C-Beats

We've had this debate internally quite a bit about what to do regarding electronic handhelds. Whether to create a unique platform for each, put them in a grab bag platform, include them at all (since an argument could be made that they are toys, not video games). Not sure a decision has been came to on the matter. If one doesn't exist already I'd strongly suggest requesting it on the feedback site so people can chime in there. I know these games always seem to be pretty polarizing in the community so would be nice to have a more organized place to weigh any pros and cons on the matter.

What game were you on when you saw this error?

Oh I assure you, we get a Linux build ready for the masses and we'll be making enough noise about it that it'll be hard to miss lol

Attached is default settings with all auto-imports disabled. Extra this to the root LaunchBox folder and then start the app. Data.zip

It's a thing the team has discussed in great detail and something we'd all like to see (not only Spanish but other languages) but it'd require a complete rewrite of the database (both backend AND frontend) so isn't something we can really afford to do anytime real soon. Definitely something we're trying to push towards, just can't really make any promises at this point.

Disappearing games almost always is one of two things. 1) You have files in your data folder that don't belong. Look in \\LaunchBox\Data\Platforms and ensure there is one file per platform in there and no backup files being kept there. 2) You have an auto-hide feature enabled. Go to the View > Show/Hide menu to verify.

Only thing localized is the UI. Our database is English only so to get metadata in Spanish you'd need to manually alter the data or use a tool that scrapes metadata in your language. I believe Skraper does but be careful using their default settings as their backup options tend to break things.

Also if you haven't please post a bug report for this issue using the Help & Support > Report a Bug link at the top of this web page so that we don't lose it in the shuffle.

It doesn't correct the issue but you've been given work arounds to utilize so that you can at least open/use the app. As a refreshing you can navigate to \\LaunchBox\Data\Settings.xml and then look for <GogAutoImport> and set the value in the brackets to "Off" (without quotes) to stop this error from occurring on startup.

The backend solution the forums are hosted with had an update that seems to have broken legacy themes and so the website defaulted back to this theme (their default). The team is looking into how to restore functionality with the old forum themes.

There is still a known issue in 13.21 where entering hybrid sleep causes issues. Hybrid sleep basically is the computer hibernating first and then going to sleep. We're looking into ways to clean up that process as well but didn't want to hold back the release any longer while we tried to find the best ways to correct the issue.

We get the media list in the that tool from their API. If video's aren't listed it's typically either because their API is saying they don't have for the games/platform in question, or you don't have an active premium subscription to EmuMovies.

We get that list of media types directly from the EmuMovies API. Typically the reason you don't see video listed is because you don't have an active premium account with them which is what is required to get video snaps.

This isn't how .NET runtimes work at all... You need the runtime version a program is compiled against to being to run said application. Our CEF dependency runs on .NET Core 3.1 and thus that runtime version is required on your computer to use it. The application cannot utilize the .NET 9.0 runtime as the runtimes aren't backwards compatible. Our application packages the runtime requirements with it and so you don't run into that. We're actively looking into ways to replace CEF to remove all of that (as well as other issues we regularly encounter because of it) but until we do we have to ensure you have the runtime it uses installed for it to work correctly.

This is fixed in the newest version as is many of the issues reported by @JoeViking245

Nothing has changed in LaunchBox related to EmuMovies in quite a while. Their API is down at the moment. We can't do anything on our end.

There isn't a way to do OR across two separate fields currently. With the variations in company names it could make doing that via an auto-pop difficult anyway since names change over the lifetime of the company. You can always manually add the games to a playlist though.

You no longer need a plugin to import PS3 games. Just use the ROM import and add the folder all your other game folders exist in and the import will handle the rest.

Glad you got it sorted, thanks for the update!

What I'm asking you to do DOES this... I believe the issue you're having is your not describing the situation or your desires correctly. Are you hoping to import the following: Game A (USA) Game A (EU) Game B (JP) and only see Game B in the playlist? It sounds at this point like you may be trying to create an auto-pop playlist with logic that requires knowing about your entire library and not just that individual game. Something like, "Find all the games who's DB ID isn't duplicated ever". This isn't currently possible and wouldn't be by adding your request. Auto-pop playlists look at each game individually and applies the filter logic to that one game before moving onto the next.

Can you throw your \\LaunchBox\Data\ folder into a zip file and PM me with it here on the forums? I can try and take a look and see if anything obvious stands out as wrong.

Yeah, looks like you definitely have something going on in your data files

Turn on debug logs via LaunchBox Options window and then try it. Let it fail and then close the app and look for the most recent file in \\LaunchBox\Logs and look in there to see if an error is mentioned in there that may help.

Your errors indicate you have a permissions issue on one of the folders the app is attempting to read from. I'd ensure permissions are set correctly for the locations in question. I'd start with LB folder and subfolders first, then move to other ROM locations after.
