Hey LB team, I've been using the MAME Full Set Importer for the last couple of MAME updates to download and update the emulator. I did run into something that I just noticed however. I have Daphne and American Laser Game playlists under my Arcade category, which use different emulators than MAME. However, I've noticed that these games/playlists are being reconfigured to use MAME when the MAME Updater in the Full Set Import is being used. Is there any way to get around this? I supposed I could manually update MAME, but the Full Set Importer is very convenient and easy to use. Thanks!

I had a similar error to erdybirdy, mine was with using Horizontal Wheel View 3 on the default Critical Zone theme in Big Box. I attached the screenshot below

Thanks JoeViking an Faeran, that is a good explanation. When I go to update the MAME emulator each time a new release comes out, is that command line going to automatically be put back in?

Thanks LB team, the controller bug is fixed for me as well. Another quick question: has the default MAME command line argument been changed at some point recently? The reason I ask is because I currently have my ROMS and CHDs in 2 separate locations; both are set up as ROM directories within MAME itself, and games can launch fine from MAME standalone, even if the game has a CHD. However, when I try to launch any games that require a CHD in MAME thru LB, it doesn't load. I saw the "-rompath %romlocation%" argument in the MAME emulator command line. Could that have anything to do with it?

Think I got the same as Rlad. Couldn't control Related Games with the controller and then it errored out: The calling thread cannot access this object because a different thread owns it.

Yea, that's exactly what I was referring to. Very cool, thanks for the info!

Huge thanks to the LB team for incorporating this feature. Quick question: would there be a possibility of an option for only displaying games that are in the user's collection?

Hey everyone, had another request if possible. It's All-Pro Football 2K8 for Xbox 360 and PS3. Thank you in advance!

Hi @CriticalCid, thanks for a great theme. Quick question. I use Horizontal View 3, and I was wondering if there is some way to get the information text on the right side to scroll down through additional fields. For instance, the play time feature was added recently, and it's included depending on how many other fields are populated. However, if there are other fields populated (like version, publisher, developer etc.) for a given game, you can't see the play time tracker. I can try to attach a screenshot if it's helpful to explain what I'm asking about. Either way, thanks for the great theme.

So following on what Mayora said, do we have to set up each game with a specific path like that? It's not something that could be set in emulator settings with command line

Hey LB team, one more thing I noticed. If you don't have any games selected and go to Update Metadata, it states it will update the media for all games. However, if you actually run the updater, it will not update anything and just states it updated 0 games right after the updater runs. Seems like this could be a cool option as opposed to selecting the whole collection with Ctrl+A

You can disregard my post. For some reason when I upgraded to Windows 11, Adobe Reader isn't working for me anymore. Doesn't appear to be a problem with LB at all. EDIT: Well, maybe not. I can open the documents outside of LB using Adobe Reader. They do not open from within LB.

That's interesting, I guess I never realized that. Is that also the case in BB?

Does LB have a built in PDF viewer? Good question tho, I'll check.

It doesn't open at all

Hey LB team. I noticed that with this recent beta as well, if you try to open any documents thru LB, like the manual or a guide that is a PDF, nothing opens in LB. In BB it works fine.

Thanks for another big update. One thing I've noticed is the PDF viewer doesn't seem to be opening from within LB to view manuals or additional documents. It still works properly in BB

Thanks for the info neil, I actually wasn't sure how it worked. I'm in the same boat as surfdeign; I use a large screen TV for my setup, so anything smaller just becomes more difficult to read. Also thanks to Christian and the LB team for working on a fix.

Hey LB team, all the options in the different lists are still not visible for me and I'm unable to scroll down. On the most recent beta (12 beta 3). Running Desktop at 4K, 300%.

The overview spacing is fixed. Great work as always

I believe this started with this specific beta, but I noticed that the spacing in the Game Overview panel is different. Any game that had lines between text/paragraphs now seems to have extra blank lines added and the spacing is off from where it used to be. One example I see is for Trails of Cold Steel II for PC, but really any game I pull up that had extra spacing in it seems to be off now. I'll see if I can get a picture. EDIT: Included a picture of an example. Happens on all games with any additional spacing in the overview. It also seems like when BB loads sometimes, only the first paragraph or part of the overview will show up at all.

Any chance I could get a logo for this one? It's Virtual-On Force for the Xbox 360. The logo only appears to be in a square shape; I attached a couple of the highest quality pics I could find. Thanks in advance

@C-Beats I dont' have the URLs because unfortunately all the messages says are 404 Error: Please sign in. I'll run it again with debug logs to see if I can get it to replicate.

That makes sense, thanks for the response. Though I always have Steam running in the background, and it's still happening currently as I'm logged in. Maybe if it got interrupted at some point it starts throwing that error.

With the download metadata and media tool, I'm getting a lot of 404 errors. It doesn't specifically say what I need to log in to. Could you guys clarify?
