BigBox doesn't let the computer sleep even when Attraction mode is off.
There are a couple of threads and bug reports about this but none of them have a proper answer/fix/workaround.https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/457/allow-sleep-hibernate-in-bigbox

https://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/35201-bigbox-preventing-computer-from-sleeping/could someone please take a look at this? I thought more people would be running their emulation box with standby/sleep in mind to have a fast access while still saving energy

Same issue here and the issue on bitbucket has no comments or votes. I know not many people care about the sleep mode but it'd be great if someone has a tip to fix it
Got the "audio stream" entry as well even when there's no sound at all

Ok, i cant wait for it.
Here is my soulution, not perfect, but it works great!
Copy all the sha images to one folder an use the batchfiles.
Do you still require it? It's probably full of bugs and would turn your computer into a note7 as I am no programmer at all but It helped me and would look like this:
but your bats probably do the same thing

Maniac Manson has Amiga, Apple2, Atari ST, C64, DOS, and NES versions in the 1.9.0 set. There arent many ps1 titles in the set, actually there are just 2.
Thats the game list by the way: http://hastebin.com/matijomeje.txt
So ScummVM as a platform will be removed? What a sad day
-
Hey,
I imported the ScummVM 1.9.0 Set into Launchbox but it couldnt find most of the Media/Artwork.
the 1.9.0 Set (and the ones before) use the full game title seen here https://www.scummvm.org/compatibility/
But the media scrapers I use and probably most other people too (HyperSync, Emumovies), use the short gameid for artwork instead of the full title.
example:
Broken Sword 1 The Shadow of the Templar (CD PS1).zip gets imported as "Broken Sword 1 The Shadow of the Templar"
The artwork I found would be called "sword1.png" because the gameid is "sword1".Is there a tool that renames either the artwork to the full name or (probably easier) the "Roms" to the short name?
-
Well, Launchbox doesnt have like 80% of the Media for it and EmuMovies and Hyperspin Sync only have media for the shortname/gameID.
I guess I have to find a tool to rename the full game name to the short gameid to be able to scrape for media.

Do you have any tips on how to get the Media for the new ScummVM (1.9.0) ? It doesnt use those short names anymore it uses the full game name like this:"Broken Sword 1 The Shadow of the Templar (CD PS1)"

Unless something changed severely in .180, we are using slightly older info, but it's worked pretty much flawlessly until now. You used the MAME Rom Importer and called the platform Arcade, and it was all messed up?
yup
I installed 6.12 stable again (from beta 22) and it parsed the mame games perfectly fine without any duplicates/clones.
-
I am on the latest beta and I tried importing a SPLIT mame rom+chd set into launchbox but it would always import every game and all its clones no matter if i clicked "originals only" or "skip clones and prefer region x". It didnt seem to do any difference so I had a lot of games that were imported 10-15 times.
Is that a beta bug or am I doing something wrong?
edit: a lot of games also would keep their filename instead of the parsed game name (comg079, comg094, comg107 etc) is launchbox not compatible with 0.180 ?

But, if you can't wait and want all the bells and whistles, or are trying to get a hard (impossible?) to set up system like ScummVM or Future Pinball to work, then Rocket Launcher is currently your best bet.
Wait a second... how do you get ScummVM to work?
I mean I've got it to work in Hyperspin+Rocketlauncher but I have found no convenient way to import all the scummvm games I have in Rocketlauncher to launchbox

Awesome! Glad it's finally sorted!
I don't believe so, no. That would be awesome though. I will say that the images that it downloads when you scrape the OAGD for your games in FS-UAE are stored in FS-UAE -> Data -> Images but they're in numbered folders (i.e. folders not named after the game title) and the image filenames are just gibberish. You could, of course, go through these manually and upload them to the LB DB but obviously that's gonna be a whole lot of work.
I was writing something up in C# it gets the sha1 filename from the sqlite db, finds the file in Data/Images copies it to launchbox and renames it.
I've got one problem though... FS-UAE only downloads the files when the game has been clicked manually. So until i find a better way I have to click all those thousands of WHDLoad "roms" manually to let it download the images
-
Is there any way to export the media and meta data that fs-uae has of the game and import it into Launchbox?
About 30-40% of imported amiga games in launchbox have no media but can be found in fs-uae/oagd.net.

There's a workaround for Amiga. @Zombeaver made a great and detailed tutorial for it. I hope that helps you
Thank you it helped me quite a lot, unfortunately I still need to manually download from oagd.net for about 30% of the amiga games
I know the dev of oagd.net doesn't seem to want to work together with the Launchbox dev but is there any other known "Tool" to sync or batch-download pictures from there?
-
Launchbox really needs Amiga Scraping (and easy ScummVM importing)
Then I wouldn't even look back to the other frontends... but without those two i will never feel complete.

If you got them working through RocketLauncher you can still use RL to load them through Launchbox.
I have them working in Hyperspin + Rocketlauncher... Do I need to add each game by hand and edit the details in Launchbox?
-
While Launchbox is really great. I really dislike that the full name is shown in the titlebar instead in the "About" section or something like that.
Everytime I take a screenshot or video I have to remove it and hope i didn't miss a frame.

You're scraping your TurboGrafx-16 platform and not PC-Engine right?
Yeah I could not find a PC-Engine Platform so I added the PC-Engine games to TurboGrafx
-
I added my PC-Engine games to the Turbografx-16 platform in Launchbox but it cannot find any media from those (japanese) games.
When I'm using the Emumovies downloader it finds the media for 90% of the roms just fine.
But when I use the launchbox integrated Emumovies downloader it can't find anything.
Am I doing something wrong?
Importing xbox/microsoft store games, imports all played games
in Troubleshooting
Posted
Hi,
I'm on Launchbox 13.12 (Windows) and I have noticed that after running the XBOX/Microsoft Store importer it imports ALL xbox (console) and microsoft store (PC) games I've ever played but not the games I truly own.
I have never played a couple of my games that I really own, but they don't show up in Launchbox, on the other hand all the gamepass games, demos and apps I've played appear.
I assume it's an issue with the importer-script you're using, as playnite has the exact same issue. Maybe there was a recent change in the Microsoft backend?
