    Looks interesting, will check it out. Does this only work on Xenia Edge or also regular Xenia / Netplay?

    It doesn't look like they have that feature implemented [directly] yet (unless I missed it in my quick search).

     

    But if you're feeling creative, there is a way. But may not be for the faint of heart.

    You'd need to create a batch file or AHK script (or even PowerShell if that's your flavor of choice) that will edit dolphin.ini and change the path on the line GBPlayerRom = to the ROM you're wanting to play. Save and close then launch the emulator as normal with the -b -e parameters and point to your Game Boy Player.iso file.

    This (editing the ini file) might be able to be done as an Additional App set to run Before the main application.  Then having LaunchBox start Dolphin, loading the GBP iso file.

    But it may be easier add a new emulator (pointing to the batch file or AHK script), where you pass the full path to the ROM to it and using that to edit the ini file, then starting/running Dolphin with the iso.

    The problem is "solved" insofar as the libretro core has added suppor as well via subsystem. So that works:

    --subsystem GBP %romfile% "M:\LaunchBox\Emulators\RetroArch\RetroArch\system\dolphin-emu\Game Boy Player Start-Up Disc (USA) (Rev 3).rvz"

    Great stuff! 😃

    What's your MSDOS game setup in Launchbox?

    eXo is the way to go. I just WISH it were easier to use his collection with RetroArch, so we could use proper shaders and bezels.

    I know you could technically just point dosboxpure to the zip files, but that way you lose all the custom configuration for games that eXo made.

    It's not impossible to do it properly, but it's a bit hacky.

    Workaround for LB Stuck on "Refreshing Local Metadata" Loop when Importing/Adding

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted · Edited by SiriusVI

    @JoeViking245

    I have some new info on this issue. Take a look at this log excerpt. What seems what causes the metadata update to be hanging at "Applying Metadata", is the fact that Launchbox wants to randomly "save" some of my platforms. This has been happening sometimes when closing Launchbox, too, resulting in the closing process to take very long as well.

    This is not to be confused with Launchbox creating a backup of the Data folder. It's a separate process that saves the platform xml files. Do you know why this is happening? I haven't changed anything in the platforms that Launchbox saves here:

    And many many more


    Again, nothing was changed in these platforms, so to me it makes no sense that Launchbox would be saving anything. Any Idea what's happening?


    EDIT: I left the process running. Launchbox seems to have saved a considerable number of my platforms (though by nno means all of them). The process is now finnished after roughly 1 hour. Now the the "apply metadata" bar is gonne as well.

    When I did some testing yesterday with an Arcade full set of 22,409 games, the Searching EmuMovies for Arcade Full Set media... took 14-minutes.  Then it was able to start Downloading xxx of yyyy media items.

    After 48 minutes of 'good' downloading, it encountered what I presume to be the + sign issue. At this point it would start the Searching... again for 14-15 minutes. Then do some more downloading and continue the cycle.  Each time it 'cycles', yyyy would increment (in my test) by about 2500.

     

    Pretty sure it's on the LB side and I will talk with our developers early this coming work week about it.  (Monday? Tuesday? Wednesday (hopefully, at the latest)

    Awesome! Great to see that we could confirm this annoying bug =). Thanks for all your help!

    That was it! IPv6 was actually disabled on my active Ethernet adapter as well.

    I enabled “Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)” again, and now both the EmuMovies website and LaunchBox syncing are working normally without a VPN.

    I honestly have no idea why IPv6 was disabled in the first place, as I didn’t change anything there myself.

    Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction — I really appreciate it!

    Wow, what are the odds this exact same fringe bug happens to two different people from Germany on the same day. Do you use NordVPN as well? Or could this have been a Windows update issue? I'm at al loss. If anyone knows, please tell us.

    But this is a different issue from the one I've been having.

    "at the moment"?  So it's still going?

    So now I have cancelled my download, selected all games again, and then tried only downloading floppy, music, manuals, video snaps and video themes, now emumovies is stuck again:

    image.thumb.png.944b3f91bb83ca02b59d1865d803c836.png

    I cancelled the download and selected my 1000 games excludig the ones with + in the title, downloading floppy, music, manuals, video snaps and video themes. This seems to have worked (emumovies didn't download anything, beacuse all media files were present, I think (I hope).

    So the next test ist really interesting and connfirms, I believe, your theory about the + games:

    This is the 6 games in my SNES library selected downloading floppy, music, manuals, video snaps and video themes.

    image.thumb.png.f5ecccb5cac9e791a46e4f76c7bbf9f0.png

    As you can see, it wants to download over 60.000 files and the number is rising:

    image.thumb.png.b98a32d341670a8e8b9be5b8baf2bf2c.png

    Holy smokes, what's going on here? 

    Anyway THANK you so much for pointing me in the right direction. There are certain ways for me to bypass this issue for now. Is this a bug that can be fixed with a Launchbox update or is this something that should be reported to emumovies?

    Quick update: I tested it with a VPN using a US server, and everything works normally that way.

    The EmuMovies website loads correctly and LaunchBox syncing/downloading from EmuMovies works as expected.

    As soon as I use my normal connection from Germany, the website starts acting up again and LaunchBox has trouble connecting to EmuMovies. Direct FTP access still works fine.

    So this looks like it could be some kind of regional routing/CDN issue rather than a LaunchBox or account issue.

    This is so weird, I had the same issue before (also located in Germany). This might just be a coincidence, but just in case, for me the problem was that in my Ethernet settings, for some weird reason I cannot explain, "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)" got disabled (unnticked). I have NO idea whatsoever why this happened. The only thing I can imagine is a bug with my VPN. I'm using Nord.

    image.thumb.png.adc345ad84cbb1f22d4c97d6d2cccf9f.png

    I had to re-ennable it and then the Emumovies website worked again.

    This happened only today, so this was not the reason for emumovies to act up, since that has been happened all week.

    "at the moment"?  So it's still going?

    Yes, and it is going on still. Just to test I've selected to download all media from Emumovies, not just videos. I have selected "Yes, but do not replace any existing fields or media (recommended)", but apparently, there is still much to be downloaded. This takes hours to finish, maybe more than a whole day. But at least it IS steadily downloading without the previously mentioned interruptions, that occured.

    See here, this is the current state of the download that started roghly 1.5 hours ago:

    image.thumb.png.d239eb95870661be010587e4a3c13027.png

    I imagine if I just updated manuals and videos it would go much faster. That's the next thing I am going to test. I'll interrupt the download now..

    Did those games with + in the title find/download any EmuMovies assets?   

    If so, makes me wonder if it's an isolated SNES thing then. 

    If not, ...then it still may be the issue.  Where it finds the game on there, but when downloading the assets it freaks out.

    So I just tried to update roughly 1000 SNES roms excluding the one swith a + in the title. This went through fine. So then I wanted to try the whole set again, expecting emumovies to act up again. But no, It's downloading at the moment and eveything seems to be fine.

    God knows what's happening here.

    I think it might be the + sign in the name.  Sugoro Quest++: Dicenics might be another game that'll cause issues.

     

    Do you not have those games in their single form?  e.g. Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario World
    Or are you being a hoarder?  ;) 

    image.png

    Well, I guess I am a little bit of a hoarder, but not the worst kind, I swear. I don't keep EVERYTHING =). The reason I keep these roms is that I consider them separate releases. My approach to 1g1r is to have 1 rom of each cartridge that was released. So, since there was Super Mario All-Stars, Super Mario World and Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World, I'll keep all 3.

    OK, I'll give this a shot, but I still don't quite get why a few games with "+" in their names would hold up the entire scraping process. And also why this issue does not happen when replacing all metadata and media.

    By process of elimination, I think what may be happening is (at least for SNES):
    My guess... Dragon, you don't have any of those 'double games'.  Sirius, you do.

    Examples:

    • Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World
    • Exertainment Mountain Bike Rally + Speed Racer
    • Super Tetris 2 + Bombliss Genteiban
    • Super Tetris 2 + Bombliss

    The fix, delete these games you'll never play [using these particular ROMs]. B|

    Hey, thank you so much for suggesting a solution. I will try this tomorrow.

    But to be honest, I have no idea why these double games would cause such a weird issue. Could you explain why they cause this problem?

    Also, I really want to keep these games (I can always reimport them, I know.)

    Platform videos not playing in Launchbox

    Hey all,

    I don't know since when this is happening, but I am on the latest Launchbox version and when clicking on a platform, the platform video used to play on the right hand side of the default theme, but it doesn't anymore.

    This happens with both VLC and WMP options.

    The videos for individual games play fine. The platform videos in BigBox also play like they are supposed to.

    Does anyone know what's going on here?

    I've beenn trying again and again these last few days, and the issue persists. Can someone check if they see the same behavior? To reproduce:

    1. Select a fairly large set of roms (around 2000), that have artwork scraped.

    2. Tools --> downoad --> update metadata and media --> Choose scraping from emumovies (scraping from LB database can be skipped, since this works fine). I found that the video downloads work for some reason, so choose something other than that, like Manuals or Screenshots.

    3. select "Yes, but do not replace any existing fields or media (recommended)".

    Please report back if you experience the same issue as me 😃

    EDIT:

    This is part of my most recennt log by the way:

    Dolphin Game Boy Player via command line?

    in Emulation

    Posted

    Hey everybody,

    Since Dolphin Emulator now supports the Game Boy Player, I was wondering if there is ay way to automate launching GB/GBC/GBA games via commannd line. The way this works "manually" is to open Dolphin settings, choosing a rom file for the Game Boy Slot and then launchig the Game Boy Player .iso. GB/GBC/GBA games need to be changed mannually every time one wants to change the game.

    Also, does anyone knnow if the libretro core already includes this feature?

    Thank you!

    LaunchBox was unable to update the Games Database Metadata

    Aside from than that, just did a Force Download here without issue.

    Just tried it again and now the update went through. Haven't changed anything. 

    LaunchBox was unable to update the Games Database Metadata

    Hey all,

    I've been getting this error repeatedly just now when forcing to update the metadata. It used to work perfectly yesterday:

    image.thumb.png.ec74bfdf5c728f2aefc8742ddbc364b5.png

     

    Is this a problem on my end or is anyone else having issues updating metadata? I tried deleting the metadata folder and reinstallinng Launchbox (even on a different drive), but I keep gettinng this error.

    This is what the log says on the matter:

    Updating media from Emumovies takes forever

    What you are seeing is often related to the api server for emumovies having issues. Have you checked on their forums for any related post? You can also use their EmuMovies Sync tool to check for related issues so you can at least know where the issue lies.

    I'm not so sure. If it were an api server issue, then the issue would also occur when importing a fresh set of roms. I believe that the issue is that Emumovies tries to find out if a file already exists before downloading and that process just isn't optimized. But that's just a guess. I really don't know what's going on.

    Updating media from Emumovies takes forever

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted · Edited by SiriusVI

    Hey there,

    I wanted to use some of my days off to update metadata and media from some of my platforms and I encountered a weird issue with emumovies:

    Basically, when selecting games inn my platform (e.g. SNES) and choosing "Yes, but do not replace any existing fields or media (recommended)", emumovies takes a very lonng time to seach for and download new media files. I'm talking about leaving the PC on over night and in the morning it's not finished.

    It's roughly 1.700 games, and I'm only updating Manuals, Music and Video files, so nothing crazy. The problem is only with emumovies, the media from LB Database is downloaded very quickly.

    image.thumb.png.777bc40e86e0014ee7db7dcdc13e33a5.png

    When deleting the platform and reimporting the games, or when choosing to replace all metadata and media, then this bug does NOT occur. It's only there when trying to update and choosing "Yes, but do not replace any existing fields or media (recommended)".

    What's I'm seeing on the progress bar on the top of Lauchbox is that emumovies keeps searching for files, then downloads a few (1-3 files) and then searches again. This process keeps repeating, making the whole process take unbearably long.

    image.thumb.png.c6de74e3757f3deee83ce1bfdec164ce.png

    Any idea why this is happening?

    Workaround for LB Stuck on "Refreshing Local Metadata" Loop when Importing/Adding

    in Troubleshooting

    That seems odd. Because the Applying Metadata happens after Updating ('refreshing') the local metadata [file].

    e.g. When using Tools < Download < Update Metadata and Media for All Games... (or "for selected games"), I see it doing

    • Downloading
    • Extracting
    • Verifying
    • Applying

    Where the 1st 3 only occur the 1st time on a given day when running this (or when doing a Force Update).  aka, updates at 24 hour(-ish) intervals.

     

    Also, you indicate it [only?] gets stuck applying metadata when importing certain ROM files. Grasping at straws, my guess is those ROMs being imported have a naming convention that is not typical for the platform and attempts to find an exact match for the game(s) is causing a 'hiccup'.  However, this speculation doesn't explain why, when doing a Force Update 1st then applying the metadata, doesn't have this problem with those ROMs.

    Hopefully Admin will see this and chime in at some point.

    Hmm, it's just a set of No Intro SNES roms that are imported, but I wanted to update the metadata and media. It was a fresh Launchbox install, too. I don't know why this is happening. To be honest, I didn't try it again after it failed. For now I just force the metadata update first. I'll try it with another set and report back if it still hangs. Maybe it was a one-time bug. Who knows.

    COLORFUL Big Box Theme - Some additions (august 2026)

    There were rumours of a V3 a couple of years ago but I guess we won't see this happening soon. I tried to edit the CTC files with the latest version of CTC but basic things like platform device images into videos are broken.

    I remember, is this this update still happening eventually? As it stands, Colorful is not really usable for me. Te whole appeal of this theme is it's simle and consistent style. If there are too many inconsistencies, the theme loses its appeal and I'd rather use another preset where it's not so bad if there is a certain variation in how platforms appear visually.
