No worries my friend! Still looking forward to it, but no rush.

They look awesome @RetroHumanoid. Many, many thanks. I'm in the process of getting them uploaded to the auto-downloader.

Woooo! Downloading.

Thanks; fixed for the next beta (or the official release).

Beta 13 is out now with the following: Updated Brazilian Portuguese translation Added missing startup and shutdown LaunchBox plugin events Still looking good for a Monday release.

Everything has changed for 8.6; the MAME games now use the MAME data for most fields. All of the MAME games will be listed under Arcade, or whatever platform you choose when you import. Yes, if you delete your arcade games (the playlists don't matter), you will lose your game ratings and favorites. It should work just fine to keep your MAME games and run the wizard to update them, but it's not the cleanest solution. One option would be to create manual playlists that contain your games at different ratings and/or favorites, and then you can re-rate them and re-favorite them with the playlists after recreating all your games with the wizard.

You're going town @RetroHumanoid!

Updated for the next beta.

After 8.6 comes out on Monday, it will be recommended to re-import. The good news is that the new MAME full-set importer should make it a breeze instead of a hassle like the previous version. You don't have to re-import, but you'll get the best results if you do. The best way to do it is to delete the Arcade platform, and the playlists. The easiest way to batch delete the playlists is to just go to the LaunchBox\Data\Playlists folder and delete the playlist XML files while LaunchBox is closed. Otherwise, you have to delete them one by one.

I believe it. I am really excited for those vids.

Sweet.

Ah, that's pretty sweet. How about you stop teasing and share your fricken theme. I kid, I kid.

Wow, very cool; that's a lot of customizations. I probably wouldn't use it as-is, but it'd be neat to see it regardless. If you ever want to upload it somewhere, I'd love to tinker with it. No worries if not.

@RetroHumanoid By the way, have you shared your version of Unified with all your tweaks? I'd love to see it; I bet the best version would be a combo of bits and pieces of all of them.

Looking amazing @RetroHumanoid.

Ah, okay. To be honest I didn't know about LaunchBoxStartupComplete; I'm guessing I just need to add that in. Hopefully I can do that before the 8.6 release. LaunchBoxMainForm, however, will be completely obsolete (it'll always be null when LaunchBox.Next is running). I'll probably add something to replace it here soon.

Wooo! I think I'm going to like those a lot. Have you played with the Unified Redux 1.1 or 1.2 theme yet? I love how those backgrounds you put together are looking.

Ah, maybe something went haywire with the download. Try going into your LaunchBox\Metadata folder and deleting Metadata.xml, Mame.xml, and Files.xml while LaunchBox and Big Box are closed. Then just start it up and it should put new ones there that work properly.

Very cool Padou! By the way, I tried to fix the color of the text in your post but it's not working for some reason lol.

Very nice.

Beta 12 is out now with the following: Updated Brazilian Portuguese translation thanks to @Cauptain Updated Italian translation thanks to @dukeemu Additional video download priority options for @harryoke and @uv777bk videos Added a Box3DOrNormalImagePath property to games for future versions of the Unified Redux theme (and any other theme that wants to use it, just prioritizes 3D Boxes and then resolves to boxes if not found) Reverted the game controller handler code back to beta 6, which had the most optimizations; it's been a confusing mess trying to figure out what the most performant controller code is Planning to put out the official release on Monday.

Okay, if you can zip up and PM me your LaunchBox\Data folder, I'll take a look to see what might be going on.

What version did you update from? Did you check your LaunchBox\Data\Playlists folder for the playlist XML files?
