I was messing around with Retroarch today installing it for the first time, and somewhere during this I noticed Launchbox will no longer maximize to the entire screen, but much larger. I'm running dual display, with a CRT set as primary, and a 1080p LCD set as secondary which I use for launchbox. If I set the LCD to primary it will maximize properly.. but it's been working fine as secondary up until now. No other windows or apps or broken in this regard, and bigbox is fine, it's just launchbox affected. Attached is pic of what it looks like maximized, and my settings file. Note in the Form size fields it is maximizing to 1542x984 (on a 1080p display). I tried deleting all the <Form***> lines but after relaunching it behaves the same. Settings.xml

Yes, import versions, good point! I'd say a lot would have been.. IIRC Australian distributers would sometimes put a sticker on the shrink-wrap, not the box itself. But to be fair, it's been at least 25 years since I purchased a shrink-wrapped Amiga game ? I guess if there is no mention of Australia (or any other country) on the box or media, then 'Europe' would be the best bet, since that where it originated from. No problem for bringing it up, I had to, this is the mighty Amiga we are talking about ? Yeh I havn't been moderating long, but have noticed the moderation queue seems to be filled with a lot of recurring submitions.. would be very beneficial if the system was a bit more 'interactive'

Yeh there's some back-and-forth happening in the Amiga section, thought a post here would be a smart idea ? It was a moderator claiming a certain game was "released in Europe only anyway" that got my attention, since I still own an Australian copy of it. Hall of Light is the best source for amiga game-related info (but of course no site ever comes with 100% guarantee). They usually state what games are worldwide or region specific releasing. Most of the PAL games made it here to Australia at least, and most of the time had exactly the same packaging/art as the UK (uk addresses on the back etc.). But to further complicate things, sometimes we got the US packaging (usually EA, Cinemaware & Sierra titles), or a bizarre combination of both UK & US releases ?

I'm seeking clarification as to what constitutes a "World" release.. specifically in regard to home computers. If we have a game that only had a PAL release, yet was an identical release in PAL countries outside of Europe.. should it be marked "Europe" or "World"? I would have thought the latter, since the game was not limited to Europe.

Ok cool, will leave them as is ? Yeh, I noticed when I removed the publisher from the title in my local DB, it downloaded media for ALL games with the same name

Hi guys. What's the official word on multiple games with the same title on the same platform, do we need to include the developer within parantheses in the title or not? I'd assume there's enough metadata like release year / developer etc. to separate the entries. I'd like to go ahead and remove developer names from game titles as I come across them, but of course I will not do this if it's going to cause some kind of merging or recognition error
