Yeah, we discovered another anomaly and are currently running the process again. Hopefully will be resolved within the next 30m or so.

@NEcroxide There was a data error in the Sqlite files that were generated this morning. I've since rebuilt the files and they are ready for download. Use the steps Joe gave you a second time and it should resolve itself now.

We had a data error in the DB file caused by one of the new platforms added to the DB. It's since been corrected. Go to Tools > Download > Force Download Games Database to correct

Sounds like we have a volunteer! Thanks in advance for your services @damageinc86! Much appreciated!

Looks like a bug related to you arrange by. If you change to arrange by title I'd assume you don't see them duplicated like that. Try setting to the title arrangement and see if they duplicated, if they aren't go back to platform arrange by and see if it resolves itself.

It can but it's admittedly far easier with some of the plugins the community has made such as this one

Some of those are already in a scroll area which could make things a bit weird trying to add scrollable elements in it. I don't typically use star rating feature so I have to open up the theme/app and take a look at where I even stuck that element to see if I have the space to stick the community rating

I've corrected all 4 on the website. You won't see the corrections in the DB file until tomorrow though because that process has already ran today. Thanks for the heads up!

Select the games then Tools > File Management > (Bottom most option)

There are ways to kinda/sorta do this but it's HEAVILY manual work and the app overall isn't really intended to be used with that workflow

This should be entirely possible (though ideally you'd set the scrape as to Nintendo Entertainment System to get DB matches and art.

You'd just add the games you want to see on the grid. That being said there is no logic to combine several platform items into one grid item. You wouldn't be able to right click it and say "Launch the SNES version"

Not via Auto-Populate rules. You can create a manual playlist and only add the versions you want though.

Sounds like the platform isn't being correctly set in the import. Can you run the import again and stop and take a snapshot of the page that asks what platform you're importing to? I'd suspect it incorrectly says "All"

While that's been true in the past it's not 100% accurate currently. If there is a value in a parens we see if that value in parens is also present in the title of the DB game and if so use that as a first round match, if it can't be found THEN it's discarded. It helps us identify which game the ROM is a match to for platforms that had multiple titles for the same game.

Are none, it wasn't used to make this theme

Yeah, if you don't plan to rollback to a version before packs were implemented it's safe to remove that folder

Sounds like that DLL got corrupted. Run the installer for that version over top of it (it WILL NOT remove your data/media) and see if that resolves. Make sure you point to R:\LaunchBox and NOT R:\LaunchBox\LaunchBox when doing so

I mentioned it to the team. I can definitely see the confusion regarding there not just being a generic "Forums" link on the top level navbar. We'll see what they do with the suggestion moving forward.

Could simply go directly to the forums instead of the homepage. Either by typing "forums" instead of "www" or using a bookmark.

If you have Steam running on your computer make sure it's virtual controller stuff that is on by default is off. Sometimes it can be messing with system inputs in less than ideal ways.

Help & Support > Technical forums will take you to this site. Also there is no login for the homepage because there's nothing to log INTO. GamesDB, Forums, and Feedback sites all have credentials and require logging in to fully utilize. The WWW does not.

Tools > Image Packs > Import

As far as I'm aware this should update the metadata. If you're not seeing it do so please file a bug report As far as your second question you can try the bulk image import in the Tools Menu. It has similar logic to the app regarding ability to tie an image to a game and I believe it does rename the file more appropriately as part of that import process. Regarding the logic used it's FAIRLY simple. We match images based on following criteria: The image filename is an exact match to the ROM filename (minus the extension) The image name is the same as the game title (invalid filename characters are turned into underscores for this logic) The image name is the same as the game title with a numeral suffix (ie Mario Bros-01.png) The image name is the same as the game title with a ID and numeral suffix (the ID is the game's ID and is used when the same platform has multiple games by the same name)

Probably does it themselves using some batch process in an image editor. Has a script that you pass in the template and the Steam Poster and it spits out those. If you look in the forum download section you may be able to find a template with how-to steps. I know I've seen em around.
