So just tried it from scratch, fresh install of launchbox, 2 week old windows installation and still happens. This is the paid for version also if this helps. I have tried turning firewalls off etc, still no luck. Is there an ini file to check the address or something?

Hi, whenever I try search for metadata for a game, via right click edit, I always get the "[ ERROR ] Could not connect to Wikipedia", launchbox database seems to connect but will always get the Wikipedia error. Can anyone give me any ideas on how to fix it please?. Thanks

Hi, I was installing launchbox on my old laptop and all was going well, when i realised I made a mistake and wanted to reinstall one of the systems (which I've done in the past many times with no issues). When I went to download the metadata for it, it keeps stopping at parsing at emumovies. When I test the connection it just says to "unable to login". I tried it with another system to test it and wont work. I have logged into the website so the login details are correct and even tried the emumovies sync utility which also connects, but launchbox just refuses. Has something gone wrong, can anyone assist? Thanks

Hi, I had a fully working launchbox and Big Box on my pc with over 27,000 games. I copied the exact same setup over to my laptop and got my 27,000 games, but decided to just make sure i have all the art so done the "downloading metadata and Media" option in order to check. It took a long time but for some reason my laptop only had about 100 errors whilst my PC had almost 2000 errors. I tried running it again on my PC and still got the same issue. Now my PC launchbox is only showing arounf 25,500 games. I tried reverting to older backups and it keeps showing 25,500 (approx) so just cant get it back to 27,000. Can someone help please?, what has happened to my games, especially since it works on my laptop and all of a sudden not on my PC and its the same setup copied over? I really dont want to start again after the hours and hours ive spent getting it to where it is. Thanks for any help.

Hi guys thanks for all you replies and srry for my late one. Im a lot more informed about it now and its a split set I have. It turned it it was a bad romset as I spent the last couple days aquiring another and it works now. Thanks again.

Ah I see, thanks so its possibly that I may be missing the BIOs files. So sorry to ask another noob questoin but how can I tell if I have amerged or split romset?, is it literally the roms inside are indiviual or in one big zip file?. Mine are all split in seperate files by the looks of it. Also how can I tell if I have the correct BIOS files if any?, as I have looked online but it seems to relate to older version which im not sure will help me or not.

Hi, just bought Big Box not long ago and am really pleased with how its all turned out. I have spent a really long time setting up the images and videos and still not half way thorugh!!. Anyway got nearly every emulator working apart from MAME (and Fairchild F but aparently that work through MAME?), a lot of the games work but there are so many many that don't and I can't figure out why. I followed the video tutorial and like I say it does work to an extent but want to make sure its not something im doing wrong. So im using MAME64 (tried both 0.202 and 0.205) standalone as described via the video and not the retroarch core. I also have a MAME romset 0.202. So what happens is that many games just say something along the lines of "the selected machine is missing one or more required rom or chd files". So for games like the 1940 series,, none of them work they all say the same thing. I found posts regarding QSOUND, but looked in the romset I have and its already in there along with QSOUND HLE. Ive tried different versions of MAME, tried starting it out of LAunchbox and directly from mame and have the same error. MAME has it in its workig category apparently. Could it be that they just don't work or am I actually missing something?. If anyone has a advice or guidance that would be great.
