LaunchBox requirements to run smoothly are higher than MAME is for the most part. Some of the newer CHD games may require more but they are almost all 3D games that I know of. I admit I don't play games that require them ever.

Can you all turn on Debug Logging via Options and get that error to pop and then send the log file generated? Curious if it has more information we can use to track down the cause.

Would be pretty difficult to find something that can't play MAME games (at least without shaders). I have 50USD handhelds that can play MAME... lol

I'll be working tomorrow almost exclusively on this issue. If anyone could provide the following bits of information it'd be very helpful in determining the cause of the issue! 1) Is the location your importing from on the same drive as the LaunchBox install? 2) Is the location your importing from IN the LaunchBox folder? 3) What import method are you using to import your games? Import wizard, drag/drop, something else? 4) What folder is the games folder of the platform you're importing games to? Does that folder actually exist? 5) What platform are you importing for? What is it's scrape as value set as if not a default platform name?

As you've been told several times, this GUID is appended to ensure that images that are for that game in question is assigned to that game in question. If you don't want a GUID to appear in the image files name your files in a way that no two games in the same platform have the same title. Typically to do so you'd append the publisher name in parens. Something like "Game Name (Publisher)" (without quotes). Please stop bringing this feature up or I'll be forced to revoke you post rights entirely.

As you are well aware this is a feature of LaunchBox. If you don't want the GUID combine your games.

Wondering if it wasn't just a games database metadata file issue. New day means the app auto-grabs it which corrected the problem.

Simply copy pasting the entire text of that error window into the beta thread (when on beta) would suffice, maybe give a little insight as to what you were doing when it happened, and whether you can get it to do it EVERY time or if it seems fairly random.

Both of you experienced a new bug in the beta but *check notes* DIDN'T report it, and then *checks notes again* wonder why you're having an issue in full release?

The cookie they give us to use expires pretty quickly which causes issues. We've looked into it in the past and wasn't able to find to anything. If we do we'll move to it. It's definitely annoying.

Tools > Options there is a Game Controller (and Mappings under it) for enabling Game controllers in the LB interface. If that is enabled for that controller by default left stick will make the mouse work the way you're describing.

Is a file by the exact name in the new location in your test? If it doesn't are you seeing a prompt saying the file isn't in the location and asking if you'd like to change it anyway? If so are you pressing Yes or No?

Not at this time, that being said you could make a wheel show text instead of images and remove the curve and it'd look essentially the same and allow for the functionality you're hoping for.

Dolphin standalone should be used for GameCube which LaunchBox should be recommending for you already. If you set that emulator up as default for that platform and let it reassign it for the games you wouldn't need to use the "Open With..." it'd just play with that emulator. Same with using Simple64 for N64.

Fullset importer imports all games that are in a full set regardless of whether they were in your set during import. What is likely happening is that the fullset imported the game despite the fact it was missing and now you're trying to import a path already in your library. When you do that even the "force import duplicates" doesn't work since that looks for same game different file.

You'll need to contact support@unbrokensoftware.com and give them your information. The data is stored in our databases and will need manually checked/cleared and so personal information may need to change hands to make that happen making that email address a far better place to do that than on the forums.

Tools > Options > Search. There is a setting there that says how many votes are required before using community ratings. If I had to guess those games have under what you have set making their score count as 0

I've not used the CTC, but adding the index to a view in the raw XAML isn't overly complicated. If you look in the default theme folder you can find the code easily enough. It's at the bottom of those views. Faeran left a comment for that section that says "alpha-numeric index" or something real similar.

This is a Direct X error. Make sure you're video card drivers are up to date.

This error indicates your files are mismatched. Run the installer over the current directory (make sure not to point to \\LaunchBox\LaunchBox) and it should correct this.

You can bind a key to "Open Index" which would let you jump to a letter, open search, or open the filter menu and then can use those controls to more quickly get to the game you're wanting to go to.

Until Amazon brings up their API or we find a new endpoint/method to utilize to get your library information this will remain broke. We are looking into it and will update the post @AstroBob linked. Locking this thread, use that one instead.

FlowControl/Wheel views do this in Big Box already as @Retro808 eluded to. Text view I don't believe has that functionality.
