Wow nothing huh? I've tried changing my theme. Some themes don't have an option to sort by rating. But even the ones that do - they won't sort. In fact it doesn't matter what I try to sort by. I can sort by genre or developer or anything. Same behavior. The screen goes blank for a second like it is re-sorting and then re-drawing, but when the list comes back it remains in alphabetical order. Happens with every platform, too. Whether it has 10 games or 500.

I am on Launchbox android version 1.20. Using a retroid pocket 5. No matter what sorting method I choose, the games stay in alphabetical order. This is a newish problem - previously this worked as expected, although I'm not sure exactly when it got wonky - at least a version ago. I do install beta updates when it asks, if that matters. For example I like to sort by the Star Rating. By default games are sorted by title, and in the displayed info they do not show the star rating at all. Previously, when working correctly, I'd choose "Star Rating" as the sorting method, and Launchbox would then display the rating along with the other info, and sort the game list by that rating. NOW when I choose sort by Star rating, the rating WILL display, but the games remain sorted alphabetically. No matter which sorting method I choose, the app looks like it is doing something (screen blanks for a second like it is sorting) but the games remain sorted by title no matter what. Additionally, both Launchbox Windows (v13.22) and Android show that I am "in sync" however my play times from my android device are not coming over to windows like they should. This one is more random though - some games work fine. For example I played Earthworm Jim (Sega CD) and Zelda 2 (NES) the other day. The Earthworm Jim play time has synced in Launchbox Windows, but Zelda 2 still shows 0 play count and play time. I previously played and beat Zelda 1 and it also shows no play time. Other NES games do show play times though. Any ideas? Is there anything like "sweeping" I could do to maybe root this out? Like can I uninstall and reinstall launchbox Android without having to set everything up again? Or maybe there's a setting I'm missing, or a file I could delete that the app would recreate and fix the bug? Thanks!

Depending on the version of Android, I've been able to get KEGS working as a custom emualtor. My S22 Ultra (which is Android 14) doesn't work (won't even install the app) but my Tab S6 tablet (Android 12) and my Note 9 (Android 11) both work. I had to set up KEGS FIRST - putting the ROMs where it wants them to be, them import them in to Launchbox from that location. You can't search for the app, but a direct link still works. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.froop.app.kegs

THANK YOU!! This worked for me, too: re-importing games without full romset checked - even though it is a full set (2010 in my case).

I see there is a 1.12 beta thread but I didn't think I was using any betas and had a prompt to update to the latest version so I did. If this should be in that thread though my apologies. On doing that, all of my emulators were reset to default. I had manually set them all up (most to side loaded retroarch-64, a few customs) previously and after the update they were ALL reset to the default play store Retroarch (which I don't even have installed). Additionally, since the update, time tracking no longer seems to work. I remember before the update, I forgot to quit retroarch once and when I went back to launchbox it said I had played for 12 hours. This wasn't right so I chose the delete (or whatever it says) option. Then the update happened. Since then I no longer get any dialog box after I play telling me my time (although the option to show me that dialog is selected in options) and on desktop launchbox it does not show that I've play anything - even though sync is on across all devices. I'm probably doing something wrong but since this all seemed to coincide with the new version I figured it could also be relevant. Thanks for any info/help.

I'm afraid I can't help you - but I am having the same issue so I can add to the "noise". Really I just want to use the same setup for my regular Sega CD games (retroarch) but there are no default emulators listed - only custom and I have no idea how to set up retroarch that way (I've done it for a few others though!). I tried moving the 32x CD game files to the regular sega CD folder but that didn't work - they don't show up at all. I suppose it isn't the end of the world, there's literally 6 games for Sega CD 32X, and they are all mediocre AND available elsewhere. But it should be possible to just have this set up to have retroarch as the default (like most others) and problem solved.
