We don't have any hard data in the DB that two releases are for the same "master game". Best bet is to just select "All" in your side bar view and then sort by title and look for entries where the same name occurs several times in a row. Typically the boxes look pretty much the same as well and tend to stick out fairly easily. If you have premium when you find these you could add a custom field to them to be used in the future to help with that endeavor.

You'd have to get a gameplay video for your game and add it. To be able to scrape these automatically into LaunchBox you must have an active premium LaunchBox license as well as an active EmuMovies subscription/premium account. If you have both those things you simply enter your EmuMovies creds into LaunchBox and import then in the Update Metadata and Media wizard

PS2 the only emulator you should ever be using is PCSX2

yeah, the app is portable. As long as the copy/paste doesn't break the relative pathing it'll work just fine.

If a badge is built and working in LB it also works in BB. What are you having issues with? Are you just struggling to determine how to get the new badge to display in the theme?

I've not used it and not even 100% sure it does what you're asking but you could take a look at Reshade. It does a lot of black magic on the GPU and may be able to do what you're looking for

Try the following: Ensure you're in controller mode You need to setup the in game controls in your emulator as well, not in Big Box I don't remember having much problem with mine but I admit I haven't touched in a long time. You could use a software like x360ce if needed to help translate the built in controls to a virtual xbox controller, but I personally don't believe I ran into the need for it on mine.

If what DamageInc suggested doesn't work I'd also try refreshing your platform image cache

This should be resolved in next beta. In the meantime you can close LaunchBox then go to \\LaunchBox\Data\Emulators.xml and look for that application path in that file and remove it and then save the file and open LaunchBox.

Unless your theme has disabled the image cache the image size of the original image doesn't really matter since it's not what's actually used in the Big Box UI. The first time we had to grab the new image there may be some delay as we create the new cache image, but after that it should load at the same speed your other images loaded.

Typically when we see reports like these it's because the user has a Hide setting on they forgot about and already have the games imported and LaunchBox refuses to import them twice. You can go to View > Hide Games and make sure none of those sub menu items are checked.

Check your \\LaunchBox\Logs\ folder as well as \\LaunchBox\Updates. Any files in there can be removed without affecting LaunchBox at all. You can also run the Media Cleanup Wizard inside of LaunchBox once you can open it and use it to make sure you don't have media you no longer need in the directory that can be cleaned up to recover space.

Well if this is what you're using as criteria then that's your issue. Should be the following: game.EmulatorId != null && Unbroken.LaunchBox.Plugins.PluginHelper.DataManager.GetEmulatorById(game.EmulatorId)?.Title?.Contains("MAME") == true This makes sure that a null value doesn't throw any null reference exceptions

The marquee views are located in \\LaunchBox\Themes\{Name of Theme\Views and you'd be looking at PlatformMarqueeView.xaml and GameMarqueeView.xaml. If the theme you're using doesn't have those files it falls back to the ones in the Default theme folder. If you're using Default it's important to note you need to copy the folder and rename it because the Default theme files get overwritten every startup. Once you find the file in question you're looking for any FlowImage control and need to add the following to it "UseImageCache="False"" (without outer quotes).

I'd check your log files and make sure there isn't any exceptions in there related to the badge. It sounds like the process may be throwing an exception and killing the thread that loads all the badges (which is why you see none)

What may be happening is that you're using an image cache image in the marquee instead of the raw image file, because of that the image is condensed in size a bit to make loading faster. There are ways to tell the control NOT to use an image cache but you'd need to alter your theme files potentially to do so (assuming that is the cause for what you're seeing).

Wasn't even aware we had the ability to put non-numeric strings in there lol

Multiple Disks appears when you have more than one app who has a disk number greater than 1. Multiple version displays if you have any apps that are missing a disk or are disk 1.

I don't believe the emulators have any code in them that says, "hey this is a disc loading screen, go ahead and swap discs for them". So you still need to go to the emulator menu and use the swap disc menu item to move to the next one. I admit it's been a long while since I've been in that scenario though so if you wait long enough some one may chime in and prove me wrong.

There are I believe two vert themes in the download section so you could start from there if you wanted. FauxVert is one I made that is for horizontal monitors but displays vertical, sounds like you WON'T want that one if you're actually changing desktop orientation. TrueVert the name of the one I use on my vpin cab. Believe it was JaysArcade that made another one (which I actually use for my arcade games on my cab).

That's probably the fastest/easiest way to. Can use something like SteamDb to do the lookup as well.

If you see the image in the Add/Edit window then it may be that the cache just didn't generate properly. You can select those games and press F5 and if they would appear if that was the case.

Can email support@unbrokensoftware.com and have them confirm, but that email reads that you bought a year license. The license works forever with any version of LaunchBox that was released before May 29, 2019 (a year from purchase date). If you want it to work on a new copy you will need to purchase a new license.

For the badge and other Steam features to work within LB you're application path should be "steam://rungameid/<SteamAppId>" (without quotes). Pointing to the executable directly will bypass a lot of the logic we do in app for Steam titles.

You can set a given platform/playlist to use the theme/view automatically so if the vert games are in their own section you don't really have to hop back and forth between themes. That being said your resolution could be an issue, most themes aren't really built with 240p in mind. They MAY work, but some may need tweaking.
