It doesn't correct the issue but you've been given work arounds to utilize so that you can at least open/use the app. As a refreshing you can navigate to \\LaunchBox\Data\Settings.xml and then look for <GogAutoImport> and set the value in the brackets to "Off" (without quotes) to stop this error from occurring on startup.

The backend solution the forums are hosted with had an update that seems to have broken legacy themes and so the website defaulted back to this theme (their default). The team is looking into how to restore functionality with the old forum themes.

There is still a known issue in 13.21 where entering hybrid sleep causes issues. Hybrid sleep basically is the computer hibernating first and then going to sleep. We're looking into ways to clean up that process as well but didn't want to hold back the release any longer while we tried to find the best ways to correct the issue.

We get the media list in the that tool from their API. If video's aren't listed it's typically either because their API is saying they don't have for the games/platform in question, or you don't have an active premium subscription to EmuMovies.

We get that list of media types directly from the EmuMovies API. Typically the reason you don't see video listed is because you don't have an active premium account with them which is what is required to get video snaps.

This isn't how .NET runtimes work at all... You need the runtime version a program is compiled against to being to run said application. Our CEF dependency runs on .NET Core 3.1 and thus that runtime version is required on your computer to use it. The application cannot utilize the .NET 9.0 runtime as the runtimes aren't backwards compatible. Our application packages the runtime requirements with it and so you don't run into that. We're actively looking into ways to replace CEF to remove all of that (as well as other issues we regularly encounter because of it) but until we do we have to ensure you have the runtime it uses installed for it to work correctly.

This is fixed in the newest version as is many of the issues reported by @JoeViking245

Nothing has changed in LaunchBox related to EmuMovies in quite a while. Their API is down at the moment. We can't do anything on our end.

There isn't a way to do OR across two separate fields currently. With the variations in company names it could make doing that via an auto-pop difficult anyway since names change over the lifetime of the company. You can always manually add the games to a playlist though.

You no longer need a plugin to import PS3 games. Just use the ROM import and add the folder all your other game folders exist in and the import will handle the rest.

Glad you got it sorted, thanks for the update!

What I'm asking you to do DOES this... I believe the issue you're having is your not describing the situation or your desires correctly. Are you hoping to import the following: Game A (USA) Game A (EU) Game B (JP) and only see Game B in the playlist? It sounds at this point like you may be trying to create an auto-pop playlist with logic that requires knowing about your entire library and not just that individual game. Something like, "Find all the games who's DB ID isn't duplicated ever". This isn't currently possible and wouldn't be by adding your request. Auto-pop playlists look at each game individually and applies the filter logic to that one game before moving onto the next.

Can you throw your \\LaunchBox\Data\ folder into a zip file and PM me with it here on the forums? I can try and take a look and see if anything obvious stands out as wrong.

Yeah, looks like you definitely have something going on in your data files

Turn on debug logs via LaunchBox Options window and then try it. Let it fail and then close the app and look for the most recent file in \\LaunchBox\Logs and look in there to see if an error is mentioned in there that may help.

Your errors indicate you have a permissions issue on one of the folders the app is attempting to read from. I'd ensure permissions are set correctly for the locations in question. I'd start with LB folder and subfolders first, then move to other ROM locations after.

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.
