  1. Ok i never noticed that you could just drag them into LB. That works for now but will be really slow to do unless I only need one or two. Can you add an option under the "import Windows games" that is like the "import roms from files wizard" so we can add multiple games in and have them search the database, get artwork, etc?
  2. Is there any way you can look into importing individual Windows games? It's such a pain right now choosing a random emulator and then removing the emulator after the import with batch edit.
  3. I've had this problem with previous versions - it has cause a bunch of my entries to be denied. I haven't tried this new version yet - thanks for updating!!!
  4. Hi, I'm having the same problem with the addon not working any longer. Same exact error except mine is 'chrome=65.0.3325.181'
  5. Hi - This problem has been going on for a while and I know we've talked about it once or twice before but no solution has materialized so I'm hoping by bringing this up we can finally come up with something that will permanently fix this problem. I'm going to use the NES as an example, but I've seen this problem appear on many other consoles like C64, Amiga, DOS, etc. I have multiple games on one system that have the same title but they are totally different games. Airwolf has 2 different versions, Tetris is another one - that one has 3 versions, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade has 2 versions by 2 different developers. In the rules we can't have anything other than the title, but this is one area that I believe we are going to have to make an exception or have the fix be internal somehow. so here is one example of Airwolf in our DB: we have one just called 'Airwolf', and another called 'Airwolf (Japan)' which specifically breaks the rules and makes it hard to search for if it even shows up. https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/311 https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/32025 another example is the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, we have one with just that title and another with (UbiSoft) appended at the end. https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/1760 https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/94955 here is Tetris, which there are three. We have Tetris in the DB and Tetris (Bulletproof), which is the Japanese version. The Tengen one is ok, as it seems to have a subtitle. https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/1382 https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/48523 https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/25017 I'm hoping that bringing this to everyone's attention will come up with a solution that works for everyone. Thanks for reading. Sorry for the length - I was trying to be thorough.
  6. i have 1808 games so far in Steam... it's a nightmare to use LB/BB for it right now.
  7. i have done one or two of those myself because when searching for the games within launchbox, it only shows one of them and not the other. you can't even get to the other game with the matching title even if you could discern which is which because it won't display them both.
  8. It seems to work with that chromedriver.exe file. Thanks so much for the quick response!!! This is the most useful addon here, by far. You'd get my vote for best addon of the year (hint, hint) EDIT - I do notice that it isn't adding more than one genre. example: I add action and racing and it only adds action and disregards the rest.
  9. I came to post the same as Chris Kant above. Chrome seems to have changed something in the most current update. Anything we can do to fix it or use another browser that isn't set to default maybe?
  10. I'm going through my ScummVM collection now and adding in the games I like the most, but notice a few of them are missing from the drop-down list. So far (randomly) Orion Burger, Police Quest 4, and Police Quest SWAT are all missing from the list. I'm sure the last Leisure Suit Larry game is missing also, since it's in the newest SVN. Is there any way to make the ScummVM gamelist editable by the community or end-user? It would take the pressure off of Jason to keep it up-to-date as much, and keep us from getting stuck. Honestly - the ScummVM, DOSBox, and Windows game imports all need an overhaul, IMO. They are really the only sections of Launchbox that frustrate me. EDIT - I found that I can launch it as an application and use the short name as an argument as long as I have it set up in the launcher. It seems to be OK, but it's a heck of a workaround...
  11. great guide - so much easier than the videos. works perfectly first try - thanks, Zombeaver!
  12. I just have to say that this is the best possible use right now for a plugin. It's really, really good at getting videos for my random PC games. Haven't had luck with batch mode, though. Otherwise this works 100% and THANK YOU!!!
  13. very nice! hopefully Jason makes it so we don't have to right-click to launch these new items from plugins
  14. Any way to make a quick fix to the importing of .exe files? It's really a pain in the rear to import them under any random emulator and then batch editing the entire group to use 'no emulator'. I think that a launcher should launch .exe files easier than it is currently. Just hoping it's a quick fix... Thanks.
  15. as long as you aren't Beetlejuice or Bloody Mary, I think we will be fine! good to see you back, my friend!
  16. WOW! Really looking forward to the work with eXo. He is a great guy. Super nice to work with!
  17. A live stream like that would also allow for more of a group discussion to gather more useful ideas as well.
  18. no reason for a poll this time, the community wants database work
  19. I am with you 100%. The database is integral to the launchbox experience and needs to be finished so the community can fill in the gaps. I will be voting on that with you. I will say that having LB/BB have a pause and bezels would be nice, but that'd be a more long term goal to me. There is much more that needs done first. If you really need that functionality, just use Rocketlauncher for now.
  20. i think we could just 'lock' the title after community verification that it has been taken from the US box art. That would help with a lot of the back & forth name changes. Also - with the alternate titles now able to add into a field, it should also help with that example. I just think that we need to eventually have all known names for each game in the alternate titles field. The problem I see with that is the Japanese names where names are translated loosely from Kanji and can have slightly differing names depending on who is translating. Not really sure of a solution on that one, either. All in all - it's good to discuss these kinds of things to help improve the overall usefulness of the DB in general.
  21. It's all good. Thanks for all you do here. I just try and help the database as much as I can. I have lots of ideas for the database, like: I wish there was a way to push a game from LaunchBox directly to the database, as I usually set my end up first when they aren't found then go and add them in manually to the db which is a duplication of work. Also, next and previous buttons from the edit screen of LaunchBox would be helpful for editing and cleaning entire sets. The audit tool is amazing, though, and I didn't think of doing it that way. I love it! Oops..I rambled a little.
  22. I definitely wasn't requesting that they be genres, just the ability to add them to the database somehow so I can scrape my entire collection and not just 95% of it.
  23. ok, thanks for the genres, I'll keep mentioning the prototypes and homebrew periodically lol.
