Sure, not sure if the Arcade one is really 100% complete; it probably depends on whatever pack from Hyperspin Circo used. Also, we're working on fixing up the EmuMovies search engine because files are occasionally missed and unmatched, so that is probably part of the issue.

Wow, Elliot! That is awesome! This is a much needed feature so I'm sure many, many users will appreciate it. There's a new, proper Downloads section in the blue menu area at the top of the forums site, so it would be best if you can upload it as an official download there. I'm about to go add a new category for third-party apps and plugins. Thanks!

Hmm, that should be working as far as I know, shinra. Haven't tried yet with cue files though so maybe there's an issues with cue files.

Hi @Drybonz, Circo now has all of the Hyperspin wheel images in EmuMovies, so that's the best source for them.

Most likely this is because the images are still caching. Let me know if you're still seeing performance issues after all the images are cached. Also, is it only the CoverFlow views that are sluggish?

Hi shinra, currently the file names need to have (Disc 1) or (Disk 1) or (CD 1) in them. How are your files named?

Orac's video.

Thank you orac! Can you post this in the new videos section? There's a Videos link at the top of the forums.

Thank you @Sepulchre, that's very helpful. I'll be looking into this on Monday.

Thanks guys. Great to hear that the k-lite pack solves the WMP playback issues. @Mute64 I remember one person reported once that for some reason the alpha search wasn't working for one of their platforms, but I was never able to replicate it. Can you send me your LaunchBox.xml file? jason@unbrokensoftware.com @kmoney2315, let me know if you find a good solution for that; the ESRB intros drive me nuts too. Legally I'm not sure if we can automatically remove them in LaunchBox but it'd be great if there was a way to manually do it in batch after they download.

Alright, I went ahead and put this beta out despite the fact that I'm having trouble getting the Windows Media Player video playback engine to play the .webm video files properly. It's really dumb because I can play them when I open them up in WMP manually, but only the second time open them. Facepalm. Lol. I've tried changing the file extension from .webm to .avi, .mpg, and .mp4, and I can get them to play, but they play without audio. Fail again. Of course they work perfectly fine in VLC. I'm also sure you could install a codec to get them to play fine in WMP, but ideally we need it to work out of the box. This beta also should fix the CoverFlow views not remembering the selected game issue, and has an updated French translation thanks to @Wattoo.

Awesome, great to hear. Really appreciate what you're doing. I'll get back to you on the proper gif support early next week at the latest.

By the way, @niglurion, I hope you don't mind but I'm going to feature this theme and your video in the email that goes out tomorrow.

Thanks for that. If you're able to do any testing to figure out if it's specific to certain views and/or when the background videos are enabled, that'd be wonderful. Otherwise I will try and reproduce it with those specific views.

Thanks @Rincewind. Yes, there are image quality settings in Big Box that might help. And yes, it's important to wait until all of the images are cached before judging the overall performance.

Hmm, yeah, it seems like you should have decent performance with that hardware. The first thing I would try is to make sure you have the latest version of .NET installed, version 4.6.1. Also, unfortunately Windows 7 may be less performant than Windows 8 or Windows 10 due to lots of performance Microsoft has made in the later OS releases. That said, I wouldn't think it would be that drastic, either. Let me know if you're already up to date and we can dive deeper. Also, thanks for the purchase. I hope we can get it figured out but rest assured that if we can't, I'm happy to send you out a refund.

Yeah, the good news is I now have a means of gathering all that Steam game data. I still have to put in the work to be able to actually integrate it all, but it's all accessible. So sooner or later we can download other stuff from Steam as well. At least until Gabe Newell sues us for taking all of their bandwidth. I have the Steam trailer downloads working great but I'm having issues getting the .webm files to play properly in Windows Media Player, figures.

Hi Dream, this is possible if the same images happen to exist on both EmuMovies and the LaunchBox Games Database. It's also possible to download duplicates by editing a game and telling it to re-download images that already exist.

Sorry for that solid. There was a short period in there where we were testing before going live with the new forums.

We do plan to do an Amiga tutorial, but unfortunately I have some work to do to make Amiga work well in LaunchBox first (and also some research to do because I've never actually used Amiga...yet lol). Supposedly Amiga imports aren't really possible right now.

Thanks for the detailed report here, @Sepulchre. I haven't been able to consistently replicate it so it's been a hard one to fix. I think I've only ever seen it happen once on my various machines. Are you using background videos? Does it matter? @DOS76, how were you able to replicate it? How long did it take before it showed up for you? I wasn't aware of the genre error, actually. I've added that to my shortlist as well.

We can indeed. These forums support Tapatalk, I just have to get it installed. So we should have that soon.

Awesome.

Agreed, my friend, it's easy to do. Thanks for the note.
