  1. Fix from the eXo Discord:

    Quote

    go to the xml folder
    run merge_9xall
    then copy the new Windows 9x.xml it generates to your .\data\platforms folder
    overwriting the existing one
    does this with launchbox closed
    when you restart LB, your games list will be fixed

  2. Hey guys, I recently added another round of Japanese exclusives to my collection. Maybe some of you want to do the clear logos for the following games :) 

     

    PS1:

    R: Rock'n Riders

  3. You can use the Audit feature to do that.

    In LaunchBox go to Tools -> Audit -> All Games…

    This process might take a while depending on the size of your collection and where you have your LaunchBox installation stored.

    Once it’s loaded you can press Ctrl + A on your keyboard to select all entries and then press Ctrl + C to copy the data.

    Now you can paste that into Excel, Google Sheets or LibreCalc and do with it whatever you want.

    Leave it to me to like the oldest one.  I honestly thought it was newer with the v2 but I guess not.  I've attached screenshots so you can see I'm not totally crazy.

    All of that being said, I did find the problem.  The skin defaults to Vertical View 2.  I tested each of the others and my findings are as follows:

    • Vertical Wheel 1 = shows fanart properly
    • Vertical Wheel 2 = black screen
    • Vertical Wheel 3 = black screen
    • Vertical Wheel 4 = shows fanart properly

    Guess I just need to play with the views more or choose a newer skin, though I don't really care for any others personally.

    Thanks!

    .

    Ah, I see the problem now. Vertical Wheel 2 should play an animated background video instead of using background images.

    Vertical Wheel 3 plays the gameplay video on fullscreen (or displays screenshots if you have no gameplay videos available), so no fanart background either.

    Sorry for the confusion. I haven’t looked at this theme in years, so I totally forgot about that.

     

    My guess is that your ultrawide screen also messes a bit with the intended presentation because the theme was never designed for that aspect ratio.

  5. I’m not quite sure what to tell you. The theme is very old and you’re the first one who reported this issue. I just tested both versions myself and they work just fine here.

    What Views are you using? Are you 100% sure that the games that you’ve tested have fanart images associated to the correct image type (Fanart - Background)?

    Also make sure that “Fanart - Background” is at the very top of your Background Priorities.

    Gegege no Kitarou: Youkai Daigekisen, ebay image helped. Best I could do.

    It's definitely good enough for me! As always, thanks again for the terrific job you and the others do here in this thread. It’s really appreciated :)

    Bakusou Dekotora Densetsu Black done as best I and AI could do. I tried doing Gegege no Kitarou: Youkai Daigekisen but couldn't find an image good enough to work with.

    Awesome! Thank you very much!

    I honestly thought that Bakusou Dekotora Densetsu Black would be the tougher one of them both.

     

     

    I found these photos on ebay. Maybe they are better to work with?

    Perhaps the upper part could also be reused from this clear logo of another Kitarou game?

  8. Hey guys, I got 8 Japan-exclusive PS2 games that are missing the clear logo. I hope it’s fine for you when I just post everything that needs a logo and not trickle feed them to you guys.

     

    Kaena

    For this I already found a logo without the Japanese text and with no transparent background, in case that helps

  9. Yeah, those games that share the same title across different games in different countries can sometimes be tricky.

    The Pokémon Stadium Kin Gin entry in the database should probably be deleted as it’s the same game as the western Pokemon Stadium 2.
    The other entries look fine to me. I don’t think that other fixes are needed besides deleting that duplicate entry.

    Instead you should look at the following entry for the first Japanese Stadium game: https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/73937-pocket-monsters-stadium

    Now to your problem. Your media mismatch probably comes from LaunchBox confusing your Japanese ROMs with the western versions. Make sure that your games are linked to the correct database entries.

    To fix them you’ll need to rename the game title to the main title that’s listed in the database. So, for the first Japanese Pokemon Stadium you’ll need to rename your game to “Pocket Monsters' Stadium”, delete the current database ID and make LB search for a new one. The second Japanese Stadium should be renamed to just “Pokémon Stadium” and Kin Gin to “Pokémon Stadium 2”. Delete all your previously downloaded media files and let LaunchBox redownload them. You can change the game names back to the proper Japanese titles after that.

    If you are also using EmuMovies to download media, you should be aware that you’ll most likely get the US artwork in those edge cases. Pocket Monsters' Stadium should be fine since it was only available in Japan, the other two not so much.

    And to be clear before there’s any confusion. I’m talking about the game titles inside LaunchBox. The file names of your ROMs should be left untouched.
