  1. Thanks @Jason Carr, I'm not sure that works if the platform has already been saved with a "scrape as".  I've tried changing the field to nothing and back to the wanted platform as well as changing it to another platform and then back (hitting "okay" between all changes).  The various fields don't fill in.

  2. Is there a way to manually trigger the download of platform details?  For instance, let's say I manually create a platform called "Nintendo 64 (World)", can I manually trigger the download of all the Nintendo 64 info (processor, memory, etc.)?

  3. MEAGRE

    View File

    This Big Box theme is designed to show more of a game's images than usually found in a given theme.  The name derives from my old MEAGRE interface.  Currently, there are only three views, the system menu, a vertical wheel platform view, and the games text list.  

    Please give any feedback you would like as I would love to improve on the theme over time. 

    This was created using the Community Theme Creator.

  4. This isn't going to be for everyone.  Attached is a collection of box - front images I'm using for my Visual Pinball set.  These are backglass images collected from various sources, a number of them touched up to look better.  I have resized all images to a 1280x1024 format.  It may be sacrilege for some but I find it appealing and most backglasses don't suffer from over-stretching in my opinion. 

    Anyway, since a good amount of editing and google searching went into collecting these images, I thought I would post them here in hopes that someone else might find them useful.  There are 382 tables represented.  I use this in a strictly desktop environment.

  5. I know this won't be for everyone but I made this for myself and thought others might get a use out of it.  This started as a project to fill in the missing box fronts for my PopCap games set but I ended up making fronts for all 71 games in the collection I have.  Some turned out better than others and although they are not historically accurate, I like having all the games share a similar box style and conformity. 

    There were some missing clear logos from the initial image downloads and the other set posted here so I'm uploading my set of those as well.  Hopefully it helps someone out there.

  6. I found a fix.  Thank you for the assistance.  Yeah, I've played with second monitor backglass before but currently running this on a single monitor.

    On the AC/DC table anyway, I set the DMD F1 settings to external DMD.  I then edited the ini file so stayontop is true..

    Are they actually missing from the box front images folder? Just want to confirm if they in fact are missing or simply not being linked to the game. If images are still there can you confirm if the name of the image matches either the rom name or the name of the game exactly as it appears in Launchbox?

    I had an issue where a metadata update changed the name of the game and a few images did not get linked because the name of the image and the game was now different. 

    So here is one of my "Box - Front" directories in the first screenshot.  The file names look right to me.  That said, there is a folder called just "Front" that is empty,  As a test, I copied by 10-Yard Fight "Box - Front" image to the "Front" folder (see second screenshot) and refreshed Launchbox.  Sure enough, the box front showed up!  Ok, so what is this "Front" folder and why is Launchbox looking there instead of the "Box - Front" directory?  What did I miss?

    Also try going to Tools > Refresh All Images. If you can though, do one thing at a time and let us know which thing fixes it, as we may have related bug.

    Tried both refreshing missing media and refreshing all images (one at a time).  Unfortunately, neither addressed the issue, box fronts are still missing.  I did download a new box front for a game and it is being retained so the missing box front issue does appear to be from an "event" rather than a static problem, if that helps.

  9. After updating to the latest beta, all of my box front images were removed.  This is on every game on every platform.  If I edit any given game, it simply knows nothing about the box front images that were previously saved. 

    Any ideas?  The other images (3D boxes, screenshots, etc) all remain but all box fronts have been forgotten.  My "Box - Front" folders are all still populated with correct image files.

  10. A friend of mine in high school (Around 1988) in the Houston area had an Amiga.  I knew it was a superior system in regards to graphics but everyone seemed to be adopting PCs at the time and allure of DOS was too strong for me, ended up convincing my parents to buy a 286 as our first computer.

    It's a small world.  That friend went on to develop Questlord (for android and iOS).  Another friend of ours went on to work at Ensemble Studios in Dallas and eventually became a producer on Age of Empires.  He went on to found Robot Entertainment when MS folded Ensemble.  Completely by coincidence, I also live in the Dallas area and "helped" in getting ExoDOS off the ground by giving eXo a platform to work with in the form of MEAGRE.  To top it off, just a few weeks ago I was playtesting a game at Bethesda (same office as current id).    

    The Video Game Museum is a definite must and really gives you a nostalgia overload.  Here is a link to an album of my visit.

    I use DELUGE and have no issues, they and others recommend qbitorrent, although I had major issues with that after awhile...kept stalling, but with deluge no issues at all anymore.

    Thanks!  Deluge appears to be working through it. 

  12. Thought I would ask here since people here are fairly knowledgeable.  Every torrent I download from pleasuredome stalls and the tracker shows as not working?  Torrents from other sites download and seed without issue but pleasuredome torrents all fail.  I'm using qbTorrent specifically.  I've found a couple of forum hits via google discussing similar issues but changing settings they recommend such as turning off cache don't seem to have an affect.  Anyone have something similar happen or know a fix?  It's not a big deal, I can wait until eXo uploads to other locations.

  13. Here's the entirety of my Movies.xml file I'm using to test.

  14. What am I missing here?  This is the first plug-in I've tried.  I created a new platform and added a couple of movies to it.  I've pointed the executable to the movie file itself and given it an appropriate name.  I right mouse click on a movie and choose Scrape Movie and nothing happens.  Refreshing does not help. 

    Do I need to add more information details other than the title?

    I did the same for Full Throttle ... but when I went to play it it asked for the CD. Any ideas on getting past this?

    If I understand the issue you are having, the "CD" is included in the eXodos game folder.  You need to edit the conf file being used to load the CD as a drive letter in DOSBox.  The conf file in the eXodos Full Throttle folder should have the right text at the bottom of the file.

  16. Would it be possible to store the Scummvm launcher names in an external file?  I'm referring to the word "monkey" used for Secret of Monkey Island or "kq1" used for King's Quest I.  I'm building a separate Scummvm platform section in my LaunchBox and it would be great to add some of the games from the latest Scummvm release ("Hi-Res Adventures" for instance) and games only supported by the daily builds without needing to wait for an update to LaunchBox.

  17. @cleverest.  Sorry for the confusion.  I'm referring to the various xml files Launchbox stores under Data\Platforms.  If you don't have a given platform's xml file there, you may want to add a game to LB manually within that platform to create one.

    So the steps would be

    1. Close Launchbox but make sure you have a platform specific xml file under Data\Platforms
    2. Copy said file to the root of Launchbox
    3. Filter MEAGRE to just show that platform (under the Category menu)
    4. Export from MEAGRE to copied file in LB's root folder
    5. Move root folder file back to under Data\Platforms overwriting the file already there
    6. Restart Launchbox

  18. Unfortunately, since MEAGRE is working off of the one XML file format, you have to do a bit of file manipulation to export to the current version of Launchbox.  What you can do is copy one of the data files (say your ms-dos.xml file for instance) into the root folder of Launchbox.  Then filter Meagre to just show DOS games and then export to this ms-dos.xml file.  That will make sure all the images get copied into the right locations.  When complete, you can copy the ms-dos.xml file back into the Data folder.

    The export does not move anything.  It copies the images and extras to the corresponding Launchbox folders and leaves the games in the Exodos directories.  The various Exodos bat files are then used as the "executable" for each game in Launchbox with a hard path to each file.
