    Hey everyone. This is my very first android theme I have made so don't be to hard on me ?

    Posting here as it's game related and thought you may all be interested! 

    Here is a little bit about the theme... 

    This theme was made with a mate 20 pro device and you may need to make some tweaks, I will include 3 screen sizes (19.5/9, 18.5/9 s8+, 18/9, more to come) but may have graphical off sets on some devices.

    You navigate the device like a real console, buttons and all! 

    There is special effects when playing music such as a sliding game cartridge with album art and song title that slides down when paused or song skipped etc. Coins and shrooms fall down on all screens when music is playing. 

    Battery light changes too
    >60% = green
    <60% = yellow
    <30% = red
    Charge cable connected = flashing green
    Cable connected to PC = flashing Blue

    Favorite apps
    You navigate these with the Dpad and press A on the desired app. (be sure to set up your apps under globals tab, and setup the right shortcuts to each app under shortcuts tab) 

    Weather
    Up/down toggles different weather pages
    A launches weather app

    Rss
    Up/Down scrolls next feed on that current site
    Select button changes to 2nd site in globals
    A opens currently displaying feed
    B returns you to the most current feed

    Any questions, just shoot me an email to the provided email on Google play and I will either help or take feedback. 

    Thanks and I hope you enjoy! 

    Ps. Light and dark mode are activated by touching the logo under the screen!

    There should never be any backups in the Data/Platforms folder, there is a specific Backups folder for those. That could be why you were having issues to start with, you had files there that didnt belong and where probably conflicting with the actual correct xml files.

    That was my thoughts, I thought that they backed themselves up in the current residing folder of whatever it backs up (wich to me sounded weird and defeated the purpose of a backup folder lol). I have no clue why they were there but back on version 9.something I started having the issues. Maybe a bug back then affected the OP like myself and most others didn't see the bug. It worked for me and haven't had any issues since last night when I deleted the backup files.

    Hey. Sorry to hear you are having trouble with this program, as its one of the best I have used period. I have also had issues over the duration of purchasing Launchbox to now, but with determination and trial and error, I have for the most part solved all my issues with the help of the community. I would also like to take a stab at helping you if possible... Now this is what I did in a similar situation as mine, but i literally "just" stumbled across the solution that helped me.... this has also been happening around version 9.?, in my case it was reverse... I had a file Gameslists.xml populating as a game under GBA that i would delete in launchbox (i even deleted the file in its folder on my hard drive), all to have it show back up after closing launchbox and relaunching. It frustrated me for months but just came to live with it. The solution for me was....

     

    (be sure launchbox is not running) 

    ****navigate to the following folder, backup these files just in case then delete them.*****

    head to the Launchbox install folder then

    \Data\Platforms\

    once in the platforms folder, copy all files with the word "backup" in it to another folder just in case, then delete all files with the word "backup" in its name from the platforms folder.

    then launch launchbox and add the games like you have already tried, then closing and reopening launchbox to see if they stayed this time.

     

    what i think happened to me and may be happening to you is, launchbox keeps reading the backup file and not the main one for some reason. so in my case, i had the gameslist.xml added, it made a backup, I deleted it, it saved it to the main platform.xml but when closing and relaunching launchbox, it views the backup platform.xml instead when it had the gameslist file in launchbox

    I hope i made sense with this attempt at a problem assist. Thanks and let me know if it works.

    Agreed, I do plan on adding that. :)

    I don't know if you feel like you sometimes have a thankless job or not but either way, I just wanna say that I have been apart af various apps/communities that all being fun and what not, did not have what you and this community offer, you are extremely passionate with what you do and I want to personally say thank you for all the incredible work you do! Fantastic and just incredible how you work with the community and fan base. A++ have a great day.

     

    Ps, I have been excited for an android version a really long time lol

  5. Would be nice to have an "exit" button or a close button. Back button only brings up the side menu/ exits side menu, I have to launch recent apps screen and swipe away launchbox. This is on my phone and shield TV. 

    I would even be fine with the back button from the root of the app to have a pop up asking "are you sure you want to exit" with yes or no buttons. 

    Thanks.

    Still having issues with Nvidia shield and white screen, have deleted the /android/data/com.unbrokensoftware.launchbox folder from the internal storage but still a no go. Uninstalled and reinstalled, S9 is still reading with no issues however.

     

    Did you export games to an android folder from launchbox pc and copy it to the shield? Not sure if you need the games or not but I have my exported folder transferred and it works fine after 0.10 update.

    I've submitted the 0.10 release; hopefully it will go live quickly like the last one did. This should hopefully fix the crash on startup issues after accepting permissions.

    Update 0.10 has fixed the white screen crash for me on shield tv. I can now see my snes and nes games (did a small export for testing) will add more systems and keep testing. Ty so much for the fix!

    It looks like the 0.8 update just now went live on the Play Store. For everyone who's seeing just a white screen or a crash on startup, please try this updated version and let me know if it fixes it. :)

    Sadly it did not fix for me. Launchbox android installed on the internal of Nvidia Shield TV (Removed all external drives) , I did a full uninstall, cleaned roms, did a new export on pc, installed launchbox android, copied over export folder and launched with same result.

  9. A feature I would like to request in the future is the ability to save games on the cloud, or even sync saves to my pc then to a new device for when I switch. For example, play on a bus using phone, go to work, continue playing on the bus home, get home, press a button to sync saves, fire up my shield TV and resume saves, now whether it's just the press of a button on both devices to send and receive Idc lol I could even connect phone to pc, open launchbox and click a button there as it's on the same network as my shield. This is one of the best things that retrox has but the need to be online all the time pushed me away. Thanks. 

    It's probably a lot of work but thank you for everything you do Jason and the team!

    I'm not sure an external hard drive will work at all at this point. What folder is it installed to on internal storage? What's the exact full path?

    I will have to look. I plugged a external hard drive in months ago, clicked "format as internal" been using it that way since then with hyperspin.

    I have uninstalled 10 times and reinstalled the same amount, however this time it launches, asked for storage access, clicked approve, but now it just stays on a white screen. 5 mins and counting. 

    Used on both an external hard drive,  I then installed app to internal and the issue is still there.

    Okay, that's strange. I have a Shield TV that I've been using for testing, and haven't run into that. I should get crash reports here soon from the play store though; hopefully that will help to identify whatever the issue is.

    Well this will be because when you imported those into Launchbox you only imported the .cue files, which is the correct method. So Launchbox only has data to export those specific files. I can see that being a bit of a issue though, although im not sure how that would be solved with the current method as Launchbox essentially does not know those files exist. 

    I guess I can try to manually add the files and edit the xml. Maybe launchbox can add a feature to copy all files with a wildcard after the game name of the file to transfer all files with a similar file name kinda like a fuzzy match transfer? I'm not a programmer but just adding what I think may work. Ty

  14. Hi. I have come across an issue with android export in launchbox. Please remove if this is in the wrong spot. When I export ps1 games, I have a game with 4 disc's, all have .cue and .bin files. It will only copy the cue from disc one, and that's all and no othe bins or cues for disc one to four. The same happens with single disc games with cue files, it will just export the cue and not the associated bin file. Thanks for the great work though. Been using launchbox since 2014 ish. Have a great day!

  15. Those look great! Now to choose hehe Thanks for working on my requests.... Great work! Oh and no need to be sorry for taking so long, its not like you have a life or anything? Right? Lol I try and visit this post as much as I can because I'm excited to see the progress!
  16. Zombeaver Thank you for seeing what you can do for the Gameboy and Gameboy Color, as I am certainly looking forward to seeing the outcome of my setup with the art you have created! as for Ps4 I completely understand and will wait. I only request it and have it on my system because I have been working on my home automation setup and will be done hopefully in a month or so.... What the Ps4 wheel will do is when I click the game, and then click play, it will then run a script, send a signal to my harmony hub(change input) to my Ps4 source on the TV, then dim my lights, and also adjust my surround setup to game mode from theater mode. It wont be able to launch the specific game unless i can tie it into PC remote play some how and have it auto navigate to that game from there... but that's something I will look at in the future.
