Might not be super helpful, but I do get this problem everytime I update my collection. It's a larger collection so it takes awhile, when I come back to it a few hours later it usually asks if I want to confirm the update if there are any errors. Once I say yes, but it goes to "Finishing Up", and then Launchbox inevitably stops working. Is it a longer process if the collection is large? I'm not sure if it's still working in the background.

Hey LB team and everyone, Wanted to see what others thought on this. I've seen some changes in the database that are changing the max players number to the amount in an online game, sometimes as high as 250. Is max players supposed to be local players, or is online included? Thanks

Hey seaview, would like to request another. NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC is now playable in MAME. The game is also on other systems, but based on the arcade flyer for the game, it looks like the logo would be different. Thanks in advance!

Hey @Jason Carr, was there a possibility of MAME LB updates being announced when they come out? I couldn't tell if that's what was potentially happening here.

I know it was mentioned before, but I'm also getting crashes out of Big Box with the latest betas without an error message. I'll try to catch a log next time. My plugins are Playtime Tracker, Bulk Command Line Editor and PCSX2 Configurator.

Hey guys, hopefully a real easy fix here. I submitted this clear logo for SoulCalibur III Arcade Edition for PS2; it has a white background. Any chance someone could make it transparent and we can then replace the image I uploaded? Thanks

Pigbacking off what Mr. Laor mentioned, the ability to label what the screenshots are too would be beneficial (gameplay vs title screen vs game over, etc). Great release again LB team!

It's mentioned in the settings section that RetroArch doesn't work with the auto screenshots, but LB will take any screenshots you collect while in RA (using the quick menu/hotkey).

Hey everyone, Has anyone had any luck running Amstrad CPC using RA? I've got a combination of .dsk and .cpr files. According to the libretro files, the games should autorun when using the Caprice32 core. However, it just boots into what looks to be the bios/gui for the Amstrad and I cannot get the game itself to load. Does anyone know if there are settings that need to be changed? Thanks in advance

Hey Jason, thanks for explaining the process. With regards to the importer, any chance it can remember the location of where your MAME roms are?

Just an FYI, doubt it has to do with the beta itself, but when I try to download Nyny77's Platform video for Amstrad GX4000, LB just gets stuck importing the video and I have to close LB and restart.

Hey LB team + all, had a quick topic I wanted to run by you. I remember when the Pause Screen was being implemented, the LB team was able to implement having any additional application that was a PDF be seen on the pause screen and it could be pulled up with the PDF reader, which is an awesome feature. Works great for game guides and articles. I do remember during the discussion some talk about trying to save the location in the PDF when the file was opened again, so when someone was referencing a guide from time to time they could keep their location. As I remember, Jason looked into it and said it looked unlikely to be done. This also seems to be what another topic on another board came up with as well: https://superuser.com/questions/313666/how-to-save-scroll-state-of-pdf-file-in-chrome Out of curiosity, when it comes to the PDF viewer, would it be a licensing issue to use something like Adobe Reader's free PDF viewer, or perhaps a couple other free PDF viewers? Was looking around at some of the suggestions at this link: https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/best-free-pdf-reader. Genuinely curious, as I'm not privy to the semantics of the licensing. There was a couple points on that discussion in Superuser that mentioned chrome's PDF viewer is limited in scope and seems unlikely to be updated. Was hoping to get some general thoughts from the team and other users. I'm also sure this would be a big undertaking if ever implemented, and want to say the setup now works very well and doesn't need any changing. Thanks all in advance

Thanks LB team, Origin games are importing well now for me. On a side note, is there a way to have it so that the Origin Client doesn't stay open when you exit the game? I notice that when I quit an Origin game, my Origin page is open and I need to close it in order to get back to BB. I've left the option unchecked to Launch game with Origin Client in options

Thanks for the response Christian. For me it's not showing any games in the list after I signed into Origin and tried to import the games.

Thanks for the great additions LB team. Question for you guys: for Origin, if the games aren't installed, should they still show up in the list when you go to import games through Origin?

Thanks Jason, appreciate that update.

You are right, mine is at 300%.

Attached a screenshot. I'm on the far right option but can't see the header.

Great additions. I've noticed that on the new High Scores window, the far right option is not visible on my screen, though I can scroll over to it. Looks to be a list of usernames but I can't see a header.

Hey @Jason Carr and LB team, any chance you guys might have a guess as to what's causing this? I have a large collection as well, but when importing a single arcade game it takes a few minutes on the "Saving Games" step before it is successfully imported.

Thanks for the great updates. I noticed when pulling up the Hi Scores in BB, the right side of the text is being cut off and there's no way to scroll right (no biggie, it's really just the end part of the date for the score). Is there any way the user can adjust the size of the text? I'm at 4K resolution, not sure if that's part of the problem.

Hey @Jason Carr and LB team; I accidentally used the Sleep option in BB. After coming out of sleep mode and exiting BB, I'm getting an error saying my Launchbox/Data/Settings file is corrupt and LB cannot continue. It also says root element is missing. It asks to restore a backup, but I'm not sure how I can restore if I can't get into LB itself. Any help is appreciated. Edit: Was able to just copy the files over from the Automatic backup zip, looks to be fixed. I took a look at a bunch of my XMLs and they had "Null" written all over them. Not sure what happened, but not a hard fix.

Thanks for these updates LB team, great additions. Just a small request; is there any possibility the importer can remember the selection for Prioritizing Steam/GOG metadata?

Hey Jason, I have a log file here, along with part of the MAME log. Not sure if it helps much, but I'm still guessing it has something to do moreso with my MAME setup. MAME log relevant part: Attempting to parse: default.cfg Attempting to parse: 4dwarrio.cfg Starting 4-D Warriors (315-5162) hiscore: found hiscore.dat entry for 4dwarrio hiscore: scores read FAIL Edit: It's working now, I'm not entirely sure what setting I changed but I'll take it!
