If i was you id install beta two again and see if the error re-appears, if it does can you please report the error in the beta thread below, thanks. 11.12 Beta Testing - Beta Testing - LaunchBox Community Forums (launchbox-app.com)

Im using beta 2 myself.

Whatever is happening seems to be unique to your system. I just added The Lions Song to my Launchbox with zero issues. Are you using any plugins, and what version Launchbox are you using?

Try unchecking the box to import that video type (there isnt one for that game anyway) and see if it imports. I will pass this on to the devs though, thanks.

No this isnt possible, i dont believe any monitor or TV support this.

The mame fullset importer doesnt care about the files in the folder, it just needs the location, it will never show the list of files in it, just finish out the wizard and the working games will import.

Both - b and -e are needed if you want games loaded fullscreen. One command is load rom file, the other is for fullscreen.

same, as for fullscreen, just open Retroarch by itself and press F it will go fullscreen, save "current config" and it will always open that way in future.

Mednafen and beetle are the same core, its called beetle in the UI, but its actually mednafen. Do you have the bios files for PS1? and as always, do the games work in the emulator by themselves? That should ALWAYS be what you do first, get the emulator working with your games then, import to launchbox, that we we can isolate the issue to Launchbox and that makes troubleshooting far easier.

You will need to be more specific here, what emulator? You also mention core, so are you using retroarch?

I guess so, if there is no option for Swedish in Launchox then we either have a incomplete translation package, or no package at all. Unfortunately if no user who can speak Swedish has offered to make a translation package for that language then there isnt really anything we can do, we only have two developers, both who are from the US, and i highly doubt speak Swedish, so it will be on a user to provide those translated files in order to be incorporated into Launchbox.

Have you specified the correct core to use for the selected platform in the associated platform tab of your Retroarch entry in Launcbox? Did you use default system names when importing or custom? Which platforms in particular do you have issues with?

You dont need to download anything, if we have a Swedish translation it just needs switching to in the options of Launchbox. If you downloaded files from the translation thread here on the forums, those files are not for users, they are for the people actually doing the translations into other languages.

Perhaps we should clarify what theme is actually in use here before we start playing the blame game, at the moment all i see are assumptions. It's quite possible those assumptions are correct, but lets see. So @HappyGuy what theme are you using?

Sounds like you are on the text list view. Every theme has to have a text list view, so if thats the view set in Bigbox it will be the same on any theme you switch to. Head to options/views and switch it there, or head to mappings and set it to a button and switch it on the fly.

Also to add to that thought, there is a checkbox in the wizard to download metadata, you are not unchecking that box right?

Also, maybe a sill question, but do the games with no videos downloading have database ID's associated to them?

Ok, so i just did a little test here. I went to Tools/Manage Platforms and change the location of my Arcade videos to a empty folder on my desktop called videos. I then highlighted the first twenty videos in my Arcade platform and ran the metadata and media wizard from the tools menu. As you can see it's scraping videos fine. And here is that previously empty folder now filled with videos for the games i just updated metadata and media for. So its working just fine and as expected here, this is on beta 2 by the way.

Do the options show in the list but just not download, or do they not even show in the list for the emumovies media list?

Can you PM me the license you had?

This is already possible, but it's tedious to do as you have to do it for each image type, and for each platform. Simply head to Tools/Manage Platforms and go to the folders tab, you can then browse for each media type.

You can type anything you like into the dropdown box you are not limited to what is there already. Enter the emulator name and point to the .exe, exactly the same as you did for mame except typing Duckstation rather than picking it from the list. Then click the "Associated Platform" tab on that same window and enter the Platform name that the emulator is to be used for, in this case Sony Playstation or whatever you called it when you imported your roms, job done. This has been described and shown in images in this thread several times, maybe you should actually read the posts rather than doggedly sticking to your completely incorrect stance on this. Adding emulators is easy and described in this thread several times.

This is why i asked you filetypes, its important, you neglected to mention .txt, but i see you have edited it in after initially just saying zip, so naturally that is what i tested. I know some file types are ignored when importing from a folder ( as not to import a bunch of unrelated shit like images and icons and such) i wouldnt be surprised if text files were also skipped for that reason. i'd have to check on that though.

Seems just fine here on beta 2.
