It's insanely quick; awesome work LB team. One thing I've noticed is that any games that were added to the DB within the past couple days don't seem to be pulling over to the new LB database file locally, at least for me. I added a couple about 3 days ago and they aren't found when searching the LB database file on my PC. I've tried Force Updating the Metadata as well.

Came to check on this as well. Only seeing one page makes it tough to see if some changes were approved or not.

Hey guys. Any chance someone could take a shot at this one? Front Page Sports Football Pro '97 for Windows. Not sure if the box front or back would be easier to work with.

That's a good idea, thanks for the suggestion. I'll reach out to the author today.

Hey guys, I'm in the process of adding a bunch of DK ROM Hacks (and a few others) to the DB. They have nice custom marquees, but I'm having trouble getting logos out of them. If anyone has any luck with even one of them, I'd appreciate it.

They changed the assignments for buttons a couple versions back, it threw me off for a bit too. I ended up going into a single MAME game, mapped the controls and then looked in the cfg file and see what the new names/labels were for buttons that weren't working. A bunch of stuff got mapped to the Right analog stick in my situation.

Getting a lot of errors when moderating in the DB, to the point where even refreshing doesn't seem to break the error cycle.

I'm getting them as well, last couple days it seems to have gotten worse

Something funky is happening with game screenshots for me. I'm using Default Critical Zone, and the game screenshot with show up for a second and then vanish. This is when I'm scrolling through the games.

Hey everyone, anyone able to clean this one up for me? It's a PS1 Rom Hack

One other thing I've noticed with the recent betas is that the release year is only showing up for some games in Big Box; it looks to be sporadic. I'm using the Game Discovery Center

Might just be my setup, but the 3D boxes are no longer rotating with the right joystick anymore. Default view

I've got no options showing up in the Game Details screen in Big Box, just a blank list. Critical Zone default is my theme.

Is there a way to update BB themes (via Theme Manager) without being in BB? Because I can't see the text lists at all in BB, and I'm getting an error each time a text list tries to load.

One last thing to mention with regards to this beta. The multi-disc issue m3u issue was fixed earlier in the cycle (thank you for that), but I did notice that when you try to import a single game on system using RA, it'll ask you for the core for that import as well. However, if that game's selected core doesn't match the system's default emulator, it just defaults to the default emu. Seems to ignore that selection for the import

Thanks for the fix in the newest beta. One follow up question. Since we can't set a secondary core for certain games with any kind of drop-down, etc., I've been using command line for certain games that need Beetle PSX HW. However, that is still using m3u files, even when the core is not set to do so within LB's emulator options.

Got it. Thanks for taking a look C-Beats, I appreciate it.

Hey LB team, got a bit of an odd bug here. I use Retroarch's Swanstation primarily for my PSX games, and I have had m3u creation enabled in settings. For some PSX games with texture packs, Beetle PSX HW is needed. I've put that core as a secondary in my Associated Platforms tab, and have m3u creation disabled/unchecked for that core. When I launch a PSX game with Beetle, it still creates the m3u file. The only way it doesn't is if I turn it off for Swanstation as well. Is there any way to disable m3u on a core per game basis, or does the default m3u option always have to be unchecked?

-g works for me still.

Huh. Yea that's all I had in there. That pull request I referenced is now merged tho, I wonder if that changed anything. It also said in there --game is a command line argument, I wonder if that would work. Should be able to test it soon.

Glad it worked. I tried with just the -g command also, and it worked for me. Hopefully that keeps working for awhile.

This might help, haven't tested it yet: https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/pull/1586 Looks like we're gonna need to add -g and -f. I should be able to check it later. Granted, that pull request hasn't been merged yet.

Same issue. It worked before but I believe I recent update changed how it launches via command line. Will try to figure out what we need to do to make it work

Hey guys, any chance for these two? 1. Sonic 2 VS - Sega Genesis 2. Golden Tee LIVE 2007 - Arcade Thanks in advance!

Couple more things I've figured out @AstroBob that could potentially be helpful narrowing down the issue. - I've tried a fresh install of LB 13.17 in a different folder. I still seem to get NET core errors. - Tried reinstalling/uninstalling NET core 6.0 and 3.1. Also ran sfc /scannow with no improvements. I'm thinking it could be helpful to go back to the version before LB switched to the newer NET core version, but I'm unsure where I would find an particular older version of LB. Is there a repository somewhere for the older versions? (10/27 update): Continuing to look into this, I searched for the specific error code I was getting. Several different resources mention a possible issue being background garbage collection, "gcConcurrent" setting used within NET core. The couple resources I found: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/runtime-config/garbage-collector (specifically the Background GC part) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4367664/application-crashes-with-internal-error-in-the-net-runtime (mentions the error and it potentially having to do with garbage collection) I'm now trying to see if I can change that setting within the LB runtimeconfig.json file itself. Guessing I might break something in the process, but if this extra info provides any chance of a repair it's worth it. After all that, this looks to work for me. I added this to my LB runtimeconfig file and I'm not getting the crashes with updating metadata/media anymore. { "runtimeOptions": { "configProperties": { "System.GC.Concurrent": false } } }
