I noticed the RA website seemed to be really slow today (although I was able to get there... just had to wait), so maybe it's not even Stellar.

Cool... thanks for the reply. At least I don't have to waste any more time trying to fix it.

I tried Stellar today... sounds like a really good idea, but it just keeps telling me it can't reach the server when I click update. I made a firewall exception for it, but still no change. Anyone else?

Does anyone know if their new installer is set up so that it doesn't overwrite your settings, etc? I always used to end up losing my settings with RA when I upgraded, if I recall correctly.

It's a little silly. I'm sure almost everything posted on these forums contains, at least, a link to a link to a link to a link to a link to a link to a link to a link to some bios files somewhere in the pages. May as well delete all links... however, it's unlikely they are going to change that policy here, so you may just want to list the title of your youtube video, so people can search it, instead of listing the link. Hopefully, that would not get deleted.

What version of the DVD do you have? You need this one https://www.amazon.com/Dragons-Lair-20th-Anniversary-Box/dp/B00008G7PD Sometimes you can get them on ebay. The fact that it depends on an out-of-print for years DVD is completely retarded, but that's how it works.

There is rarely a notable update to the arcade side any more, so don't stress about getting all the updates.

The only emulator I could get any of those type of world builder games, such as Enchanted Scepters, running in was Vmac.

Can't wait to get rid of my xbox 360.

I've requested this feature several times... I hope it happens. As much time as people are spending on themes, it would be nice to have a decent looking image for games with missing art.

Right... I think it would make more sense if those various programs added support... it doesn't really seem like something Lightspeed was made to do, and it certainly wouldn't be light speed... but then it has grown quite a lot in the things it can do, so who knows. Seems like bloat to me, but maybe a lot of people would want it. I'm hoping for a full stable release before more is added.

Hey gerazz... it wouldn't depend on Lightspeed, but on whatever is displaying your images, such as Launchbox. Lightspeed just tells Launchbox where the files are at. If that program can display zipped images then you are good to go.

I have two monitors... and yes, google visual pinball 10.

I have my system set up specifically so that I can play pinball and vertical arcade games and then switch back to horizontal simply by rotating the bottom screen. Launchbox doesn't work with this vertical/horiz setup though.

No stress... take your time.

I was looking at the new auditing feature. I would like to be able to use this to rename my files to match the expected database name. I think this feature has been requested a lot before, but I would still like to see it.

Is something set to read only? or maybe in the program files folder where it can't overwrite?

This is a bit off-topic, but has anyone that is using Lightspeed to import wheel logos been able to assemble a 100% complete set? I have a bunch of missing ones in my set, even after filtering games. I had requested a feature for Launchbox to be able to set a generic default logo for missing logos for various platforms, but I don't think it was ever added.

Yeah, it only happened during installation and configuring the paths dialog, and after simply proceeding with the installation again, it was fine... so it was a very minor issue. *edit* Antropus, if we update to a new version, does it still remember our paths and preferences?

Thanks for the heads up... this looks awesome. I need to get a rom patcher... haven't used one in a while.

I tested this out tonight and everything in the setup and exporting process seems to be great. The only small glitch I saw was when Lightspeed was installing, the dialog to select the installation path closed... but as soon as I reopened it, it remained open and worked fine. This also happened when I got to the dialog for setting up all the paths... it closed after the first time it opened... then I reopened it and it worked fine. Other than that, I tried the export to an empty LB database, and then to my regular database with all my other stuff in it and they both seemed flawless. I definitely think the bit of extra time parsing and initial figuring out how to work it (it's pretty close to the old one, actually) is well worth it for the improved program. I like the arcade cabinet graphics. I'm going to go through the exported games in LB and see if I can find any flukes, but it will take a while. Initial impression is everything is good to go! *edit* I just noticed that Argus imported twice... identical. It might be the new 1941... lol.

Happy to see Lightspeed back in action. I will test it out this evening. Thanks.

FF VII, to me, was the game that ushered in the age of games having way too much movie and not enough game. It got a lot worse after that, of course, but I always think of that game as the one that changed things (for the worse, IMO).

Do you happen to have a screenshot of the new controller settings screen you mentioned in your other thread?
