Hi Fluffo. I just ran a MalwareBytes scan of my LaunchBox Updates folder and all files came up clean. I don't have any file this small (258.8 KB) inside. While these files have totally random names and mine may not be like yours here is my Updates folder just for a comparison. And as far as I know, these files are not needed once the LaunchBox update has finished and can be deleted.

Hi. This game works ok in Mame. The game is 3 Count Bout Fire Suplex (NGM-043)(NGH-043) and the rom is 3countb.zip. The 9 Not Found items in your first image are the elements of the game rom. If Mame can't find any any of them then you may have an invalid rom. Take a look inside your 3countb.zip rom and see what is missing.

SAM Coupe and Tiger Game.Com platform, logo and device images.

Platform, Logo and Device images for Mattel Electronics Aquarius and Sega Genesis Nomad. As some members have mentioned that device images don't always fit to their displays, I've uploaded each device image in 3 different aspects. 16:10 for widescreen monitors, 16:9 for widescreen tvs and 4:3 for older monitors. Hope I'm not overdoing things here.

This is just so shocking Stimpy. Thank God you are still with us. It's unthinkable that someone could do this to you and simply drive away. But then again in our so-called modern society maybe it's not. I'm from an older generation myself and can never get my head around things like this. My prayers are with you for a good recovery.

Hi Jason. Enjoy your well deserved break. We promise not to wreck the forums while you're away!

A few more oldie platforms (jpg) and logos (png) images.

bd000 this is an awesome concept, way nicer than selecting a platform from the sidebar, and much more Platform information friendly. The little hover icons akin to those on the Games boxart images being used to display a Platform Details popup box with the device's statistics fields and user notes, and an Images popup box to view images of the device plus whatever images the user adds like variations, peripherals etc. The bad news is that the download link shows a Dropbox 404 item possibly deleted or removed. I was really looking forward to installing and checking this out. As a 3rd party addon I'm assuming it will work with LaunchBox 4.9 as well as the new 5.0 betas (the BigBox ones). I'd love to see Jason integrating this concept into LaunchBox. Great vision and work here bd000. Just one thing. Just below the download link you mention the option of adding a link from the main (all games) LaunchBox to the main menu. What will this actually do?

Hi bd000 just some platform images for some vintage British Home Computers - some a reworking and some new.

Hi Jason. I updated to the new beta (5.0.0.3) and this time when I try to play a game in BBM nothing happens, no error message just no response. But any non-game Additional App (e.g. auto-run an XPadder game profile first) works ok. Out of curiosity I unticked the Minimise LaunchBox when launching games and Restore LaunchBox when exiting games and success at last. Games are now launching across all my platforms in BBM. On a separate note I notice in the Manage Platforms box that there is a folder associated with each platform, and all have the same path type Games\platform name. I can't find a folder called Games in my LaunchBox folder. I keep all my game platforms folders (emulators, games etc) in a folder in LaunchBox called Platforms. Do I need to do any editing of the folder paths ishown in Manage Platforms?

Hi Jason, running version 5.0.0.2 and so far it looks good. But if I try to play a game on any platform. I get this error popup.

Hi folks. I went and got myself Chrome plated and now the Upload Attachments box is showing the Drag and Drop Files here so things look like they are working. Now that I can finally use this, I haven't got anything to upload LOL Many thanks for all your help and patience with me on this issue.

Just 2 more platform images. Acorn Electron http://i58.tinypic.com/qmz1w3.jpg Acorn Archimedes (revised) http://i62.tinypic.com/34ihdmu.jpg

Hi Jason. I just don't know what to say to this gift. This was really not necessary. You see all us folk are just happy and privileged to be using LaunchBox and helping one another on the forum when we can. But thank you very much and thank you for the awesome experience that is LaunchBox.

Hi bd000 I'm using IE9 with no script blocking. System is Vista 32 SP2. Hi Jason. Clicking Add Files (plus everything else) but no response. Situation critical SOS

Final Burn Alpha seems to be like virtually all Arcade emulators, Mame excepted, that work fine in their own GUIs, but have issues with external frontends like LaunchBox. I can get FBA to work with LaunchBox (launches the game) when it's used as an application with the game as a parameter (image 1). But be prepared for several seconds of intense flashing before the game screen appears. It reports an invalid path when used in Emulation mode (image 2). There was an issue with WinKawaks some time ago where the Emulator GUI opened but no game loaded, and the solution was to either go with the application route or use bd000's great little script. I'm not too sure if we're looking at a similar issue here. But why not check out this script and see if it is suitable or can be modified to work, but remember that FBA can handle way more systems than the 3 supported by WinKawaks. At the moment. This works. http://i.imgur.com/jiHaV1T.png This doesn't. http://i.imgur.com/k5HsVha.png Note: Image paths are just examples for my computer and are relative to the folder where LaunchBox app is.

Many thanks bd000 and Jason for your replies. I've tried all I can but don't know how to upload using "https://www.launchbox-app.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-image-" Also regarding the Upload Attachments, I can get nothing to happen in the Select Files/Add Files window region. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, or maybe I just don't know what I'm doing heheh.

You don't realise how hard this is until you decide to have a go yourself, trying to come up with something that's not going to sound obscure, highbrow, nerdy or just nonsense later on. Mind you it may not be too pressing at the moment, as the new mode will be launched from inside LaunchBox, but when it eventually goes standalone as the new LaunchBox then the name will play a big role in advertising it and attracting users. When that happens the new name might work better if the LaunchBox bit was retired. Anyway here goes with my 2 cents worth. LaunchBox MaxView LaunchBox GamesRoom LaunchBox Arena LaunchBox Stadium LaunchBox GAMMA (Games And Multi Media App) I'm beginning to see why Mr Gates and Old Man Google hire pros for this.

Hi bd000 Here's a few not on your list. All 3 computer images and the Arc logo are PD. The rest is your's truly on Paint.NET. Acorn Archimedes http://i.imgur.com/Qt7RoqX.jpg BBC Micro http://i.imgur.com/WKkd0Hy.jpg Colour Genie http://i.imgur.com/6VUvZ8U.jpg

I've looked at image uploads which have the following property and would love to know how it's done. "https://www.launchbox-app.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-image-" And any help with how to use the upload attachments feature would be most welcome too. I'm all at sea with this. Been using Imgur, but don't like how it puts a link to it's site on.

Hi Jason. This is a really exciting direction in which you're taking LaunchBox. The layout looks great, not too cluttered, and I really like the image thumbnails suggested by bd000. Maybe these could be scrollable and active in that clicking one would bring up the full size screenshot in a window or full screen depending on your configuration. http://i.imgur.com/HY81bBQ.jpg The Play, Open Folder etc sidebar on the left could be expanded to link to other game related things like the game manual. The only thing I'm not too keen on is the alphabet ladder for quick game navigation. While the idea is great, it looks out of place and takes from the overall look. Definitely needs to be hid in it's current form. The alphabet could also be horizontal at screen bottom, or in a checkerboard style popup. I can't wait for this development to appear - it's like waiting for Christmas!

Yes it's great to actually play some games in between playing with LaunchBox heheh. I've always liked to have 2 games on the go so I can switch when I get a bit brain-lagged with one of them. At the moment I'm playing Citadel and a sort of enhanced Quake. Citadel is an old arcade adventure game (1985) which I'm playing under emulation. Once I time-machine my mind back to the 8-bit graphics era I find this game great fun to play. It has a large world to explore, many puzzles to solve, lots of enemies to evade or defeat and for me it's the cat's pyjamas. http://i.imgur.com/WTCD3u2.jpg And when I'm stuck or just Citadeled out, I turn to Lord Havoc's Quake. Hard to describe this, sort of a mod of the original MS-DOS game, using a custom Windows based engine to give way nicer graphics, textures, lighting and much much more. http://i.imgur.com/K5gNUYS.jpg

Hi Wattoo. There is a workaround but only if you have the Premium version. Select Spacing from the Options menu and set the "Game Text Lines to Show" to 0.

Hi Kriven. I use XPadder too and it works fine from the Additional Apps feature. Not sure how similar the JoyToKey command line is, but here's a couple of snaps showing the two Additional Apps to launch an XPadder game profile before a game and then close the Profiler when the game is quit. The /M switch just minimises XPadder to the tray, and the /C switch closes XPadder if it's detected as running.

Many thanks Jason.
