Version isn't typically a multi-string field so I'd have to look into the code to verify. If you version is "(USA) (Rev1)" (without quotes) and you say "None of the values - (USA)" it wouldn't fire on that because that is a single value. Multiple values need to be separated by a semicolon, so the games version would need to be "(USA);(Rev1)" which it typically isn't.

Only time I've seen this error occur is with a corrupted image file. The file is malformed and throws the error when trying to read it. I've jotted this down so I can at the very least look into a way to make the program fail silently when this happens.

Not at this time.

That is a plugin, and the plugin dev can set whether they show while locked or not. The dev would have to change that property and then recompile/rerelease the plugin for that to happen.

If yo go to Tools > Options and then the Game Details section and disable Achievements, Videos, and High Scores does the issue still persist?

You can import ROMs from any location the app can see. I don't have my Odin 2 set up the way you're describing but do/did my Odin 1 with no issues.

Currently the view isn't respecting the "Hide in Big Box" property of platforms and will be corrected in the next release. It doesn't sound like what you're referring to though.

So you're wanting the same image to be used as both? That'd require you grabbing the same file and tagging one as Advertisement Front, and the other as background. Alternatively (and what I'd recommend) is that inside of LaunchBox you go to Tools > Options and change the Background Image Priorities to just include Advertisement - Front (and make it the bottom most priority). This would then make the app use the image you already have AS a background if it couldn't find anything else.

I'd verify what you monitor's refresh rate is set to. Only reason on a PC with you specs that would cause issue that I'm aware of is if your refresh rate was under 60hz. We see this a lot when users are using a TV as a display as Windows tends to default them to 30hz.

PM'd you to work out the details of what your plugin requires to make this possible.

Sounds like a potential bug others have reported as well. We are looking into it.

This view can be used to discover any game in your library, regardless of import source. You can discover stuff from your MAME Fullset, Storefront Integrations, ROM imports, etc all from the view already. You can theme in a list to do anything an auto-populate playlist can, meaning that if you wanted to add a list for showing games with achievements you could. We didn't in stock first pass because when we were creating this RetroAchievements wasn't up yet.

Installations don't touch data folders so there's no way for the installer to corrupt your data in the manner you're referring to. Also by default LaunchBox creates a backup both on startup and shutdown of the application that you can restore by going to Tools > File Management. These backups are stored in the \\LaunchBox\Backups folder. As long as you don't disable this setting you should have been able to utilize one of these restore points.

Tools > File Management has a way of repointing ROMS to another folder for selected items

I'll have to review the code. I was fairly certain we unzipped games before running them through the hasher, but it's been a minute since I have looked into the nitty gritty of that logic. @retroNUC weren't you the one that a while back had to compile your own version of RAHasher to work with CHD until they got it pulled in? If so would it be possible for you to check that those changes are still in? We are getting some reports of CHDs hashing differently via that app than they are via the emulator.

Thanks for the report. We'll look into and get it corrected.

How are you moving from the Discovery Center to the Platforms View? Are you pressing back to get to System View and then selecting "View Platforms", or are you pressing the "View Platforms" binding, or something else entirely?

Should be pretty instant. I'd check your spam folder. If not in there email support@unbrokensoftware.com and they can assist you.

If you're getting an error that the file is missing it's almost always because an overzealous AV application quarantined that file. It's the file that launches the chrome browser we use within apps and so some AV applications kill it because it opens a browser.

I'd verify your notifications settings. You may be hiding the notification that shows saying there was an update

Are you running a virus scanner? New installs tend to trip some because there aren't a high level of installs yet. The CEF files tend to trip overzealous AV files. I'd temp disable AV and then run the installer again (will be in your updates folder) over the top (make sure you aren't installing to \\LaunchBox\LaunchBox) and then see if it opens then.

There is typically two error logs, this one and then one that actually gives the error, could you grab the other entry?

My control board does output Xinput in my cab and I still use it to help remap controls with apps/games that don't let me (or aren't physically possible on a real controller)

If you're on current version you should be able to close the app and reopen it to restart the download queue.
