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

LaunchBox is for PC and Android only. If you're using it on the Series X you aren't using anything official from us. You may be using something called LaunchPass which isn't made by us. They have a Discord server you could hop in and ask there potentially.

We don't send emulator information to LEDBlinky ever. We send platform name, that being said we DO change "Arcade" to "MAME" though I'm not entirely sure why (code is a bit before my time). LEDBlinky should still work if you add those games to your MAME list instead of splitting the games up into different lists in LEDBlinky. Either that or move the items inside of LaunchBox to a platform of the same name you have the list as in LEDBlinky.

We see this error a lot when people have bad image files and the carousel is trying to load them. If you look in that platforms screenshot and background image folders do you have files in there that show as 0kb size in Windows File Explorer?

Not real sure about thing you linked but I have a switch on my cab that powers on the internals. Just took a power bar and cut off the male end and then you use the wires in there to attach to the switch. Was pretty easy and certainly didn't require soldering to do. Not sure this the exact brand/link I purchased from but it looks to be the same thing overall: https://www.amazon.com/URBEST-Rocker-Switch-IEC320-Module/dp/B00NWO68JI. Then I just set up my PC to turn on when it receives power in the BIOS settings.

You're images don't appear to have pasted correctly and are broken links so I'm flying a BIT blind here. If the desire is to change the font size on the individual options shown on the right side of the UI then there is actually a different view file for each type of option control. If you look in the default there is about 5 different view files you haven't mentioned that start with the word "Option" these are the view files that handle the actual text you see in the options and can be altered to increase the size of the font.

You can't make changes to Default theme in any way as it gets overwritten on app startup. You need to copy it to it's own new folder and then swap to that theme in app. If you just want to swap the actual button images you don't need to touch XAML files you just replace the images in the corresponding folder. If you're trying to remove the back arrow you need to remove the <Path> control that is drawing it. I gave you the exact line number that path is on for the Game Discovery view

In the latest changes made to the DB Pico-8 has been added as a platform. It will take time for users to add games and artwork but once that is done you should be able to scrape the games for media like you would other platforms.

In case it's not clear. The new genre "Compilation" should be used for games that have multiple games within them. 4-in-1 packs for example, or "Anthologies" that allow you to play several games within that same master game. This should cut down on the need or desire to add every genre under the sun on a title because it has 4+ games in it with wildly different genres for each game.

Can google Clear Logo generator and find quite a few sites that make some basic clear logo's with whatever raw text you feed them. Can try some AI generative tool like Dali potentially as well (though I don't have much experience with those to tell ya how good a result to expect).

Just reviewed the code and it aligns with what I said previously. If you can provide a few examples of what you're seeing it'd help determine if the functionality was working as intended or if we have a bug.

Was thinking we already did this, will say though that region priority takes precedence (if memory serves correct). In that I mean if you're telling us to prioritize US ROMs and your US ROM is a beta, but you have a release EU ROM, we'd make the US ROM the primary because we look at region first, then the other tags second. I'll review the code to make sure my memory is serving me correctly. It's been a minute since I've looked at that section of the codebase.

The way Steam matching works is the app only matches Steam games to DB records that have that Steam ID associated to them. To get around this logic you can do the following steps: Edit the game in question In the Edit Game window go to the Launching page Cut (CTRL+X) the value in the Application Path text box Go to the General page Use the Search for Metadata button to search the DB, then select the record you want to use Go back to the Launching page and paste the value back into the Application Path that was there before Save the changes
