The only issue I've seen with the MAME Full Set Import Wizard is if you run it shortly after a new MAME update and there were new games added, the new games sometimes don't get filtered properly (or at all, actually) because LaunchBox hasn't updated their internal MAME metadata to include those. I don't know what their update policy/frequency is. If you're finding older entries (games) aren't being filtered properly, I'd suggest filing bug report to let the team know.

Can't say I've ever seen a version of MAME (or variant thereof) that didn't have a UI. Maybe try the one direct from the MAMEDev team and see if the results are any different. If that still doesn't work, might share some screenshots of your MAME install in LaunchBox. Edit the emulator and share a screenshot of the main details section and the Associated Platforms section. Also, edit your sf2 game (in LaunchBox) and share a screenshot of its main details section, the Launching section and the Emulation section. Couldn't tell if you actually edited/changed the mame.ini file or not. If so, share what was changed and to what.

Glad you were able to work it out yourself.

When clicking it (one or the other of the red arrows) it should open a dropdown menu (red box) to select from. You then can scroll down to Platform Category (or Platform or Playlist or whatever you wish)

Looking at your image, there are no Filters set. (the filter icon would be green if there were. ) You can change what's being viewed by clicking the upside-down triangle to the right of Complete. (Or actually, you can just click on Complete.)

Just tested it in v13.18 and is working here. Can you provide more details about what 'doesn't seem to work'? But yes, this beta-plugin is broken in v13.19. After 5 years and as many comments from different Forum Members (one of the [only] 5 being you), I'm doubt it's going to get much attention. Not by me, that is. A quick once-over of the code indicates it will need to be re-written to work in 13.19. I may return to this sometime in the future if I bet bored, have time and feel like working on it.

Not sure what you're worried about. You had 2 different plugin developers tell you to do it. You think we're trying to sabotage you?

I missed that you were on NET Framework. Not sure if that'd still work. Just do what SuperRob suggested and do the upgrade. But yeah, make a backup 1st (just copy the folder the whole solution is in and save it somewhere).

Since you asked nicely.

Bulk change game Titles to Alternate Names (by Region) View File Game Title - Alternate Name Inspired from a comment by @AstroBob (December 2024) Challenge accepted. 😎 Some (many?) games have Alternate Names and are saved as such when metadata is scraped from the LaunchBox Games Database. These are generally used for different Regions. Using this plugin, you can bulk change the game Titles in a Platform to an Alternate Name found for a selected Region. Prerequisites Requires LaunchBox v13.19 (or newer) Installing Download and extract the contents of the download into your /LaunchBox/Plugins/ folder. i.e. D:/LaunchBox/Plugins/GameTitle-AlternateName/GameTitle-AlternateName.dll Using Start LaunchBox From the Tools menu, select Game Title - Alternate Name Select a Platform Select a Region Only possible Alternate Name Regions for games in that platform will be shown. If the Alternate Name doesn't have a Region. it will be listed as [Blank] Click Change Titles If a game doesn't have an Alternate Name for the selected Region, nothing will change for that game. If any of the games have more than one Alternate Name for the selected Region, you have the option to: (default) manually select the Title for each game having more than one Title for that Region (optional) replace the game Title with the 1st one it finds for the selected Region (check Select First Title) If you didn't check Select First Title (default): When clicking Change Titles, after the games that had a single Title for the Region are updated, you will be shown a list of games that have multiple Titles for the selected region. Select a game, then double-click the Title you wish to use. Updates (internet connection required) If an (U)pdate for this plugin has been released on the forums, The plugin title in the Tools menu will show as: (U) Game Title - Alternate Name (The addition of (U) at the beginning) At the top of the plugin window, it will show "Update available" Click the Info/Support icon, then click the Update Available button.

Or.... install the .webm codec on your computer for Windows Media Player. Once you do that they should play.

With LaunchBox Premium, you can add an image to \LaunchBox\Images\Platform Icons\. From there, go to the subfolder for which image type it is. Platform Categories, Platforms (in your case) or Playlists. Put your image in 'there' and name it exactly the same as the Category/Platform/Playlist. i.e. D:\LaunchBox\Images\Platform Icons\Platforms\Windows Classic.png

The issue I believe with TeknoParrot is, is that it's actually a launcher for the games. So when you launch the "game", it then launches the "actual game" and quits itself. LaunchBox sees the "game" is no longer 'running' (even though the "actual game" is still loading) and sees no reason to keep the loading screen up, thus closing it. So even if you set the loading time to 20 minutes, it's going to close virtually right-away. TeknoParrot (and also Steam for that matter) aside and keeping with this threads Title: You can set it per game or per emulator for up to 30 seconds. Per game: Edit the game and in the Startup/Pause section, check Override Default Startup Screen Settings then click Customize. Check Enable and adjust the slider as necessary. Per Emulator: Edit the emulator and in the Startup Screen section, adjust the slider as necessary. Per many games: Select the games you want to adjust it for. Press Ctrl+E to start the Bulk Edit Wizard. For the Field, select Startup Screen - Load Delay. For the Value, adjust the slider as necessary. Follow the prompts to save. If 30 seconds still isn't enough, there's a plugin for that. But it can only go to a max of 5 minutes.
