Uncheck the extract rom box and test again.

lol leaving the best to last then.

You can also start it directly from the .exe in the Launchbox folder, i just have it pinned to my taskbar.

Same as you 8.4 beta 9.

The playlists are implemented to allow you to have games from different platforms grouped together rather than being platform specific. So you could have a Zelda playlist for example with all the Zelda games from different platforms in one location. It wasn't as far as i know designed for watching videos of games from.

Anyway that shouldn't matter as you say it shows in Bigbox, and Bigbox and Launchbox use the exact same file, so thats why i asked if you were hiding games without certain artwork in Launchbox, as there are options for that in Bigbox and in Launchbox and they are independent of each other. So it may be missing a clear logo for example, and if you have hide games missing clear logo selected then you wont see it.

I left everything at the defaults in the MAME importer wizard, i think North America is the default there.

It shows just fine for me. Do you have any of the hide games without media options checked in the view section?

There is a update pack on the same page as the original download, so maybe its in that, as i have naomi 2 just fine in my setup.

They go in the Playlist folder not the Platform one.

Actual games will be just fine running from a external drive.

You can either put them in the normal location at Launchbox/Videos/Platform and Launchbox/Videos/Playlists where they will be used across all themes, or you can put them in Launchbox/Themes/Unified/Videos/Platforms and the same with playlist videos but obviously they go in Launchbox/Themes/Unified/Videos/Playlists.

Im at a bit of a loss on this one. The only thing i can think of is Launchbox doesnt like having the same game from different regions with different names imported separately rather than combined into one entry, but i honestly dont know.

You can also set the UI Cancel button in MAME to the same combo you use for everything else, and that will exit also.

lol, might be worth setting that to 50% by default Jason, cause i did the same thing originally.

Yup,

Is the volume knob in next on 0 by any chance?

Have you extracted the themes correctly? My guess would be that you have a folder with the theme name and another folder inside that with the them name also, if you open the theme folder it should have various files and folders inside it, if it has another folder with the theme name its wrong, just copy paste that folder up a level.

No the cache is permanent unless deleted or refreshed, or altered in some other way like changing what images you display in Launchbox from say boxes to clear logos will repopulate the cache with the clear logos.

I cant help you with your first question, (although it is technically possible i believe but would require a major theme rewrite). For your second question go to tools/options/images/cart front priorities and uncheck everything except for discs. Alternatively you can go to options/theme in bigbox and check the box for different views per platform and use a view without spinning disc/box for the platforms you dont want it spinning on.

@Lordmonkus I just tried the audit here and its working just fine. There are references to the PCSX2 plugin in that error though which currently doesnt work with next anyway. Try moving the plugin out and testing again.

Looking at the second video there it looks like it could be a cache issue. During the whole video when you deleted and when you added the correct images you didn't once refresh the cache for that game, so its likely you simply have the older images you want to remove cached in the Launchbox/Images/Cache folder. What i would do is edit that game again and remove the images, then exit out of the edit screen and with the game still highlighted hit F5 on your keyboard to refresh the images for that game, it should now show you dont have any images at all. Add the ones you want and exit and refresh again and see if that fixes it for you. I believe that is what is happening that game has been previously cached with the images you do not want so they need to be removed/refreshed in the cache.

Just go to tools/manage platforms then the folders tab, you can specify folders there for all image types and videos.

Well to start Launchbox NEVER downloads any images or metadata without you knowing about it, it only does so when you initiate a metadata update or when you import new games it will also grab the latest metadata pack. Have you checked your region priorities in the options? Also if a game has been released in different regions with the same name the front facing name will be the USA one, so will attach the USA box art also.
