The sooner you can get your hands on one the better, I'd say. I'm loving the EmuMovies scanning and LB is working great. However, I'm tearing my hair out with all the "halfway there" PC streaming apps for the Shield. Gamestream - Unless all your games are Steam purchases it's useless. Remotr - Opens Big Box, some jankiness and artifacting navigating BB, had to map B & A buttons to Esc and Enter on a custom controller mapping to go through menus in BB, MANY problems opening games from BB to Retroarch Kiniconsole - doesn't seem to communicate Nvidia Shield controller input to BB Kainy - constant version mismatch, unable to even connect to PC Moonlight - formerly Limelight, requires GEForce Experience which is a tragic mess of undetected games haphazardly linked to Steam, which I uninstalled Splashtop THD - doesn't pick up Nvidia Controller, and gives me a cute little tip about swiping the screen to go into game mode, no matter how many times i rubbed my tv screen it didn't work (i didn't actually but you get my drift) As long as the navigation and game loading part of LB can play nice with a game streaming app, that would be all we need. All that being said, if anybody knows a proven way to stream LB and games from PC to PC that includes controller support, let me know. I thought I would replace my HP Mini Stream with this source of nightmares they call the Nvidia Shield, but this is definitely not seeming to be the case.

Merry Xmas, would love to give the gift of Launchbox!

Win7 x64, Intel i5, 8GB RAM, latest LB version I don't know what happened, but all of a sudden this morning when I double-clicked the shortcut on my desktop LB did not open and there were three instances of LB in Task Manager; none of which I can end the process of. I've restarted regularly and restarted in safe mode.

Yes I forgot to mention that part about Excel... Good news, though, I finally got it to work but for no rhyme or reason. For editing I'm using an XML editor and using its "grid view" that resembles a spreadsheet. I used another website's public API for getting genres and descriptions, as GamesDB seems to still has a lot of growing pains to go through. For example, "Racing Game 1" will have a genre of "Racing/Simulation" and its sequel "Racing Game 2" will have a genre of "Racer Game". Also, the descriptions can sometimes leave a lot to be desired. So far the Excel/XML editor combo has worked for copy/pasting thousands of entries at a time as long as I take out html tags and carriage returns. If there was a way to copy/paste into Launchbox's list view, though.... FEATURE REQUEST! Haha... still enjoying the app very much, keep up the good work.

I did a search on this forum and could not find this specific problem. Have also submitted a bug report. Version 5.5 on Win 7 x64. After editing the XML, in particular the "Notes" column, I get the following error upon startup followed by a crash to desktop. ​System.FormatException: String was not recognized as a valid Boolean. at System.Boolean.Parse(String value) at LaunchBox.Data.Game.GetBooleanValue(DataRow row, String column) at LaunchBox.Data.Game.LoadFromDataRow(DataRow row) at LaunchBox.Data.DataManager.Load() at LaunchBox.Data.DataManager..ctor(Boolean bare) at LaunchBox.Program.Main(String[] args) I've stripped the records of carriage returns and characters. Launchbox.xml is not open in any other program. Any ideas?

The dot net 4.5 install said everything was up to date. However, I was unable to reproduce the problem this morning and I have two possible reasons. I *think* I opened LB as Administrator, and I did NOT have PCSX2 open in the background this time. My mobo is a G7 Sniper, and tweaking the dummy power load setting in BIOS didn't change anything. I'll keep attempting to reproduce it though in case I can assist with some bug reporting.

Thank you for the prompt reply! I'll try the .Net reinstall, good idea. I'm running Win 7 x64 on an Intel board. If needed I still have the event logs. If there's any other info I can provide or logging applications that would help let me know, please.

After uninstalling/reinstalling the program and also attempting to add while in Gamebox view, the computer still shut down by itself, again only while I was in the edit game screen after pressing "Add" down on the bottom.

I can play hours on end of demanding games with my pc but Launchbox has recently been the apparent cause of consistent, reproducible automatic shutdowns. Whenever I Add a game, go through the title search and start editing the notes it shuts the computer down without fail. I've saved three event log files after this has happened. I've updated my graphics card driver, reseated hardware, and am about to perform a clean install of LB 5.3, will update with the results of that later. I've always been in List view, too, will also attempt to reproduce in other views.

I'm not sure if anybody else figured this out, but the gray square with "fields" you see on sincro's Info tab is merely an example screenshot. I'm attempting to import MAMEs right now with the program...
