As stated.... NO it won't... If you'd do what was asked you'd already see this in action. As previously stated Region is a single string field NOT multi-string. Equal To checks the entire string is equal to the criteria. If the game's region is "North America, Europe" (without quotes) and you utilize the playlist filter: Region - Is Equal To - North America, then the game is NOT picked up. It WOULD be if you had Region - Contains - North America. All you need for any of the playlists you've mentioned thus far is the equal to comparison. For the 4th you'd just have all three filters in so that LB uses it's OR comparisons: Region - Is Equal To - North America Region - Is Equal To - Europe Region - Is Equal To - Japan Doing so would grab all games who's region is EXACTLY one of those 3 values and NOT include games that have region strings similar to "North America, Europe" (without quotes).

I just explained steps on how you can effectively have it now. No need for hope, just need to press a few buttons in the app.

Sounds like you may be using CTC in which case you'll need to ask in whatever support channels that app now has. CTC isn't built or maintained by us and so we can't really help you use it.

There is typically two error logs one that shows the data you've shown and the other with an actual error message. Sounds like this may not be a .NET exception being raised so that MAY not be true but worth checking as the other log generally has much more information. It sounds like there may be some issue with the Windows instance since the DLL is an OS dll. I'd suggest opening command prompt as admin and type the following "svc /scannow" (without quotes) and let that run and see if it identifies any issues with your system files.

Region - Is Equal To - {Region Value} Region is a single string field so you just check that the value is exactly equal to what you want it to be and it checks the entire value instead of checking each value in it like multi-value fields do (like genre and series)

LaunchBox is a front end NOT an emulator. You don't actually play games via LaunchBox, it simply opens the app that does. That being said we can download emulators for you for most platforms during our import process, as well as set up basic command line that makes them largely "just work". You MAY need to swap some options around to play nice with how you want things, but that should be about the extent of what is required from you. That being said you need to supply your own ROMs for emulated platforms, we (nor anyone in the community) can't tell you where to get them or give theirs to you as that is illegal in most countries (including the one we operate out of). I'm sure finding ways of grabbing "fullsets" from various "archives" exist, but we can't help facilitate that.

Yeah as some one that manually has to touch every game in their collection for a variety of tweaks I understand the desire to make your collection "yours". I've not run into a scenario where the next/prev thing would really help save much time since I have to typically search for something in another window anyway, but you definitely aren't the first that has brought the request forward. I'm unsure if it's been added to the new feedback site so I'd definitely check there and add it if not.

Post was from two years ago, we don't even utilize the same type of file (or code) to grab the data so I'm doubtful there is any 1:1 correlation. Can you give specific steps on what you're doing and what outcome you're seeing vs what you'd expect to see?

This issue is corrected in 13.21. You can opt in to the beta of said release inside of LB options window in the Updates section if you want to get a sneak preview at the build. The current beta should be almost exactly the same as the release will be so there should be very little risk opting in for this one. If you do and DON'T want beta updates after this one make sure to go back into options and shut it off after getting the update.

LB is portable. Your various instances won't talk to each other at all. All paths are saved as relative paths when possible as well. No data is shared between installs so yes you'd need to import games/media separately for each install. It IS possible to copy/paste files from one install to the other but you may need to tweak paths for your games/emulators after doing so since the path may not be the same due to the relative pathing.

Might I suggest a better workflow? Go to Audit window and copy/paste the grid into a google sheet, delete all the columns that aren't title and then use that when naming the images. Then do your work with the images and manually drag them to the appropriate file. The amount of LB UI interaction required because almost none in comparison. I believe you can also copy/paste from List view if that is easier.

Currently there is no appropriate field to do this in our database. I'd suggest opening a feature request for such a thing on https://feedback.launchbox.gg/

Hello all, it's that time once again. All strings should be added for 13.21 and ready for translations. Once again, thanks everyone for all your hard work, time, and devotion to doing this for us and the LB Community! @Opak @Kondorito @Cauptain @Nyny77 @dukeemu @cyanjiang @Just001Kim @MajKSA @gamehacker @alexposad @k_kutsugi @Bardock @Soomin papa @thewhite

Yeah, the beta version of the next update has several corrections in it to help with attract mode stability. We have at least one more beta version to put out before we can confidently push out the full version, but the full version I'd assume would be out in a week or two.

Works on any game that has that field set to the value you're looking for. That field is only auto-updated for Storefront games though, you'd have to manually set the field on the others.

Intel GPU's have a known issue rendering WPF related to their anti-alias logic. In the Intel Graphics control panel there is a setting where you can either enable or disable aliasing for an application. By default the value is "detect" or "handle automatically" or something like that. You need to set that drop down to either Enable OR Disable. The value you pick really doesn't matter and either will work. For some reason that auto-detect feature makes it so entire chunks of elements don't render correctly though like you are seeing.

I don't believe we have a way of filtering down to files that are unavailable (files are missing). Would be a good thing to submit a feature request for though!

Most of the time we here this it's because an overzealous AV has quarantined a required file. Please verify this hasn't happened. You can also look in Windows Event Viewer's application logs for a .NET Runtime Error error log. There could be one in there that says LaunchBox crashed, along with a second log entry that has the actual error and stack trace saying why.

Thanks was able to track down the cause and it'll be corrected in 13.21 release. Once that's out I'll push a theme update which solves @hkr's issue as well as some visibility binding errors related to MAME high scores.

Yeah, you can do this. The issue is related to WPF trying to decide if needs to display the scrollbar or not and this forces it to always do so which eliminates that.

Was able to replicate this thanks to your video and pin point the cause. Unfortunately override logos for Platforms and Playlists and dumping into the wrong folder. If you want to use this functionality between now and when the correction is released you can manually place the images in the appropriate folder: For Playlists: \\LaunchBox\Images\Media Packs\Overrides\Platform Clear Logos\Playlists For Platforms: \\LaunchBox\Images\Media Packs\Overrides\Platform Clear Logos\Platforms

Thanks for this, we'll take a look.

Yeah, that functionality is all built in and should be working. What aren't you seeing work?
