Another way might be to allow text / data / game names to show just the first X letters (like show max 30 letters) and the the rest of the name could be revealed by selecting the game or maybe pulling the dividers of the fields

OH yes, that would make my (default view=list view) Launchbox a bit better. Editing column width and being able to save that, is a thing that I have asked before. Because some game names (and other content) are Very Long, and when I scroll down the list, the column resizes after the length of the games names... the column gets so wide, I can hardly see anything else. In some frontends saving the column width works fine, I guess it will be easy to make an option for each column to have a user chosen size. Like stay fixed in the chosen width, when I drag it narrower, and later restart. 😊 erling1000

The issue is finally gone, after upgrading to LB 13.14 🙂

No, I'm only running on a laptop. Windows 11, and now LB 13,8.

Others have this one? The last many versions (can't remember when it happened first) I have an error when opening LB... the vertical scrollbar is missing in list view (which I always use). A way to get it back is choosing view > Images view and then view > List view. Now I use LB 13.7b4 on windows 11. Bye 🙂

Hi For a while I had this: Boot up LB in list view (I only use this and not BB) Horizontal Scrollbar is missing in list view window. It only shows up if I select Images View and then return to List View. Anyone else? Or knows whats wrong? It's LB 13.6 🙂

FIXED with new beta 👍🏼😊

Can not make the Platform Icon for Nintendo Game & Watch appear. Guessing it’s the & sign in the platform name. Did rename the platform and the icon, but still no success. Anyone else?

😁 fantastic 👍🏼

Thanks 😊 but I’m updating as well from Mame 0227 to 0250, so I’m doing a Full Import. So will that overwrite my Metadata or not? And how do I keep them safe? Is there a folder I need to backup? Or a setting I should uncheck 😬

Hi 😊 Yeah - just dropped my HDD and it died. Did a backup on my second HDD a year ago 🙄 So I’m reimporting all mame games in the Full way (can’t remember the right terms now. Last time I did like this, I ended up losing all my Metadata, and I don’t want that again. Have been spending many hours on inputting my own Metadata in Launchbox, so the fields doesn’t show what I could import, but my own data. Very important for me to keep. My Launchbox and MAME folder are on my SSD (C-drive) - only my roms were on the external (D-drive). Should I backup a folder in Launchbox and then copy-overwrite a new one after Full import? Just to be sure? And would there be a setting I could uncheck to prevent loss of Metadata? I would like both answers if possible 😃 Oh yeah, and would keeping my favourites be a part of this solution? Greetings, to all of you 🤓

Sorry for late answer, been busy. Thanks for answering 🙂

Hi... Is LB made so the parent MAMEgame decides if MAME High Scores Badge is shown in the clone games too, in listview? In my LB I see the badge set for Repulse and all of its clones, even if most of the clones doesn't have the headline High Scores next to Overview and related games... OR Is it just because no-one have yet made a high score in these clones? I'm not that good yet. How does it work? Greetings

Some thoughts: The mentioned games feature a Hitachi H something CPU. And MAME warns me they have flaws in the emulation of graphics (Aqua Rush) or timing (DoDonPachi ones). But still the difference in launching via LB or MAME is significant …

Hi neil9000 and others If I get what you say, my system is to slow to run the MAMEgames like dfkbl and others with same driver, when launched from LB. Becuse of 2,4 vs 4.0 gHz? But when I play it in just MAME, I don’t close LB just minimize LB like when I launched it out of LB. Won’t the demands to my processor speed be the same, when the same programs are open? LB minimize when games are launched vs. I minimize. LB and MAME are open and LB is minimized while I play, both ways. Is there something LB does when launching that really slows my system? Does LB monitor / interact with MAME while I’m playing or just pause when minimized after launching? And I have no problems running DoDonPachi 3, (my question was about an earlier DoDonPachi game) which features the same or better graphics, speed and clouds of bullets (they are bullet hell shooters) and made by the same company (Cave). Greetings 😊
