C-Beats

I admit that feature was a bit of a selfish one. I put it in to make testing views and development far easier and quicker for myself. I'm glad some one else is enjoying it so I can feel a bit more justified in making the change lol.

12.5 Beta 1 has code changes to help diminish the delay reported in this thread. Would it be possible for some of you to update to the beta and let us know if it solves (or at least improves) the issue you are having?

Right now the best way to do this is still to simply drag/drop import the setup file. You can also just manually add a game to your library and point it to the correct path as well. There is no import process designed to import setup files though.

We don't personally use sub-genre's but the Realtime filter does SORTA use them. If you genre is named "Genre / Subgenre" (without quotes) then the realtime filter will shove all the subgenre's under the primary genre. You see this by default when using the MAME Fullset Importer then running the realtime filter against the imported platform. I personally have a build I'm creating where I add a single Genre / Subgenre to every game and it works well.

Just as a note, this is only true if you use the "Replace" (middle) option in the Download Metadata and Media Wizard.

Can download the Lambda Beta theme and take a look at how it's done there.

@DeadVoivod @noahdaddy Can you both confirm your version? I'm trying to replicate this so I can correct, but am having problems getting it fire. Is it something that is happening regularly for you or does it come and go? Is there anything you do that reliable gets that message? If so could you give me some reproduction steps so I can attempt to replicate this issue.

Almost every time I've seen something like this reported it's because you have a service called "nahimic" running on your computer. Should be able to open Task Manager to the service tab and see if it is running, and shut it down if it is. Typically it's installed by crappy audio manager software. Realtek is the biggest offender of this.

Because Windows and Arcade aren't as absolute in what they represent. They are a generalization of several machines. You can manually edit those details however in the Add/Edit Platform screen of LaunchBox for ANY platform. Simple go to Tools > Manage > Platforms. Find the platform you want, then select it and press edit.

Always been driven by that option (which is off by default). That hasn't been changed.

Would probably need to use a newer theme that utilizes WallView to get what you want. Something like "The POC" or "RetroMags". Pulse has a WallView too but I don't think the notes are displayed in that one.

In the View menu there are options to hide games missing certain artwork.

Looks like your error failed to paste to the post. Can you try posting it again so some one can attempt to help you.

That is an option you have to turn on in the General page of the option menu.

Yeah. You can always pick what images types you want to pull in the wizard. You can't change a download job once processed though. You'll have to cancel the job. Clear the space you need, then run the download media tool again after that. I'd also considering setting a media limit amount when doing so to help make sure you don't get a large number of the same image type and blow out your hard drive requirements as well.

Text files are considered documents and is probably why you aren't seeing them in versions. They are probably in your "View Documents" menu section.

Alright. Let us know if you still see it after that so we can make sure we DON'T have a bug on our hands.

No. We would never remove that. In the context menu changes introduced in 12.2 we attempt to syphon your apps into 1 of 3 buckets, each with their own home now in the context menu. Versions - Other playable versions of the game Apps - Applications added to add functionality, or helper apps that aren't the game itself Documents - Extra documentation like manuals, magazines, cheat sheets, etc that have been added to the game. Versions and Apps should appear in the root toward the top by Play, Documents are in the media section. No app should be hidden from the context menu though.

@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?
