I get this too in LaunchBox - had it before, but not for a long time. It came back with an update, I guess. Got it some betas ago, I am now on LB 12.7-5. ... when I browse or play in LB the other viewed preview videos sound keep looping, and it wont even stop before 5 seconds after LB is closed, it keeps looping, 5 seconds when viewing just Windows Desktop. That’s a weird bug.

OK, thanks for your 2 inputs 😊 You may be right, I just didn’t think there was such a big difference when launching with or without LB. Out of curiosity: Is it possible for you to check the difference on these games on your system(s), launched via LB / just MAME. It’s OK if not possible 😊

Anyone?

Hi When I choose some MAME games that I guess have “heavy” demands to my pc, they perform bad through Launchbox but fine through just MAME. Games like Aquarush.zip and dfkbl.zip (DoDonPachi Dai-Fukkatsu Black Label) perform 100% when I check FPS via pressing F11 in just MAME, but if I choose the game through Launchbox the FPS are as low as 30-50%. Normally games perform fine through LB. Any ideas why such a dramatic slowdown? OBS Studio isn’t running. My setup: Lenovo Gaming Laptop Intel i5 9300HF 2,4gHz CPU 8 GB RAM 500 GB SSD Hardrive, but roms are on an extern HDD Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 Windows 11 Home Launchbox 12.6 Premium Mame 0.227

OK, thanks sundogak 👍 nice to know. Maybe I’ll look into adding it, is there a guide somewhere?

Hi. My first time in this subforum… When I import the Future Pinball table “Hell” (import roms) the metadata downloaded is for Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (and they are nowhere like clones) both Youtube videolink, notes and Wikipedia link, and the game name and metadata. Maybe someone can correct 😊 Greetings

Well I tried the forced import like you said, and it helped, even though the game wasn’t previously imported. I searched before, and Cover Girl.fpt was imported, but Cover Girl (Keeney ‘47).fpt (not a clone) was not, but forcing it made the day. Does LB not read all the filename, like the Keeny-part or does it find the game name from the emulator instead of using the filename? In LB they both only appear as Cover Girl. Should I deselect / untick “Search for game information in the local metadata database (recommended)”? The other game I used to confirm was bad in a way. Have a nice day 😊

👍 yes, thar’s it. I always close LB by cross in right corner and then reboot windows, but new LB behaviour / setting in taskbar system area (little LB i on) was the thing that did LB is not closed all the way on the Cross any more 😊

🧐 Just found out I can’t do this any more: (import single roms, last import was 11th of nov. 2021) Tools > Import > Rom files... > Next > Add Files > (locating file) Open > Next > (choosing platform) Next > (choosing emulator) Next > Use the files in their current location > (tick Search for game information in the local database (recommended) Next > (Check None) Next > (only tick Manual) Next > (only tick Look for PDF files for use as game manuals) Next > ... then no game titles shows in next menu, before this the selected game showed up, and I clicked Finish, and the game was installed. Now it says 0 games were imported successfully, and before it always said 1 game was ... Weird 😯

C-Beats: You were a few minuts faster than I was my self... I checked up. Not the install process. 😊 When I close down LB and reopens no error. But when I reboot Windows 10 (and that I also did before each new beta) the settings are partially gone. Settings in top menu Badges -> Show Badges remain, but Badges -> Game Attributes -> Enable Favorite (and the other I selected, like Completed, Broken, Unplayed and MAME High Scores) disappear / reset when rebooting Windows. And right click top tiles of LB Listview choosing the things I want LB to “Show” doesn’t reset setting “Show Badges” when rebooting Windows. I tried rebooting windows 5 times in a week including two Beta updates and every time thenmentioned settings reset.

Hmm. It seems every time I update betas since badge support in LB list view, it forgets the settings and shows no badges? 😊

With the new beta LB12.5B2 this error is gone for me 👍😊

Hi After installing LB 12.5B1 I can’t record OBS videos of Future Pinball gaming. Arcade and SNES gaming I still can do, but not Future Pinball. I use newest FP and have done 100s of gameplay videos, as I can’t download them from LB DB or EmuMovies, like games from other platforms. Last video I did was on 9th of nov. 2021. Can’t tell wich version of LB it was, but I always update betas etc. It has worked for a long time. I update OBS when prompted. I use (and have used for a year or more) default command line parameter for FP emulator: “/open %romfile% /play /exit” as adviced in this forum. When entering the Pinball Table / Game in LB, OBS starts up, FP loads the table and I try to start and stop the recording. When exiting the table / game, I used to be offered the option to associate the video with the game, like I still do in other platforms. But not after FP, now. Anyone else got this? 🧐😊

UBig error? How can this be? I looked at global ranking total on mame leaderboards, and saw something that might be a flaw? The player (name hidden) has 2 incredible records (1000 times as much as #2) in Solomons Key and Gunbird. I checked on youtube (view video url in details) and saw Gunbird longplay video ... in 30 minutes the youtubeplayer gets 1.500.000 That is 50.000 a minute. And if (name hidden) should play like the other guy, he would have to play a very long game, like 37 days in one sitting, to obtain 2,661,195,422 points (#2 scored 1,462,429) In Solomons Key a youtubeplayer made a video called “Solomon’s Key - Arcade No Miss - 10,647,094 pts” he completes the game meaning solves the final round, so I guess it is hard to obtain 2,151,686,160 pts (more than 200 times as much?) like PEZKING does (#2 has a score at 664,750). I hope you don’t see my question as bad, I don’t know how it happened, but I think it must be wrong, maybe an error, who knows. ( I too had to report a much to high highscore I made, in a game that made an error, AFAIR.) Maybe I just dont know s... about the 2 games, then I’m sorry ?

Hi I record my own gameplay videos of Future Pinball tables on Launchbox, using OBS. In listview (never use BB) I have videos of arcade games (imported from EmuMovies) and they work fine, but often my pinball videos (50 seconds) loop to long, so the sound keep on looping when viewing another table, playing another gamer viewing an arcade game, Only way to stop it is exit out of LB. And even then the sound continues to loop for maybe 5-10 seconds more, in windows desktop. Anyone tried that? I use newest LB beta 11.10- beta 5 (and newest Future Pinball and updated windows 10 64 home) but this has been going on as long as I have been recording by myself, for a few months. EDIT: The trigger seems to be when I edit metadata in a table (the field Rating), then OK the menu and go back to viewing the table in listview, then the video sound keeps looping on the table, even when I change table or play or exit. EDIT 2: And it doesn’t happen when Bulk-editing, only normal edit metadata. It doesn’t matterwhat name the videos have, the default or the full filename. It doesn’t matter if the video files are in recordings or in another folder. EDIT 3: solved by the new beta version 11.10b9 Happy Holidays ?

Oh, and Retro808 (or anybody) can you tell me what’s wrong here? MAME Darius choppy ONLY in LB No one seems to know... not answering for about a month anyhow ?? It only happens when launching through LB. Via MAME (not using LB) there is no problem. Bye ?

Oh, that was a nice and simple solution. Thank you, Retro808 ??

Hi ? I have been using LB for 6 months, and last week I helped my buddy installing LB (11.9) with a full MAME (0227) set. I have been using a lot of frontends all the way from Arcade@home, MAME32 something, Emuloader, MAMEUIfx... And I like all games are visible in my listview, so my install of LB + MAME is with every game as individual games, not bundlet in parents and clones (cannot remember the name of the function, where you rightclick parentgames to choose a clone game). My friend wanted the recommended install so now he right clicks to find clones if needed. We compete in Roc'n Rope this week, and he noticed his list had the clone (Kosuka version) in the front on the list, and the parent (Konami if I recall correctly) is to be found when he right clicks. Did I do something wrong, when installing his version of LB and MAME? Can he change it without reinstalling? Sorry if this is to noobish ? Greetings ?

Maybe you know what’s up with this: When I launch Darius via LB it plays choppy, like every second there are frames that are missing and enemies warp a bit forward and then fly on. No other games do that. It’s not an old pc. And when I run Darius directly from MAME, the problem is not present. Something must be wrong in LB? Using newest software: LB 11.9-2 Premium with videoclips from emumovies and MAME64 0227 and new romset. Greetings

Thank you, no sweat. ? all worked out well ? Wishes for a Happy New Year to you. ?

Hi As far as I get it, the video states that joining Planetgeekdoom for a month (5$+ VAT) will let me have the discount coupon for emumovies. Two days ago I payed the 5+ for a month. How do I get the coupon? Nothing shows up... I sent a message and an email 2 days ago, but nothing more happened. I guess it’s christmas business, but maybe I missed a point? So: not trying to be negative, but how do I get the discount before 2021 starts and the offer stops? ? besides that, merry X-mas greetings erling1000

Thank you, just what I didn't do. Now it works. ?? But it doesn't seem very consistent on the order of the screenshots? Even after I did set the order, the images is more or less in random order, then I refresh selected images and they are rearranged in right order, and then I click another game and return to the first one and the order is jumbled again...

Hi I use Future Pinball in LB Premium, newest Beta (11.7.2) in listview. I tried to add Flyer to a table's images, but it doesn't show in game details. I downloaded Flyer from IPDB and converted it to png, named it after the rom / table. Tried both when importing and after that Refresh Images. When importing I checked Flyer front, Flyer back, and other images. But not showing flyer, only other images (High Score, Game Play, Title shot, Cabinet). Any Idea? Greetings

Well I used an hour switching settings etc, and found that it suddenly worked, so I'm guessing a conflict after all ?

? Sorry, I'm new in this. Now I rediscovered how to change themes. Yes Max Players show up in Default theme. In Lambda beta 1.1 it doesn't.
