I think it's a safe bet that I'll be using launchbox more than any app Realtec want to try to push!! Thanks again. Superb stuff.

My word. You sir are a genius! Instant perfection. I presume that now I have disabled this service it will have no significant impact elsewhere that you would advise me about? Thanks so much.

Hi all. I've installed windows 11 on my PC recently and a fresh install of launchbox 12.14. I uninstalled the previous version of launchbox and deleted the folder. I decided to start again. I have imported one game for the Atari 2600 and in bigbox there are big graphical issues in the menus. Large artifacts of menu items appear and disappear and menu items completely disappear sometimes. Imported videos are flickering terribly in the default theme too. to be honest even in launchbox the OK and cancel buttons seems to gain blue graphical glitches as well. Any help would be appreciated. I have another PC with launchbox installed and bigbox and everything works fine.

Yes looks good to me although my controller on the Onexplayer that I am using is no longer registering in retroarch. I hope everybody rescues everything - some feedback from the launchbox team would be helpful!

For those that are interested I installed 11.13 then disabled automatic updates in the options. Then I can start launchbox 11.13 and everything seems to be still there. Phew. There may be some controller issues but I'm not too sure right now. I hope that helps others. I hope I've done this correctly whilst the 11.14 reported virus gets resolved!!

Just trying to install 11.13 from my updates folder. It installs and launches but then when you try to launch it again after closing it automatically tries to install 11.14. If I say I don't want to install 11.14 it deleted the executable file/in the roll back. Maybe it is my complete lack of understanding of how all this works but I am feeling pretty fed up right now. I guess people with skills way above mine will get to this and save the day....I hope!

OK so this is detected for me too and referred to as a severe risk. As I have now let my protection software remove the infected file launchbox is now broken. To say I'm upset is an understatement. I've spent 4 days setting everything up. I have uninstalled launchbox but all my folders are still there. When this is sorted can I just install launchbox again? Will everything work or have I just waisted 4 days? It seems like a new install will overwrite everything but I just don't know. Maybe I shouldn't have uninstalled the software but the launchbox/core.dll was reported as infected. The recommendation was to have it completely removed. What a mess. Has anybody got any advice?

That sounds like it's not too bad. I think I'll have a play over the weekend. Thanks.

Thank you so much for both bits of advice. Much appreciated. I've never heard of RoboCopy but will check it out. The problem with syncing is that I think I would need to be careful not to sync anything that related to controller configurations or emulator settings as they would be different. That is why I wondered if there were specific folders that only related to games (I think there is and it's unsurprisingly called games!) and media (again i think there is) but I'm not sure if it's that simple.

Is there a post anywhere or sticky that would clarify which folders would need to be copied if a new platform or just new games for an existing platform were added? I think those are the most likely changes over time.

Thanks. That was my fear. Especially since I intend to spend the next month or so setting things up on the laptop but I wanted to move things across to the handheld after each time I tinker. I don't want to have to copy the whole build across each time but maybe I have no choice. Either that or repeat the what I do on the laptop on the handheld each time.

Hi. I am about to set up launchbox and big box and a laptop and a GPD Win 2 handheld. Both are standard windows 10 operating systems. I will set up launchbox on the laptop and then copy it to the handheld and I imagine that will be fine assuming I double check emulator locations etc. I am not sure if it is possible to maintain both build easily though. For example if I add a new platform, or update a theme or add new games to the laptop do I have to go through the same process again with the handheld? what is the best way to keep the two builds exactly the same in terms of platforms, games and themes? They will have different controller setups which makes things a little awkward. I can't just copy and paste I guess. Does anybody have any advice or even understand what I am asking!!

Hi all. I managed to solve the problem in case others are novices and need information like me! I also had to go into options in Bigbox then select Image Cache and finally Refresh Platform Wheel Images. Thanks again for the support.

Thank you once again. I downloaded some clear logos and copied a suitable NeoGeo image and then followed the path to the file and sure enough the clear logo image was arcade. I deleted it and pasted the NeoGeo logo. Frustratingly the arcade logo is still there in Bigbox. Am I doing something really stupid? I am not sure what to do next. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hi. Thanks to you both. I expected it was something simple. Could you tell me how to replace the banner please? Is there a file in the launch box directory I need to edit or something else?

I recently added the NeoGeo to launchbox and BigBox using RetroArch and FBAlpha following a helpful youtube video. The author recommended scraping using Arcade and this worked well with good box art and videos from EmuMovies. I think it may have led to a small problem? The platform lists as NeoGeo in launchbox and if I edit it I see NeoGeo but when I launch BigBox the platform shows as Arcade in the wheel. The platform video is correct and shows NeoGeo. I have looked at as much as I can but hoped somebody could tell me where I can edit something so that the wheel shows NeoGeo in BigBox for the platform. I hope I have explained everything well enough. It's a small but irritating thing! Not least because I now have 2 arcade platforms in BigBox even though one of them is NeoGeo.

Thanks so much for all the help. I am still doing something wrong so I have changed my games to WHDLoad and that is working really well on first tests and quicker than adf files!

Yes the video is excellent. I used it to set up the amiga but I still don't see the extra discs when I hit F12 after starting in launchbox. I must be doing something odd. Thanks for the reply anybody got any other ideas about what would cause the extra discs to show when you start a game in the FSUAE launcher but not when you start through launchbox?

When I run the FSUAE launcher program in windows I see the multiple discs in the media swap area for a multiple disc game. If I start the emulator from the launcher I can use F12 to swap discs and everything works well. If I start the same game from launchbox it runs FSUAE but when I use F12 I can only see Disc 1. If I right click the game in launchbox all the discs are listed and they are listed in the additional apps section of the game when I edit it in launchbox. I have read a lot and watched tutorial videos but there is clearly something wrong somewhere!! Please help......!

I posted last night about multi Disk games. I have no problem combining games so they appear as a single image and the disks are visible both in big box and a launchbox right click. However I can't access them in FS UAE once the first Disk is launched. Any ideas?

I changed all my adf files so that their file names end "- Disk 1" instead of "_Disk1" and so on. This then meant that all the games loaded as one image in launchbox. When I right click the image I can see Disk 1, Disk 2 and so on. The different disks are also listed at the launch screen in big box. If I edit the game the disks are listed in additional applications. So something is going OK I think but....no matter what I do I cannot access any disks once I launch a game with Disk 1. If I hit F12 in FS UAE then I just see Disk 1. At the moment I can't play any games with multiple disks launching in launchbox or big box. Can anybody help please?
