This sounds possibly like a mame fullset import without actually having a fullset issue. Hence only some games working, and sometimes not the parent rom.

Try removing the "Arcade" from the video name, the nested name is just "Capcom Classics".

Yes.

The video needs to be named the same as the platform, its not in your image. You also dont need to specify the video in that window, just add them to the Launchbox/Videos/Playlists folder and name them correctly.

Also the auto update DOES work.

Just by using those settings in my image, didnt do anything else.

Why do you even want that window when launching games from Launchbox? You should set your settings once and never really need to look at them again.

I was replying to you, not to him.

Launchbox doesnt need or care about CHD files, its MAME that does. So put them wherever you want them, but tell mame that path.

It re-sizes with every press of the arrow key for me, as i think it should. If i hold the key down the box art doesnt re-size until i release the key.

Slow equal better there, as its fine tuning. I dont want that very fast at all, no point overshooting and having to edge back. Also depending on your resolution, the slider by itself is impossible to be accurate with. Im at 1440p, or 4K with a relatively i would think normal mouse dpi setting and using that to fine tune is out of the question.

Yes, dont import them to Launchbox, it doesnt need them, its the emulators that need the bios files, and in the case of megadrive, they are not needed at all. As i said though if you move on to other systems, mostly CD based ones, they will need the bios files.

This is exactly what i do, once the slider has been used to get to the rough size, as long as you dont click somewhere else you can then use the left and right arrows to fine tune.

You dont need them for megadrive/genesis either, (but will for mega CD) generally bios files are unzipped and go in the Retroarch/Systems folder.

That error says you are loading Bigbox, not Launchbox. They are not the same thing, but if you have issues with both then something horrific is wrong somewhere. Go to your Launchbox/Updates folder and run the newest installer and install over the top of your current install.

Move, just want to test if it opens with default settings and theme. Are you using a user created theme or the default?

Those are theme related errors in your image. Move the settings.xml out of the Launchbox /Data folder and load Launchbox, it will load with default settings.

Thats a problem with your romset more than Launchbox. Looks like you have manual renaming to do, or get games that actually have the game name in the title.

Dont uncheck LB metadata, but uncheck all media, should only take a couple of minutes to import.

Just re-run the importer. Dont delete your current platform, just re-run it.

Its not being audited against any source, its simply scanning your image/video folders and telling you where you are missing images/videos.

You can also get into the menu when a game is running with F1 as default, this can be changed to anything you want in the input settings.

The MAME importer asks you for your rom path, but doesnt actually use it as such. It tells MAME what file name to load, and MAME knows where that file is, as long as you specified it to MAME. Retroarch would be a little different in that it would need the actual file passed to it in order to be loaded. It is a MAME importer for a reason, while you can of course use retroarch ( i wouldnt personally as there is no benefit at all to doing so over the standalone version) im not sure how exactly retroarch expects the files, or if it needs a rompath like standalone does.

While i dont necessarily disagree with any of your points per se, you are really adding fuel to no real fire. Most people do not update there sets every month, in fact i would say a large proportion of our userbase are on much older sets and are perfectly happy where they are. Im not saying i wouldnt personally myself like a bit more transparency as to when its updated, but you have to understand that people who update every month on the day its updated are a very very small proportion of the userbase. We have people using 20 year old sets still for example.
