Is there a reason it might miss a game? I just noticed 1943: Battle for Midway for NES was missing in my games list. Using the default settings for regions, it appears to find the game 1943 (Japan) (FamicomBox). I usually only add Japan games labelled as English, but removing Japan from the list or adding the language filter English, then it doesn't pick the game up at all for me. If I load up the original DAT file it shows 4 different copies are available, including a 1943 - The Battle of Midway (USA), which should be the one selected due to USA being top priority? Could it be due to the way the other 3 games are named with the " - " in the name? I'm using the Hearded dat file

Is this normal? I get the errors whenever my mouse hovers over one of the options in Exclusions and Modes. Also I can't seem to identify if one of the options is active or not? EDIT: Appears the latest binary doesn't include the images folder. So I downloaded again through using Code > Download Zip and it all is working.

Is there a way to make it so I can display the 3D boxes, but when I click the flip box icon, it changes to the BoxBack view? Currently it doesn't do anything and the only way for me to flip the box to the back is by using the 2D boxes.

It is still a decent price and I'll still be making the upgrade today. I was just under the impression that the Grandfathered status locked the previous prices before the price hike for all versions of the license. I purchased last year a yearly for $10, which had I purchased that a year earlier, I would have had the option to upgrade the license the following year for $20, making it $30 overall. But since the price increase happened between the time I purchased the yearly, to the time I was going to upgrade, those who got yearly last year with the intention of upgrading this year, now pay an extra $10 compared to those doing this method throughout previous years. So those purchasing last year, could have just gone with the $40 straight away if they knew it wouldn't actually save them anything by holding out a year. Anyway, thanks for the amazing product ?.

I thought last year the upgrade offer was $20 for existing users? This year it's $30?

What's the purpose of the "screen capture" in LB settings? Where is the screenshots saved to through LB? I have Retroarch set to take screenshots and it does this successfully, but I'm coming across issues with LB / BB? If I'm using LB, I load up a game that uses RA and then use F8 to grab a screenshot, it appears in the screenshots folder I have selected for RA. Upon exiting the game, LB asks me if I want to save the screenshots I had taken. If I click "yes" or "no", both give me the same result and don't actually move anything or delete anything. But with BB it's different issue. I load up a game, take a screenshot and exit back to BB. I get the message asking if I want to save the screenshot. If I click "Yes", it simply seems to delete the screenshot from the RA screenshot folder and I can't find it anywhere, it doesn't go to "LaunchBox\Screenshots". It also doesn't appear to be getting sent to recycle bin. If I select "No" to saving the screen shot, it simply does't move from the RetroArch screenshots folder. What's amiss here? Where can I find where these screenshots are ending up as I can't figure it out in the settings.

Hey, sorry I've only just got back on this. If you haven't yet found the solution, don't use the AHK but instead add "--nogui" to the Default Command-Line Parameters in the Emulator settings on LaunchBox.

I'm trying to find a way to create a playlist under a platform already imported. What I would like do is have platform view in BigBox menu, which then lists the games 0-Z in a list (which it currently does), but then have an option to switch the platforms games list for a Playlist/Genre type list that only includes the system selected. Is there an easy way to do this? Currently when I switch the view to Genre, it includes every system.

Something is seriously messed up somewhere. Even though last night I was able to add in ROMS for NES, the community star ratings have all disappeared, and trying to download them again does nothing. Also whenever I try to add more ROMS now, I keep getting this error and LaunchBox crashes Any help is much appreciate.

I ended up ordering 8bitdo controllers, m30 (MegaDrive) and n30 (NES) tonight. Hoping to win a bid on the sf30 (SNES) controller, I much prefer the original look over the new sn30 design. What adapters do you use for GameCube? also an adapter for N64 and Dreamcast would be handy.

I've found another issue. Once I've closed down LaunchBox.exe under the 11.0 version, I can't load it back up again, it just doesn't respond. If I close down 11.0 and try to load it back up again, it tries to install version 11.4, which is confusing. It's like the LaunchBox.exe is tied to the updater. All this is supposed to be from a clean fresh install of LaunchBox. EDIT: Possibly crisis averted! I usually would always install LaunchBox under "E:\Games\Retro\LaunchBox". I just tried creating a new location under "E:\Games\RetroGaming\LaunchBox" and installed 11.0 there. I was also able to update to 11.4 without errors and at this moment in time, it seems to be importing my games. SoI'm not sure what happened with the other location for it to start acting weirdly.

Launchbox was working perfectly fine until I did the update. I must have been on 11.3 when all this started and I attempted to update to 11.4. These are the errors in which I've received. I think I've had another also, one about not being able to update to the latest version because it's corrupt. I have uninstalled everything, restarted the PC and tried installing versions 11.3 and 11.4 numerous times, each time I can install them but I can't import games, and I can't update 11.3 to 11.4. I installed 11.0 and tried updating straight to 11.4 and again, I started getting errors. So now I've reinstalled 11.0 which is allowing me to import my ROMS without any errors. I just can't update at the moment. Are these issues known? Affecting others?

Hey, looking for some advice. I would like to buy controllers mainly for the NES, SNES and MegaDrive (not so important controllers but would also like eventually: GameCube, N64 and Dreamcast), I have a DS3 controller which is great for PS and PS2 use, but I want something more catered to the system I'm playing on. They need to be compatible with Windows 10 and RetroArch / Launchbox. I know the obvious answer is 8bitdo and I'm very tempted by these. I'm just keeping open other options I may not have heard about. These will purely be used for retro gaming, all more modern games I use DS4 controller. It doesn't have to be wireless and it can be third party or original hardware. So far, I think my options lie either with an option of three things. 1. 8bitdo controllers, M30, SF30 (or SN30), N30, these can be pretty costly though and also seem catered to more modern gaming too. 2. Other third party controllers. Has anyone got any experience with some of these third party controllers aimed at these consoles? Which ones and are they any good? 3. Original controllers, PC adapter. I believe there exists products that can be USB and have slots for the original controllers? I don't know how much compatibility this provides though, or how much input lag might be introduced, so I'm hoping someone has some experience with these. It would be ideal being able to connect more than one type of controller, and possibly multiple controllers (up to 2). Any help is much appreciated Thank you.

This collection looks very impressive! I think I need to go through and get rid of the duplicate games, any easy way you've found to do this? Also when it comes to deciding region, do you usually opt for Europe or USA?
