    Sounds like you have some missing codecs you need to install to WMP. The LB installer should ask if you want to install K-Lite. Saying yes to that should grab em for you

    Region priority is almost exclusively used for selecting top priority rom path when importing multiple versions of a game at the same time (for the first time) in LaunchBox. During the combine process we use that list to decide which ROM should be the primary path. From there all downstream logic where possible we selected regionally accurate information for the primary version of the game, falling back to those priorities where it makes sense. The logic being at the time this was all written (well before I started) was that if you wanted French information just use the French version of the game. That being said only media/title can even use regional specifics since our DB is English only at the moment. Not trying to assign good/bad to the logic in question. Just informing you what the application is set to do currently as well as the headspace at the time it was implemented (as far as I understand it). If you'd like us to consider something else I'd submit a feature request for it. This one has come up in the past so there likely is one already you could simply upvote.

    Could be because it didn't have the Steam App ID associated with it. Tomorrow run the "Force Update Games Database" from the Tools > Download menu inside of LaunchBox and then try again and let me know if you still run into the issue.

    Game and Watch games are all included in MAME full set. Most of them start with "gnw_"

    Typically first step would be to check Windows Event Viewer and look for application error logs tied to LB. Usually there will be two, one will just say it crashed and the other will give an actual reason for it. First step outside of that is to run the installer over the directory again, ensure that the files that need to be there are.

    Deleted non-beta related posts. Keep on topic please. Feature requests belong on http://feedback.launchbox.gg not in the beta thread.

    More information about ""
    Forum UI doesn't really reflect it but if you push Download File there are several versions you then have to pick which one to download. Just grab the one you're searching for.

    I'd delete that record (the one in additional app window) and then run the EA import again. If it doesn't combine for some reason (it should if that option is selected) then try to combine it again.
  9. C-Beats
    Can you show the Additional Applications page of the game in question? Something like this:
  10. C-Beats
    Select them all (Hold CTRL while click on each one) and then right click one and press combine. A window shows up asking you which path you want to be primary. Select it and they'll be combined with the selected path as the primary one.
  11. C-Beats
    Yeah you can import from the appropriate storefront import instead of manually adding stuff to app paths EA paths don't look like that at all and GOG we have a hidden field we populate with the GOG App ID since you typically point them to the actual application (which is why we can let you choose to launch it with or without Galaxy). Badges take all of this into account to accurately display on the item. If you tried to launch the path you provided nothing would happen (well the OS may yell at you)

    There is no "automated" process other than copying files from old location to the new one so it just seemingly worked without manually messing with it so not entirely sure what part of this is the part you find troublesome outside of just getting used to using the new location. If you don't care about media packs and always want to use the same image fairly certain you just add an override logo to the platform/category/playlist via the Edit window.

    Apologies, I meant in Add/Edit Game window. On the left where the different pages are listed there is a "Launching" page. This shows the application path of the game. If the game is from Steam it's logic is a bit different when looking for a match and so removing it from there before doing it (and then putting it back after) can sometimes help with DB listings not coming up correctly.
  14. C-Beats
    Would also check your platform and make sure it has it's Scrape As value properly set to "Windows". Just noticed your platform isn't named to the GamesDB standard.
  15. C-Beats
    Yeah, did for me when manually adding a new game. You may want to go to the launching page and cut (CTRL+X) the value in it, then do the search again on the metadata page and paste the launch path back in after the search
  16. C-Beats
    First step would be to ensure you have the latest GamesDb definition. To do so go to Tools > Download > Force Download Games Database (not the exact label, but I don't recall what it is exactly. Pretty sure bottom most item). This will grab the latest DB file for you. Then try the search again and see if you can find it.

    For example my BioShock game I have versions from 3 diff storefronts

    Just enable both badges. If the game has an additional app from that store the badge appears as well so one game can show multiple storefront badges if you have the game from more than one.

    That gets put in there if we get an error from RAHasher attempting to hash the ROM and get us a value for it. You can try to remove that and save the file and try the scan again and see if it comes back like that or not. If it does we'd have to walk through and show ya how to run the executable directly to potentially get you a better answer as to what is going on.

    Editing the OP so you don't dox yourself and your API key, but this window shows the issue at hand. You only put the bit in the text box that comes AFTER the /id/ in your Stream URL (should be the same value in the text box on the steam page where you put the information. So in your case you would just put "cadet_stimpy" (without the quotes) not the entire URL.

    Again, I don't care about the Games DB ID. It has nothing to do with RetroAchievement functionality. Look for the field I specifically asked you to.
  23. C-Beats
    I can't remember which of the Sony systems it is but depending on what command was used to create the CHD (createcd vs createdvd) it can fail in RAHasher which would potentially be the reason we aren't identifying it. If you look in \\LaunchBox\Data\Platforms\Sony PSP.xml is there any "RetroAchievementHash" value assigned to the game in question?
  24. C-Beats
    We don't typically offer (or really want) all older versions of LB floating around simply because it makes supporting and troubleshooting a pain in the butt. If there is a specific reason you need any older versions of the app reach out to support@unbrokensoftware.com and state the reason you need an older version and they can get installers.
  25. C-Beats
    Also DB ID and RetroAchievements aren't connected. We search by the ROM Cheevo hash using their RA Hasher tool. You don't need to have a DB ID attached to detect RetroAchievements for a game.
