[C64 - Ghostbusters controller not working (left/right)]

It works fine in VICE as well, but some games default to the other joyport. Alt J usually works to swap joyports

[Emulator Settings for All Platforms]

Tsugaru needs to know where your bios files are. so in Launchbox, under default command-line parameters it should look something like this:

F:\Tsugaru\roms -CD

Obviously replace the first part with the folder where your bios files are stored. Also make sure the emulator you are using is tsugaru_cui and not tsugaru_gui

 

There are more commands (such as loading floppies) which you can read by opening command.md with a text editor.

Here's the highest res scan I could create in the hopes it will help whoever decides to do this logo.

[Games on BIN File's]

If it's the battle.net version then it's actually for Windows and so the above steps won't work (but give the above steps a try in case it is the DOS version). Of course it might just be easier buying it from GOG.

[Trying to hide a console window when booting a pc-game.]

You can kinda hide it (it still shows up in the taskbar) by creating a shortcut to the .bat file, then right click on the shortcut, click properties, and then under the shortcut tab, select run: minimised

This way you won't get the black console window actually popping up on the screen.

Oh, and afterwards, don't forget to point Launchbox to the shortcut rather than the bat file itself.

[LaunchBox 11.12 won't open; help please!]

I'd just like to add that LaunchBox recently stopped working for me on my GPD Win 3. Following the advice above I uninstalled both Visual C++ 2015-2019 and then reinstalled LB over the top of my existing installation and it's now working again.

[How can I import (non Steam, non Epic, non GOG) PC games to Launchbox?]

As I posted on another thread here, for HOTD 3, just google for HotD_3_AutoStart.

[Video Playback Problems]

BigBox intro videos unfortunately don't work on the GPD Win 3 (even with updated drivers). To get the other videos working, go into BigBox Options > Videos > and change the playback engine to Windows Media Player and they should start working.

[House of the Dead 3 PC Direct Launching]

Search on Google for HotD_3_AutoStart

[Is there an option to prevent background images from loading in LB desktop mode?]

Options > Visuals > Backgrounds > Default > then choose to your preference.

[Looking for emulator settings for several emulators]

What is the full path of your roms? I'm wondering if there is an accented character in your path that LB doesn't like.

[DOSBox problems]

It does actually run under Windows 10 as far as I can remember, but you'd need a cracked exe as the copy protection doesn't work. This isn't something we can help youi with here.

Seriously though, your best option is to buy the extended version of the game on Steam which works perfectly fine.

[DOSBox problems]

Age of Mythology is a Windows game...Why are you trying to run it under dosbox in the first place?

[Java 3D Game Boxes]

Judging from the other post the user made it looks very much like a spambot to me.

[Philips CD-i in Launchbox]

You missed out the 1 from cdimono1

[Gauntlet & Gauntlet (unl) for nes]

There's only one version of Gauntlet for the NES, yes there were 2 releases but it's exactly the same game and so warrants only one db entry.

[Screenshots PNG vs JPG, some facts need to be checked]

100% agree. Screenshots should never ever be jpg. PNG should be pretty much the only format used for screenshots.

Upscaled png screenshots are fine as long as it's a direct multiple of it's native resolution 320x240>640x480>1280x960 etc

Scans should preferably be jpg.

Many thanks seaview! Superb work as always.

I think the title of this thread is long overdue for a rename

[Clear Logo Requests]

Hi seaview59

I'd like to request a clear logo for https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/143568

 

Many thanks

 

[Strange sorting in Big Box]

At a guess I'd say you've marked the first set of games as favourites which is why they're showing up first. You can turn this behaviour off by looking in options > views

[Star Trek A Final Unity]

Taken from the dosbox compatibility list

 

Quote

I just installed the game under DOSBox 0.74 running on a Win7 64-bit machine.
Installation: Worked fine. Sound and Video were detected correctly when using the Auto Detection.
Playing: Worked, but I got a crash each time I switched to the Tactical Station. In the DOSBox Wiki it is suggested to set "core=normal" in DOSBox's configuration file. After doing so I did not get a crash anymore. The game works fine now! Let's explore strange new worlds!! ?

 

[Clear Logo Requests]

I didn't do this but I found it on my HD.

edit: I've just submitted it to the database as well

[32X emulation problems]

I've only tried this with the European version but if you go into retroarch's options under the quick menu and turn dynamic recompilers off, the game seems to work fine after that (although I only played to round 2).

[Platform Names]

When using the import feature on Android, I noticed a few problems with the inbuilt platform names.

• There's NEC TurboGrafx-16 and NEC TurboGrafx-CD but there's also TurboGrafx-16 and TurboGrafx-CD listed as well
• Sharp X6800 is listed but it should be Sharp X68000

 

[Moderation question - fruit machines]

Fruit Machines are games, I can't see how anyone could think they are not games..

Although Ideally they should have a seperate platform for them such as Pinball has.
