To your edit: we also want to implement a function that is similar to scheduling updates or virus scans, but instead updates your metadata from the Database. The only way to get the updated data is to do it how you are doing it now. However, with the cart images, they may still have the numbers if you only download them but it will give you the most up-to-date images.

Métamorphose is kind of complicated too, but it's super powerful. You can search, rename, append, add / remove etc, and it can even search in to sub-folders.

No worries, I just wanted to make sure you saw what I was saying. You are also more understanding than most users too, so don't worry about it. The easiest way I would solve this is to yea, search for the images you want. If in this case they are the images with 1 attached to them, then search them up in the folder and move them. I would personally also use a program called Métamorphose 1 v 1.1.2 (version 2 has a slightly more complicated UI), and use it to take out the "-1" portion's of the file name. You can then move them to the games box art folder or where ever you want. Since they should have the same name as the front box art images now, you can either replace the existing ones so that it is mostly cart images or don't have the cart images overwrite the box art and then you will have it be mostly box art. Either way, the result should be less holes. It's not a nice solution granted, but it is a solution before features like Tiered Images can be implemented. http://file-folder-ren.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=Download Any other file renamer will work, this is just the one I use.

fdsj82juifaa said weltall said No. The names of these images are right, because they are not meant to be front covers. Front cover images do not have numebrs in the end, but Screenshots and others do, because there might be more than just 1 of them, which is why you see 02 and 03. But front cover images have have only one, which is why they do not have a number. This is meant to be normal. OK, gotcha... then I guess I should put in a feature request to be able to change the default image to a different image. Because having to mass rename images isn't exactly user friendly to change the cart image. Re-read my post. I just posted the ticket that will solve this issue with images. The images need to be named based on the game so that LaunchBox can recognize them. The numbers are only there for other media types. If the image you want are all the number 1's, filter the number 1's out with the Windows Search function and put them in the folder. If there is only 1 image to pull from it will only use the 1 image. Also we are user friendly, because this one feature isn't in doesn't make it not user friendly. We are also totally open to changing things as we need to. There is 1 developer who develops LaunchBox and has a family, so these things take time but we still progress at a fast speed compared to the rest of the competition.

When launching from Kodi I am unsure if there is anything we can do, however I am glad you found out the reason why. I will forward this to Jason to see if he knows why this could happen or if he can put in checks to maybe make sure this doesn't happen again?

No, that is how we handle images. 1, 2 and 3 are put there for a reason. If there are images in there from before, make sure it is a folder with nothing existing previously and only 1 image to choose from. That said, the Tiered image system is going to fix this issue you are having. There isn't really an ETA on it. https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/719/tiered-images-to-help-fill-in-gaps-more

They're there, I teach them in my Tutorial series on YouTube. When you edit a game: https://i.imgur.com/g9dk1Gh.png When you edit an Emulator: https://i.imgur.com/L9AiUdy.png https://i.imgur.com/HeV98eG.png They are there.

So there is a command line to change this option? If so put the Software Rendering command line in the default command line parameter for just the game, not the system. Edit a game and go to the Emulation tab. If this sets the entire emulator to software mode for the rest of the games, set the default command line parameter to Hardware Rendering for PCSX2 under the Associated Platforms page or the main page when you edit the emulator.

Thanks @AutumnSounds I didn't realize that existed. That Text Adventure compilation has me curious. :P

SqHd said First, I would like to say thanks for the great videos! I really found the tutorial for setting up MAME via Retroarch very useful. Since MAME now supports all MESS systems; would it be possible to do a part 2 tutorial on running these via Retroarch and Launchbox (ex. Apple II, Intellivision, TI-99, etc.)? I've done a bunch of online research to no avail. I haven't figured out the correct folder structure for bios and roms. Thanks again for the great tutorials and amazing frontend! Honestly, probably not. I don't like MESS and I think it to be a disaster. That said, there are a few systems that can only be emulated via MESS and I may tackle them in the future, but for the most part a Part 2 about MESS won't happen. I might cover the 2 or 3 specific systems through MESS but that is about it. I have no clue when that would happen if it even does. Otherwise I appreciate the kind words and appreciate the viewership.

What exactly do you mean? Do you want LaunchBox to be able change this option for you are do you want PCSX2 to change this for you? There aren't many games that are better in Software Compatibility, but the best way would be to find if you can toggle Software Rendering via the command line and edit a games default command line parameter to do just that. I don't if that exists though.

Long and short, neither crash. I also tried with video playing in WMP or VLC and still no crash. I'll ask Jason to take a look, maybe there's something he can ask that might clue us in a bit.

Drybonz said I'm getting a crash when I grab and drag the scrollbar to scroll in the game details sidebar. It does not crash if I mouse wheel scroll through it... only using the scrollbar. Error message is just the generic "has stopped working". Were you looking at a long Game Details bar, or any game details bar? I'll see if I can replicate.

Zork has also been re-made at least a dozen times too, you can probably find a web based version.

Between the Database and Tiered image system we're trying to make it so no gaps exist.

On PS4 there's an option for just 16 bit I thought.

Yep Bulk Edit is awesome.

Grab the PS4 or PC versions to get all of the graphics and audio options. Plus Trophies and Achievements. :P That is a fun game I really really need to go back to. I would suggest buying that from their site or one of those services though, it is a modern developed game with full support still so it should still be purchase I think.

Try moving Cemu up a few folders.

Yea it's just simply not designed that way. Try using an XML backup until it works.

Well yes and no, it is really all up to what it allows.

We don't really control that, that would be all the forum provider.

Yep pretty much, you got it right.

Make sure you games are named the same in LaunchBox and Associated Platforms. It sounds like an RA core is off, settings or the BIOS. Double check and make sure you have the core names correctly and you're not using the -c command to load a custom config afterwards.

This is planned but the best place for feature requests are the respective BitBuckets. The Database BitBucket is here: https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/issues/new
