Probably something on my end, but the 2nd beta version today, the one just uploaded, will not launch. Usually, it re-launches after updating but did not. Also, my normal icon to launch LB is not working.

I love that you added checkboxes for what notes to include. I will probably leave out ports and I'm sure someone else will want those notes, so it's great to have options.

I would like to humbly suggest that labeling and dividing the notes in the changelog to correspond with the beta # will make it easier for beta users to identify what changes were made in the most recent versions and give some direction in what to look for while beta testing. ex. Beta 10: These changes were made... etc...

I just finished acquiring a split rom set (because everyone told me to... lol) and have been waiting for your new Lightspeed version to get it set up. Probably will do that today. I think some of the features in Lightspeed (filters, rom moving, merged roms, etc...) are going to fill in some gaps for some MAME users who don't even use Launchbox. I think it's becoming a very helpful tool.

If you have been wanting to get your MAME collection in LaunchBox, you need this!

I use title screens.

It took most of a day when I did mine and I only have about 100 games.

Antropus said Drybonz, You might like to know that the next version of Lightspeed will support what you want to do. By now you probably already moved ahead and downloaded the split sets, but I'm adding this feature to Lightspeed for anyone with merged sets to use. Cheers, -Kris I actually am in the process of setting up a split set even as I read this, but I think it's a great feature as I am seeing plenty of merged sets still available for download... so I think there will always be someone to appreciate that convenience. So, thanks for adding that.

DOS76 said How did you get the CD's to run in ME Hey Derek... I remember years ago I was going crazy trying to get Ys and Rondo of Blood to work in Magic Engine. I finally discovered that the problems were mostly with the image format. There were a lot of bad images floating around that ME didn't like.

I used to always use Magic Engine, but now I use the Mednafen core in Retroarch.

I'm looking forward to the first two there... also Ultima Ascendant, and the new River City Ransom.

Well, I figured out how to get my bezels on the second monitor with RL... What I ended up doing was copying my entire RocketLauncher folder into a RocketLauncher 2 folder, then setting them up as two separate emulators in LaunchBox... the RocketLauncher 2 is set to display bezels on my second monitor (since RL doesn't have those bezel settings per game). Now I just change between the two in LB per game, depending on which monitor I want it on. So, I can use RL bezel packs, and the style I made, above... as well as the default cropped vertical style in MAME. Here's one I just finished for Centipede. :)

Here's a bezel I made tonight from existing art that is for playing Pacman on my second monitor in portrait orientation... unfortunately, I haven't quite figured out how to make RocketLauncher display on the second monitor for individual games yet.

Can anyone tell me how to open an individual game on a second monitor with RocketLauncher, while using a bezel?

I wish someone in the entire world of emulation could translate that page... lol. :P

Nice! I see Version 12 R4 at the top of the Japanese page... but isn't that the last version?

By the time those are affordable 4k movies will be the standard and we will all need the 100TB minimum to keep up. :P

Finished my basic default vertical... probably add more on to both when I get the inspiration. So between my defaults and the custom sets I have bezels for all games which was my goal.

Thanks for the input... appreciate it.

Yeah, either way... it would be a great feature but I was mainly wondering if you had some insight on the conversation as well. On a side note, I was looking at what I would call "important clones" last night and I have about 10-20, so Derek's solution to "double up" and throw the split roms for those in with my merged set works. Ultimately, I agree that the merged sets seem less practical these days but they are still out there. I will go back to a split set if I can find a clean break in the action.

DOS76 said If its one game why don't you just download the clone rom individually and add it to your rom folder and LaunchBox. There's a few, but that would actually be a pretty good work-around... thanks.

Ok, I was afraid that might be the case... thanks for the replies and help.

Hey Antropus... just wanted to bring this conversation to your attention to see if you might know the best way to add an individual clone from a merged set. If you have any ideas, most appreciated. https://www.launchbox-app.com/forum/troubleshooting/import-clone-from-merged-set#p13563

DOS76 said I thought last time I used ClearMAMEPro it didn't work because it didn't create any new ROMs but now that I think about it would a merged set get new ROMs or would new files just be added to your old ones. Derek, I thought it just pulled the clone files out and re-zipped them into the individual re-named zip files... but I'm scared to try it for fear of messing up my set or having to reconfigure multiple emulators... lol.

SentaiBrad said If all you want to do is add this 1 game you can force import anything, including duplicates (at least as far as LB see's) so my reply still holds true, just manually add the game. Obviously this doesn't work for the entire set. Yeah, I see what you are saying and did try to manually add it... the problem is that my clones are merged into the same zips as the parents, so I don't know how to make LaunchBox find the clones from the same zip. I may be missing something and if you can tell me how to do it I really appreciate it. I am not always able to figure this stuff out on my own. :)
