Hi guys, obviously there's some kind of strange issue with UK English support. It's odd that it's working fine for @Rincewind though. I seem to have it fixed for everybody but UK users. I'll be back to this soon.

Yes, there's no built-in way to do a button combination for the keyboard, unfortunately.

Thank you @xzotic; I'll look into HyperMarquee. I did plan to implement that for Big Box instead of using an external application, but you make a good point that I shouldn't be reinventing the wheel unless it's necessary.

Hi @Mizar, what language is your Windows version set to?

Yes, the built-in Windows Defender software is highly recommended, largely because it's the most accurate and rarely comes up with false positives.

That is good to know, @Thanos Reigns. @ALIE, you're very correct. I really need to update that video and the site as well; hopefully I can do that soon. @Maddoc1007, sounds good. I trust the 6.9 release is treating you guys well?

Hi guys, my apologies if you've been waiting for a discount code. I get too many emails and I sometimes have problems responding to them all. I try my best but depending on the day sometimes I drown in the sea. Please email kirsten@unbrokensoftware.com and she can get you the discount code.

Hi @solastus54, email me at jason@unbrokensoftware.com and I can get you a discount for the regular license.

No problem BAZ, just resent you your license.

Thank you @BrewMasterLex!

I think the Tankstick acts as a keyboard, right? Not a game controller? The escape key should automatically close out of emulators, so if you can bind the Tankstick to the Escape key, you should be set. Does that help?

I'm not aware of any changes that would affect that @ckp. I don't know why a batch file would be cut off. We did add LEDBlinky, but I wouldn't think that would cause it...

Thank you Martin. Hmm...more than one instance of CoverFlow...probably not currently but I can look into it. What's your plan?

Yup, it should be! Let me know if you see any more VLC issues.

Yeah, it's pretty weird. Exact same user name. Thanks for the purchase though and so sorry for the bad assumption.

Wow, then my apologies my friend. Now I feel like a huge jerk. I didn't think it was very likely for anyone else to use your exact same user name, but I guess that must be what happened. Unfortunately I'd rather not link the site here and give it traffic, but I can send you the link if you really want via email. Doesn't matter though; sorry I made that stupid assumption. I was also having kind of a bad day; that day I needed to be a little bit more forgiving lol.

Let us know what emulator(s) you're running @Temp. Sounds like an emulator/driver conflict issue of some sort.

Yup, it'll be fixed for the next update.

Thank you @Eirulan for that clarification. I'll look into the music issue.

Thanks for that report @emko. I'm going to hold off on that until after the 6.9 release but I'll look into that stuff soon. It does seem pretty weird; I'm wondering if it has anything to do with EmuMovies vs. the LaunchBox Games Database? Thank you so much once again for all that testing @kmoney. I think we'll call the VLC stuff good for the 6.9 release. I'll hold off on making it the default until the next release just in case we run into some additional issues after the full release, but sounds like we can make it the default very soon. @martinconroy Bah. One thing that confuses me is why on earth your voices would be showing "Mobile" on a desktop version of Windows. What type of device are you using? Is it a tablet? A laptop? I also don't understand why the Microsoft libraries are giving me completely different results than what is in your list; I'm pretty baffled at this point. I want to put out the official release today so we might not be able to resolve this before 6.9, but we'll get there one way or another. Try just changing the speech recognition options first. Go to Control Panel > Speech Recognition > Advanced speech options and the Speech Properties dialog should show up. At the top is a Language drop down. I'm curious to know what language you have selected there. There are separate options for both the speech recognition language and the speech synthesis language I believe, and I would guess the speech recognition options are more important.

This is not far off at this point. I have plans to integrate this soon.

That is really great to hear, @polymorph77. #1 is odd; that's the first I'm hearing of it. I'm curious if you reboot and restart LaunchBox if the issue still remains. Per exiting games via controller automation or voice recognition, they both do the same thing. All they do is sent an Escape virtual key press to the system; unfortunately there are some known issues there. For one, MAME refuses to accept virtual key presses, and so we don't have a good solution there. If the emulator won't accept an Escape virtual key press as a sign to exit, then unfortunately it won't work. I do have plans to improve on this though. I don't understand why it would only work sometimes and not always though; I've never seen that happen before. What emulator were you testing with? We are going to go ahead with the 6.9 official release today, but of course we will continue to address these issues.

Yeah, looks like we most likely have an invalid entry on the LaunchBox Games Database.

Ah, noted @Fuscan. Good to hear about the imports and exports though.

New beta is out.
