Fantastic! Thank you very much for pointing that out to me! ☺️ This is gonna be very helpful! Edit: dang, over 8GB in the updates folder?! Does that mean I can just empty that folder without any risk for the good functioning of the software?

I'm really running out of space on my hard drive where LB/BB is installed. Plus it seems every time I start BB and browse a few games it eats what little space I had away. The other day I had like 2-3 gigs left prior to starting BB, and when I stopped using it I had 0 bytes left on the hard drive... which caused LB to give me an error and shut itself down when I tried using it after BB btw. Please someone tell me it's possible to tell LB/BB to go look for the (platform/category/playlist) videos in another folder on another hard drive, somehow. I have 46,237 games in total (even though, the majority of it are just different versions of a mame game) and LB/BB itself eats plenty of space (I'm at over 70GB currently). Even if I keep moving games to another HDD to free up space like I've been doing lately, I'll never have enough space on this 1TB HDD where LB/BB is, and the 2TB one won't cut it either. I'll probably have to buy a new one with at least 4TB, if not more, to store those thousands of platform videos, video themes and videos for each game.

What is "Playstation Underground" for?

Thanks, that worked great to remove the fade-out of the wheel of games, alas that doesn't change anything about the fade-outs of the wheels that come before, the platforms, playlists wheels or w/e they're called. I still find myself staring at an almost completely black screen with the exception of the date and hour. Just to be sure, we are supposed to only delete the lines that come after <!-- FADING WHEEL --> but leave the line <!-- FADING WHEEL --> intact, correct? Do we leave just 1 line of blank space after it?

You're absolutely awesome if you do! I was starting to wonder why even some default icons were missing. And since we're talking bugs, how about this one? Whenever I try to start "Manage", "Platforms", LB displays this (see pic): That "F:\Games\GOG Galaxy\Epic Games\HorizonChaseTurbo" path it's trying to look for, for whatever reason, doesn't exist anymore. I had to move the game (and all the others) to another drive called G: and F: is now where my Google Drive is. I don't get why LB looks for that when I just try to manage my platforms...

So we can add icons in the Launchbox/Images/Platform Icons/Playlists folder, but they won't be displayed for users of the free version of Launchbox, is that right? Because, I just gave it a try and renamed a few icons I downloaded on the LB forum exactly the same as the playlist's names, but they're nowhere to be seen on the Launchbox UI. If it's a premium feature I'm fine with it of course, it's just, like I mentioned above the "Ball & Paddle Games", "Board & Card Games" and "Run & Gun Games" categories, which are not categories I created but LB's default ones, don't have an icon on the UI over here, when their icons are in the aforementioned folder. I don't get why they don't get displayed...

Guys, although I love the idea of the icons, overall it looks half-a$$ed over here because there are many missing, resulting in many blanks in that column on the left side of the Launchbox UI. I tried to find a way to fill in the gaps but to no avail, so I suppose it's a premium feature only. All right, I understand. But IMHO the premium feature should be altering the size of the default icons. We should still have default icons for each category on the free version of Launchbox, or the right to set at least one (and multiple for the premium version for ex.?). Here are the notable icons that are missing: In the ARCADE category: -Ball & Paddle games -Board & Card games -Candy Cabs (custom category) -Global VR PC-based (custom category) -Konami PC-based (custom category) -MUGEN (custom category.. I think?) -Namco ES3 (custom category) -Raw Thrills (custom category) -Run & Gun games -Sega Europa-R (custom category) -Sega Lindbergh (custom category) -Sega Nu (custom category) -Sega PC-based (custom category) -Sega RingEdge (custom category) -Sega RingWide (custom category) -Taito NesicaXLive (custom category) -Teknoparrot (custom category) -Toaplan Classics (custom category but should've been there from the get-go tbh) In the COMPUTERS category: They're all here as far as I'm concerned, but the online stores like Steam, GOG and Epic games store all have the windows icon, and they should have their own. Plus Windows icon copy & pasted like that doesn't look good. In the CONSOLES category: -NEC PC Engine CD-ROM² -Nintendo Super CD (custom category. Yeah that peripheral that ended up becoming the PlayStation, y'know...) In the PORTABLES category: -Nintendo's Game & Watch On top of that I miss plenty of icons for all my categories I created like "Mature games", "Laserdisc games", "Play later", "Popular" (favorites), and all the ones dedicated to a particular series of games in an IP like The Simpsons, Mortal Kombat, Silent Hill, Ghostbusters, Looney Tunes, Star Wars, etc. And I don't suppose the guys who are in charge of the development of the LB/BB software can come up with icons for all the categories each one of us is going to create based on our taste, so how about letting us add at least one icon, even in the free version of LB? Pretty please? Wouldn't that make for a nice addition in a future software update?

Could anyone make a dogtag, or silver ring as some call it, that reads "candy cabs", please? Like, y'know, those arcade cabinets from Japan, preferably with one in the background (like this https://www.pngegg.com/en/png-eszsr ), slightly greyed out, and some nice purple & white & w/e colors for the font, for example?

Got it! Finally, problem resolved! Thanks a lot for your help!

I found the .xml file in LB folder's "Data" folder, in the "Playlists" folder, so it's still there, but just won't show up in my LB interface. Maybe there's something I can alter in the .xml file to make it show up? Like "<IncludeWithPlatforms>false</IncludeWithPlatforms>" type "true" instead of "false" maybe? I don't get why no box is ticked by default in the parents tab, it's so easy to forget ticking one and just lose it...

If I click on the three horizontal lines at the top left corner of the LB screen and choose "View" then "Arrange by", I have: "Play Count" "Play Mode" "Play Time" But no "Playlist"...

Is it possible to retrieve a playlist you've made in Launchbox, when you've forgotten to tick a box (like "root" or w/e) in the "parents" tab?

The black & gold Neo Geo AES silver ring would look dope if only it wasn't that dark. It would be nice if anyone who worked on it could retouch it a bit. On a side note, anyone has a GOG games silver ring to spare, please? I found Steam, Epic Games (it doesn't say "store" though), but no GOG anywhere, it seems.

I'm installing American Laser Games in Launchbox by way of emulating the 3DO personally, from the looks of it it's a lot easier. I don't know if they're perfectly 100% arcade-accurate ports though...

Thanks!

Yeah I know, I had to create a folder named "INI" inside the folder "MAME" inside the folder "SYSTEM" inside my Retroarch folder, then create the .ini file by myself and basically just type "bios 16" so I would have access to the universal bios v.4.0 (which is number 16 in the list of bios in MAME) that would let me turn the Neo Geo MVS games into their AES version in Retroarch Mame, but pressing A+B+C+D+Start at the same time during the 2secs the bios splash screen appears is a chore. I think my DualShock 4 is busted. I haven't tried using Final Burn Neo for my Neo Geo games yet. What extra-something-special does it bring to the table compared to MAME? The point of using the Retroarch MAME core for me is to allow me to have my separate list of Neo Geo AES games, aside from my list of Neo Geo MVS games. The latter run with standalone MAME, so I had to find a solution so my Neo Geo AES games would launch as that, AES games, not MVS. Plus, I get to play Neo Geo games with plenty of different shaders like the one I mentioned above, and all the little QOL improvements Retroarch offers, like just having to press my DS4 Home button to display the options I need, including save state, which is better than simulating the NG Memory Card in MAME.

OMG, can I get a big cup of what the f*ck... you did it! It works! What did you do??? I went through that .cfg file a few times to check and re-check it was properly done, based on what that dude in that video was showing: but with always the same result. I'm very curious what I did wrong. Wish I were at your place to buy you a beer! Thanks mate! The only small problem now is that after making a new bezel from the one posted above by removing the frame of the screen, I have black bars on both sides, and to my knowledge there's no solution for altering the size of the screen in Retroarch Mame. Or am I missing something again? Changing the resolution doesn't seem to have any impact on the size of the game screen either... Is there any chance you may consider doing what you did with this one too? With this new shader I just found, crt-fast-bilateral-super-xbr.glslp (in "denoisers") my Neo Geo games shine again like on the day they came out! Give it a try and come back to tell me! art2.cfg

I've been trying to use that particular bezel for Retroarch to use with my Neo Geo games (using the Mame core, if that's important), but to no avail. Yeah I know about the name in the .cfg file that has to be exactly the same as the .png file of course, but still, it doesn't work. I did try altering the above .png file in GIMP and removed the screen frame, leaving only the bezel, to see if making really my own bezel would change something, but nah. At this point, if anybody can make it work, I'll be thankful I get anything at all, with screen frame or not. I really don't get it, any bezel I find online usually works fine with my Retroarch games (SNES, NES, etc). I do get the problem of the bezel being too small for the size of the game screen, and that too is a problem I can't wrap my head around with, but at least they get displayed. Not this one for w/e reason. Go figure. SNK_NEO_GEO.cfg

Thank you so much for that cool Neo Geo AES bezel, it makes playing the Rolls Royce of consoles' games even better! I've been trying to use this as a bezel, either on MAME or Retroarch, just copying the lay file or cfg file from other bezels, but to no avail. On MAME I just get some grey scratch-like stuff on the screen, and Retroarch nothing shows up. Is there any chance you could make a bezel like the NG AES one you made for Retroarch, by using this .PNG right here, please?

OK hum... I suppose I'll never get any reply to my question... Here's hoping I get one about this though: how come downloading bezels (when dl bezels actually works then, that is, for all consoles but the neo geo aes...) takes so much space on the hard disk? I just downloaded a bezel for Sonic 3 on Genesis right now and couldn't tell why it was taking that long (it says something like "Downloading Bezel Project ISA" or something) and kept waiting for a while again, and to my surprise the size of my Launchbox folder has gone from 64,9GB to 66,7GB...?! Just for one bezel?! And the bezels are found in the Retroarch folder and certainly don't weigh anywhere near 800MB. I could do with some explanation here, because I had a couple GB more on my HDD before I started downloading (just a few) bezels in Launchbox and I'm now down to 1,52GB! Why is the size of Launchbox swelling like this please? I'm seriously running out of disk space!

Hi everyone, Since I believe the previous LB update, Launchbox can now find and download and install bezels for games which have Retroarch & MAME as emulators (I know Retroarch isn't an emulator per se, but w/e), and I've been able to download a handful of those for a couple of GB and Genesis games, and I have to say it's really one of the best features that's ever been implemented in LB. It's awesome guys! But for some reason, not matter what game, it never finds any bezel for my Neo Geo games over here. Is it the same for everybody or is it just me? I tried everything. Originally my Neo Geo AES games used to run with MAME like my Neo Geo MVS games (and the rest of the arcade games) and I thought Launchbox only looked for bezels if the emulator was Retroarch (I still don't get the "system bezel/Theme bezel" screen after the media download with my MAME games for some reason), so I switched to Retroarch MAME for my Neo Geo AES games, and did tick "Download bezels", but regardless of whether I choose "download & overwrite" or "download but don't overwrite" or w/e after that, it seems LB is unable to get me any bezel for my NG games. Are there only a few NG games which have bezels that LB can find? If that's the case, which ones please? I was hoping LB would find at least one, then I could just replace its .png in "Gamebezels" (in "Overlays" in Retroarch folder) with this one right below to have it as my default bezel for all my Neo Geo AES games.
