  1. Aha, this was it; thank you @AZUR3US - somehow I must not have had the latest .NET runtime.
  2. One note - there should not even be any 7-zip extraction being performed for the file in question, since for this emulator it's "Copy" only. It's still happening for emulators requiring extraction too, however.
  3. Yeah, which is how I originally got it working. Unless I missed a step somewhere.
  4. @snaphat I see you're actively maintaining a fork of the original plugin. Do one of your unreleased commits address the 7-zip errors using the latest LaunchBox release? It looks like this isn't only happening to me. I had it working on a previous LB version. I tried the latest build from 2 weeks ago and I am getting the "7-Zip returned an error when trying to extract the archive." error message.
  5. This error has returned for me, too. After the latest update. I'll review the previous instructions for managing the 7-zip error. Edit: Nothing in managing the ThirdParty/7-zip folder seems to be resolving the issue for me.
  6. I appreciate your ongoing efforts here @sbamsbamsbam
  7. I left a bug report here: https://feedback.launchbox.gg/p/if-a-game-title-has-special-chars-downloaded-images-are
  8. If I add the missing .jpg file extension for these games, the cover now renders.
  9. Here's my images folder; note the missing file extension.
  10. This seems like a possibility. The other game I also have on Steam, which doesn't have the issue, but also doesn't have the TM symbol:
  11. I did that - you can even see the refresh in the video, as well as that when I open the edit dialogue window again the images are no longer there. I've repeated multiple attempts and the images never "save". This is happening with at least 2 games, both of which are imported from the Epic Game Store.
  12. Please see the attached video. I'm trying to download images for this ( and other) game from Epic, and it finds the images and shows them, but then the images disappear and they do not show in the LaunchBox list view (even after refreshing). Is this a known bug? LaunchBox_V5gN88QBeT.mp4
  13. Yesss! This works for me after following your instructions. I don't use multi-roms archives, so that doesn't apply to me right now, so I appreciate this! I also overwrote the .original files in the plugin's 7-zip directory with the other version just in case those ever come into play.
  14. Unfortunately I'm still getting the 7-zip error in this version. I'm also not getting any info in the logs about what could be going wrong. It doesn't output any information indicating an error.
  15. Long story short, I don't believe the actual problem is 7-zip, but rather the ini-parser dependency in this project and its compatibility with the .NET 9.0 target framework.
  16. In this source, I'm seeing src/ini-parser/src/IniParser/IniParser.csproj reference: <TargetFrameworks>netstandard2.0</TargetFrameworks> I think this needs to be updated, likely to <TargetFrameworks>net9.0</TargetFrameworks>
  17. Will this version build if you replace this line: https://github.com/fraganator/archive-cache-manager/blob/main/src/Core/packages.config#L3 The targetVersion "net472" with "net9.0"?
  18. Aha! I bet it's here: https://github.com/fraganator/archive-cache-manager/blob/main/src/Core/packages.config#L3 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <packages> <package id="ini-parser" version="2.5.2" targetFramework="net472" /> </packages> net472
  19. I tried the couple other builds that other users have provided in this thread and also get the 7-zip error. It seems to be failing somewhere in here: https://github.com/fraganator/archive-cache-manager/blob/main/src/Core/GameInfo.cs#L140 Unfortunately, there's no additional information on the exception other than that something is trying to process an empty string which is invalid for the invoked API call. The only value in my game.ini which is empty maps to mSelectedFile, which doesn't appear to be used anywhere else in this segment of code. There are a couple ini lines it looks for which don't have the key at all (for example, mEmulatorPlatformM3u), but purportedly they are not required. I also tried replacing the exe and dll .original files from the plugin's 7-zip subfolder with newer versions (since the included version also has a severe security vulnerability), as well as the files in the ThirdParty LaunchBox subfolder, but this also did not make any difference.
  20. I'm using it for both of those purposes @Fursphere. Still patiently holding out, but I'm a little anxious that we haven't heard from @fraganator.
  21. Curious if anyone else has tried that secondary build from above. If so, are you consistently getting 7-Zip errors? I want to update LaunchBox, but losing this plugin would be huge for me.
  22. I've seen occasional 7-zip errors even with the older version of the plugin, but typically trying again allowed it to work. Are you seeing ongoing and consistent errors trying to extract any files?
  23. Glad I held out on upgrading. I rely on this plugin extensively for copying larger files from NAS for execution. @fraganator - are you still out there?
  24. To add to this, it would also be great to be able to add the game's tags from Steam. I'd like to create some playlists that are better matched with the Steam user-defined tags than the standard broad genres.
  25. @AstroBob it happened to me again today, one interesting difference this time is that when I was hovering LaunchBox with my mouse, the cursor turned into the left/right scroll cursor instead of the typical pointer. <--> I tried to capture a screenshot of it, but as soon as I tried it went away and didn't return.
