Primary folders to consider saving are: Data (contains information on all library data, in your case it sounds like this ISN'T needed since you want to start over) Images (is the default path for all images stored in the app. I'd delete any subfolder starting with the word "cache" before moving over. Also run Cleanup Media tool after you re-import your platforms) Videos (same as above but for videos) Emulators (only if you installed portable emulators to this folder and don't want to lose your configurations) Games (only if you moved ROMs to this folder) LBThemes (any LB themes you want to use in the new build) Themes (and BB themes you want to use in the new build)

Yeah, was hoping that a scrape as was missing. Not sure how you're seeing what you are given we look explicitly for eboot.bin files. I assume the Import wizard you're showing is after pressing the "Scan for Added Games" and not a manual import?

You didn't make a copy of the Windows.xml file and leave it in that folder by chance did you? The issues you're running into sounds like the type of issue that occurs when there is a backup/copy file in the data folder. If there is you need to move it out of the folder and then try again.

You can just copy the platform file from \\LaunchBox\Data\Platforms from one build to another. Then copy the image folder from one build to another (\\LaunchBox\Images\Comics). Do this with LaunchBox closed. Then start it up.

It's possible that metadata WAS changed by clicking on a game. For example if you have achievements enabled in GameDetails it scans for achievements and saves your progress stats to the game. I believe we verify the stat actually changed before marking the game modified but I'd have to look at the code and confirm (not at my dev machine atm).

ID should be a GUID, not a string. I'd start by changing that. Outside of the fact that you're also missing the application path required to actually launch these games that's the only thing that immediately stood out as wrong.

Can you show the XML you're trying to push in that isn't working? Also you ARE doing this with LaunchBox COMPLETELY closed correct? There is no lingering process in Task Manager when doing this?

Uncheck the "Check for missing cores" box during import.

Can you go to Tools > Manage > Platforms. Select your Vita platform and press edit, and then post a screenshot of that first details page.

Update your DB file and this will go away. Tools > Download > Force update local games database. Should resolve the error you were seeing as well @Clutz450

Almost always happens because you have files in your \\LaunchBox\Data\Platforms folder that don't belong there. Typically are backup files or copy files. That is also where the data for platforms is saved and you can nuke a platform by deleting it's file (with LaunchBox closed).

Looks like you have mismatched files. Run the 13.11 installer over your current build (it won't erase anything). Make sure when running the installer you point to the root LaunchBox folder and not a LaunchBox folder IN your root folder (\\LaunchBox\LaunchBox). Then try to update to a newer version.

Any "duplication" error is pretty much exclusively caused by having files in your data folder that don't belong (as @Moleburt discovered).

First off, it sounds like you're attempting to do what our LEDBlinky integration/app already does. I'd look into that app first and see if it does what you are looking to do. I've not used it much but the end goal you described sounds exactly like what that app already does. Secondly, the BigBoxThemeElement interface needs implemented on a custom WPF theme control that gets added into the view of the theme you are using. If the control isn't in the theme you won't hit those break points.

Nope, still exists. Not sure how you came to this conclusion.

This could be related to the theme (or theme version) you are using. The first screenshot looks like you're using Beats or one of my other themes. All of them should be up-to-date in the LB Themes Manager. You can use that to update your theme and see if that corrects. If not it'd be best to post on that theme's support thread (can easily access it via the theme manager) and ask there.

The error you were seeing was related to a bad change in the Games Database. I've manually corrected it and am rebuilding the XML files. To correct on your end do the following: Open LaunchBox Do NOT select a game Go Tools > Download > Force Download Games Database (may not be the exact string) Let it run and then you should be good to run like normal

As long as Vita3k is setup as an emulator and you have installed the games to Vita's hard drive it should auto-detect them.

If you're a premium user you can copy the theme you're using and then remove those sections from that view.

Literally every time I see this reported it's because a user has extra files in their data folder that do not belong there. Typically it's because a user has used Skraper who's default settings create backup files in the data folder that do not belong.

Select the "Tools" menu at the top of the window, then mouse over File Management, and then in there there is the tool that changes rom paths

Tools > File Management has a way of changing file paths for already imported games. Select all the ones that you want to modify and then select that menu option to change which root folder those files are in.

Not entirely sure how best to help ya. Both those forms hit the third party API directly to get the success/fail that the test button does and so if it's failing typically it's either on the third party's end or the transmission between us and them.
