I see @spektor56, that makes sense. Sorry your ticket got rejected; I just opened it back up. Looks like Brad just was confused. @Mute64, that's mostly good to hear. I haven't played with that package feature for so long, I'm almost surprised it's still working. But I'm glad it is. We should probably come back to that here soon to make sure everything is ideal for all the latest features.

No worries @Bedwyr; at some point in the future we may add customization options that allow LaunchBox to behave like a standard Windows app and use the normal configuration folders, but that's far from a priority at this point. @shinra358, I see what's happening there. If you use the folder names for the imports, it expects the disc numbers to be in the folder names, not the file names. I can see how it'd be better the other way though; I'll see if this is relatively simple to do. I'm not following you on your last sentence: "Also, I just noticed that choosing rom names when importing doesn't give the selection the rom name at all. It gives it the name that it uses in the data base." Can you explain that? I get you, @Zombeaver, agreed.

My child, don’t lose sight of common sense and discernment. Hang on to them, for they will refresh your soul. They are like jewels on a necklace. They keep you safe on your way, and your feet will not stumble. You can go to bed without fear; you will lie down and sleep soundly. You need not be afraid of sudden disaster or the destruction that comes upon the wicked, for the Lord is your security. He will keep your foot from being caught in a trap. Proverbs 3:21-26 (NLT) I am not burdened with fear, as I know the Lord will continue to provide me with security and strength. The Lord's discernment is always available and always correct.

Well that pretty much proves that that's not the issue! I'll download and try your test instance.

Yeah, that makes sense @Bedwyr but the whole point of a portable application is not to affect anything on the computer other than what's inside the application folder. Also we need Dropbox syncing support, so that you can sync everything, settings included inside of your Dropbox folder.

Very cool @shadowblind. That looks awesome. Have you teamed up with @CriticalCid at all? We've been talking about making it easier to add custom videos in addition to the normal gameplay videos to use for the Hyperspin-recorded themes here: -
Hi @Bedwyr, Program Files is strictly off-limits for LaunchBox to be installed to. Typically, it won't even start up if you choose that folder. The installer explains not to install to Program Files or any folder that requires Administrator permissions. Unfortunately that's just a side-effect of portable applications and there's no way around it. LaunchBox installs to C:\Users\[username]\LaunchBox by default.

Hi @onebadveggie, unfortunately not at this point. This is on my list, though. I believe we do have a ticket for it as well. If you can find it on Bitbucket and vote it up, that would help me be able to focus on it sooner. Let me know if you can't find it for some reason.

I am the Justin Bieber of application developers. What are you all even doing here, really.

Hi David, just to 100% check to make sure, see what you find for the Windows desktop hardware acceleration settings: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/hardware-acceleration-windows-7 You may or may not even be able to get to them, with my understanding. There's a registry key later on in the article though; it would be interesting to know what that registry key is set to. I'm really confused as to what else might be going on here, so I'm admittedly grasping at straws. Thanks for bearing with me on this though.

Request and Question for Custom Logic
Jason Carr replied to CriticalCid's topic in Big Box Custom Themes
Come to think of it, here's what I'm thinking. I could add a property to the ImageVideoView tag that would allow you to override the folder where videos are pulled from. I *think* that's all we'd really need for this. Thoughts? -
Request and Question for Custom Logic
Jason Carr replied to CriticalCid's topic in Big Box Custom Themes
Yeah, I had thought about that, Cid. I'm not sure the best solution for that as of yet, other than to add proper multi-video support to LaunchBox. I think there may be a way to do the variable replacement type thing in XAML, but to be honest I haven't figured it out yet. Per if-then statements though, the data binding approach that I took in the tutorial video is unfortunately as close as we're gonna get to doing actual if-then logic in XAML (as of course it's really not meant for that). That said, I would expect that most, if not all if-then requirements could be implemented the same way I implemented the platform name stuff in the tutorial. Though of course it may be tricky. -
@shinra358 Can you explain what your file names and folder names are exactly?
-
Very cool @Toxicangel. Glad to hear it's all working for you to stream it.
-
Thanks cool, @falcon. I hadn't seen that before. EmuMovies does have control panel image downloads available for arcade games in LaunchBox.
-
Hmm, good question. To be honest I didn't even know that existed lol. Eventually we'll be adding ratings for PEGI and such as well, so I expect we can add that particular metric too when we do that. So I'd say leave the ESRB blank and we can add those later. Thanks, @cafcmike.
-
Hi @solidmeister, I just fixed a minor issue with the alphabetic indexes and culture-specific characters, so I'm guessing that's what's happening for you. Try downloading the latest beta and see if it fixes for you.
-
That'd be a nice idea, Fisty. I think it would be fairly easy to add a field to profiles for that, so I'll add that to my plate.

Any plans to ever bring LB to Android in the future?
Jason Carr replied to ps4isthefuture's topic in Features
What if we did a Kickstarter for this so that I was able to hire another developer to work on it? Worth pursuing you think? How much would you be able to donate to the project? -
Unfortunately I can't make any promises as we do have a lot on our plate and there are also a lot of highly voted tickets. But hopefully in the next couple of months, though I can't say for sure.

LaunchBox Games Database Changes - 2016/08/15
Jason Carr replied to Jason Carr's topic in News and Updates
Thanks @Freestate. -
@ThePolish Unfortunately I did not get to tackling those issues today, but they are still on my shortlist.
-
I did just put out another new beta guys, mostly with obscure bugfixes from Bitbucket tickets. The one notable thing I did change was to change the temp folder. LaunchBox was using the Windows temp folder for some things which flies in the face of our policy to keep everything inside of the LaunchBox folder. From here on out, LaunchBox\Metadata\Temp should be being used for all temporary files, and should be deleted on exit. Hopefully we don't run into any bugs due to those changes.
-
That is indeed correct, @ALIE. This isn't the complete "image pack" solution that I expect to add in later on, but it can certainly be used that way if you're so inclined. @Zombeaver, it could be used for image packages but I wouldn't recommend it until we build an actual image pack solution. This is more for custom themes to be able to tweak the images that are displayed directly. Per the platform naming issues, we'll probably never have a 100% perfect solution for that, to be honest. But when I implement the image packs I can use the platform alternate names to try and match them up. But it's still not likely to be perfect.

Wow, that video looks amazing!!! Very, very cool @niglurion. I somehow missed it before. Woot! Woot! Woot! I did add those two new tutorials as well, though to be honest you probably won't need them, @niglurion.
