You can copy whatever files you want to your device; you don't have to copy the ROM files if you have them some other way. I think though I responded to you in another thread, so I'm not sure that you're going to be able to do exactly what you're looking to do.

I'm not fully following you here. Can you explain the issue more clearly?

This has to be addressed individually for every single emulator, unfortunately. All thanks to Google's terrible design decisions (again). We will be attempting to fix any outstanding issues for the next release; however, that's a lot of work, so it will probably be a while yet.

Yes, it's always possible to just launch the emulator only, but that is a fairly poor experience. I understand that it's better than a broken experience though. The problem is that we're constantly having to chase changes between emulators and the Android OS to fix the launching mechanisms. Google's poor design decisions have really been a headache for everyone in this regard. So with every new release, there's always a number of emulators that we have to try and fix, and some of them can be fixed, while others can't. All of those emulators have previously worked just fine, and either Google or the emulator developer (most likely Google) broke them. Hopefully we can fix them soon (if it's possible).

Thanks @dukeemu, congrats on the successful surgery. I have the translation in for the next beta. It'll probably be a bit before we put it out though.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean here. Are you unable to add videos to the app? There's a themes manager built into the app. Once the app is loaded, press the Back button and then choose Manage Themes.

Please do your best not to post the same things in multiple threads. I've responded to your other threads.

Are you trying to run the actual app from your SD card, or relocate your LaunchBox folder to it?

Unfortunately I don't know of a fix. There are several issues here, starting with the fact that Google has completely failed at their job of proper implementations of these things, favoring "security" over functionality and breaking everything over and over again. The issue is worsened by the fact that every device manufacturer has their own modified implementations of Google's already broken systems, and so the more obscure you get (such as connecting an external hard drive to a handheld Android device), the less likely things are going to work.

Android and Windows are very different beasts, from the emulation, operating system, general usage patterns, and everything in-between. So no, unfortunately, I don't think you'll find a way to keep all your folder structures exactly the same between Windows and Android. Your ROM files certainly can be, but not all the media and such.

Thanks for the report. This should have been resolved over the weekend. I had put in some recent changes that unfortunately temporarily halted the change promotion process.

After reviewing this and testing everything, I believe this is working as it always has, though I agree that it's a bit confusing. When a game is added to the database, for example, there are actually many different "change" records included in that moderation process. There's a change for each field, basically (game title, ESRB, developers, publishers, etc.). So in the database, that's represented as a moderation for each change, even though you may have only clicked the Accept or Reject button once. Some moderations (like game deletions) will only increase the value by one, but others may add quite a bit more to the value. So "Total Moderations" is not "total times the button was pressed". It's more "total actual moderated changes to the database, including each and every field". I believe it always worked that way, but I can't say whether there were bugs previously that may have affected that number.

I will review on Monday, but it's likely that they just took a jump because they weren't updating for a while.

To be honest, I don't think we need them at all. But yes, he was banned because he was posting explicit images.

Also, FYI, I just banned AlphaPictoris from the games database for uploading explicit porn games. We're going to be cracking down hard on this going forward. If you find porn in the moderation queue, I would appreciate it if you could take a screenshot of it and PM it to me (and of course, reject it). Thanks all.

Thanks for the reports, guys. Both of these issues should be fixed now.

No. The only reason why it was showing so many pages before, is because it was bugged and it was showing duplicate information.

Okay, I think I found the problem here. The system is currently working through a backlog of changes that need promoted, so it will probably be a while, but I think I have this resolved. Thanks for the help.

Can you screenshot me?

All known issues should now be fixed. Let me know if anyone runs into anything else.

This should be fixed now. Thanks!

@Prince I think I know what happened. I'm pretty sure all your changes are actually listed there. Before the new version of the games database came out, there was a bug where the changes status page showed a bunch of duplicate information and extra pages. So what really happened, is we just fixed that.

No worries; that's exactly what I meant.

What is your gamer tag on the games database?

I found the records. It looks like it's happening because the games already had duplicate genres (or publishers) on them, and so it's erroring out trying to create the duplicate record. Thanks for the report. Should be fixed shortly.
