Seems like the MS website is pooping all over itself right now though, weird. That link is only sometimes working for me, sigh.

Unfortunately Windows 10 does not guarantee that you have all the DirectX stuff. Try downloading and installing this: http://go.redirectingat.com/?id=3570X1544160&site=tenforums.com&xs=1&isjs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Fdownload%2Fdetails.aspx%3Fid%3D34429&xguid=5d0dc51a32d7ae9147e8ff001b383f27&xuuid=93244219261e19cc8712b095bffa8242&xsessid=a5c3831222f1104e54340ad9a2136006&xcreo=0&xed=0&sref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tenforums.com%2Fsoftware-apps%2F28066-how-do-i-update-all-directx-versions-my-windows-10-a.html&pref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&xtz=420&abp=1 If that doesn't work then I'll have to do some debugging/testing.

Guess what I just implemented this morning, guys? I'll have a new beta out before the end of the day. @Riffman81 definitely agree. Looking forward to it! @kmoney Really appreciate the work you're putting in here. The SNES video looks awesome. The black bars can be easily fixed with a bit of theming, so pay no mind to that.

That is pretty strange, Jon. Let us know about Zombeaver's questions.

I assume you don't have Use All Controllers checked? That is strange that LaunchBox and Big Box are reporting different items in that list; so maybe we do have a bug. The only other thing I would say is to make sure your DirectX is all up to date.

Awesome @audunv and @Wutex, that would be much appreciated. Give me a few days to get some translation packages together and we'll be on our way.

Hi @Nielk1, emails from 8/4 should have the discount code I think. Can you forward me your email so I can see it? Perhaps there's something I need to fix there yet.

Hi CoinTos, that's odd. There is separate controller configuration for LaunchBox and Big Box, have you tried configuring your controller in Big Box?

The code is not only for lifetime members. All paying LaunchBox Premium members are entitled to the code.

We had an email bug recently, guys. My apologies for that; there were a few emails that we weren't receiving that I've recently fixed. The emails have had the code for the past month or so, but if you ordered before we added the code, your email won't have it. Send me an email if you need the code: jason@unbrokensoftware.com.

Those who love your instructions have great peace and do not stumble. Psalm 119:165 (NLT) Lord, teach me to love your instructions. Show me peace through them and remove all stumbling blocks from my life. Help me to live for you without doubt, fear, resistance, or mistakes.

Lols. I will protect her like she is my own daughter!!! Just kidding. Did you get it working?

Also, I would prefer if you could keep the language at least at PG levels...that was pretty unnecessary.

Hi dmjohn0x, this is definitely a DirectX issue. Try downloading the latest version of DirectX or simply re-running the LaunchBox setup on that machine.

Hi Chris, Steam videos will only download for games that were imported from Steam. Really, what it's looking for is to use the Steam game's URL in the Application Path field. You can see what I mean by taking a look at a game that was imported from Steam using the importer.

Very nice @Riffman81! Yes, I do have plans to add a startup video; there is a ticket for that on Bitbucket, though it's probably not very high priority. But we can certainly make adding additional video types a higher priority if they're available on EmuMovies!

Thanks @Nielk1.

I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath! Psalm 116:1-2 (NLT) My life runs on answered prayer, and I crave answers from the Lord. The more I receive, the more I want and need his direction and will for my life.

Gotcha @Zombeaver. Sounds like these changes will not help for those platforms then. It's only going to help solve the problem where ROM file names are obscure and thus couldn't previously be imported with proper game titles. I'll have to come up with custom solutions yet for the multi-disc issue and whatever the heck we need for Amiga (I still don't really know). Lol.

Nope, not typically. Typically the results you see in Google are the same for everyone, at least the ones outside of the ads. You can test it just by opening up Internet Explorer (which I'm betting no one here actually uses) and performing the same search. You'll see largely the exact same results. We get results from Google mostly because we're just the best source of info for many emulation topics.

Also, I ended up adding a number of non-MAME arcade platforms to the LaunchBox Games Database, as we already had been doing. I'm slowly warming up to renaming Arcade to MAME, largely because Arcade just doesn't make sense. I don't like creating platforms based on emulators, but I think it might be best to just deal with it in this regard to reduce confusion and duplication. Thoughts? Before I rename it though I really need to implement that "don't change platform when downloading metadata and images" thing.

To be honest, I'm not sure how well platforms like Amiga or Atari ST will work with these new changes. I'm hoping they'll be significantly improved though. I need to do more testing myself to see, I guess. I've barely used Atari ST and Amiga myself, so I don't know the platforms very well. So I need you guys to help test.

Hi @Nielk1, that's the first time that's come up, I guess. Emulation mode has never been used for Steam, so that makes sense. The only way to get around that currently would be to not use an emulator and do things manually via a batch file or something. Feel free to put a ticket into Bitbucket so I can add that as an option eventually.

Hi @johnugamer, those are all settings that you can change in the Big Box settings. The theme won't automatically change those.

Thank you @elborra; please read the first few posts of this topic for details on how you would get started tweaking the translation. I'm sure @CliveBarker won't mind if you make some corrections; just make sure you guys aren't stepping on toes and working on the files at the same time. @dukeemu I just put out 6.9-beta-1 with the Italian translation re-enabled. We'll need to test it thoroughly and then also I'll need to go through it to fix all the dialogs to make sure everything fits.
