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.

7 year necro lol. Check the folders one the platform in question, sounds like the music folder may have been changed to a location we can't create the folder in.

Not sure what password you're referring to. LB doesn't ask you for a password at all and you clearly were able to log into the forums.

No, the XAML schema between the two apps are completely different so there's no way to run a PC theme on Android and vice versa.

Not at easy one. I believe some one made a plugin to get around it and it basically does the download through the plugin, but I can't really recall what it was called. Personally not sure I see the point filling the hard drive with images you'll never see in the app.

Typically this occurs when a firewall is blocking or quarantining that mentioned DLL file. I'd go to that file path and ensure the dll is there. If not run the LaunchBox installer over that directory (it doesn't overwrite any data) to get it to populate again. If it IS there right click and go to properties to ensure it's not locked by the OS as well. That DLL stores the in-app chrome browser so a lot of AVs see having a browser as dangerous and blocks it.

LaunchBox is designed to show region correct information. If your game has the region filled in the downloader only grabs region correct images (when possible). Having multiple box front images typically doesn't make a ton of sense in the app since you will only ever see a single image throughout the interface and so we've done our best to ensure the image you see is the correct one for your game entry.

Can you do the following and let me know if it resolves your issue? Close LaunchBox and ensure the process isn't running in the background Navigate to your LaunchBox directory and then open the following file: \\LaunchBox\Data\Settings.xml In that file there should be a tag called "EnableAutomatedImports", if that is true set it to false and then save and close the file. Reopen LaunchBox and see if the issue persists.

There are something like 5 different hide settings, not just the one.

Anytime games are missing you feel should be shown check the Hide menu. There are some options that hide games when certain criteria are met which people tend to forgot they set and can cause confusion.

You very well could be right, at the moment I'm not even sure what option you're referring to. I don't recall MAME having any sort of "Update" option anywhere. I admit I haven't had the time to really dig into it.

With Endless set to false each item should ever appear once in the list. That property should do both things you're hoping to do.

Dinput detection/use for Windows can sometimes be hit or miss. Typically I tell users asking to grab x360ce and create a virtual xbox controller bound to your dual sense and then just bind your emulators to that virtual controller. Works pretty seamlessly and you can alter the mappings per application if required as well. That being said, I don't know that I've heard of those two emulators having that issue as much as others so there may be other configuration issues going on as well.

Fairly certain MAME previously was only ever downloaded during the Fullset Importer and yes I believe it always installed to a new folder (but I haven't looked into code to confirm)

That window is themable so you can change around the logic a bit. At the moment though I believe it's set so that it's always displayed as long as the search bar has the keyboard focus.
