In the latest beta, using LaunchBox Next, deleting a game from a playlist switches to the all games list. Don't know if this is a new issue or not, just noticed it recently, but I think I've been doing most of my playlist management in LaunchBox classic.

Yeah, I just noticed this yesterday, but not sure how long it's been going on. The earliest games I've seen with missing videos were added on the 21st.

It works for me with these config options (also using DOSBox SVN Daum, which may or may not be relevant): [dosbox] machine=svga_et4000 memsize=64 [cpu] core=auto cputype=auto cycles=max Maybe you just need to increase the memory?

This is controlled by the "Combine ROMs with matching titles into a single game" import option. You can uncheck that if you want to avoid this in the future.

If it doesn't load from within Retroarch either, make sure you have the correct versions of the bios. The PS1 core requires these specific files (from some wiki, and they work for me): SCPH5500.bin - (NTSC-J) Required for Japan-region games. SCPH5501.bin - (NTSC-U) Required for North America/US-region games. SCPH5502.bin - (PAL) Required for Europe-region games.

I don't know if it's still the case, but a while back (months ago), BigBox's background CPU usage was quite a bit higher when using VLC instead of Windows Media Player for videos. I was having problems using some of the more complex RetroArch shaders smoothly until I changed that option.

This list isn't prioritized or anything. Just a quick brain dump of the stuff I can remember that annoys me from time to time: Mark completed in Big Box. There's menu items for the other flags, but not completed. Logo priorities like we have for other image types. I'd like to be able to prefer Steam Banners and fallback to Clear Logos, for example. Might be more of a DB thing, but I'm getting a ton of Japanese art in the root image folders instead of the region folders, so LaunchBox is randomly showing me Japanese box art when North American is also present. Scrape non-steam game art from Steam when available. Having to do more work for GOG games is annoying. Download game screenshots from Steam like we can with videos. In Big Box, be able to assign one button to cycle between platforms, playlists, statuses, etc. Having to use separate buttons for each cuts into the limited number available on a controller. Option to switch from background music to video audio when viewing game details. Don't deselect all but one game after doing batch editing. Allow remove from playlist when not viewing that particular playlist. Add to playlist pops out a submenu, why can't there be a Remove from playlist that does the same? Separate image priorities in LaunchBox and Big Box. In LB, I'd prefer not having fanart in the background, while I might want it there in BB. Remember last directory in pretty much all open dialogs. Some kind of default options per platform for image types to download might be nice. For example, I never download theme videos, and want to download Box Art from EmuMovies for all platforms except Windows, because they all have a jewel case look that isn't consistent with everything else. Less optimistic game name matching. For example, the other day, I had a game called "Knights" (not in the DB) matched to "Blood Knights". Very easy to miss these when doing a bulk import. A way to clear all metadata from a game. When fixing mismatched games, I frequently forget to go into all the tabs. Improve per-game DOSBox options. For example, having to use a complete custom config file to change "ems=true" to "ems=false" is really annoying, especially due to the next item in my list. Use DOSBox mounts and executables specified in LaunchBox when using a custom config. In my opinion, ideally a custom dosbox config should only need to contain the lines that are actually different from the default behavior. When importing MAME roms, an option to combine parents and clones would be nice. Currently they can only be combined if the names match. It would be nice to automatically combine stuff like Pac Man and Puck Man, preferably with some kind of region preference option. An option to import game metadata from Steam instead of the DB where available would be nice. The DB is frequently missing stuff like release dates and developers when the data is there on Steam. Big Box option to use random game videos for playlists when no playlist video exists. The platform version of this option doesn't seem to work for playlists. Also, #'s 1, 3 and 4 on lordmonkus's list would be great. Also, also: This list got a bit long, so just want to offset that negativity by saying that I really like the program and it's completely replaced Steam as my frontend of choice at this point.

I actually meant to report a similar thing back in the first beta with playlist support. As I recall, I had added some arcade games to playlists, then deleted all games from the platform and reimported, I then added the new games back into the same lists. In LaunchBox, only one entry showed up in the playlist, but in BigBox there were duplicates. It appears that the new import created games with a different ID but the same title (or maybe just the same rom name, don't remember for sure). The playlist XML file had both the old and new entries.

You can already do this. In the Main Menu, Game->Add... then set the Application path to the game's .exe file. Edit: There's also Tools->Import->Windows Games, but I've never been able to get it to work. Just scans for hours before I get sick of waiting and kill it.

The Platform and Platform Category sorting issues I had with the last build seem like they may be fixed. Haven't seen anything out of order in this build in any permutation of the sidebar options I've tried so far.

Hard to say the exact cause without more specifics. I *think* MAME outputs errors to the console window, so you could try running "mame <romname>" in a command prompt and see if there's any helpful output. If you're using 64-bit mame, the command will be "mame64 <romname>" instead.

K, just trying to make sure we're giving Jason accurate information, since this bug's gotta be driving him a bit crazy at this point . I forget that the Platform Categories view even exists since I always just use Platforms, so the opposite could be true for other people.

Did you check the platform sorting in the Platforms view or only in Platform Categories? For me, the platforms are only out of order under the conditions I described above and only in Platforms view. Under categories, the platforms themselves always seem correct.

I get this as well, but only if neither (None) or (Exists) are checked. Enabling either or both fixes the order.

Yeah, I remember getting this problem anytime my HOTAS was plugged in and "Use All Controllers" was checked.
