[Apple II]

MESS/MAME seems to work just fine with Apple IIe games. Also AppleWin is a very good emulator and is still getting regular updates. Be sure to use "-f -d1" for the default command-line parameters

Note: This command line also works with (fixes the loading of) many games with ActiveGS emulator too.

Yeah, I am aware of this. It's not crashed in that scenario, it just takes a long time to load up the list. Windows doesn't have a good multi-select drop down control, unfortunately, which is the reason for the issue. It is on my list.

Thanks. It's only those two categories.  I have many in GENRE and SERIES too, but I guess those others are considerably larger...it actually shows not responding AND turns whited out for me if I let it sit (eventually) or click anything, and becomes difficult to end task away, so I think it IS actually crashing in my case.  Or it's more or less the same result, lol...Thanks for having it on the TO DO list.

[Silver Ring - ClearLogo Set]

Thanks everyone for all the contribution! Any chance someone can make one that reads:

SERIES COLLECTIONS

I have one that says COLLECTIONS, but it's not matching the content/name well...

Also as per an earlier request:

Chronological X-Men v2
Marvel GraphicAudio
DC GraphicAudio

:-)

[Need some help. Edit any game, click publisher or developer error = crash]

@Jason Carr - Sorry to tag you like this, just wondering if anything can be done....would love to see a SERIES/GENRE/DEVELOPER overhaul, but I'd be happy with this just not crashing when clicking the drop down...any fix I can try to correct this?  Thanks Jason.

[Does Launchbox Support Nested Genre or Series Tags?]

For example, every time I tag a game with a genre Shooter, I would love it also add Action.

Or every time I tagged a game "First-Person Shooter" it also adds the genre's "Shooter" and "Action".  this would make managing these fields so much easier/faster.  (as long as they could be manually over-written for a specific quirky title that failed to conform to sub sort of usually core genre.

Does anyone have any tips and trips for this? I really believe these fields could use an overhaul/upgrade.

[Need some help. Edit any game, click publisher or developer error = crash]

This only happens in my large (43k games) collection, anytime I click those arrows for the drop-down...launchbox stops responding, have to end task and it's messy, takes awhile to close out...every time...

I know I must have some huge Publisher and Developer lists and that's what crashing it, but I'm wondering what I can do to fix/reset this? ....Some way perhaps to have LaunchBox recreate those so I can start using the drop-downs?...I want this functionality to work to compare similar company names, see what it there, get rid of dupes, and to organize things better.

Any suggestions?

[ExoDOS Import]

I had to turn them off myself, some DOS games start slow enough as it is. :-)

[Silver Ring - ClearLogo Set]

Is someone willing to make some nice Clear Logos for a couple very specific things? I've never seen these around: they would be exactly this:

Chronological X-Men v2
Marvel GraphicAudio
DC GraphicAudio

Thanks!
 

[Pinball FX3 setup]

My FX3 used to work, it was set up to just boot to the main GUI, no command lines being used, but now it boots black and stops responding, forcing me to END TASK in task manager...anyone else ever have this issue? Any fixes?

[Auto-generating playlists]

I agree! This is sorely needed!

[Silver Ring - ClearLogo Set]

Anyone have a "Metal Gear collection" OR "All Metal Gear Games"  AND/OR a Zelda of the same (either wording) Clear logo?

Those are the last two series playlist ones I'm missing, thanks so much (Sorry if I missed it somewhere).

[Silver Ring - ClearLogo Set]

Thanks a lot! Those are great!

[Does a Namco N2 / Es3 Emulator actually exist?]

Yes please share which one. Thanks!

[Does a Namco N2 / Es3 Emulator actually exist?]

would love me some Mario Kart Arcade GP DX  :-)

[What playlist have you guys setup?]

This is how my much smaller, but highly curated collection is laid out so far, with one example of how I lay out playlists in each platform too.

[Silver Ring - ClearLogo Set]

One SImple request...

Just need a clear logo that has a top section that says 4-5 Star Rated
and a bottom that says Games (centered)

So in total:   4-5 Star Rated
                          Games

I'm using this in every one of my platforms (almost).

Thanks.

[Is there a way to show ONLY games with NO COVER IMAGES?]

I agree that the audit screen takes forever to load, but I don't get what do you mean with reloading again. I had used the audit several times for the same thing plus removing duplicated covers and such, but never had to reload the audit (unless I close the screen of course). I simply sort by the column I want, open the edit screen from within audit and when I confirm the changes the audit gets updated instantly.

When I select more than one game to make changes in the audit window at one time, closes it each time.

[Is there a way to show ONLY games with NO COVER IMAGES?]

Yes, I do that currently, per platform...some of them taking forever to load, then a change is made and it has to be re-loaded again...so I was just hoping for way to load the collection like we do with "HIDE ALL FRONT COVERS", but that's okay, thanks.

[Is there a way to show ONLY games with NO COVER IMAGES?]

The opposite of the feature in the VIEW menu to HIDE them all?  This would be REALLY useful in quickly scanning through and selecting all games with no front covers in order to quickly check for inclusion into the database. (not to mention to front covers...)

Thanks.

[Silver Ring - ClearLogo Set]

Awesome, I missed those, thanks!!

[Silver Ring - ClearLogo Set]

Any chance of getting a 2-Player, 3-Player and 4-Player ARCADE clear logo? Something with joysticks instead of gamepads? :-)

[Silver Ring - ClearLogo Set]

I like many of those, thanks, but would love to have ONES removed and  to center "best" by itself on the first ones. ?

Did you get to the bottom of this ?

I am also having this issue, however it seems to be affecting all platforms, including ones that havent been modified for a long time.

Maybe a coincindence but I have only noticed this issue since upgrading to 9.2

No, sadly it still does it, but only in my giant 8Tb collection, not my smaller ones, and it has done is for many versions back, since 8.something at least, if not earlier. I just avoid clicking it now.

[Silver Ring - ClearLogo Set]

Thanks for all the hard work!

Do PSD layered templates exist for any of these? Especially the ones with ALL text in the background large, and the 4-5 star rated games Games one.. (I want to remove the text "games" from the top section only)

I really appreciate all your time on this stuff!!

[Silver Ring - ClearLogo Set]

A couple more very specific ones for my magazines / Comics Launchbox collection I'm building that I need...just a few really, but I  know they are odd balls compared to most requests..if you ever get the chance that is...

----------------

"Comic Books, Trade paperbacks, and Omnibuses"

"All Comics"

" All Marvel Comics"

"All DC Comics"

"All Audio"   (it's a category for audio comics, like GraphicAudio ones)

" DC GraphicAudio"

" Marvel GraphicAudio"

I have a lot more for specific comic series clear logos needed, like BuffyVerse Comics, Batman Comics, etc...but I won't post those for now, maybe someday....
