Latest version is actually .275

Currently its "OR" for same fields and "AND" for different fields. For example Platform = NES OR Platform = SNES OR Platform = TG16 AND GENRE = Beat'em UP AND REGION = USA OR REGION = JAPAN ---- I hope that makes sense. like fields are "OR", different fields are "AND"

Why is downloading metadata required when trying to download media? Shouldn't it be an option? "Just download media" In my experience, I usually have to run the download media a few times on larger system sets before it gets everything for whatever reason - but I don't see why I have to download metadata over and over again?
-
Is this because of launchbox's insane desire to use relative pathing for everything? I wish they'd disable that, or at least give you a choice. Relative pathing is super annoying.
-
So for the sake of discussion and clarity, I recommend the verbiage be updated to be more clear (in both launchbox and bigbox). I know this is a little silly, but its confusing as it stands. Launchbox - "Automatically download updates in the background" "Updates will be automatically installed when ready" BigBox - "Would you like to install this option right now? (Choosing no will install the update the next time bigbox or launchbox is started) The way its coded, you cannot opt-out of an update once its downloaded. That needs to be clear to the user. Like hey, I'm right in the middle of configuration something, can I not update this second please?

New TeknoParrot emulator profile looks good.

Has anyone tried running this code through ChatGPT or something to see if it can help update it? -
Thinking through the use case, it would have to be tied to attract mode on all instances of 'linked' BigBox. if cab1 = attract mode && cab2 = attract mode; sync attract mode between all linked systems else if cab1 =/= attract mode or cab2 =/- attract mode; do nothing loop There's probably only a small handful of people running linked cabinets (driving games and lightgun games mostly?), so the effort here probably not warranted unfortunately.

LaunchBox 13.19 - Steam games won't import
Fursphere replied to Fursphere's topic in Troubleshooting
The Steam install on that particular PC is pretty light, so if it only targets 'locally' installed games, it should be fine. -
LaunchBox 13.19 - Steam games won't import
Fursphere replied to Fursphere's topic in Troubleshooting
Hmm. There are a bunch of entries in the import blacklist. I wonder if they all got BL'd when I deleted the platform before? (I didn't know this file was a thing) Is it safe to just delete this file? -
I made these notes as I was doing them, so this is the order of events I went through... manage - playforms - path to DC roms is correct Delete 'Sega Dreamcast' platform completely. Move portion of roms to another folder Re-imported Dreamcast collection. Manage - Platforms - Path to DC roms is correct. Confirmed Options - Automated Imports is enabled shutdown launchbox moved a portion of roms back into the 'main' folder restarted launchbox After 10-15 seconds, automated import appeared to happen successfully. shutdown launchbox again Moved the remained roms back into the 'main' folder Could NOT restart launchbox, as the process will still 'hanging' from when I shut it down. Waited 5+ minutes for it to close on its own (used a stopwatch) finally just killed the process.... started up LB again after 10-15 seconds the autoimport process ran and imported the remaining roms. So besides the weird hang on shutdown (not a normal thing), deleting the platform seems to have fixed it. Even though the configuration appears to be exactly the same? anyway, thanks!

LaunchBox 13.19 - Steam games won't import
Fursphere replied to Fursphere's topic in Troubleshooting
Importing steam games manually works fine. I purchased a new game. Installed it. And it didn't import. So I installed a few more games, and they didn't import either. No symlinks. I am running Stablebit Drivepool. Launchbox is installed on c:\ (nvme), and Laucnhbox, steam, roms, etc are on D:\ with is a drivepool of 2x 14tb drives. Never had an issue with drivepool and launchbox before though. -
Rom path: D:\Roms - Console\Sega Dreamcast - UN\CHD USA Nope, just CHD files in the folder. I think it was happening with SegaCD too, which has a similar path. If I "import - folder" it will pick them all up. But if I add more CHDs to an existing folder, and then do one of the things that should trigger an automatic import, it doesn't work. Restarting launchbox or "scan for added roms" this is in the latest release, 13.19 The automatic importing of Windows games (steam) doesn't work anymore either. I have to manually do it.
