Just a heads up. I talked to Lahma about 2 months ago. It sounded like he got some new good things in his life. We're not that close, and I didn't ask him what his intentions were for the plugin. But I do know it was a pain to upkeep and I got the sense this project was an uphill battle, mostly with Steam breaking it all the time. I hope he comes back, but I also hope his absence is because life has been awesome for him. @C-Beats There is no keymapper or wrapper as good as Steams for the controller. The only one that comes close feature wise is REWASD but it is no easy task to set that up per game, and that's one of the biggest draws for the Steam overlay - particularly for couch gamers. You can sort of do it with other emulators, retroarch for instance, but its not nearly as clean nor robust. I do everything with my controller, literally, and my computer stays on the big screen tv in the living room. That's one of the appeals for the steam overlay, and there are others. That said, as mentioned, apparently this was a pain in the ass to maintain, so I personally never expected to see something like this officially implemented.

Hey Joe, long time! This worked like a charm. Whats odd is that launchbox autoupdated the database metadata today, but forcing it got the game to show up. Thanks!

From the Strategy Guide: LaunchBox Media Pack Feature – Version 13.21 - LaunchBox If you don’t plan to revert to an older version, it’s safe to delete the images from the locations listed below. There's more in this section of that page: https://feedback.launchbox.gg/help/articles/0459065-launchbox-media-pack-feature-version-1321#il0pze2b2mc

The issue here is it's 2 separate platforms. So it's looking in 2 separate folders. My cab has a 22" 1680x1050 monitor. TBH, I don't really fire up Big Box that often. And when I do, it goes to the 65" TV. But I don't really "look at it" because I already know what game I'm going to play. I just find the game, press "X" on the controller and it launches.

I'd like to know if we can delete the old location, too.

Update your local database Tools < Download < Force Update Games Database Metadata...

It's more about the fact that, for example: I have a teknoparrot platform, and now I created a raw thrills platform and I thought it would detect these image file names and here's a surprise. I can always go to edit and folder and change the paths, this is the fastest way, but with a larger list of platforms and duplicate games it will take some time, otherwise if I had 200 TB of space I wouldn't even bother I know, I know, I do it like that, I reduce the photos and crop the video, every gb, mb is worth its weight in gold when the space runs out hehe Tell me on what screen size do you use launchbox bigbox?

As the title says, Launchbox search (under Game/Edit/Edit Media and Metadata) isn't finding a game that I've verified is in the LB database. What could cause this? This the link to the database entry: https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/423351-the-precinct Thanks! The attached file is a just a screenshot of me trying to execute the search.

following and starting my own testing, have been chasing this issue for about 2 months now on a 5560u Mini PC from beelink.

I am currently working on some PS1 boxart, where all the images are enhanced and will naturally in the cd case as shown in the images in Big box, here are a couple of demos.

This is saying we can't save the dolphin integration plugin to the plugins folder correctly. Path tells me your running thing over a network drive and is likely causing the problem. I believe we have this resolved in the 13.22 beta but I'd have to double check.

I use this and it's very convenient. @KRI$85 The [potential] problem with this is, you'd need to know which games are "duplicated" to symlink those. Or... I suppose you could symlink each platforms' respective Images subfolders' images to the other platforms' subfolders, as a whole. You wouldn't be able to link the folders because some platforms will have games that others don't. You'd need to link the individual images. Unless... you put every single platform image(s) into ONE folder (with the respective image-type subfolders), then link all the 'other' platforms' images subfolders to that one. So you'd have something like /LaunchBox/Images/EverySinglePlatform/Box - Front/everygame.png(s) Myself, I'd rather have each platform-specific image/video available. e.g. "1942" Box-Front If you're talking say, just Clear Logos, that'd make a lot more sense. You could also run an image resizer app on your images. Take the NES Box image above for example... will you EVER display that image at 1530 x 2100? Even the Clear Logo is 2400 x 790. Look in all your Views and see if you need/use a logo that big. For videos, you could a similar thing. For my cab monitor, I've resized them to 640x480 and trimmed them to a max 37 seconds.

I can't seem to install LaunchBox due to something to do with Dolphin, I removed Dolphin from my PC and still comes up with the error, please help!!! Error: Access to the path '\\?\C:\Users\PC\LaunchBox\Plugins\Dolphin LaunchBox Integration' is denied.

Hmm, thanks I'll check it out, but you reminded me that there's a chains option in the system, I use it so that the media and cache are read from the SSD system although maybe this is a better solution, and it won't take up twice as much space as it is when using as a link or something like that edit: OMG I've been using it for so long that it turned out that the system doesn't have something like that and what I use for SSD is this program haha oh this sclerosis Unfortunately, this has the problem that it takes up space, i.e. there are the same files in 2 places, so I can just as well download the image files again, it will come out the same ;(

I would check out this utility: https://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html

Unified Redux ,PlatformWheel2FiltersView But I must have screwed something up because now I get an error hehe, so I'm starting again I am also wondering that supposedly there are so many PlatformWheel2FiltersView etc in the view folder, but you can only choose 2 when it comes to this theme, but I have seen similar situations in others where they present many wheel themes and when you change it is 2-4 and not like in the view 6-8 as if you did not see the rest hmm It's a pity that they turned off the weather server, it's small, but it always pleased me in the corner of the screen ;( Edit: this is what it looks like I don't know what to add in the platform so that it doesn't duplicate the amount of total games as you can see in the playlist I changed the name and nothing is displayed It would be best if they rotated as they have been doing so far, i.e. total game, the name of the platform disappears, appears, etc. but not necessarily, I would just like to know in the future where and what to change

What binding did you use and what view file were you messing with?

I know it's an old topic, but the problem is starting to affect me and I wonder why there is no possibility of inheriting media, image, video etc. if you have more of the same games in your collection but on other platforms, because it would be a game changer and you could save a lot, and you have to download the same media x times which only takes up valuable space. Of course, you can always play around with changing folders manually in the options of a given platform but with a large collection OMG. Clear media gives a false sense of help for me, of course

Wanted to get some expert advice, maybe @faeran for BB to display a counter in the corner after total game Platform playlist all games where and what lines of code should I add to themes, view example unified redux? I will copy it to others later. I would just like to see in the platform category menu and in the platform, how many platforms I have with wheels, how many playlists I have with wheels and how many games I have in total, I played around on my own and managed to add it, but I encountered 2 problems: 1. Everything appears in one line with total games (it can be) but I would like it to change, disappear dynamically as it normally is between total games and the platform name 2. It does not display numbers, it does not count how many I have of what, and I would like it to also happen dynamically and not only after restarting?

Pengon, PEGGAMMON, PENSATE and PHANTOM.

Started making a few of my own fade screens, I'll be sure to include them when I send this.

The team there is pretty good about helping out. It is a good community and eXo makes sure everyone is treated kindly, so don't be afraid to ask them anything about any of the eXo projects

Thanks for the suggestion. I just joined Discord as I have never used it before. It looks damn confusing how it is laid out but hopefully I will get an answer there; thanks again.
