Hi @Talantyyr, welcome. We actually do have a solution to close out of emulators via a combined button press like that (using AutoHotkey), but we haven't added save/load states. The good news though is you *can* add that functionality yourself with the latest betas using a custom AutoHotkey script, if you're decent with scripting. Every emulator has a custom script that is run.

Once again, big thanks to @mathflair here. I've pinned this thread, so hopefully it should already get some decent traffic. @mathflair, once you're ready and confident with everything, I would like to feature the tool on the home page. :)

Thank you @sselph! Really great to have you here. Great to hear about the C++ versions as well. @mathflair has already built an external tool that I believe uses the scraper, and just hooks into LaunchBox via XML. Here's that thread: https://www.launchbox-app.com/forum/features/launchboxannotator-tool#p6576 I believe there have been other related threads as well, but that's the new official one. I do eventually plan on building scraper hashing functionality directly into LaunchBox, so I really appreciate you chiming in. :)

Hi @shock66, yeah, I do have those items on my list. They can't really be automatic, because the user needs to know what's going on, but I'm planning to add prompts when deleting platforms, or changing default emulators to ask what to do with the games. :)

Welcome, @bjwest. :) Feel free to post in Features or Troubleshooting, depending on where it seems like it best fits. We're not picky, though; we don't get our kicks from power tripping new users into following stupid rules. ;)

Yeah, so this is just downright amazing. Do yourself a favor and watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySPsmFcz_AE I'm really enjoying Triforcefilms lately. :)

Thank you @mathflair! :)

Hehehehehe.

FYI guys, not that it's really related to this thread, but I just created the official Unbroken Software, LLC company recently, so I'm trying to make everything official, mostly to keep on good terms with the gub'ment. It's a lot of work, but it's pretty unavoidable at this point.

Sure, for the record Derek I really appreciate being made aware of that kind of stuff. It's not something that's gonna keep me up at night, but it's good to know about it so I can be proactive if and when I ever need to. :)

Yeah, it's a fine line. We do get lots of traffic, which is absolutely amazing. I just prefer that people use the latest version, get it from the real source, and have as positive of an experience as possible. I also require people's emails for downloads on this site which really helps to boost sales, to be completely honest. It's helped me turn it into a legitimate project instead of just a hobby thing. That said, I'm not about to go and play download police and raise a stink; I do recognize the value of additional exposure. However, if an external download link ever got more popular (higher up in search results) than the official LaunchBox download page, we'd have a problem because I'd lose a lot of my current marketing opportunities. I really hate mass email and spam, so I was very hesitant to ever send any mass email, but honestly I've gotten very positive responses from it. Most people seem happy to receive legitimate valuable content related to LaunchBox via email, so that's been extremely valuable and I'd hate to lose that opportunity.

How'd you stumble on that, by the way?

Ah, thanks Derek. I'd very much rather they didn't, but probably best not to go make enemies and demand that they take it down. Somebody obviously put some serious effort into that lol.

Hi @shock66, I've updated the zip file download at the bottom of the Download page (see the header menu on the site).

Hehehehe, incredible.

Yup, @Syriacn is working on a fix. I know he's busy, though; I may take a stab at it myself soon.

Looks like I'm reading and writing dates in LaunchBox.xml with CultureInfo.InvariantCulture. So if you use that when you write them out, that should do the trick.

Ah, thanks @mathflair. I just didn't make the connection to custom fields. Typically the way you solve the date issues is to use DateTime.Parse(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, value). Hopefully that helps.

Oh, sure. You must be running a high DPI setting in Windows. The form is usually 860x700 but of course it gets much bigger for higher DPIs. I hear you, though; that edit form is getting pretty jam-packed. I'll add it to my to-do list to do something about that, at least.

Yup, you got it.

Hi @Randalf, welcome. I've never emulated Odyssey 2, unfortunately, but hopefully somebody else who has will chime in. @SentaiBrad?

Sure; that's a complicated form so it's difficult to implement a decent resize option. What resolution are you running?

@Syriacn, any ideas? @clarky05, I really don't have any good ideas, unfortunately. My only suggestion would be to completely uninstall Kodi (including checking the box to remove the user folder in the uninstall), and then reinstall.

Ah, so the issue is the Windows Media Player won't play MP4 files? Hmm, well probably the best I can recommend is to try uninstalling any codec packs and reinstall the necessary ones. Sorry I don't have any better advice; somehow or other just have to get WMP to play MP4s.

Hi @DOS76, if you mark the additional app to use emulation, it should work just fine without any command line parameters. It will use the parameters specified for the emulator.
