I see, sure; so we just send it a folder path instead of a ROM file path. I can add that to the list. :) Are you the developer of Higan by chance? Or just know them?

Wow, that's crazy. I'd like to try it to see how well it really works.

Indeed. I do have that one on my list. :)

Makes sense. That'd be a big undertaking at this point, so it's not likely to happen soon. That said, I can see it as part of the long-term plans.

Hi @MultipleX, I do have that on my list, but it unfortunately isn't a very high priority compared to a lot of other things. That said, pretty much anyone could develop a Kodi plugin to do it, so if we're lucky someone will step up in the mean time... :)

So I should switch the default Retroarch core for GBA?

It is indeed. :) I keep a list up at Bitbucket, but it's horrendously out of date. The recent things I have in a simple text file in the project. Anyways, here's Bitbucket at least: https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/

@eric, unfortunately there's no windowed mode, as of yet. But yes, Martin's right. LaunchBox is probably the best way to edit images and such.

Good thoughts, Nathan. I did plan to add similar box-art based views soon, but I hadn't thought about it to that extent. I think that's a great plan. :)

Nice @eric! Excited to see the pics! Maybe I can feature your cab on the home page?

Wow, great idea, Nathan. That's a new one too. Added. :)

Hi @tony971. I'm not familiar with Higan myself, but do a search on Higan here on the forums. There are other topics that address the issue already I think. I know one good option is to use Retroarch with the bsnes core (as apparently bsnes is Higan).

Sorry for that @orac31, caught the issue right after I deployed it last night.

Hi @Xlembros, I'm pretty baffled here still lol, because I didn't fix anything. So...hmm...

Hi Stimpy, in theory, all of the images that didn't move are no longer referenced by LaunchBox (and can be deleted). Usually these are due to old versions/copies of games. We have seen some odd scenarios pop up, however, due to glitches in older versions of LaunchBox. So try moving them out of the folder first, and then refresh your images.

Good to know, @toe_head2001, thanks. I'll add that to my list.

Welcome @polygonslayer. I think anything inside parenthesis or square brackets is ignored; however, I don't think it includes curly braces. I can probably add that into the next beta.

Hi @orac31, your best option is something like Crashplan. I gave up on RAID a long time ago because it's simply not reliable for backups. If a hard drive dies, fine, but what if the RAID controller dies? What if the RAID controller's software is faulty and fails to recover after a drive dies? I've lost data because of both scenarios. RAID sucks for backups, so I would advise against going with a NAS solution. RAID is the technology they use to prevent data loss. Crashplan is basically an online backup service. Assuming you don't have metered Internet or anything, there's no better solution. Backs up everything to the cloud, gradually over time. I've backed up over 12 TB (yes, that's 12 terabytes) to Crashplan and I've had to restore hundreds of gigs over the years due to failed drives. Never had an issue, saves me every time. Restores do take a while, but in an emergency they can ship you a hard drive with your data for $$$. Of course it's not free, but they have an unlimited storage amount per computer. You pay per computer, basically. It's worth every penny.

New beta is out; fixes the issues with recent and favorites and the custom filters (hopefully for real this time). Also added proper support for Sega Model 2 Emulator.

Hi @Xlembros, please explain the process you're using to import the ROMs. I don't really understand how it could come up with no ROMs to import. Are you adding a folder or the files themselves?

Ha, whoops. You're right, I'll have a new beta out tonight. :)

Hi Stimpy, with 5.0 the images were reorganized. The proper image folder paths should be something like this by default: LaunchBox\Images\[Platform]\[Type]\[Game Name].jpg For example: LaunchBox\Images\Nintendo Wii\Front\Sonic Colors.jpg Do they show up there?

Hi @Xlembros, have you tried the latest beta?

Thanks @orac31. @firecraft, the easiest thing to do is to use the EmuMovies downloader to download them all against your list of ROMs. Then all you have to do is put them in the right folder (LaunchBox\Videos\[Platform]) and they'll show up in Big Box.

Cool, @shinra358. Per resembling the PSP, I do plan to add multiple views, styles, themes, etc., but we'll probably need to wait until we get to that point before we make all those changes. Some good points with the left/right; I'm not really happy with that piece of the navigation either. The only hesitation I have there is how should you get to the recent and favorite games? Secondary category selection I can see being useful as well, and the delay before showing images and/or videos is probably a good idea too, as is the time/date/battery. I'll add those items to my list. :)
