Thanks for the report. I don't think I've heard about issues with the XP from anyone else, but it's also possible that not very many people are using that device. Do you have any options for custom Android firmwares or firmware upgrades (or downgrades)?

@Atki2022 The Odin Pro is confirmed working with this stuff, so it has to somehow be a settings issue, either in RetroArch or LaunchBox. If you've imported multiple times and multiple different sets, perhaps there could be an issue with the file paths in LaunchBox?

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll look into this soon.

It's best to start with a simple platform that does not require a BIOS like NES, and see if you can get that working properly first.

I don't have that device to test with, but from what I've heard from the community, you need to format the SD card as external storage, and not let the device use it for apps.

I see. Yeah, it would be good to know what is causing it for us too. I think the only thing I can suggest is to start stopping non-Windows services in small groups, testing each time. You can also try temporarily disabling certain apps in the Task Manager's Startup tab.

This might make it in eventually, but unfortunately it's likely to be fairly far down the list at this point, as you're the first to request it.

It makes a lot less sense on Windows than on Android, but the priority will depend on the number of people who request it. I do believe you're the first.

This is still on my list. Planning to get to it here soon.

Thanks for the report. I have those emulators on my list to review.

Sorry for the late reply. Are things working for you in 12.13?

It might be worth trying to start up in Windows Safe Mode (to prevent any additional anything from starting up) and running a test with that. If it works in Safe Mode, then you know it's a background app of some sort that's interfering. If that still doesn't work, then most often it's the result of a faulty video driver.

Sorry for the late reply. Often when this happens it's because of the use of an external scraper. Have you used any external scrapers to populate LaunchBox data? Or any external tools?

We've heard this from a couple of different people now. Thanks for the report; it's on my list to review.

There's an EmuMovies Sign In plugin? Why do you need a plugin for EmuMovies? It's hard to know what's going on there without a ton more details. So yes, it might be wise to start over. It should work out of the box with a new MAME install.

This was actually added recently in the form of the "Change ROMs Folder Path" option. But even before this you could already import ROMs from anywhere on your device.

I do plan to add some sort of a "Scan for Added ROMs" feature in the future. That sounds like it would be the best solution for this. That said, you should be able to re-import without duplicating games or deleting the platform. It should just find the new games and add them.

Okay, network drives are working on the Nvidia Shield, but I've never tried setting them up on a mobile phone or tablet. I'll put this on my list to review.

I have PS2 working just fine with AetherSX2. Is that what you're using? What emulator are you using? This could also be an issue with an export or migration process or something.

Okay, noted. Currently you can't do any kind of an "export the differences" or "sync". It always exports everything. However, you can combine different platforms from different exports together without any issues. So you don't have to export every platform every time. It sounds like you're doing something like that in your second post.

Unfortunately LaunchBox for Android doesn't support DOS games as of yet. It's on my short list to implement. Thanks for the request. It'll probably be a while before we get to stuff like that, but noted.

You can't store the setting for where the data folder is located inside of the data folder. How would it know where the data folder is located then? It's stored as a standard Android application setting.

This is on my list to review.

This depends on what device you're using. Unfortunately there are some devices that run broken/flawed versions of Android. What device are you using? I'll need a bit more information on this. If you're exporting from the desktop app, you shouldn't be using the "Import" feature on Android. Once you copy things over, and use the right folder, all your games should just be there, favorites included. Actually, it sounds like (based on your second paragraph), that you do have favorites working and they're listed first. We could add an option to show a favorites section, yes, just like Recently Played. You're the first to request it though. Consider it requested.

I've never seen it do that before. What device are you using?
