I would prefer to keep PS1 at original 4:3 ratio with bezels. Anyone have an idea about the script? This is pretty much the last loose end I'm looking to fix. Like to get this issue resolved. Trying to make a copy for my friend for over 40 years for a Xmas gift. Thanks

OK so I'm almost positive this was working before. Now when I try to close the game it stays open. I am using this script: $ESC:: { WinClose, ahk_exe RocketLauncher.exe } Other systems that use Rocketlauncher close fine. It also closes outside of LB in rocketlauncher. I'm using RL for bezel support because the RA cores are terrible. I'm using the duckstation emulator through RL.

Hide mouse cursor when not in use is checked. I'll have to get back to you and find out what system was showing the mouse. Thank

I couldn't find this option in bigbox.

Yes it takes about 30 seconds for Daphne to eventually close outside of Launchbox. Has nothing to do with this front-end.

That did the trick. Just a few more questions but not related to this topic. Just trying to fix a few loose ends. It's about hiding the mouse pointer when not active and my Daphne freezes when I try to exit game (esc). update: So when I esc from daphne the screen freezes and you can hear the audio and then it eventually closes. Takes like 30 seconds. I don't remember it doing this in the past. as for hiding the mouse pointer I just used a 3rd party software.

Well I got it working. I think it was the whole time. It threw me off when I didn't see some games in the playlist. What happens is when you save games as favorites it removes the games from the play list alphabetical order and places them in favorites. I wish they would just leave them in the play list like LB does instead of bunching them in a group. Should still stay in the alphabetical list and also be in the favs section.

Thanks for the reply. Working now I'll check and get back to you. Top of my head there should be 7 1941 to 19xx. Something like that. Launchbox shows 7 and bigbox 5.

OK I have seen and read about this issue in the past on the forum here. I made sure my global and even settings for that specified theme had the check marks show hidden games but still doesn't show.

Done.

Yes but as we can see it's not importing the preliminary games for mame which are marked working in official MAME.

That's what I've been doing but it's a long process going alphabetical order. How about adding a preliminary check box when importing? I mean there's an option for hacked games.

Could we add a check box to import preliminary games in future launchbox builds?

Well I use mame exe but say using arcade64 it's marked yellow. Not sure about mameui.

Thanks I'm just trying to wrap my head around this and importing process lol. Yes I use the full mame import tool when I upgrade my MAME to the newest versions.

Launcbox didn't import these roms either when choosing USA region kov and kovplus. Both are parent roms and marked working. Because of being preliminary? How about change the way it imports. It's either marked working or not. Not in between. Just how MAME does it.

So my question is why do other games marked preliminary get imported? Who decides this MAME or the Launcbox database?

Another example: Ironman Ivan Stewart's Super Off-Road . Has two different parent roms but merges them together. offroad and offroadt are merged but are parent roms.

OK just came across a game not imported with same name. Inferno minferno and inferno. The inferno was not imported and is marked with with issues but playable. It should be imported like other games marked the same way. Think I had it reversed but either way only one is imported. I had to fool LB when importing minferno choosing another emulator besides MAME or it doesn't import. Then go back and change it back to MAME.

Seems like choosing world as region leans more towards MAME parent roms.

I keep skip games unplayable checked. both black hole games work (blackhol). This is marked with issues but payable. Many games are marked like this and still get imported. Also what about other question when I import by region USA and go back to some games and change the rom to launch. When I update MAME and import again do I have to manually change these games again if not using the USA roms? Or will it keep my settings for those roms? Example if imported under USA region. Game like B rap boys will make the USA version (brapboyspu) by default. If I change it to (brapboys) as default and update MAME and import again will it remember to keep that setting?

D-day ddayjlc and dday Off the wall has two different games. Would scrape games incorrectly. Had to go back and pick the correct one from drop down menu when importing artwork. Cannon ball has 2 different games. Had to fix correct artwork in drop menu metadata Commando has 2 different games. Had to fix correct artwork in drop menu metadata Argus 2 different games. Same as above with artwork. Tetris didn't import all. It would combine some as clones. Black Hole has 2 different games. I believe only one was imported Freeze has 2 different games. Same as above with artwork There is more but you get the idea. I can't recall games that were not imported. Was just a couple.

Oh one more thing. Since launchbox doesn't use the parent import but goes by region. I do USA. Now sometimes I go back and change certain games back to the parent. When I update mame again and choose USA import will it change the ones back that I did before?

Not home now but some games have the same name and are completely different. Parent roms. Sometimes it will merge thinking it's a clone or not even import it. Also some don't even imported at all. I'll try and give a example later. As for importing I only uncheck prototype adult and a few others. Shouldn't block the specific games that were not imported. . Off topic but launchbox still imports gambling games like slots even though that is checked.
