SInce the new mame 0.266 came out, i went and grabbed Jumbo godzilla, aka jumbogod.zip and figured i would test it out. I tried several different ways to import the game, dragging it in, import rom file etc, and because its an arcade rom, launchbox always brings up the mame full set import filter thing from when i imported my full set. (checkboxes etc for filtering out games not supported, unplayable in mame etc). I unchecked everything and even tried forcing duplicate import and every time i get 0 files imported. It just refuses to import the game at all. Anyone else having this problem or know any solutions?

Ahhhhhh okay i see.... The faves end up at the top of the list in bigbox under the Star icon on the quick menu (moving left and right) Thanks 😃

a little more clarification... In launchbox, it leaves the game in the list like you said, but in bigbox it is missing from the list. also where would the option you spoke of be located in the settings.

Yeah i checked before posting. It removes the game completely from the list and the only place that the game now shows up is in the favorites section (which you have to change views to even see). Only realized this when i added a game and then was scrolling the main list and couldn't find it. I also made sure that the list i was trying this in was a main platform and that it didn't appear anywhere else. Secondly... let me say I just saw your reply on the old thread .. and I only started this one because I didn't think it would be an issue since my other post was just a reply. I didn't see the age of that post when I made my reply, just that they were having the same issue. I have never really ran into an issue with the software before that didn't have a simple workaround that I could figure out easily. My apologies. This was my first post also.... i think... I may have posted once about the program crashing when you add a game single (or that may have been a bug report i posted) but.... * Just for reference to what im speaking of .... what happens is if the interface is still loading images from a rom that was just added... it will crash if you open the edit game box or try to add another rom before the box that says "launchbox downloaded blah media files" that pops up in the bottom right of the screen fades while you have the edit game or add rom window up. It still happens and hasn't been fixed. If you wait until the box that pops up on the bottom right corner fades before editing another game or adding a new rom, it works properly. Guessing it has something to do with the windows closing code. For me, when it happens i cant do anything else in the program and have to open task manager and end task. anyway.... Never really had a problem with launchbox/bigbox but I am really curious about this. So is there a way to have a visible Favorites for each platform, maybe listed at the top when you select that system, yet still have the game listed in the main list as well like so it can be seen while scrolling the list. I know you said it should be leaving the game visible, but it does remove it, for me at least. Thanks in advance.

As the topic says, when i favorite a game (any platform) it removes the game from the main list, like placing it into its own platform list and not as you would think,,,, simply adding it to a playlist and leaving it in the main list also just as adding games to a playlist does.... I mean, it might just be me... but when i favorite a game, i would think that this would be what would happen, yet when i do fav one.. it completely removes it from the main list.... doesn't really make sense as to why. Thoughts?

i am having the same issue... Freaked me out but this post explained what is happening. Why remove games from the main list when you tag them as favorite since favorite is basically a quick way to find the ones you really like... The favorites list should at like a playlist and not a separate platform.. makes no sense to me at all. You would think that this would have been fixed as an issue by now.
