Yeah was about to say, I see a retroachievements error there, and there site is down at the moment.

Hello to you both and welcome. I notice in the error message you are on Launchbox 7.15, the current version is 7.16 so you could try updating, it may make no difference but its always good to stay current as bugs get squished all the time. Also are either of you using any plugins?

Circo did say there may be some small outages this week as they are migrating to a bigger server, after the other got filled up (that was the issue at the weekend). So you may of just got unlucky, or you may have a issue on your end.

By default Launchbox looks in your Launchbox/Games/name of platform folder, if you didn't move your roms there then you need to go to tools/manage platforms and change the path to were your roms are.

Terry Pratchett reference??

just open retroarch, go to load content navigate to your rom, then choose fba, does it load?

yeah that's just how they are, ignore it, you have no reason to look inside them at all.

yeah don't import your bios, as already stated.

MAME should work exactly the same way, have you tried it?

OK. point is the same though.

The bios goes in the same folder as your roms, or in the Retroarch/System folder.

Don't load the bios.

so if we could just point them somewhere? like to a specific thread. with how to fix it in the time being?

yeah I get that, but legit users are coming here every day saying its broken.

@Jason Carr can you please address the steam issue, please?

Any info at all may help us, or you probably..

I have no idea what that means. Good luck with it though.

lol, yep, @CriticalCid or @Grila or @eatkinola are far more savvy than I, they may have a workaround.

Yeah that's more of a personal preference thing though. I us 3D boxes exclusively in my setup and I love them, each to there own as they say.

I'm happy to test at different scaling % here if you want?

1080p for me, but I'm running on a 60" TV so I don't use scaling at all (everything is big enough) I have seen others though on a 1080p TV using 125-150% scaling, due to say 32-42" screens but at 10" away.

Of course you agree, I speak truth. lol Yeah looks real nice, I chop and change my theme on the regular, as I have never found one I 100% like, I could use different themes for different views, but I don't like that approach as everything looks different and doesn't match.

This is looking really good. Cant wait to try it and add it to my rotation.

I have the no-intro sets all in my games folder, but I only ever "mostly" import the (USA) roms into Launchbox, even though I'm in England. I just like to have the 60fps versions of the games, then if there are any (EUR) exclusive games I hear of or a really good (JAP) game that is playable despite the language I import those manually.

Glad it helped you. No you only need to do it the once usually, the only time you would need to do it again is if you update all your box art etc. then you would need to refresh the cache in that same menu to show the new art, then you would probably need to force cache the new images, what you have done now will keep until you refresh your images. Edit: If you look in your Launchbox/Images folder you will see the cache folder, so you can always delete the folder and the force cache again if you need to for any reason, Launchbox will automatically create the cache folder again when launched.
