If this was actually a bug we would have thousands of people screaming at us about it, but we don't, you are the only person i have seen with this issue. I myself have seven platforms where i am not using the default naming, (most of these are PC platforms that default to "Windows" but i have renamed to Steam, Origin, Ubisoft connect, etc, i also have a platform called Arcade PC which is not a platform in our database) and i have never had any issues at all with corruption of my .xml files. I think you may have a more serious underlying issue here somewhere.

This part,

Have you tried installing elsewhere on your PC, does that fail also?

These look like two different issues, not the same one. @KKND in your case i would check that your antivirus hasnt deleted files. In your case @Kazan22 i havent seen that error before, and as i dont know how to code ill tag the devs to see if they have a idea. Unfortunately though it is the weekend, so you may not get a reply until they are back at work on Monday. @Jason Carr @C-Beats

Did you use the steam importer or did you import manually? It's quite simple to change though, right click the game and go to edit, you should start in the metadata tab and top right of the window should be a database ID, just click the x next to it to delete the ID, then search again.

Those are playlists, not platforms or platform categories, you should be able to set Launchbox to start in Playlists in the "View"menu.

Yeah, no program should be touching any of your data, i wouldnt trust a fan made third party app like that anywhere near my Launchbox data.

Yeah im seeing the same, so it's not just you.

Launchbox doesnt. Sounds to me like you are using Skraper, correct?

If you only have the one platform you can set Launchbox to open to "all games".

You can safely move launchbox and the emulators, as long as the rom paths are not changing everything should still just work.

Launchbox does not physically pass the file, it simply tells mame the shortname to load and MAME locates the files and loads them.

How did you actually import the games to Launchbox, did you use the MAME fullset importer? As, as of 11.9 you have to have a actual MAME emulator to run that import, it does not work with Retroarch. Also i would not recommend Retraoarch for MAME, just stick to the actual emulator. And finally i see in one of your images you have the 0.193 merged romset, you will HAVE to use the 0.193 version of the standalone MAME emulator if you actually want games to work.

What romset do you have for MAME? Where are you keeping those roms? If not in the mame/roms folder have you told mame where they are?

Interesting, i am at 100% at 1440p, but if i increase my browser (which is Brave) to 175% it goes dark for me too.

Weird, its working fine here, im on the Mario theme.

Yeah, thats unreadable here.

Oh, nice to know, i only set it up again yesterday so had to futz with finding the AHK script. Thanks.

I just use this, Sleep, 5000 SendInput {F11} Of course adjust the sleep number to the number of seconds you need.

Is it just that theme? If so you would be better asking the theme creator.

File type is of no consequence, absolutely any file type you want can be imported. Most likely cause is you do not keep your roms in the Launchbox folder, which is what it scans for roms by default. You will need to go to Tools/Manage Platforms/Folders tab, and change the game path to the correct one, then Launchbox will find any new roms.

No, your romset is fine, its the same as mine, which works. Its your emulator/rom location that is the issue, not the roms themselves.

You have 13700 romsets, not 37955, as do i, that is the correct amount.

Yeah, works fine here, clearly MAME cant find your roms.

yeah, put them loose in the MAME/roms folder.
