There's a small list in this thread also

I don't know why someone would do that unless theyre trolling.

[Good database for differences in Rom versions of games?]

Version numbers are usually just bug fixes or balance issue fixes.

If you look under Trivia and Updates it usually has some info on different clone versions.

Great thank you for the info!

Also make sure 'theme video' is at the top of the list in LB video priorities or you will only see video snaps (gameplay) if you have them.

[Need help to fix ghost shadows in retroarch shader]

22 hours ago, summerist.l said:

Hey guys, Im exploring shaders in Retroarch and the shader called 'newpixie-crt.slangp' emulates CRT screen almost perfectly. The only problem is that it creates sorta white 'ghost shadows' around bright parts. e.g. The bottom of the white ps logo, as the snapshot shown.

I have tuned all parameters of the shader but no luck. Anybody has an idea how to eliminate this defect?

 

I think you can only adjust that manually, What you'll need to do is find the .slangp file in the shader folder

then change the following 0.15 to 0.0

[Super Nintendo Platform Icon not showing up]

Are you 100% sure it's named correctly, have you tried rewriting the platform title then copy pasting it to the icon incase there's an extra space somewhere?

Hi, when miss a cover, there is an automatic way for associate this to a cover of platform related? 

Maybe i check this on a YouTube channel but i don't remember. 

Thanks. 

right click on platform>edit

 

[Easy way to add manuals]

If they're named correctly you can just drop them into a platform folder inside the manuals folder.

If they're named similarly you can try a program named Fatmatch to rename them as your romset.

[Creating Screen Captures with built in Windows Tools]

If you go into Settings>keyboard you can have Print Screen open snipping.

[13.2 Beta Thread]

When auditing clicking on an image column eg box 3d shows all images from the group, box 3d, box front , ad front etc.

Is this intended behaviour?

Sorting isnt working in the ready to import window

[Double trouble with Switch]

The square image isn't fake it's from the digital release on the nintendo website. A lot of physical boxes release after digital. I don't know why images aren't downloading for you.

[Launchbox auto installs RetroArch cores]

Updating RetroArch through the LB menu, is that not what you're talking about?

Absolutely awful. Granted, I'm sure the cores don't take up really any space, but it's obnoxious having to scroll through a list of 100 emulators I won't use for the 3 I will.

i agree and don't use the feature because of that.

That's just how it works unfortunately.

[Unified Redux]

I think what you're seeing in Bigbox is the new 3D box, which is made from box_front, box_back and box_spine artwork. You need to look in  options and turn those off to see the old 3D boxes like in Launchbox.  (see post below)

[Images downloaded based on criteria]

Im pretty certain Emumovies is the culprit, it's happened to me before. I usually only use Emu as a backup now if things are missing as you're often scraping the same images anyway.
