You're welcome. As far as when the official 13.28 release will be, I'm not in "that" loop. aka, don't know. Automated imports can be triggered via the settings: Tools < Options < General < Automated Imports -- Enable Automatic ROM Imports Tools < Manage < Storefronts -- Enable Automatic Imports On Startup The local database file should only get updated if either of those finds and imports new games (assuming they're enabled), if you manually import new games or if you run: Tools < Download < Update Metadata and Media for ... Games... (which gives you the option to not update it) Tools < Download < Force Update Games Database Metadata... There may be 1 or 2 other actions that I missed. But the local database file won't be updated unless one of these actions are triggered.

Select the one for LaunchBox Games Database.

You're welcome. What do you mean? Just let LaunchBox download the images for you and they'll be placed into the correct folders for you. You never have to even look at the folder structure.

Once you add a platform, they should show up under /LaunchBox/Images/platform_name/image_type_folder/

Either I'm not seeing them, or someone else already "handled it".

LaunchBox Image Grid and image caching - Badge tooltips working again - Item Height (Section Override) persist per platform upon restart (confirming what Drybonz said) - download or replace artwork resume correctly after closing download mid-process PlayStation Vita imports - auto-imports now with proper game Titles (vs. game IDs) as the game Title Bezel Project downloads - cancelled during partial download without issue - started download - extracts correctly (tested for stand-alone MAME) LaunchBox window and Options behavior - minimize and restore LaunchBox via clicking the upper-right {minimize} button, taskbar, Win+M and Alt+Tabing all function as expected - Ctrl + , (Ctrl and comma key-combo) work great to bring to the Options window. No matter the Video Playback Engine Plugin Manager and bundled integrations - All in separate instances, - tested Repair plugin - tested Uninstall plugin These both showed clear messages and restarted LB without issue - tested install plugin Message showed the plugin was installed. LB did not (need to?) restart.

Tools > Options > Visuals > Main Window Theme > Features - Use Arrange By scrollbar or... Ctrl + , (Ctrl and comma key-combo) > Visuals > Main Window Theme > Features - Use Arrange By scrollbar

My guess is the mentioned "Improvement" fixes that. For new (fresh) installs, it's turned on by default. If you've only ever 'updated' since [just before] its introduction in v13.12, it should have been off.

It's for the Automated Imports feature. If your collection is pretty well established, you can probably go ahead and disable it. This process has been reworked in the current beta releases for 13.28. "Improvement: Automatic ROM Import now runs in the background with clearer progress, completion, and error notifications"

In the 13.28 beta release... "Improvement: LocalDb startup work has been optimized to reduce startup overhead during local metadata database initialization and lookups" This seems to include the updating of the local database which only occurs once per day (or roughly every 24 hours). My tests for updating the local database: v13.27 1 minute 43 seconds v13.28 (beta) 37 seconds.

You're welcome. I have never attempted to (and never will) run MAME via RetroArch. So, it's not that I won't, but that I can't be of any help with that. Hopefully someone who does run MAME via RetroArch can chime in and offer some guidance. For them to help you, you might want to elaborate on what you mean by "how to match launcbox and retroarch together". It may also be helpful to provide them some screenshots of your settings. In LaunchBox, edit your RetroArch emulator and provide a screenshot of: the main Details section the Associated Platforms section [that shows the platform you're trying to associate to]

Hopefully. After you add the MAME emulator to LaunchBox and click "OK" to save it, LaunchBox will pop up a message window asking if you want to make MAME the default emulator for "Arcade". (the answer is Yes). ? What happens when you double-click the file in Windows Explorer? It's a self-extracting exe file that when opened should ask you where you want to extract the files to. Alternately, you can open the file as a zip archive (which will then show you the contents if the zip file) and then copy the contents of the zip to wherever you want? But double-clicking it and telling it where to extract the files is easier for most users.

That error is usually because RetroArch can't find the ROM or it's assigned the wrong core. It's highly recommended to use the stand-alone MAME emulator for Arcade. You can go to Tools - Manage - Emulators - Add new emulator and select MAME. You can read more about it here: MAME LaunchBox Integration Plugin - LaunchBox

Not sure what version of LaunchBox you're on, but v13.28-beta has an update fixing an issue regarding the Big Box startup videos. If you so desire, you can opt into the beta releases. In LaunchBox, go to: Tools < Options < General < Updates

The video that shows when you first start Big Box goes into \LaunchBox\Videos\startup\yourVideoFile.mp4 If the Videos folder doesn't already exist, you have some other issue going on. If the startup folder doesn't already exist, create as shown above.

Look in Tools < Options < Visuals < Game Details Is Show Videos checked?

Click on your user in the very upper right corner of this page. Select Account Settings Select Security and Privacy enter your password Scroll down to Account Deletion (very bottom) and select Request Account Deletion

This has been fixed internally and will be available in the next beta release (13.28-beta-5). Or you can wait until its (13.28) official release. Thanks for you patience.

I presume you have a premium LaunchBox license. (Video playback requires the paid license.) When you scraped from EmuMovies, was that done from within LaunchBox? When added manually, are the video filenames the exact same as the games title or the ROM filename? (either works) A note on using titles, if it contains an invalid character or a single quote ' , those need to be replaced with an underscore. _ e.g. Title = Joe's game: Volume 1 would become Joe_s game_ Volume 1.mp4 Is auto-play videos enabled? View < Media < Auto-Play Videos (Ctrl+Alt+V)

Did you file a bug report? I tried looking on the Feedback page and couldn't see on relating to this issue.

Temporary workaround: Disable Auto-Play Videos. Alternately, use either WMP or ffmpeg for Video Playback. If you 'need' to continue using VLC, when you attempt to e.g. Alt+Tab back to LaunchBox from a minimized state, if on Windows 11, as you found you can click it on the taskbar twice. If on Windows 10, that doesn't seem to work. In this case (with LaunchBox "focused" but not visible), Press Win+Up.

If you're on the LaunchBox v13.28-beta's, there's have been similar reports noted in the beta thread. The interim fix is to disable Startup Screens. If you're on an earlier LB build, then don't know. You might try using the PCSX2x6 [fork] emulator for the 'new' lightgun games. (this is assuming the new games are from the Namco System 246 and System 256 systems.)

Glad to hear. Also, be sure to read the section Emulator Settings in the plugin description (1st page of this thread) as it covers specifics just for SuperModel.

Is that the name of your Platform? Does your SuperModel3 emulator have the Associated Platform "Sega Model 3"? (assuming that's the name of the platform) Did you try clicking Refresh All in the Setting UI?
