dunno i must be a special snowflake .. i point the system to tho cover photos in my hyperspin folder that already exists and nothing happens ... nothing shows ... same with my folders i use for fan art and backgrounds and so on and so forth ... If it wasnt an issue that i havent myself tried to work through and solve ... i wouldnt have posted it as one . I set the folders pointed to the ones i use for every other front end i own and Launchbox acts like its seeing nothing ...UNTIL i change a file to have the -01 in the file name ... thanks for your help though its been super informative

im sorry i could have SWORN i typed Batman The Movie-01 above as an example but oh well ive never been one to soap box semantics Anyway it seems Jason knew pretty directly what i was referring to because as i stated and still holds true ... if files are named with anything after the game name itself as in Batman (USA).jpg launchbox does not seem to find them , as most other front ends have come together on a sort of universally accepted naming structure (i belive good name is the standard most widely used now? Dont quote me i could be wrong) this creates a huge issue with those of us running multiple front ends because having to have a special set of images special named to how launch box likes them is a pain and going in to set each game with the direct file ... right click .. edit ... add picture erc etc etc can be pretty cumbersome for thousands of games . This is why my original suggestion was to add a variable after the game name to resolve the issue pretty sure itll get sorted though ill just keep trying those betas jason puts forth

So frustrated with trying to get scummvm integrated in my launchbox I have 221 games i run through another Front End that starts with an H and setting those up was a breeze but launchbox keeps letting me down! i scan my folders to import as roms and get 0 i import them as dos games and only get 79 games What can i do ?? Like i said they all work in H and also work when launched from rocketlauncher but i cant even get the darn things to populate in launchbox

id bet if i was from UK i would have said English UK .... just an unfiltered thought there . It just seems like a more likely thing for someone from the UK to do . MOVING ON English ... US

my windows language is english

Using latest beta ... voice recognition turned on ... reboot of Launchbox successful but it took a loooong time ... booted into launchbox now ... i dont see any choose your device button @Jason Carr also it hears nothing i say . Im using the mic included in Logitech's HD PRO C90 webcam . Everything recognizes my speech besides Launchbox . Hope this helps!

wait till you see what i got in there now lol

@lordmonkus neither of our ways is the wrong way to do it theyre just opposite sides of the same coin.

it all comes down to nostalgia ... that interest is piqued differently for each of us ... My Grandfather had an FM Towns in his game room and I always messed it while we stayed with him on holiday . also believe it or not if you are truly in it for historical reasons as well as nostalgic ones , just because a game exists on X , Y , Z system it certainly does not mean its the same game. Street fighter 2 snes / genesis / arcade Mortal combat snes / genesis / arcade pac man atari 2600 / arcade thousands more examples exist ALSO just because a game exists on NINTENDO NES as well as FAMICOM does not mean these two games will be the same either . Its about faithful recreation of a moment in history as much as it is about me sitting at my Poppa's desk messing about with his toys and having fun

odd i didnt see anny replies until the mod one lol ... I currently use a emulator called UNZ paired with rocket launcher and daemon tools and yeah i havent had a problem with that combo yet Videos can be found throuugh launchbox itself , Emmumovies and Hyperspin , ill have to check on my themes i use several . One im almost sure of is Minimal HD

crash occurs randomly for no apparent reason and closes out of big box

email with video link sent @Jason Carr subject line of email is RE: voice rec makes pc hang

no problem like i said the feature sounds cool as hell if i can even do one small thing to get it where it needs to be im down for it lol

i am recording the process on my pc ... i have just about top of the line components and it pegs cpu at about 20 percent ... ill post a private youtube link very soon @Jason Carr maybe that will help you track down where the issue lies

i installed and it hung on clicking ok after option was ticked ... waited for a long time and it crashed now im trying to start from desktop shortcut again. boot up fine but it never searches for the voice on boot so im thinking it crashes while trying to apply and it never actually applies so after boot it just boots as normal without voice enabled ,,, probably preferable to less savvy users so that if it doesnt work it crashes and is still usable after crash lol . I agree with the above ,... its not an absolute need but MAN it looked cool@

ive been working pretty hard on my Launchbox and wanted to see what you all thought since a lot of it is thanks to this great community ! Im especially proud of getting all the videos to play within the AVGN and Classic tv commercials section (over 1500 classic tv commercials dealing with vidja games and arcades and stuff!) Check it out folks! god bless my build

@Jason Carr if you need anything at all from me that would help make launch box better im all in ... like i said i still have a bunch of other systems to add but i can upload my current xml to a file sharer so you can test it out if youd like an extreme case to work with . Gmail wouldnt allow me to email such a large file lol here check it out its what ive been able to accomplish thus far with this great community MY LAUNCHBOX 6.9 BETA 9 SETUP

it builds my games list super fast so i dont know BUT i just BARELY started adding the "N" consoles and have so many more to go lol ... I love Launchbox and have got it set up in a way that looks pretty damn cool to me lol

@Jason Carr oddly i searched again and fount the string you mentioned ... not sure at all how it showed up suddenly but im surely going to chalk that up to user error (typical for me lol) so i changed it to false and booted right up for me thank goodness . hope this gets sorted because honestly Jason it looks very cool and super impressive

@Jason Carr when loading launchbox it gets to the screenshot below and just hangs and becomes non responsive and just never loads ... i left it for the whole time since Polymorph recomended just leaving it be so about 37 minutes just loads endlessly

also a strange note the code you told us to look for does not seem to exits in my launchbox.xml file that exists in my root launchbox folder ... is there another file elsewhere i should be looking at? im sending ou the one i found now ... hopefully as i believe mine is over 80mb in size

cpuz report included ...kind of a monster pc hehe DESKTOP-5VIKIIV.txt

launchbox wont start for me to disable

same issues here....launchbox stuck in loading box of death

i think so . I see the system always requiring seeing the _01 after an image to populate it as maybe a pothole ... whereas if it only looked for the game name with variables after it may auto populate what we already have ? Rather than going into every game , clicking on edit , adding picture, selecting what picture it is , clicking okay . Pointing launchbox system to an artwork folder thats filled with the naming conventions that say emu movies and other systems use would be a huge boon to the ease of use and setup for folks im sure . Like in my original example Batman The Movie (Europe) already exists in the folder Launchbox is just looking for something to fill that slot so it looks for Batman The Movie-01 This does not exist so it returns no cover Changing the system to instead look for a variable for the first file that matches Batman The Movie* would in turn provide a match and something pretty to see Maybe even setting a toggle in options for folks who would like to continue using their existing method (i mean i dont know if that would be necessary as it would still be looking for Batman The Movie-02 , Batman The Movie-03) I hope im not over explaining it and making it sound like a complicated process My wife tells me I tend to over explain things
