Beta 2 for LaunchBox 13.23 is now available, and it brings even more polish and usability improvements. Here is what is new in this update: New Feature: LaunchBox now opens with a brand new Welcome Wizard that helps users quickly set up their games, preferences, and media so they can jump straight into the fun New Feature: A new automation rule for Game Progress Tracking now allows games to be marked as paused if they have not been played in a user-defined number of days New Feature: A new Media Settings section under Tools > Options > Media > Automatic Imports lets users customize which media files are downloaded during automated imports Improvement: When arranging by Game Progress, sorting now follows your user-defined order for progress values and headers Improvement: Platform icons have been visually refreshed for Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, and PICO-8 to better represent each system Improvement: Screensaver 4 for the Default view is now complete and available for testing Improvement: The “Attract Mode Master Volume” option in Big Box is now called “Idle Master Volume” and now controls both Screensaver and Attract Mode audio. Improvement: Marquee screens and LEDBlinky integration should now function properly with Screensavers Fixes: Games hidden by the user will no longer appear in the Game Discovery Center Fixes: The Beat em Up clear logo now displays correctly under all conditions Fixes: Resetting play time and play count now also resets these values for all additional apps attached to a game Fixes: Hybrid views now provide proper audio feedback when navigating with a controller or keyboard Fixes: Some custom LaunchBox themes were silently failing to poll the selected game, which could prevent item highlighting from working correctly Fixes: In some custom LaunchBox themes, multiple carousel controls in the Game Details panel were not always updating as expected The new Welcome Wizard is a big step toward improving the experience for first-time users. You will only see it on brand new installations, but we would love testing and feedback around it. The goal is not to overwhelm new users but to help them get up and running quickly. By the end of the wizard, users should have some games imported, a few preferences set, and some additional features enabled. Also, with this beta, the fourth and final default screensaver view is now complete. That gives you four unique built-in screensavers to try out. You will now see each one has a name, and theme developers can name their own as well using the ThemeSettings.xml file in their themes. The default theme is a great example of how to do it. As always, thanks guys for helping test the next release.7 points

Hey everyone! We just wrapped up a major migration of the LaunchBox Games Database to a brand new server, and it wasn't just a lift and shift. We moved from a Windows based system to a modern Linux environment, which meant reworking some big foundational pieces behind the scenes. This included: Migrating and restructuring our databases Replacing and reconfiguring web services Upgrading to the latest version of .NET And a bunch of boring backend plumbing Why does this matter? We are now in a much better place for long term stability, performance, and scalability. This new setup is leaner, faster, and way more futureproof, which means we can continue building great stuff on top of it without worrying about technical debt from 2015 breathing down our necks. That said, any time you do a migration like this, there is always a chance something slips through the cracks. So if you notice anything odd, broken pages, weird behavior, let us know right here in this thread. We will be keeping an eye out and jumping on anything that needs cleanup. Thanks for bearing with us through the transition! This is a big step forward for the future of the GamesDB and LaunchBox as a whole.6 points

@_Besli_ : Steel Talons. On the games DB was a small logo...not even with the Eagle with its talons. That is kind of implied in the name that the Eagle and talons are included in the logo 😉 So I used your high detailed image to make a better one. https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/5860-steel-talons5 points
