C-Beats

13.23 Beta 1 was compiled with an older runtime to avoid the known issue causing launching from network location to fail. If some of you reporting the issue could grab the beta and install it and confirm it's once again working that'd be great.

Select the games you want to hide and press Ctrl+E, then in the Bulk Edit wizard set the Hidden flag to true (check the checkbox) and continue in the wizard. If you select a single game you get Edit Game window then just check the Hide flag on the first page

This beta uses an older .NET runtime (9.0.5) which should also correct the issue of not being able to use LaunchBox from a networked drive. We'll update the changelog in the next beta to reflect this but would appreciate if some one who was having this issue in 13.22 could chime in and verify it's resolved in this beta.

Depends on what window you're in. If you're in the Download Metadata and Media wizard then selecting multiple qualities will only grab the highest quality available. This is because until we start scanning each item we don't really know what is there and so just grab you the best of the ones you selected. If you're downloading from the Add/Edit Game window that is scanned already FOR that game and we're saying they DEFINATELY have all of these and so we will grab each one you pick. Whatever you had checked last import should be checked in the next one. There is no way to apply any other logic to those being checked by default.

I've put code in to help with this as we've seen several reports of it. Code change should be in the first beta round of 13.33. Not sure why you think you can't upgrade on Win10 though. I personally run Win10 on my devices so I know you can definitely do it.

Yeah, pretty sure that was corrected in the 13.22 installer

You can hide things from Big Box via the Edit window. To have a platform not appear in the list you can hide all it's games.

Yeah, could be your not on the same theme. The videos you're talking about are "Theme Videos". If you recently upgraded from an older version you may want to open Options inside of LaunchBox and check your "Video Priorities" and make sure Theme Video is on top, without it set up that way you'll just have normal gameplay videos by default being used.

Already in app. Just set make sure the hidden check box is check. Then in the View settings make sure you're not showing hidden games Yeah, this was done because it's possible whatever filter(s) you have selected may not exist when you change side bar filter and so it clears to get all the new values.

Can already Show/Hide Games in both apps independently. Have to be more specific if you mean something else. Have to be more specific. You could be talking a whole host of things with that generic of a statement. Should you be willing to take the time to form a complete articulate request there is a link to request a feature at the top of this page under Help & Support. That being said if you're just going to give a vague 5 word request save everyone's time and wait until you have the willingness and ability to articulate something a bit more substantive that the community would understand and could vote for, and the devs would understand and potentially implement.

Meh, didn't want to answer the follow up questions about how to do it as answering would take more time than it did for me to make the plugin outright. Attached is a plugin with the logic mentioned. It'll set the sort title of any game that doesn't have a sort title set already to be the exact same as the title of the game which will make the games sort the way you want. Just extract the dll file into the \\LaunchBox\Plugins folder (NOT in any subfolder) with LB closed. When you open it again you'll have a new option at the bottom of the Tools menu that says "Set Sort Title Equal To Title". Press that and you're done. I'd recommend creating a backup before you do it incase you change your mind though. LB_SortTitleInject.zip

Alternatively could ask around and see if some one could write a plugin that just sets the sort title equal to the game title. Whole plugin would take 5m to write and is only like 10 lines of actual code (if that) to do really well. Then just push a button and all games that don't have a sort title already set it could just set it to the actual title and then solve your problem. I've seen the community tackle far more complex tasks for odder requests.

We grab RetroArch FROM the RetroArch download site so we grab official versions of the emulator. I can't speak to the online update bit but make sure you don't have the newest feature of inject RetroAchievements into your RetroArch, or at the very least make sure hardcore mode is shut off. Hardcore mode disables and removes a lot of options from the UI like FF/Slow Down, Save/Load States, Cheats, etc.

Because sorting with THE (or any other article) being left in the start of the word and actually used in the sort logic isn't the standard way of sorting anywhere that I'm aware of so we built the program to follow common accepted sort logic, and gave the option to other uses that they can do their own thing with it if they wanted.

Just tried and seems to be working for me (that being said it was down for a while yesterday)

EmuMovies API does seem to be done again @circo. Thanks to all those reporting it.

Thanks again @JamesAndersonJr both corrections made. Won't show up in app until tomorrow though since the DB build process has already happened for today.

WHOA WHOA WHOA! Why is my name listed SECOND!? C-Beats and LaunchRetroGirl just rolls off the tongue SO much better! ;D

When importing make sure the "Combine similar ROMs" (or something similar, the only one that says combine lol) is checked and this will be done automatically. If you don't have this and later want to combine games just select each game you want to stack together, then right click and select "Combine Games". It'll ask you in a pop up which should be the primary, just pick the one you want then press ok.

What the heck am I!? Chopped liver!?

Turn off the automatic imports (Tools > Manage > Storefronts) and then save and close LaunchBox. Delete the \\LaunchBox\Images folder and then go into \\LaunchBox\Data\ and delete everything EXCEPT Settings.xml. Should give ya what you're wanting.

I'm not involved in Android development at all, if I remember right though yes they were able to replicate it hence the code change.

Add x:Name="ReleaseYear" onto the border at line 2107 Then add the following after the closing TextBlock tag (</TextBlock>) on line 2169 (put your cursor after the '>' sign press enter and put the following code on a new line) <flow:FlowBadge Margin="{Binding Converter={StaticResource ScaleConverter}, ConverterParameter='30,0,0,0'}" BadgeName="Achievements" DataContext="{Binding ActiveItem}" Height="{Binding ElementName=ReleaseYear, Path=ActualHeight}" /> Can adjust the margin how you see fit. Just remember you can't actually change default theme since we overwrite it on startup. Have to copy default to a new folder, name the copy folder, then make the change to the files in that folder. Then in BB change to THAT theme.

No need. If you stick you cursor just under where the play button is and before the grid images start to appear there is an invisible slider there. You'll know you hit it when the cursor changes look. When it changes hold down the left mouse button and drag up or down to resize.
