Typically when people report a game is missing or not showing as expected it's because in the View menu they have one of "Hide Games Missing..." options checked and have forgotten about it. In regards to the install check I'll have to take a look at the code today while I'm in there and let you know how we are looking so you can vet that process out on your machine.

You need a premium EmuMovies account, not a standard one to download video. In regard to what images to grab for Big Box the following image types are recommended with a potentially media limit in parens: Box Front (1) [For the arcade platform change this out for Advertisement Flyer - Front] Clear Logo (1) Screenshot - Gameplay (<= 5) Fanart - Background (1-3) If you like the 3D model of the games being shown in Big Box you will want to also grab the following: Box Back (1) Box Spine (1)

Nah if you went through and left their proprietary software running and changed the poll rate and it didn't help I'd imagine it's not and can be reverted back to the 1k you had it at. Was mostly just vetting out a potential cause that I've seen improve others (and my) computer performance in the past.

Those reports do get anonymously sent to us (just the text inside gets sent, no personal or identifying information) if connected to the internet. Do you have any examples?

Yeah, gaming mice typically shoot for 1k hz. The issue is how long the system takes to get the poll response with some mice (especially if that mouse is trying to find it's proprietary software like Razers seem to...). I'd change the setting and see if it helps, if it doesn't put it back.

125hz is the standard polling rate for mice. This means the computer asks the mouse where it's at 125 times a second. Your rate is 1000hz so it's being asked 1000x a second. My razer by default does 1k and had to be turned down to 500hz via the Razer Central app or it caused issues like what you're experiencing. Razer mice in general cause issues if razer software isn't installed as well (or did in my set up). I never saw the issue in LaunchBox but did in some games I was playing. Once I turned it down to 500 and made sure the razer app/service started as it was supposed to the issue went away.

@LittleGuy The issue is that "Old Default" isn't the same theme between the two versions of LaunchBox. That version introduced a new default theme and so the Old Default got changed to what theme was default before that version. You're looking for what we now call "Old Default (Legacy)" theme which can be installed/applied via the Themes Manager found in the Tools drop down menu.

I don't remember if I've asked you or not @Retrofrogg but have you checked your mouse/keyboard poll rates? We had one user report that their poll rate was set pretty high and was causing some delays on their system (I've personally experienced this well in other applications when mine was at the same setting). Lowering it corrected some of the issues they were seeing. Curious if such a thing affects what you're seeing or not.

Can you give a screenshot of what your PDF viewer looks like when you open it? I know when we first started developing this version we had a similar issue, but I'm fairly certain we had it resolved by now. EDIT: Disregard... I was able to rep. I had already corrected internally but it hasn't made it into the release yet. Should be corrected in beta 2.

Do you have the "Use Random Color Theme on Startup" option checked in Visuals > Main Window Theme > Features?

No idea. It's on them right now and they aren't offering any sort of ETA on when to expect it done. They recently pushed some web changes and have been working on changing how the data is stored/retrieved via their database but I'm not sure how much more they have to go before they get it up and running. At this point we'd probably wait a few months minimum after it's brought up to ensure the new API is stable as well to look into any endpoints that may have changed during the transition anyway so I wouldn't expect integration would be added back into LaunchBox until at least the end of Q1 2024.

LaunchBox can already natively find the title of a PS3 game if you import the EBOOT.bin file so this shouldn't be needed.

We have seen this reported by some users and there is a beta that should address the issue. To opt into it perform the following steps with LaunchBox closed: Navigate to the folder LaunchBox is installed to Go to the Data folder and open Settings.xml Search for "EnableAutoImport" (without quotes) Change that value from true to false Save and close the file Open LaunchBox Go to Tools > Options, in the window that opens to go the General > Updates page and check update to beta release. Close options and then go to help menu and check for updates and let LB install the beta it finds Once LB restarts itself under the beta you can disable that beta opt in (if desired), and then go to Tools > Manage > Manage Storefronts and enable the auto import again.

Yeah, I plan to eventually get most of the major platforms done. MAME has quite a few games though and I've been manually doing all of this and so been tackling systems with a smaller number of games.

Do the following with LaunchBox closed: Navigate to the folder you installed LaunchBox in. Go to the Data folder inside of this folder Open the Settings.xml file Look for "EnableAutoImport" tag. Set true to false Save and close the file Reopen LaunchBox Let me know if that corrects for you.

Select the game and press Ctrl+E to open the Edit Game window and then go to Launching > Emulation and change the emulator there. Should look like the following:

Can you windows search "set up game controllers" and click on the item that appears. Then select your controller in that list and hit properties. A test like the image below should show. Does your buttons register there?

I'd personally recommend just using the UI. In LaunchBox go to the platform, right click and press "Edit". In that window on the right is the image grid. Drag/drop the image into it and then change the image type to clear logo. Once back in Big Box go to the options page and to the Image Cache section and clear your logo cache and then it should appear correctly in the wheel

You can change which emulator a game uses via the Edit Game window, though at the moment I'm a bit confused as to why you're importing to a MK platform instead of just using a playlist.

They don't have a public API at the moment. We can review adding it back in once/if they get it back up. Once it comes back up we'll have to consider whether adding it back in makes sense or not. They will probably have endpoint changes, and we'd still have to see how stable their new solution is. The website and it's API has been pretty unstable over the last 5-6mo and we don't want to spend time developing integration to a third party that isn't stable.

This is related to the Steam ID changes that are ongoing on the DB. The current work around would be to do the following: Edit the game Go to the Launching tab Cut the application path Go to metadata tab Search for metadata Select game Return to launching tab Paste application path back in Press OK to save changes

Correct. It hides the platform ffrom the platform list, but doesn't hide the games. So if you're using Platform Category and those games are in a visible playlist they WOULD still show there. To have them NOT show AT ALL in Big Box you need to Hide the game and then in LaunchBox set your Show/Hide settings to show hidden games.

How are you launching the game? Pressing enter, right click play, etc. Also does it only happen with this emulator or do you have the issue with anything you try and launch?
