Thank you very much, guys. :)

Hi @tjwoosta, thanks for that feedback. I plan to add a box art view to Big Box, hopefully soon (much like LaunchBox). That's more feasible than having the images instantly update, as typically the machine just can't keep up. How's that sound?

The custom filter window is due for a revamp, indeed. I'm guessing the issues with the "crashes" you're seeing are just due to the time it takes to populate the drop downs. For very large collections, this can be an unfortunately long time, and LaunchBox appears to crash while it's working. This is more of an issue with Windows combo box controls, but of course I need to come up with a solution. I've noted all the other requests. :)

I'm sorry guys, but I don't really know enough about this stuff to suggest a solution. @Syriacn, any ideas?

Hehehehe, wow. Not really my preference, but neat nonetheless. @CADScott, that looks really neat. Let's see the final build! :)

Wow, holy crap the top one is beautiful. Now *that* is a perfectionist. What a beautiful build.

Hi @fishman, are you selecting the Retroarch that's already in the list of emulators the second time around? Or are you trying to add Retroarch a second time?

Yup, agreed. I need to do some research with how the other guys do it, and see if we can come up with the best possible solution. Unfortunately it's not on the top of the to-do list though.

Thanks @scree. Yes, I still have Big Box versions on my list. Unfortunately it might not make it into 5.3, but hopefully soon.

By the way, I did get this fixed last night in the latest beta. :) I had no idea about that bug, but it was a serious bug, so thanks much for finding and reporting it.

Thanks @acombs1793. If you're looking to start over completely, then no harm in deleting everything. But the LaunchBox.xml file is located in the LaunchBox folder (the folder you installed it to). Glad it's a good solution for you. :)

Per the list view, both of those features are planned but will not make it into the 5.3 release. Sorting favorite games at the top is only for Big Box, and it's in the Big Box Games List options. Have you been getting error messages for those crashes? It's always very helpful if you can report them. I did get one report yesterday that I'm looking into. I believe I do have half-star ratings and multiple tag selections on my list. I'll add arrow buttons to the list. :)

Hi @Stal8080, I think I answered you these via email already but I'll answer them here too just in case anyone happens to land on this page. Big Box currently does not automatically download videos, but this functionality is coming, through EmuMovies. Still, if you have an EmuMovies subscription it's really easy to download them with their download tool and then just drop the videos in the right folders. All of Big Box can be controlled just fine with a joystick, yes. *Most* emulators can be exited just fine with the controller using the AutoHotkey features. Some of them are still being perfected, however.

Hehehehe, that'd be quite a throwback, wouldn't it? It'd be fun too, but unfortunately I don't think it really fits with the rest of LaunchBox. Might be a fun side project though at some point.

FYI everyone, I plan to release the official this coming Thursday. @AFaustini, new beta is out. :) If you can, here are the release notes that would be great to translate: New list view is available for premium users Custom AutoHotkey scripts for all emulators, MS-DOS, or Windows games Proper support for MAME game imports Thanks!

Alright, new beta is out that fixes all the reported bugs with the last beta, sans for @scree's reported icons bug. Hoping to release the official version on Thursday night.

@scree, I have the first issue fixed, but I can't seem to replicate the second issue (the favorite/edit/close icons not showing). You're talking about the game details hover popup, correct? Is anyone else able to replicate this?

Wow, thanks @SqHd, I see it now, good find. I wonder if I introduced that issue recently. Hopefully I can get it fixed before the official release.

Custom filters can be used to do that, though I agree it of course could be more flexible.

Hi @yajinni, I think I attempted to answer most of these in another thread. @DOS76, I believe if you check the box to use emulation before browsing it should open it up to all files...I think.

Hi @yajinni, yes, Retroarch can be configured to be portable, though it uses strange syntax for it. The configuration files use this syntax: :\assets Which means the assets folder inside of the Retroarch folder.

Hi @fishman, we're not following. It should work fine to import additional platforms for Retroarch. What is the problem you're running into?

Ah, nice. I'm gonna have to pick one up very soon, I think. :)

Ah, I wasn't aware of those discrepancies. Thanks @scree, hopefully I can get them fixed before the official release.

Hi @acombs1793, welcome, and thanks for the purchase. As @DOS76 states above, you can basically just delete the LaunchBox.xml file (and any images in the images folder) if you want to start over fresh. Typically, if you're getting 0 games imported, it's because the games you're trying to import already exist, but you're not seeing them for some reason. Sometimes this happens when you delete a platform which orphans the games (makes them not belong to any platforms, but they still should show up in all games).
