He is correct, my original list had 3408 roms, which didn't import. I then used a split romset which had close to 8000 files and that worked. So I guess there is a threshold of some kind.

I actually deleted the folder so I don't have an accurate count of files. But If I had to guess I would say about 4 to 5 thousand files.

It's a merged set. I did remove quite a bit of roms, as I wanted a set that did not have extra's such as playchoice, casino, mahjong. etc. I went this route because I wanted to have clones, might have to switch to a split set and import using regular import.

@faeran Can you guys look into this? I am trying to import a mame romset and I get this error. I am for the most part using a full mame romset, but some roms were removed to reduce space. . I used to be able to import semi-full sets, but now I can't Thanks

I also noticed an issue where big box crashes when loading from launchbox. Screen just turns black and I have to exit out via task manager. Thanks

I guess that explains why I can't scrape images. I'm trying to import a new game but am getting the following error scraping images. I guess i'll have to wait until its fixed.

As a follow-up I removed the arcade platform and installed an NES platform. The issue persists with this platform, as well.

Thank you, deleting the keyboard view file fixed the issue with the on-screen keyboard. However, the other issue still exists. I just copied my build to a mini pc that I have, and the same issue occurs there too. Note, I am using a full mame romset only, no other platforms have been installed yet. To reproduce trying scrolling back and forth and then stop on any letter. It seems worse on cover flow views. Also, I am using a keyboard. I have not tried it with a controller yet. Basically, it seems like the images can't keep up with the search by letter widget.

@faeran @Jason Carr Here is the latest info that I have on the issue. As I mentioned before, I am having an issue with the search by letter widget on bigbox. No matter what theme I use, any time I open up the widget to search by letter, the letter seems to not match the game selected. For example, If I scroll to the letter P, I will get a game that starts with the letter M. See example on the screenshot below. . I have tried several different troubleshooting steps, such as reinstalling Launchbox, moving my roms to the same drive that lauchbox is installed on and removing other programs that I thought might be causing a conflct. Nonthing seems to work. Also I just noticed that If I select the magnifying glass to search for a game I get a full screen, on-screen keyboard that is useless, see screenshot below. This has now become a deal breaker for me. Please look into this. My system: HP Envy x360 Laptop 8 gb of memory 256gb ssd hd

Here is a short video showing what is going on with the search by letter widget. Sorry for the wonkiness of the video, I was trying to record with one hand and run bigbox with the other. Thanks 20231212_124604.mp4

Don't know if this is beta related, but I found couple of issues that I think are worth noting: 1. There seems to be an issue with the search by letter option on big box. I have tested this on several themes, and all seem to have the same issue. When scrolling through the letters on the search by letter widget, sometimes the letter you stop at does not match the game shown. For example, if I stop on the letter "A", the game I get is Cabel, instead of an "A" lettered game. Etc. Below are screenshots showing this error on 4 different themes. This seems to happen while fast scrolling threw the letters. 2. To see if this issue was related to my install of launchbox, I re-installed launchbox from scratch. After doing so, I noticed that the search by letter error still existed but at same time I noticed another error. This time, on the recent games section of the default big box theme, I noticed that there was one game already on the list, even though I have not played any games with this build yet (see 5th screenshot). Also, while the other boxes remained un-populated (no box art), if you click on any of the other "empty" boxes, it takes you to a game anyways. This list is supposed to be clean, isn't it?

You are correct, I quoted the wrong person. But anyways, I agree that NTFS should not work on android devices, but when I plug in my usb drive formatted in NTFS it works and is recognized on my shield. It's a PNY 500gb usb drive.

The usb drive I am testing with is a 500gb drive formatted in NTFS. My shield recognizes it, as is, without any modifications. I would recommend that you format your drive in exfat or NTFS. Below is a screenshot showing the drive being recognized by Launchbox on my shield.

I know what you mean. It's possible that the issue is that launchbox does not recognize usb drives formatted by the shield. I have used drives formatted in windows and those have been recognized by launchbox on the shield. You might want to try that.

Yes, you can. Go to the hamburger menu, select "import games". From there, select "folder of games to import" and if the shield has picked up your usb drive correctly, you should see two folder paths on the "select this folder" screen. One of these paths should be to your usb drive. If your usb drive is not shown on the list, then you might have an issue with the drive itself, such as formatting etc. Hope this helps.

I think we are all here to help Jason and the developers make Launchbox and Bigbox the best it can be. I don't know how many times Merovingio has brough this issue up but looks like it's gotten to the point of frustration. I do agree with him that there seems to be some scrolling lag on Launchbox which looks like it has to do with how the images are rendered. I have switched themes and have noticed similar results with other themes. For me Bigbox seems to render images better as there is hardly any lag. However, I haven't added any videos yet, so we'll see if anything changes after those are added. Keep up the good work.

Awesome. Glad I could be of help.

If you are using the 64 bit version of retroarch, you need to use the mamearcade_libretro_android.so core, for 32 bit i believe it is mame_libretro_android.so core. Also, make sure you have the correct core downloaded inside retroarch. Depending on which version of retroarch you have.

@Stavros7575 and @ArquebusX Have you tried checking to see if retroarch is setup properly on launchbox for android? You can do this by going into the arcade platform and selecting the 3 vertical dots on the upper right side. There you will find an option that says emulator settings, select this option and you will see the emulator options for that platform. Makre sure that the default emulator matches the retroarch version you have installed. Next make sure you have the correct default core. Finally, you can select verify configuration, this will let you know if you setup retroarch correctly. If you get an error, then something is set up wrong, and you will have to check your setting again. Mine is working on my cell phone so if you still have issues, let me know.

I could be wrong, but I know that SSD's have different read/write speeds depending on the model, so it's possible that @Retrogamer4423 ssd's are running at different speeds. This could account for the differences in load speeds that he is experiencing. I too have noticed a little bit of lag when scrolling though the games on Launchbox. I also noticed that when using an xbox controller to scroll though the games that Launchbox will continue to scroll even I stop making motions with the controller.

It seems to be working for me, as well. I will update if I notice something different.

Same here. Hopefully admins will fix this asap.

Watch the video I posted. It explains it all there.

Retroarch does not come with the daphne core built in because it is not being developed anymore. That is why you have to go to the website noted in the video, download the core and install it manually in Retroarch.

No problem. If you get stuck on anything let me know.
