Baggio

Not a bug but a request that I suggested a long time ago on Bitbucket but I didn't get a response and it seems like a really easy thing to implement. I know it's not the place to ask but my post on bitbucket has been lost in time lol Please add "Open Video Folder" to the other options in the right-click File management options 😁

It's some I made myself and a mis-match of packs I curated, so they weren't scraped from LB. Mainly it was all the games with special characters that weren't being picked up because of the lack of the _ conversion and when you have 4-5 per game they soon add up.

Just an update @superrob3000 plugin worked flawlessly and now all the files not matching on 13.14 now all get picked up. Note to self, start naming all files after the game title 😂

@superrob3000 wow thanks, I'll give it a go asap Just to give the devs an idea on what this new name matching has done on some platforms I randomly tried. So this is missing media I got from the cleanup tool in 13.12 and then 13.14 Platform - 13.12 - 13.14 NDS - 2 - 58 NES - 0 - 248 GBA - 0 - 37 Wii -13 - 495 Megadrive - 0 - 54 PS1 - 1 - 56 PS2 - 3 - 1311

So i have a question regarding my missing images. I ran an image cleanup and have way too many files that I'd have to rename that it's not finding now due to the new matching. So going off my last post the previous version found all these images fine so would I break anything if I ran the 13.12 Setup.exe (I don't have 13.13 for some reason) overwriting 13.14, then ran the Image Renamer Plugin to change the files to the games titles and then reinstall 13.14? Alternatively, should i just wait for the next beta if you are adding the 3rd step @faeran mentioned?

Not a bad idea but i also have a problem with the clean up media. For some reason, it picks up all the images i have in the arcade - controls information saying they are not in use but they are and I'm not sure why. Thinking about it actually, it may be because they are used in a pause screen.

I'm also missing a lot of images and videos now the logic has changed. With the title Heavy Fire: Afghanistan and the image/video named Heavy Fire - Afghanistan it used to be picked up now it isn't. Just like Ford Racing: Full Blown with files named as Ford Racing Full Blown and AAAHH!!! Real Monsters named as Aaahh Real Monsters Renaming them properly with Heavy Fire_ Afghanistan and Ford Racing_ Full Blown obviously picks them up but it would be a massive headache trying to find ones that are named incorrectly 😂 Can't we just have it just to ignore special characters in the title when file matching or would that cause more problems?

I have a little issue and once again it's due to my scaling in Windows. As I use a 4K TV I have the scaling at 250% (recommended is 300%) and it cuts off the save button at the bottom

This looks like an absolute godsend for me, if I've read correctly whats its doing lol. I have come to find out that I have to reconfigure my controls for the gamepads and lightgun every time I load up Teknoparrot after I've shut down my PC which you can imagine is an absolute pain. I was looking at modifying a script posted in the Gun4ir discord for Supermodel that picks up the device IDs and changes the corresponding values in the ini file but looking through the TP XMLs it may be beyond my scope.

Any help on this guys or some workaround?

Hi guys, I have recently moved my large collection of manuals over to my NAS and am symlinking them back to the root launchbox manuals folder but get this error when I try and view them. I have tried turning off the built-in function in the options but that opens Acrobat and it doesn't load them full screen like the BB one does. Any ideas what I can do to get them to work?

Hi mate, would it be possible for you to upload the template for the controls/shortcuts image you made?

I have a solution but can't quite execute it lol So I have to load the game in borderless and then press F3 for it to go fullscreen. Now I am using a script in the running section in the emulator but am struggling to get something like, #IfWinActive, %MFMEWindow% F3:: ; Press F3 key Send, {F3} return added to it and working for it to go fullscreen after it closes the splash screen and notes. Heres @fruity script that im trying to add it too. SetTitleMatchMode, 2 WindowClass = TLayoutNotes MFMEWindow = MFME.exe TimerCloseWindow: IfWinExist, ahk_class %windowclass% { WinClose, ahk_class %windowclass% } SetTimer, TimerCloseWindow, -4000 return #IfWinActive Esc:: WinCLose, ahk_exe %MFMEWindow% Return

A little update is that it appears to be something to do with the backdrops as when I enable "random backdrops" it breaks a lot more games 😂 Also choosing anything other than fullscreen in load mode and they work as well so i'm guessing if i can figure out how to change the monitor size from the defaults of 1538 x 864 i may be able to get them all working.

Has anyone else come across this type of error? This is happening for a few games and the addresses change slighty, this error was for Monopoly Hot Property. The game runs fine when ran through MFME but I get the errors when it's being launched through Launchbix for some reason. I've tried adding MFME as an exception in DEP and deleting and re-scanning the DB but neither had any effect.

I just did an image clean-up with the image clean up function and after it finished I moved the files and I had a look through my platforms to see it it removed any images it shouldn't and i found some images were missing. Now the strange thing is the box backs and spines are named Dragon_s Lair II _ Time Warp for example and are shown still in LB and werent moved with the clean up tool but the box front which is named exactly the same and was picked up as not in use and move/deleted. This has happened with quite a lot of files with a dash in the filename and with the underscore in the images filename. Just to put it out there image naming on Launchbox is the bain of my life, i don't know how much time i have spent remaining files 😂 Can we not have Launchbox ignore commas, hyphens, dashes and apostrophes in titles/filenames so it matches them, instead of having to use underscores in the image file?

👍

I forgot to add, for anyone that's using the PDF to JPEG batch file I posted you can edit the quality and density settings (-quality and -density) as needed to suit your requirements and to make the file size smaller. In this, it's set to the highest quality (100) and a density of 300x300 DPI.

Here you go. Extract First Page PDF.zip Below is a work in progress but it converts the folder of PDFs into JPEGS. For this to work Ghostscript needs to be installed https://ghostscript.com/releases/gsdnld.html PDF to JPEG.zip I'll try to get these into one batch file at some point.

I think i may have it actually. I just need to check "Extract ROM archives before running" in each emulator and set copy in the "All" extraction settings to achieve what I'm after and that's all there is to it.

I've only just come across this and it sounds like exactly what i need for my NAS. I'm struggling to get it working the way I want though. From reading your release notes we are able to cache non-archived files and that's what I'm trying to set up. Basically, I just want it to copy the game from my NAS to my LB SSD on launch, so do I need to set up each emulator in the extraction settings or can I have one setting for them all? At the minute I can't get it to cache anything, because i can't get my head around it lol
