Thank you guys. I'll be back to the VLC stuff soon; I'm in the process of hopefully hiring higankanshi (the Meta.Vlc developer) to help us out and get these bugs fixed. A new beta is out. I took a break from bugfixes today after the 6.8 release and started to tackle some of the issues with importing problematic platforms. Most non-MAME arcade platforms as well as other problematic platforms now have proper file name to game title conversions. I tested with the Sega Model 2 platform and indeed was able to pull proper names and thus metadata for all of the games. Keep in mind that force using MAME metadata for any platforms other than MAME is no longer recommended. Other arcade platforms will likely be better processed automatically with that box unchecked. Very curious to hear how things are working for you guys for all the various platforms that were previously a problem. Also would like to know what other issues we still need to solve for imports.

Thanks @lordmonkus. Unfortunately though we need to refrain from uploading emulators here.
-
Gonna go ahead with the official release then. Let me know if anyone else is seeing any crashes and if they're able to replicate them.

I cried out, “I am slipping!” but your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me. When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer. Psalm 94:18-19 (NLT) This verse comes to me in the middle of temptation, but the Lord is surrounding me with his love and picking me up out of the fray.

Yeah, I've tried looking into paysafe before, but at least my initial efforts weren't successful because I'm in the US. I'm not 100% sure if it's possible either way yet, though. It just wasn't going to be a quick process to set up and wasn't really very clear.

Thanks @dukeemu. I'm planning on putting out an official release today so I'll probably disable the Italian translation for this release until we can get everything ironed out. It will still be available in the betas, of course.
-
Bah, still crashing, eh? Were they just crashes or did they have an error message along with them @Mute64?

Big Box crashes shortly after starting up

Sure, try installing or reinstalling the latest version of the .NET framework and DirectX. -
Welp, here's another new beta. Found an issue with displaying the screenshots when videos don't exist, and also fixed some more crashes with spamming keypresses.
-
This is also the release candidate; I'm hoping to put out the official 6.8 release tomorrow morning.
-
I did just put out beta 10 guys to include the fixes we made in the live stream this morning. It's mostly just to prevent crashes when spamming switching views and entering games before the previous screen had refreshed. Also hoping this fixes any audio still playing issues with the VLC engine.
-
Thank you @Zombeaver. Hoping VLC is up to par now (sans for the missing videos happening occasionally) so we can put out the official release tomorrow.
-
You guys all using Big Box VLC without issues so far? Huh? Huh?
-
The official version will be out tomorrow if all goes as planned.
-
Okay, thank you @Antropus. Appreciate the update.
-
Ah, gotcha. Then that definitely makes sense.
-
Will do @DOS76. If your soundcard is internal I doubt it's the same issue as internal sound cards don't typically use USB.
-
Okay great. Thanks Cid. We'll leave it there for now, assuming it's working fine for most people.

Hi Shady, my apologies for the trouble there. I'm finding that it's very difficult to find a good option to use in this scenario; as of yet I'm not really aware of a feasible option for people without credit cards outside of the US, sadly. Bitcoin should work but I'm not an expert on how it all works, other than I do know that you would need to purchase a partial bitcoin in order to get $20 worth. My apologies, I'm still researching to try and find a better solution. Let me know if you know of anything and I'll see if there's a way for us to implement it.
-
Thanks Blugost. I'll review the ticket here soon. I think using a video would definitely be the best approach, but of course videos can't be transparent. You can of course make your own elements, but how to do it depends on what you're trying to create. For time and date, I'll probably have to add controls for it.

Or use Tools > Manage Platforms in LaunchBox.

Decided to update and now everything is broken...
Jason Carr replied to polygonslayer's topic in Troubleshooting
Me too @polygonslayer! Thanks again @smallsbig. -
Yeah, such is the typical approach for a community-moderated database. I am working on a way to batch upload things, though (or at least I have that on my to-do list), but that will only be available to me and possibly some other trusted people.

Jason Carr replied to tribe fan's topic in Troubleshooting
Hi tribe, first off, try upgrading to the latest beta version, as I suspect that it will solve your problems. -
Thanks @kmoney. I remember having trouble finding a simple but perfect shader like that. Makes sense that you had to tweak one. Why doesn't one come exactly like that? Lol.
