That error indicates the theme is using a converter not in your version of LaunchBox/Big Box.

Code changes have been made that should appear in the next beta release to correct. Epic changed their login screen and is using bad captcha code. We were able to make a change to help get around that issue thankfully.

Nice catch. I added the data to the backend and started the process to get the data files updated. May take a bit to complete, but should be ready to go once done.

The RAHasher app was updated to make this possible and is packaged in the next version of LaunchBox. Beta version should be out sometime this week and you can test to ensure it's working for you then.

Reads to me like the JSON file we are getting from GOG is malformed. Could you PM me your GOG profile name and I can take a look at the return and see if I can replicate.

Restoring a backup doesn't really require ANY tech savvy. The following steps can be used in those circumstances: Delete the existing Data folder in entirety Open LaunchBox Run the restore backup process, selecting the one you want to restore to If they are having problems remembering those steps can probably create a small ReadMe.txt file for them in that folder. No app or upgrade processes are setup to remove files from that location so you wouldn't need to worry about it getting removed by us.

The post I linked directly above you gives you those steps on how to find and install the newest version.

The videos you are referring to are called "Theme Videos" and can be grabbed during import or by using the "Download Metadata and Media Wizard". They are hosted by EmuMovies and so to grab them from LaunchBox you DO need to have an active EmuMovies license and your credentials entered into LaunchBox. Once that is done run either tool and in the page where you select EmuMovies media to grab I believe the Theme Videos typically are the bottom most row. Make sure to check that box. For the theme to use them you may also need to go to Options inside of LaunchBox and change your Video Priorities so that Theme Videos have a higher priority than gameplay videos. Once that is done you should see something similar to the YouTube screenshot you're showing. The other discrepancy you see is the marquee. They downloaded Arcade - Marquee images and you have not so the theme is falling back to manually creating one with a blurred background and your clear logo.

If you have the old data files backed up (LaunchBox does it automatically and sticks it in \\LaunchBox\Backups unless disabled) you can just use one of those backup files to restore all your data by deleting everything in \\LaunchBox\Data and then extracting the data from that backup into the folder. With media you have two options. You can just place the media in the correct folder and as long as the title hasn't changed they will just work. We also now have a image pack import that can be used to import packs of media like you have. We have a tutorials playlist on our YouTube channel, and do release videos for every release where we try to give a short guide on how to use a new feature. You should be able to find almost everything you need from either source. If you don't feel free to ask on the forums or reach out to support@unbrokensoftware.com Simply means you have the rare opportunity to rediscover the app as a new user. Not many people have that new user experience twice, the gratification of discovering different little things you, up until now, may not have been sure were even there! That being said that same experience very easily can result in feeling overwhelmed, and if it gets to that point feel free to reach out with any questions.

I'd reach out to support@unbrokensoftware.com and explain your use case. Could potentially get a data dump of the data that you can then peruse and use locally without the need for much manual navigation in the first place.

BezelProject is based on file name typically. We do add some logic to help with the matching so that we match a bit more loosely than that project but it still is a contributing factor. I'd have to review the code we put in place. I don't remember if we overwrite any config files meaning if you already had something set up in the config we wouldn't have added the line to use the overlay.

LaunchBox is file/emulator agnostic. You can run any program that accepts command line arguments to launch the game. I'd be curious to know what you view as LaunchBox being "picky" in your endeavors thus far.

I am able to reproduce on my Odin 2 and have informed the teams. Thanks for the report!

I'd have to look at the code closer but it's entirely possible that control is in a ViewBox which is a standard WPF control that scales the stuff in them.

RetroBat last I knew doesn't have it's own interface and uses EmulationStation to display your games. I'd have to see what you're view you're referring to to be able to tell you if we have a theme that matches that style. The Year in Review video on our YouTube channel displays a lot of the new themes the year brought. You can also browse the download section here on the forums to see what all is available.

Which is why we display images in groups. The UI uses group priority to determine which images are shown where. Having groups means you can easily identify that the groups the UI use have the desired amount of images in that bucket. We have some image types thrown in that don't really have a "group" to call home and really aren't used by our stock UI anyway to help in those endeavors. Unless you're trying kit out your media to work with a specific theme that uses images outside of the groups there isn't too many reasons to not look at the group level that we could think of, which is why that window works the way it does.

@MJF if you start seeing a lot of this please reach out to support@unbrokensoftware.com and let us know what game/platform you saw the request on so we can dive into change requests and see who is making them and help educate them on the Games Database policies and any other required actions.

You'd want to look up a project called "Flashpoint". They curate the flash games and have their own launcher for them. I believe on our forums we have users that created a plugin or some sort of process to bring a Flashpoint library into their LB installs, but it's not a project I follow real close to know all the details of. I'd grab Flashpoint and see if it'll do what you want, then search our forums for the same name and you should be able to figure something out.

That file is something a chrome browser creates to download the file to, once it gets all the data it then renames the file to the appropriate file name. Having that file still there would indicate the browser never finished the download.

After grabbing the image you will want to go into Big Box Options menu and look for an "Image Cache" area and clear the Logo Image cache or those images won't update (at least not for the games the cache image was already generated for)

I assume the wrong file was moved. When you say "Game Details" what are you referring to? Also what file did you copy over?

If changing the theme changed this behavior than you have a theme override setting set for Default that you'll want to reset or change.

Not at the moment. I'd have to review that code to see if it's something that could be accomplished via animation or not.

If you're in playlist view when you change what playlist your on I believe it sends it then
