  1. @Aevans0001 I as well have been having issues importing games onto the Shield (none pro edition). I have noticed that the upload will pause at certain games and shit there for 15, 20, sometimes 60 minutes and will not move to the next game. Some game it will scrape in seconds. It is very strange behavior. I have tried uploading them in batches but that isn't the issue because the upload will just freeze at certain games. I cannot tell if Launchbox is actually doing something in the background or is it having issues downloading certain media. I would like to see more information during the download media process, that way i can tell if it has really frozen. Plus, need a skip option that prompts after a few minutes if not seconds to skip the image download. Or, specify a location where the images are located. I have all the images i need in LaunchBox on my PC.

    Strange. I've tested with my Shield TV a million times, so I'm at a loss on that one. It has to be the Internet connection then I would figure. Does it actually crash or does it just sit there on that screen? Does it ever time out?

    Right now it never times out, just sits there. I am trying a few basic troubleshooting steps.

  3. I didn't see this specifically on the thread so my apologies if you already answered it. I mainly do my gaming on my shield tv and all my game files are on my Network Shared Drive and it works great with a system like RetroX where I can select my games folder on my share. Does LaunchBox Beta see network shares too? It would be a helpful feature to add the options in the app to select a specific directory in the options.

    I've managed to get it working from my SD card, by copying the app to my SD card from within Android Settings.

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't forget to copy the "LaunchBox" folder from the internal storage to your SD card ( in the right location, you know where !! ) !!!!!!!!!!!

    (this is because the settings app only copies the app over to the SD card, not our LaunchBox package)

    Don't forget to delete the LaunchBox folder from your internal storage after you've copied it over to your SD card,

    otherwise you have 2 packages in 2 locations, we don't want that do we ? LOL

     

    After a new installation of the Android app :

    Step 1 : Move the app to your SD card from within the Android settings app

    Step 2 : Create your package from within the windows app of Launchbox

    Step 3 : Copy the newly created "Android" folder on your pc to the root of your SD Card

    When it says the folder already exist, just continue, don't worry about that.

    Step 4 : Start LaunchBox on Android and enjoy !!!

    I have it downloaded and exported my database to a USB drive, but not sure what to do next. Inserting the USB drive in the shield and opening LaunchBox doesn't see the data. I was trying to move the launchbox app to the USB drive, but couldn't figure that out. There was not an open in app settings to move app to USB drive. I have developer options enabled.

    Okay, that's strange. I have a Shield TV that I've been using for testing, and haven't run into that. I should get crash reports here soon from the play store though; hopefully that will help to identify whatever the issue is.

    you have to press the remote and get the menu button will appear. the menu's are hidden when you launch on shieldtv

  6. Hey Guys,

    Got me a GPD Win and wanted to use BigBox on external usb low profile stick. I noticed that a lot of the images take forever to load. When I start the force image cache option it also takes such a long time and I cannot tell if it is actually doing anything. The status bar just sits there. Can I run the force images on another PC or is it specific to the PC bigbox is running on.

     

    Also, I want to trim down a lot of my ROMs from the list. Has anyone published their platform XML files for their top games?

  7. Can some let me know if I added a platform and my roms from the C:\Launchbox directory, but later I moved all my Roms to the C:\Games directory how can I bulk change the game source? When I edit bulk and select Source, this actually does not work if i change the value to C:\Games\

  8. New user here, hey Launchbox team! Love the product and I purchased the premium version so congrats on my business :) :) I have 1000+ roms in my collection and this may be the cause of it, but I am noticing that every time I try to delete a game from the list or add it to my favorites, it takes about 30 seconds to complete, sometimes longer. Wondering if this is normal and also, would there be a keyboard shortcut to assign multiple games to my favorites instead of doing each one manually? Thanks, dirty.
