This has been discussed a few times here and outside these forums. Read over this thread and see if you can get your setup working.

Are you using LaunchBoxes startup theme option along with Rocketlauncher? If so, that will not integrate well. You would need to disable the Launchbox option and use the native Rocketlauncher startup theme launcher.

Have you tried changing the Sidebar font in Options?

I just tried Dreamcast on my new Windows 11 laptop using Retroarch and its Flycast core and my Dreamcast chd games boot right up with no issues. Your results are quite strange, I just say. Do you have the Startup screen option set in Launchbox? If so, that might be masking any errors you may be getting. You didn't specifically say you tried this in Launchbox. If you haven't, try it there and see how far you get. I would be happy to assist if I can.

Damage, have you listed those things out already, other than Shredder's first post, or is that basically it? If so, I must have missed them in the past, so point me to the post. If not, list them here and I'll try to answer your question. I'm not trying to be vague on purpose. At the time of my decision to drop RocketLauncher, I didn't have a set todo list of items I wanted to extend in to, but if I had decided to stay with RL, I would have just taken things one by one until I was satisfied. Honestly, my decision to switch over to LB fully was because the RL devs stopped responding to the forum, direct contact, you name it. While a couple of users on the forum tried to support with updating modules, it just wasn't enough, plus no source code was released from the RL devs. Shredder, as far as the 'extra' folders getting created under certain conditions, if that is a hard line in the sand, then you will never be happy. This has been mentioned quite a few times in the past, and the devs seem open to changes IF enough support exists from the majority of the user base (we all vote around once per year). You can request a feature under the Help & Support area at the top of the page here on the forum, but I am almost sure there are requests for this already. Again, it is a matter of agreement from the user base.

I'll add my experience converting from Hyperspin and Rocketlauncher long ago, for what it is worth. I also was a big Hyperspin/Rocketlauncher user and supporter back when those developments and forums were active. Like many here, I tried the free version of Launchbox and saw promise. As Launchbox matured, I decided to switch. I continued using Rocketlauncher by following the Launchbox and Rocketlauncher integration info from the Rocketlauncher forums. While this did work after editing platform names on the Rocketlauncher side to match what Launchbox used as standards, I eventually moved away from that approach as Rocketlauncher stopped being developed and supported by the devs on its forum. Moving away from the old environments to a total Launchbox/Bigbox one has been overall very satisfying. It does take time to adapt, but that is the way of things in any world requiring certain applications to support a particular task. I have been an application coder since 1981. While I could continue to extend and develop myself in supporting my old Rocketlauncher installation, I decided anything I developed would probably be specific to my needs and not necessarily useful to anyone else. To me, asking for Launchbox to extend support for a dead application isn't productive for the vast number of Launchbox users, and I understand why this was never done. I would recommend joining in the forums here, be patient as you learn and use the products here and have fun gaming.

<launchbox installation folder>\Data\Platforms. The file is most likely named Sony Playstation.xml or something similar.

What I did when I performed a conversion like that was to exit LaunchBox/BigBox, then use one of those text editors like Notepad++ to mass edit the appropriate XML file.

Everything in the chain should match naming wise, so I would rename the file in the zip and give that a try. There is no easy way to update things. That bezel set requires a rom set that follows the No-Intro naming standard, so you could try finding a recent No-Intro set and see if that roms work better for you. There should be little to rename, if any, that way.

You don't have " (USA)" in the name of the rom. Have you tried that?

Look under the ...\LaunchBox\Data directory. Please make a backup of this directory first and also make sure LaunchBox and/or BigBox aren't running.

I have just uploaded V1.1 of my archive collecting all the user-submitted files to this thread. Apologies for accidentally deleting V1.0.0 and needing to recreate a new thread. I have updated my old post above, as well as posting the updated link below. Please read the comments in that thread and remember to make any related comments in this new thread, not here. I hope this upload is useful in some way.

Silver Ring ClearLogo Set, Additional View File This collection collects all the user-submitted files from the following forum thread into one archive. Many thanks to @viking for the original set of Silver Rings. V1.0 of this archive was accidentally deleted; sorry about that. V1.1 adds files submitted after V1.0 was created. In addition, V1.1 includes the contents of all zip files attached to Viking's comment thread before V1.0 was created. The attached pdf is a complete file listing of the contents of V1.1 of the archive. Note: There is no set schedule for updating this archive. It depends upon user submissions in Viking's forum thread. _Silver_Rings_file_list_1.1.pdf Submitter dragon57 Submitted 09/03/2024 Category Platform Clear Logos  

The initial archive containing all the Silver Ring logos submitted here has been uploaded to the Download section. The link is here: Please read the comments in that thread and remember to make any related comments in this new thread, not here. I hope this upload is useful in some way.

Silver Ring ClearLogo Set, Additional View File This archive is a complete dump of the Silver Ring logos submitted from this thread: The files have been renamed to make the archive contents more easily searched. Duplicates have also been removed. Note: not all files were examined one by one to make sure the names were correct. If anyone discovers a file name mismatch, please leave a comment below. File names will be corrected at the next upload. Speaking of uploads, the attached pdf files have a full list of all the files in the archive. There is no set schedule for updating this archive other than when the number of new additions in the above thread warrants it. A comment will be made in that original thread and here in the download section. _Silver_Rings_file_list.pdf Submitter dragon57 Submitted 07/28/2024 Category Platform Clear Logos  

Update: I realized today there are a large number of duplicate images in this thread, so the downloaded items need to be cleaned up. I am working on an easy, repeatable method to do this.

Not sure who you are referring to, but no, I don't see those exact rings downloaded from this thread. If you have them, post them here and my utility will grab them.

All the sa and themed sets will be audited and brought in line with each other after we finish the remainder of the sets already committed to (zx spectrum and PS2).

Thanks for the feedback. Going forward I'll debug my process a little better so everything is archived and documented for easy access and ease of updates. An announcement will always be made here and in the download section once I start uploading. As always, I welcome any comments along the way.

I have a question for those who follow this thread and use/still use the user-created Silver Rings posted here. I have been using a utility to download updates to this collection about once per month for use in my personal collection. I have also been thinking of posting up this set of additions to Viking's original work in the download section like the zip archive posted a few posts back which sundogak referenced. Now to the question; is there any interest in me posting up this personal archive in the downloads section? If so, not all the Silver Rings in this thread were created in the original resolution and are smaller. If I upload an archive that gets updates every month or so, should all files be uploaded no matter the size? Any comments welcome.

This is probably off-topic for this thread, but I feel like this needs to be reiterated. Don't use a 3rd party product with any app unless you fully understand it and what it might affect. I use Skraper all the time and have used it for as long as it has been around. I just create a temporary directory for what I want downloaded. This way nothing can be stepped on. I then audit the downloads, then I move what I want to LaunchBox, Hyperspin, Emulation Station, Attract Mode, whatever. Just don't blame a product off hand without reading up and asking questions first. No front-end is 100% across its features and functions. I can't tell you how many times a new version of LaunchBox has caused me trouble, but that is the nature of all software. Make backups!
