Good point, in the Metadata Media Downloader, one can choose "image group -> boxes" to get all valid box image types.

Hi all, Can you tell me what are the rules are for the Arcade Games with "Box - Front" images? Since arcade games often lack a physical box, many games use flyers instead. However, some MAME games are missing the "Box - Front" category, which means that there are no images available in the games list. As a solution, I have submitted some flyers as a placeholder. However, opinions on the appropriateness of this solution are divided, with some people considering it appropriate while others do not. Nonetheless, it is common practice to use these placeholders for Box Front in many arcade games. So what image should be submitted for Box-Front for an arcade game? Thanks.

Yes, this would be amazing if Launchbox could be an applicance and 100% seamless. Perhaps Steam OS w/ Proton could be used as a basis? Even if not, it would be great if someone posted a Windows configuration tool to make the experience kisok like?

I got my password reset email ... but turned out it does not work. So back to square one, requested a new password reset e-mail, nothing in my in box yet

I've been procrastinating setting up Flashpoint because I wasn't sure there was a way to integrate it into LB ... thanks for mkaing this plugin! I'm only 6 months late to the party.

I have two RRM sticks - a 4 player model which only supports keyboard input and a 2 player "Pro" model which I ordered last summer for X-input (it has a Brooks Fighting Board in it). I decided to spend the extra money to get an Xinput stick so I don't have to reconfigure each game plus I wanted Sanwa stick w/ restrictor for SFV and an 8 button layout. Due to the way RRM wired up the 4 player stick with multiple IPACs, they don't have Xinput mode for it. The 2 player stick well for Xinput, but the Brooks Board has its own issue, i.e. pressing a key sequence during boot up can kick the controller into the wrong mode. Also, being XINput it limits the amount of hard coding I can do. It's too bad Brooks doesn't have a command line API to force the board into a certain mode (i.e. XInput rather than D-Input/PS4/etc.) to ensure the proper configuration is loaded.

If this is addressed, this can lead to the next revolution of emulation where everything is seamless; cores are loaded smoothly in the front end, settings are automatically applied, etc. Things are "OK" now, but still kludgy and not fully "kisok" like yet. The post on Reddit was pretty sharp considering Launchbox is one of the most popular front-ends out there; it's not like LB is a fringe product in the community. I'm glad the poster backed down... but now the door is open hopefully for the next evolution of LB

Odd, Microsoft Defender didn't see to blacklist my version of the shader. The shader files aren't even .exes?

I just tried to add Epic Games into my LaunchBox 11.3 instance and same issue - no games show up. First time trying to import Epic Games content into LB. I did notice, under Epic Games --> Account --> Connections --> Apps, Launchbox isn't listed as well even though I provided it credentials? Does LB use this API or another method to scrape the data?

Some games like Virtua Fighter 2 still don't have a bezel, I thought that the software supports creating a default bezel? Since my update, VF2 doesn't display a default bezel anymore? Any idea how to enable the default bezel on MAME standalone? Thanks.

Hmm... the import parser detects each ROM as a separate item, but during actual import, the ROMs are filtered. Any plans to improve duplicate checking? Thanks.

It's not just MAME, several systems have import issues (at least on 11.2)

Yes, you're right - I noticed the offsets in the LAY files have changed as well. The old April 2020 LAY files I had right=14, new ones got switched to an offset of 12 and 1/2 the emulated output gets cut off. Hopefully it's a quick fix for @dragon57 and the Bezel Project team ?

Download NotePad++ and do a "find and replace" - it will search through all *.lay files in a folder and replace the wrong attributes.

Your post pushed me to update my bezel set, I think there is a bug in the latest Bezel Project installer - it is generating invalid LAY files. I'm not sure if this related to your problem. Try to do a find and replace of your LAY files for Width = Right and Height = Bottom in the LAY files.
