Could you explain a bit about the "Installed/Not Installed/Automatic" select box change from the previous checkbox (in the Edit Game dialog)?

This should probably be put in "Nintendo Game & Watch" as it's currently the place all the dedicated handheld electronic games go. I've been arguing we need to reform this and have a properly named "Dedicated Handheld" platform as it's really difficult and confusing to know where to put devices like this, and completely unintuitive to choose "Nintendo Game & Watch" Here's one of the many threads discussing it: https://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/93971-nintendo-game-watch-database-need-to-be-fixed-by-separating-games-that-are-not-nintendo-to-their-own-category-platform/

Missing Platform in the Game Database: Mega LD / Pioneer LaserActive
dukdukgoos replied to totoro's topic in Contributions
Isn't this what you want? https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/platforms/games/229-pioneer-laseractive -
I have made an issue for it, but it's not public yet. I'll repeat it here: I think it boils down to: We need a "Platform" for misc Handheld Electronic games We need to decide if things like Nintendo Game & Watch, Tiger LCD games, Konami LCD games, etc are actually "platforms" or if they're just a brand name for similarly styled games

I'm finding that LB isn't shutting down cleanly quite often. When I shut down there's frequently a zombie process that remains active, and then when I try to restart I get a error and have to manually kill the zombie process before restarting. This has always been an infrequent problem in the past with LB, but seems to be happening more with the latest beta.

With Beta 6 when renaming a game it will rename the corresponding image files (as expected) but then if you rename it a second time it won't rename the images. This worked on previous versions.

Noticed a problem with the VLC video player option. With certain videos it displays the aspect ratio incorrectly in LaunchBox, but when playing the video directly with the VLC app it's correct. Switching to the ffmpeg player in LaunchBox plays the video correctly. A couple of example videos from MAME: Alien Crush and Amidar. You can download them here: https://adb.arcadeitalia.net/download_file.php?tipo=mame_current&codice=aliencr&entity=shortplay&oper=streaming&filler=aliencr.mp4 https://adb.arcadeitalia.net/download_file.php?tipo=mame_current&codice=amidar&entity=shortplay&oper=streaming&filler=amidar.mp4

Great, looking forward to Beta 3. On a positive note, in my build I've not seen any performance problems with Beta 2. Scrolling speed of image grid is very snappy.

MAME (Arcade) - What's New
dukdukgoos replied to JoeViking245's topic in Third-Party Applications and Plugins (Released)
Cool, so it's just that ADB hasn't set them up completely yet (Not Classified). Just wanted to make sure. I'm using the MAME Tools version of the plugin but just commented here because of the previous history. Thanks again! -
MAME (Arcade) - What's New
dukdukgoos replied to JoeViking245's topic in Third-Party Applications and Plugins (Released)
FYI, the .288 MAME update is doing the same thing as before where it doesn't show any of the latest updates. I deleted ADBcategories.json and recreated as discussed before. It shows as ADBcategories (0.288).json but still doesn't have the latest updates (there should be 200+ with this release). Perhaps a bug on the ADB side? Is it working for you? -

Yes, that fixed it. The file was dated April 8 before I deleted it. Got cached perhaps and didn't update when the data was available? In any case now I know I can delete that file if I run into this again. Thanks!
