There has not been any active development on a Android version, it's still a possibility at some point but that would be a way's away, if at all.

The only one that will allow you to play more games is demul, the dreamcast emulator. Naomi was a arcade platform based off of dreamcast hardware, that is included in MAME (you need CHD's also for a lot of them) but only a handfull if that actually run in MAME. You will deed to use a dreamcast emulator to play them, and demul is the best one for naomi/sammy atomiswave/cave games.

Yup, as they are for many many Windows programs. I am surprised you haven't run into problems with other programs as well if you do not have up to date .NET or DirectX library's

Yup thats what i was saying, there was a change recently to the neo geo bios and the qsound bios, so keeping inline is generally good practice as the current version of MAME will be looking for those new bios structures, not the older structure from a older set. So those are the sort of issues i was referring to.

If your romset is 0.201 then you should use 0.201 of the MAME emulator. Using a version not for your romset can cause issues and games that should work may not.

OK to start this has absolutely zero to do with Launchbox, Launchbox has no interaction with emulators like that, so it's a retroarch issue. My guess is that you messed with the interger and screen position options in the menu when running that core, or are using a shader/bezel that is overriding the default screen position.

Not by platform, but by emulator. There is a startup tab in the manage emulator settings now with some extra settings.

Can you check that your antivirus is not blocking the install?

You are using version 9.5 right? because that has no issues installing on Windows 10, in fact its our recommended OS as it supports the new .NET which we use out of the box. I just tested installing a fresh version myself here, im using the latest insider build of Windows 10 as of 16/02/2018 so its a build i only installed two days ago so is a very new build, and Launchbox installed just fine as expected. Here is a video of me installing it. 2019-02-18 11-11-20.mp4

The scan for new games scans in your Launchbox folder by default. If you have your roms elsewhere you need to tell Launchbox where they are and it will then remember to scan that folder. To be honest i have never used the scan for added roms feature, i just added what i wanted originally, and if i need to add something new i just drag and drop the files onto the launchbox window.

Here is a example, in this i am removing the (USA) in the roms name. so you can see in the lower highlighted red box i have put (USA) and in the replace box left it blank. Then in the top red highlighted box you can see the original name and then what it will change to if i confirm it.

Yeah launchbox has no idea what it is, but it removes the filetype when importing. So it is removing the .zip, but because there is also a .z64 before the .zip its keeping that in the game name. Basically your roms have two filetypes in the same name, which is silly and confusing the scraper.

This is how mine are named, Gamename (region).filetype

OK i see your issue, you have the file type in the game name, that should not be there. They are .z64.zip so Launchbox thinks that .zip is the file type so is keeping the .z64 in the file name, hence not matching the correct name. I have no idea where you got those roms, but i would suggest unzipping them all and re-importing. I think you will find you get art for everything that way. That is a really strange way of naming the roms that you have, i dont know who's idea that was, but frontend software of any type will struggle badly with that naming scheme.

There was really no need to create another thread on this issue. Your GBA issue has been explained why there are no images in that thread, so are your N64 the same? i have media for all my N64 library, there is plenty of art as long as your roms are not stupidly named and therefore can not be matched to games in our database. The games simply need to be named somewhat correctly, there is some fuzzy matching going on if they are similar, but if they are named crazily different from the actual game name how can our database be expected to match them correctly?

Yeah your issue there is definitely those numbers at the front and not our database, you need to remove those as Launchbox is searching the games with that number as well, hence it finds no match. I use bulk rename utility for that sort of thing. https://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Download.php

It should save the image added, but if you dont delete the image its currently using as well then it will likely continue to use the image it was already using. Also if you are replacing images remember to refresh the images otherwise the old cached image will still show.

Its probably just the case that we do not have European box art in our database. The priorities will prioritise a region, but if that art is not available it will pull the US art if available. Hence "priorities" and not a outright "choose region for art". If you want to replace images then yes you need to drop them in the correct folder, or use the edit on a game and navigate to the image location, so dropping images into the folder is the easiest way.

Right click it and "expand selected games".

All good on my end now, thanks again.

Excellent, thanks for taking the time to take a look at the issue, it is much appreciated.

Yup, i dont know if it is our end or emumovies, so i PM'd circo, and also brought it up in our discord earlier (before you started posting in here)

Custom themes are not restricted in any way, and pretty much every theme has the view you want, including the nostalgia theme you show in your image. You are either on the wrong view for that theme, or you do not have clear logos so it is defaulting to standard text. I can 100% assure you that the Nostalgia theme supports clear logos in the correct view.
