  1. 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!
  2. 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).
  3. 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
  4. 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?
  5. 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.
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. 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.
  9. 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?
  10. Thanks Jason, appreciate that update.
  11. You are right, mine is at 300%.
  12. Attached a screenshot. I'm on the far right option but can't see the header.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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?
  18. 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! Debug 2020-03-21 11-58-30 AM.log
  19. Thanks for the info. What's weird is that I have old .hi files for some games from 2016 or so (I must have had this working at some point) that actually get uploaded when I play those games in LB. However the files don't appear to be updating, and I tried one that supposedly works with HiScore (4-D Warriors) and got above the top score in-game, but nothing was uploaded and no .hi file was created. I'm guessing it's something with my MAME setup but not sure what yet.
  20. So quick question regarding MAME and High Scores. I know that in the plugin file you have to set HiScore to 1, which I did. Autosave is not enabled. Am I safe to assume that I should be seeing a .hi created after playing games that work with HiScores? I've just tried playing a couple that do (according to the sidebar in LB) and no file is being created. Not sure what setting I might need to change.
  21. I used the GOG import tool. I noticed that on both games that I added using the GOG import tool, there is no application listed for the games when I go into edit.
  22. Thanks for the info. I just installed a GOG game, Worms Forts - Under Siege, and it's not registering as Installed in LB. I did change the setting in LB to installed, but there's still no "Play" option in LB or BB
  23. Thanks for the big additions LB team. One thing I've noticed is that after I imported my GOG games, there's no option for "Play" in BB for those games. Another question I had. For the "Installed" Badge, does LB check if the game is installed on each startup of LB? Or is it just based initially on the status when the import is done? Decimal numbering looks to be fixed for Touhou. Thanks again guys!
  24. Full set importer. Street Fighter III: New Generation is one example, it defaults to the Hispanic rom. I'll check around for more, but I've seen it several times.
  25. Hey @Jason Carr, this looks to still be an issue, as I've been going thru my MAME games after using the importer and it still defaults to the Hispanic versions instead of USA. Was there a fix along the way I missed for this?
