Platform clear logos and banners are NOT scraped when importing a platform, they are included in the .exe for launchbox, and are added to the folders when a platform is created. However if your naming does not exactly match what the images are named as then they wont be moved to the respective folders. Also not every single platform has images included in the .exe, the most popular/used are there but its not a exhaustive list of every platform ever made, so you will often have to source images your self from either the specific download section we have just for them, or via google.

You should never exit PC games by force closing them, you run a high risk of corrupting or losing your save games. Always close PC games through there own in game menu's.

Just tested the latest dev build of Redream and can confirm both Startup/Shutdown screens and the Pause screen work just fine.

If it bothers you that much you can get a "no nag" version here, @NJDave71 uploads them to the download section.

just hit any button.

No, see , and, I think you are misunderstanding the differences between our Database and what the actual program requires of you to work.

Correct, that core is for both. You do however need to tell Launchbox it is for both, Launchbox will never attempt to guess the platform or emulator to use for it, that is defined by the user. In your case you are using a core that supports the CD platform, but you have not told Launchbox to use that core for that platform. This is the reason for the associated platform tab in the first place, so that you can use the same emulator, or in this case the same emulator core for different platforms. While Launchbox does try to automate as much as possible some user input is still needed, it just cant be expected to know of every emulator ever made and for which platform it supports, thats just not possible. So the way it works is you add any emulator you want to use, but..... you need to tell Launchbox to use it for that specific platform. Also bear in mind you can use any name you like for a platform, so if you decided to call Nintendo 64 "ninty 64" for example Launchbox would have no idea what that platform is, or what to do with it, hence you "associate" a platform to that system and emulator.

This is actually a Windows issue, it juggles USB ports depending on when they are plugged in/turned on, or what it detects first after a reboot.

lol, just be careful where those fingers go up

I feel there is a "or" missing here. Im gonna assume the or is use a non-merged romset.

Yeah, just watched the video posted, in this specific issue you are launching a Turbografx-16 CD game, but when you go to the associated platform tab for Retroarch you only have a entry for Turbografx-16. You need to add another associated platform for the CD version, they are different systems in your Launchbox sidebar, so need separate entry's in the associated platform tab also. EDIT. This is why adding the commandline to the games works, Launchbox doesnt know which core to use for that platform as it is not in the associated platform list. Obviously adding it per game tells Launchbox which core to use, so it loads correctly then.

Just tested here with Cemu 1.15.4b, Startup/Shutdown screens and Pause screens working just fine.

Once you have the collections theme addon installed just follow these instructions to put the clear logos you have in the correct location.

OK, those are just the clear logos for the collections theme addon, did you actually download the collections theme addon itself first?

You need to go a folder up, in the addon download should be two folders, a view and a images. Just copy both the whole view and images folder into the refried theme folder. As there are already view and image folders there it will ask to overwrite some files, just say yes to all.

You can download the addon packs for the refried theme from here, Then just follow the instructions on the download page to add it to your theme,

In Bigbox go to Options/Views and make sure your "Default Startup View" is set to platforms and not Platform Categories.

To be honest it sounds more like a configuration issue or a bad romset. I am using a split 0.209 romset myself and used the fullset MAME importer and my games are launching just fine.

Paypal is not supported, that is there decision not ours.

Credit Card and Amazon Pay are supported. https://www.launchbox-app.com/premium

Have you checked that you specified the correct paths for your romset and mame in Launchbox?

It works with any set type, you do still need to tell MAME where your roms are however or they will not launch.

Yep fair enough, i am a moderator on the database also, but i dont have time to participate much as i have my hands full with the forums.

Those should be added as a additional name not replacing the original name. The database is US based in nature so the US release date would make sense to me, the Earlier release (which of course is usually JAP) should be added to games with a different Japanese name in my opinion.

Well this is a personal opinion here, but i say allow them if there are no cassette images for those games. While i would personally prefer them in the correct aspect ratio ideally, i would still take a image of that ratio over having no image at all. So if there is already a good correct image i say reject it, but if the game doesnt have any cassette image at all i would say that these ones would be preferable to none at all.
