I've noticed this over the past year or so, where whenever I start up Launchbox, certain games' boxart is missing. Not even shows as an outline. Along with random games' boxart goes straight up missing. I just scrolled through my NES, SNES and Genesis games and around 15 or 20 games have boxart either gone or become corrupt and I have to re-download them. Does this happen to anyone else and is there a reason/resolution for this?

Just grab everything from Vimm's Lair. the files are in .7z format, but that just needs to be extracted, and inside is the .xiso file that Xemu needs. No need to convert anything.

Thanks, good to know. I'm on the beta branch, so I turned that off and all is right with the world. Now, I just gotta delete and reimport the original games I had.

I built a new PC today and moved my LaunchBox drive into it. I installed Steam and downloaded a few normal and VR games. I ran LaunchBox to test out some NES and other games to make sure all emulators ran fine, and after LaunchBox updated, it auto imported my Steam games. I absolutely do not want this as I keep my LaunchBox strictly for retro and want it portable as well. It also removed all my other "Windows" games that I had setup like various older PC games like No One Lives Forever 1 and 2 and others. How do I turn this off completely?

Ok awesome, thank you very much. I think that will solve my problem nicely!

When you say "Create an additional app", I'm not sure exactly what you mean. I don't believe I've heard that term in LaunchBox before.

I want to play Metroid Prime both with Dolphin, and sometimes in VR with the Dolphin VR fork. Which I have setup in LaunchBox. However my file for Metroid Prime is .rvz. Since the Dolphin VR emulator was last updated in 2016, it doesn't recognize the .rvz file type. So I have to have a .iso of the game as well. Simple Enough. But I want to have LaunchBox just have the single Gamecube platform and single entry for Metroid Prime, where I can select the different version of the game and launch it with the different version of Dolphin for VR. Is this possible at all? I really don't want to have a Gamecube and Gamecube VR platforms.

Was in the middle of rebuilding a new LaunchBox setup, got the prompt to install the update and did. Now importing Roms crashes LaunchBox. Not sure why, but it's crashed at least a dozen times importing a curated Mame romset and a couple different systems.

Yeah I have a premium license, I rarely ever use BigBox, but I guess that just will have to change if I want to use the controller more.

I feel like I should know this, but I've been going through and redoing my LaunchBox setup to make it perfect. I've finally started dealing with the controller mapping and I was trying to swap between systems and games. Like jumping from SNES Super Mario World then jump to N64's Super Mario 64 as an example... and I can't figure out how to jump between the systems and games with just a controller. I know I can use the mouse, but I'd really like to just use the controller, and I went into the controller mapping settings, and I couldn't figure out a setting for it. Is this just not able to be done? Seems like a pretty basic one that should be in there and I feel like I'm just probably not seeing it somewhere.

Sorry, but how do I actually add/create a playlist? I've been looking in the Tools menu and can't find it anywhere. I'm on 12.1

Cool, thanks! Hopefully a Home screen is something that's been suggested before, and can be implemented, I think it would be a nice way to keep track of a few games I want to play at a time.

Ok, but there is nothing like a home screen currently implemented, right? How would I go about making a playlist of recently played games? I think a Home Screen is something simple and basic, and would be nicer to see at the startup, than just the last selected platform

It's been a while since I spent time in LaunchBox other than just playing games. I was wondering if there is a Home menu or screen to kinda display at the startup, one where it displays games that I've currently played, so I can get back into them quickly instead of having to go through the platform list and scroll through all the games. I'm not sure if this feature is already in LaunchBox/BigBox or not. If it is not, what I'm thinking of is kinda like Plex's home screen where it has currently watched/coming up next movies/TV and new added content for the libraries made. Hopefully this is already implemented and I just need to maybe make a change to my setup. I haven't really changed it up since like 2018

Just installed it and it's working flawlessly! Thanks for the hard work and bringing this version back.
