All Activity

ok number 200 is on the books...

then someone should build it. that shouldn't be too difficult. would be a lot easier that way

I don't think that's possible. I think you can search your own collection for missing logos within LaunchBox.

@CriticalCid@seaview59@gamesmame: is it possible to search the gamesdb with extra filters? for instance, how can i per platform search for all games without a clear logo?

Tools > Manage > Emulators. Go to the one(s) you want to play in softcore and press edit. There should be a new "RetroAchievements" tab with a checkbox that allows you to pick hardcore or softcore. Believe checked is hardcore and unchecked is softcore.

Yeah, I think the app is set up so if you're behind it grabs the newest full version first (if possible) and then checks for beta after the fact. Not sure it's possible in app to go from an older version to the current beta.

Hi there! I installed the latest update for Launchbox and was quite excited for the Retroachievements login. It seems my emulators keep forgetting my credentials so this should be a big help towards that. My problem is that I play in softcore mode, as I think of the achievements as just nice little bonuses for games I've already played. But it seems like now that I've setup the Launchbox integration, all my emulators will only use hardcore mode, and there doesn't seem to be a setting in the UI to control that. Is there a config file or something I can go change to fix this? Thank you for your help!

i always take my arcade.xml out of the data folder (also as a backup) so i always start from scratch. so move arcade.xml from [drive]:\Launchbox\Data\Platforms do a full import. uncheck all images downloads. and perform a full import. takes 5 minutes.

Hi. I download the latest MAME every month using Torrentcheck - then I do the MAME Arcade Full Set import and everything seems fine. But I've really just noticed that any rom with additional apps is duplicating entries. It might be the way I'm doing the import but has anyone seen this before? And is the best way to clean it up probably just to delete the platform and reimport? Thanks.

Oh also I'm not sure how I could incorporate a default set of values as a placeholder while I researched what every single button does. I realize the button labels above can be more accurate for the game, and I will change them when I get it working to things like A is shoot and B is jump.

I have had a heck of a time with this trying to get anything outside of MAME to show instructions using an XML file. I've tried adding the ROM name to the Arcade file, making a new file for the system name, a new file for the program name, and nothing seems to work. When I hit play I get the image/logo for the game at the top of the third monitor and no instructions. I know the instructions I wrote are good because I pasted them over an arcade game and launched that game and they were all there and correct, so it seems I just don't know what file it's looking for when it's not a MAME game. For example purposes let's say I'm working with Super C for the NES. I put the below into the Arcade XML, a "Nintendo Entertainment System" XML, and a "Retroarch" XML and none of them work. I've put underscores where the spaces are, just nothing will show up. The concept for the plugin is great, I just can't figure out how to do other systems. Instructions of "Game controls can be manually added copying the existing format" doesn't seem to be working and the author hasn't been on in almost 2 years. Other similar plugins rely on images, I feel like the XML is good enough without having to create control panel images for all my games. <Game RomName="Super C (USA)" GameName="Super C" NumPlayers="2" Alternating="0" Mirrored="0" UsesService="0" Tilt="0" Cocktail="0"> <Status Verified="1" /> <MiscDetails /> <Player Number="1" NumButtons="6"> <Controls> <Control Name="Player 1 Joystick"> <Constant Name="joy8way" /> </Control> </Controls> <Labels> <Label Name="P1_BUTTON1" Value="Turbo B" Color="Blue" /> <Label Name="P1_BUTTON2" Value="Turbo A" Color="Black" /> <Label Name="P1_BUTTON4" Value="B" Color="Blue" /> <Label Name="P1_BUTTON5" Value="A" Color="Black" /> <Label Name="P1_BUTTON7" Value="Select" Color="White" /> <Label Name="P1_BUTTON8" Value="Start" Color="White" /> </Labels> </Player> <Player Number="2" NumButtons="6"> <Controls> <Control Name="Player 2 Joystick"> <Constant Name="doublejoy8way" /> </Control> </Controls> <Labels> <Label Name="P1_BUTTON1" Value="Turbo B" Color="Red" /> <Label Name="P1_BUTTON2" Value="Turbo A" Color="Black" /> <Label Name="P1_BUTTON4" Value="B" Color="Red" /> <Label Name="P1_BUTTON5" Value="A" Color="Black" /> <Label Name="P1_BUTTON7" Value="Select" Color="White" /> <Label Name="P1_BUTTON8" Value="Start" Color="White" /> </Labels> </Player> </Game>

I saw an option in LB to do beta, after activating it, LB didn't pull 13.23 beta. It began installing 13.22.

have to leave something for you dont I😁

I will try it, just want to know if running 13.21 again after, if there is issues trying a beta version, will be safe? Never tried a beta version with LB before. Also where do I grab the beta?

just one tip... removes ever "tm" from logos 😉

Thanks! Just did the update to waspi. Do I need to do anything else or undo anything?

this was a fun one

These changes behind the screens, could that be in relation with an issue I have about moderating?

don't mention it, besides... I like doing them. Gives me a chance to slowly get better.

I don't have that option And when I get there via another route,..i get a 404

They all look great. Thank you very much, it’s really appreciated!

click on your account icon and choose "moderation"

If you haven't already. Sign out and then sign back in. Also the link is https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/moderation/ not sure where the extra characters came from. When you log in and see the account page there is a moderation header in the body of the page you can click on. You can also click on your profile Icon and then select "Moderation" from the drop down. Let us know if you still have issues.

@WoodysrZ : The logo you provided for Rampage 2 - Universal Tour... I found, considering what the game is about, a bit too simple. It needs George, Lizzie and Ralph 🐒🦎🐺
