@sundogak I'll take a look tomorrow at what you have reported in 12.3 beta thread. I didn't want the report to get forgotten in that thread now that it's locked and made sure you know we saw the report.

Looks to me that your local GamesDB information is corrupted. Inside of LaunchBox go to the Tools Menu > Download > Force Update Games Database Metadata... and let that process run. Then you should be good to go.

Cool. Like I said this will be corrected in next version, but glad we found you a work around until then.

Can you just put random strings in Username and password in options and tell me if you still get that error?

Do you have an EmuMovies password set in options? The tool doesn't require an EmuMovies account, just trying to narrow down a possible cause. Though this should be resolved in beta (once it's out). That form is being updated from the old WinForm code to WPF. Just trying to see if we can get this resolved for you until then.

I haven't seen any reported issues of it not working, and used mine just the other day with no problem. What isn't working? It not finding games, you getting an error?

What happens when you start trying to download something? Do you get the error again or is something else happening?

You don't need Visual Studio to create a start up theme. You can make it with any text editor. You typically are only creating a single XAML file. If you want to do it in Visual Studio you can but you would have to make the file point to images on your drive directly to see them in preview. Then once you were done switch out the bindings to the ones LaunchBox uses before placing in LaunchBox's theme folder.

Please start your own thread instead of necro'ing another. The issue is probably that you're drive isn't formatted NFTS so you will need to do some extra steps to get some themes to work right inside of Big Box.

If you're in LaunchBox you can also just push the favorite icon in Game Details to quickly favorite/unfavorite a game (assuming the theme you've chosen to use hasn't removed that functionality)

EmuMovies has content that differs from ours (though some images aren't a LOT different). We typically say to download everything you want from LaunchBox first, then use EmuMovies to fill any gaps you have in your collection. If on the current version this becomes even easier with the Media Limit being set since it will grab LaunchBox stuff first, THEN EmuMovies. If you have "Remove Rough Image Match" on we also scan images as you get them to see if they are the same image (but in a different file) and attempt to remove those copies as well to help with any potential duplicate image issues.

I would try running Command Prompt as Administrator and running "/sfc scannow" (Without quotes) and letting it run then restarting your computer. Sounds like the OS data that tells us you have the runtime installed has been corrupted or isn't working correctly. That process should correct.

You can simply delete the Consoles category if you don't want to use it. Right click it and hit Delete from the context menu that appears.

You have to import one platform at a time. You do NOT however have to wait for the media from one platform to finish downloading before you import another. Once you get a notification saying the first batch was imported and you see that LaunchBox is downloading media you can import the next batch.

The install/update process also updates all cores at the same time from the stable build.

Need to install the webm codex for Windows Media Player for Steam videos to show.

@Tanoshimi Open Steam. On the client hover of your profile name and click the second item on the drop box, should take you to your profile page. On the right hit Edit Profile button. On the first page that appears make sure you have something in the "Custom URL" and save, then use that custom url value in the importer

Then that is your problem. Internet connection has nothing to do it. We can't create the symlinks required to make the theme work. You can manually copy your \\LaunchBox\Themes folder to \\LaunchBox\Core\ and then mark the folder read-only. After that it should work. When downloading new themes though you will have to put them in both folders for the new theme to show up in Big Box and work

Likely cause is what Retro808 was asking about. Most of the time we see that error it's because the drive LaunchBox is on isn't formatted NTFS so the symlinks fail. If you can confirm that as the cause we can provide work arounds for you to help you get past this issue.

Currently there is no way to remove side bar filters from being shown in that drop down list.

Can you click back to details before saving and let me know if that resolves your issue?

We are looking into this issue. You aren't the first to report this problem and the devs at LEDBlinky have reached out to us as well. When we get any corrections put into a beta I'll reach out for help testing the correction.

There were only 10 requests and we picked them. That item got a pretty abysmal score. So much so that we decided it probably isn't even worth it to pursue integrating it (at least not anytime in the foreseeable future). We also do NOT have a parental control feature (or least not the one mentioned in the poll) so you're entirely off base.

I'd start another thread about this issue and post your XAML. This isn't related to beta and sounds like you have something going on with the XAML because you shouldn't see the black unless you put it in the FlowContext.

What you're seeing is z-fighting. The items are drawn in index order (left to right in your picture) and the selected item wasn't told to draw above the others so the item to the right is cutting off the border of the selected item. In your example I'd suggest using an orthographic camera and then setting a selected item offset with a positive Z value and it should correct the issue.
