Good Idea ! ... But when using “Additional Apps”, I found another small problem. If I pick up a PDF or JPG file using this explorer selector, and not the viewer, it doesn’t work. I need to change the filename like this: “D:\game\manual\sample.pdf” does not work : it does not find the file “file://D:/game/manual/sample.pdf” does work : it opens automatically the viewer and the file. It is also possible to paste directly a web link : “https://test.truc.com/image.jpg” does work. So it is not straightforward, but still possible.

Hi ! I may have found by myself that the problem was coming from Retroachievement connection problem : wrong API key....* Zorget

Hi It's not a recent problem, but I noticed for more than a year ago that sometimes LB standard window freeze after editing game information. The window stay frozen, no response. When I check in the log, it always correspond to a web connection attempt to some address, with no response, like this : (I have made a translation of my French log file) 2024-11-02 09:12:06 PM FIRST CHANCE EXCEPTION: A connection attempt has failed because the connected party did not respond properly after a certain period of time, or an established connection has failed because the connecting host did not respond. [2606:4700:20::ac43:4417]:80 Also with other addresses : [2606:4700:20::681a:2fb]:80 ; [2606:4700:20::681a:3fb]:80 ; [2a06:98c1:3121::2]:80 Those addresses seem to always correspond to a CloudFlare Datacenter in San Francisco -- as far as I Know. Do you know where does this problem and connection comes from ? It is a very annoying problem which seems to happen quite randomly. Thanks, Zorget

Hello ! Any news about THOMSON computer ? There are 2 series, THOMSOM MO : https://www.mobygames.com/platform/thomson-mo/ THOMSON TO : https://www.mobygames.com/platform/thomson-to/ But I guess 1 platform for both is enough... Thanks

I have run a global spell check and corrected some other minors errors and translation (but haven't change sentences), only in the String file. I use "thewhite" previous french file in this forum (Feb. 27th). Thanks for the work ! Strings.fr-FR.resx.zip

Hello I've seen some slight misspelling in the french translation. Can I correct it and upload it here ? (for instance "temps jouer", "organier"...) Thanks for the good work done here !

Hi ! Same for me : still no game title for moderation...

Thanks for the tip! It works nice, but I noticed that neither the wikipedia nor the video link are pasted when using this method. The column are here, but empty. The other way is to directly import the XML datafile into a spreadsheet. See for instance the documentation for Libreoffice Calc : https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-ZA/text/scalc/01/xml_source.html In the last case you can directly select the columns/data you want to import.

Hello Could you please add to the database the THOMSON computer series (MO5,MO6,TO7) ? It was a popular computer in france in the 80's (due to a government funding program), based on Motorola CPU. Lots of french games at that times. See for instance : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomson_TO7 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomson_MO5 It was previously mentionned here : Thanks

I totally agree with you. And it's the same on the about box of the app.

Hi ! See also a solution to run scummvm games from Launchbox without EpicFails with a clean installed of ScummVM :

Hi ! After some trials I found a "simple" way to use a standard ScummVM installation with Launchbox and WITHOUT EpicFails tool. download and install ScummVM from scummvm.org. launch ScummVM and scan for games in your folders (see ScummVM doc for that) : a list of detected game will appear. (you can verify if they are functional) Within LaunchBox : Add manually a game in the ScummVM platform section : just right click, add a game, and put the name of the game, for instance Sam & Max. Then search in the database to obtain the related metadata. (At this point there is still no link to any file for this game within Launchbox.) Open the scummvm.ini config file with a text editor. In windows 10 it's located here: %APPDATA%\ScummVM\scummvm.ini (look on https://docs.scummvm.org/en/v2.5.1/advanced_topics/configuration_file.html for more information) At the end of this file you can find the list of your games as detected on step 2: look for the ID of the game. For Sam and Max it looks like this: [samnmax-fr] (french version here. It may vary depending on the version and language of the game) In Launching section of the game properties windows put the application path for scummVM: for instance C:\Program Files\ScummVM\scummvm.exe on windows On application Command-Line Parameters put the ID of the game : samnmax-fr (see attached screen capture) That's All Folks ! you can even get rid of the ScummVM folder in the third party folder of the Launchbox installation
