I'd like to take advantage of this Beta and the RAHasher update v1.7, to point out that not all platforms nor achievements are supported in Launchbox: NDSi (platform) and Nintendo Pokemon Mini (achievements) for example. There's also a conflict between the 'Scrap As' and the 'Scan for Achievements' option : NES <> FDS ; Neo Geo Pocket <> Neo Geo Pocket color, for example. If we integrate RA achievements, it would be nice to make them fully compatible. I hope you can take a look on this.

Yes, that's right, you need to import your games without combined them, or select the default game to launch, individually. In case you didn't know, there is a native badge that shows games who have multiple versions, it can help if you do it manually. My advice is to import your game without combined them, by platform. Scan for achievements, by platform. Then fusion the games who have the same RA achievements set, manually (or delete the games you will not use). At this point, you will be able to customize your preferences with new custom fields and custom badges. Be aware that there his some case to case exceptions, like regional version who have different sets, and different platform game who have the same Achievements : NES & FDS games for example. -
Bug report : version 1.7 The badges are not displayed properly, and resizing don't fix the problem. Also, it would be cool to have an option to keep the original badge position : "Top Right corner", like the default theme.

For me, all my autopopulate playlists doesn't refresh. The games from the list, are those from the init. And if I want to access to the list of games in the playlist edit option, the app freeze every time... By the way, the Ascendant and Descendant sorting is a good idea, but it reverses the tittle sorting to. It would be more useful if it can apply to multiple fields, not just only one.

Yes it's fixed ?

I'm happy with the app in general, it's better than nothing, and it's currently the best you can find. It's just the "dev" part of me, who think things can be developed more efficiently. Anyway, keep the good work. I will see what comes in the future, and maybe I will develop my own plugins to satisfy my specifics needs. -

Actually, I was aware of this. I simply hopped that you can find a simple solution. What I think is that the actual system for adding game and /or the LB database is not the best. Steams games should be added in the DB (with a boolean for games with achievements) and recognized by their ID not their names... THIS to avoid wrong names or mixed data in LaunchBox : see the simple example of "Him & I" (attached file) who is recognized with the name "Shütshimi" (sic), but has the good poster... this is just unbelievable. And not acceptable in a certain way for those who have paid for a license. I can give you other example if you want, like "The Room three", who wasn't even recognized for import, and some other imports with the wrong name. This is absolutely not a unique case. I give a lot of time to correct the import errors.... I can understand this is a lot of work, and I appreciate the efforts, but I'm a developer too, and seeing the way the DB is built and how the games are recognized. Sorry, I just don't get it... ROMs have their own CR32 Hash or whatever Hash you want, why don't you use them ? Steam games have IDs, why are they not in your database, and why don't you use them ? Same logic for GOG or Epic... or others who could be implemented so easily, and especially without any error. -
No, no other instance, but I remember now : It's since the implementation of the new System Tray option, I don't use it personally. See my options in attachment.

I'm just starting the LaunchBox app, on Window 10, the "loading screen" with the "progress bar" appears, then at the end of the progress bar, the screen is closed, then I wait for the "start screen" from the app to appear, and sometimes it just doesn't appear. So after 1 minutes or 2 I reclick on the Icon shortcut to start the app again (the "loading screen" with the "progress bar" appears again, I have no message saying me that an instance of the app is still running). And generally on the second try it works, the max was on the 3rd attempt. It can work on the first try, too. I can also say that this bug appeared for me since the 11.15 version (Don't remember for sure, if it was after the reinstallation of it, since the 11.16 beta 1 was bugged, but I think it was clearly before).

I have the same problem, and it's random. Sometimes the starting "popup screen" with the "progress bar" ends, and the application is not loaded. There is no message error. Restarting the application works, sometime, sometimes not. It's unstable.

They are already accessible, they appear in the games details, same for RetroAchievements. So the logic can be : if a steam game have achievements in game details, just show a badge. Honestly, I don't see why RetroAchievments and Steam badges are not a part of the official release, it's just a boolean condition... the logic is already there. I will try to see what I can do on BitBucket, or eventually code it myself as a plugin. -

I try to find a way to make a Steam badge, for games who have achievements, but can't find a way. Do you have any idea ? -
