Welcome Aboard: A Muppet Cruise to Computer Literacy submitted to LB database

So when I try to import my atari lynx files (.lnx), launchbox isn't detecting any games in the folder when I get to the ready to import window. Everything is working as it should when I play them with Retroarch. I'm using Retroarch as the emulator in Launchbox, and all my other games are working perfectly fine in Launchbox including the other games I'm using Retroarch to play from Launchbox. It just acts like there are no .lnx files.

I'm having a similar issue, except I'm almost certain that I purchased the premium license some years back. At the top right it says I'm using the free version, though I'm pretty sure it just recently updated so I'm not sure if there even is an issue besides the fact that it says free version. Did I lose my premium license somehow?

Can we get this please, it's this: https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/374165-welcome-aboard-a-muppet-cruise-to-computer-literacy It was also released on the C64, but it's currently using the wrong name (at least not the full name) I've put in a request to change it to the boxart name https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/125970-welcome-aboard

Once I try to run the game using Launchbox with these two emulators, it just pops up an error message. The only other emulator that seems to work with Launchbox is Retroarch, but it's performance is terrible and the game lags all the time. I have posted the error message here. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

Lately, if I open Bigbox for example, sometimes it works fine but once I go into Options, the software completely goes unresponsive, no error message at all I'd have to force close. Same with in Launchbox, but also when I force close one, I can't even load a Retroarch game directly from LB. And often times I can't even open Dolphin or PCSX without restarting if this issue occurs. I have not installed any plugins, only themes from the Fetcher inside bigbox. Any resolution or idea what is going on? Here is in the error report (Windows 11) Description A problem caused this program to stop interacting with Windows.

Nice it does run a bit faster. Found some issues. In games view 2 the arcade video snaps are not aligned correctly to cad screen. Also the box art and cart or CD images don't show anymore in games view 4. As well. Also in platform view 2 I believe the one that has icon in middle. When you go into a wheel and then come back out the games view. The platform wheels don't show till we move the joystick again then them magically reappear. Hope to see these fixes on the next version would be awesome thank you. Love this them keep up the good work.

Sorry. They were up there for several months, I figured everyone had downloaded them all by now.

CHD files created with the new -createdvd are not been hashed for RetroAchievements.

Noted, i will fix that in next rlz.

The DMD behind the table and it being sporadic is an issue I have had both in and out of LB/BB. Even with just VPX running I have had that happen. It always seemed to be some tables more than others and could work fine for awhile then not. With three different programs running at same time (VPinMAME, VPX, BB/LB) and then anything else going on in Windows, it is prone to focus issues. However, there are a couple ways to fix the DMD glitch. One of which is 100% but requires some table code edits to embed the DMD directly into the table window. See this link. On the table itself losing focus, I have not had that prior (even with PUP Packs). Usually, that is why the DMD gets out of whack is because the table wants to pull to front as priority. I would try altering the VPX setting for running in exclusive mode vs window and see if one is working better than other. Double check resolution setting. Unlikely that is the problem as typically if issue there then would see across all tables. I would also check you are using a recent version VPX and VPinMAME. Definitely don't do the administrator hack as that will cause all other sorts of oddities in LB and VPX. Although unlikely culprit, I would for testing purposes reduce the number of background applications running in Windows as they can pull focus. Lastly, would double check your launch parameters for VPX in LB and try putting the -primary switch. If only running one screen shouldn't matter but won't hurt as it tells VPX to focus on main screen. -primary -minimized -play

Anybody willing to take a crack at this one? It's Wasteland Racers 2071 for the Arcade.

Has anyone come up with a way, batch file, to execute before starting a steam game to enter the Ipac in Xinput mode?

@CLB1966 You can do this with the "CLI Launcher" plugin. Just right-click the game in LaunchBox and select "Create Game Shortcut". For the shortcuts to work, either LaunchBox or BigBox need to already be running, but they can just be running in the background with the GUI minimized.

So i get this pop up when i try to add a game to launch box (An error occurred while trying to import games: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.) I'am new to launch box and all this so i really dont know what to do ive seen a couple vids but everything looks fine accept this pop up

Thank you. That's what I needed the last part. Awesome I will try this asap.

In the lay file replace the text <bezel element= with <element ref= and </bezel> with </element> That's all that's needed to update a single element lay. More complex lays need extra work. See Mr Do's Arcade at this link. https://mrdo.mameworld.info/

That's a BigBox only option (Options - Game Startup - Show "Loading Game..." Message) that shouldn't affect what you're experiencing. My guess is that it's more on an 'indicator' showing that [at least] something's happening. In leu of displaying a Startup Screen. Are you running a relatively recent version of VPX? I recall in the past that sometimes when loading a new table, the DMD would be behind the table. I would need to Alt+Tab to the DMD, then mouse-click on the table to make it the active window. Exit the table and then time it loaded, the windows were all in the correct z-order. But that still doesn't explain why, when launching from LaunchBox it's fine. But when launching from BigBox, it's only intermittently fine. I'm usually in LaunchBox when starting a VPX table. But did just test a couple tables (one being Tron Legacy) through BigBox, without issue. I have Startup Screens disabled and the Show "Loading Game..." Message is enabled. Not sure I can be of much help. Hopefully someone will have some ideas of what's going on.
