  1. I recall this working once a few versions ago, but now at 7.9 (and a couple before that), my sync just seems to go and go...I've left it on for about 7 hours now... "Please wait while syncing your collection" is still up....

    Anyway to tell if it's in fact doing something?  I have 28k+ titles so far...

  2. Excellent advice; I'd love to code something fun like a 2D game of some sort. But that seems way ahead of what I can do l, and not be frustrated with at the start...Gonna try to think of a plugin that can help Launchbox be even more awesome; not sure WHAT that will be yet....

  3.  before I approach the code/language itself... with the goal of not wasting my efforts down the wrong road or reinventing the same code I write 100 times...do you personally have a process in place when you want to come up with a new programming idea/Arron of how to lay it out, mind-map or diagram it, and how to basically be best prepared to make sure that you're going in the right direction at least? Any sort of outline prep you do? 

    Thanks.

    Hi @cleverest, we're going to be adding proper plugin support very soon, so maybe you can hop in on that direction soon! I always recommend starting with either Visual Basic or C#. C++ is a bit too antiquated and difficult these days; you're much better off with .NET. :)

    Sounds great! I'll probably go with C#, I have a rudimentary understanding of variables and some commands in it...I have a long road ahead of me...any revolutionary books/tutorials to help accelerate my progress that you are aware of??  I won't hold you to it!

  5. for the love of video games too, but I want to be able to code something on part of a windows application, supporting meta sync/grabbing, media loving features, like the awesomesauce that is LB; certainly nothing that would compete, but only for personal use...more interested in something for movies of all makes and flavors.

    I'm wondering, what programming  launguages/resources will get me there easier?  I've dabbled in C and Visual C/C++ before, but only to the point of generating a text interactive game...which is to say, not much...

    Solid advice and pointers from you  @Jason Carror others with application experience and knowledge on that level would be greatly appreciated!! Is Launchbox created with Visual C++ ??

    Thanks!

  6. Thanks Zombeaver, but your tutorial video skips the associated platform part (I just watched it) specifically during the FS-USA UUI section (at about the 47:10 mark, this is AFTER you mention and show it during the previous FS-UAE emulator part... I know we keep the EXE the same now with all the improvements as per the annotation you provide, but in the video you just click to dismiss the dialog box after choosing the executable on the latter section...so I was curious, but it makes sense to have both associated platforms set to 'Commodore Amiga'

    I have no idea where Amiga UUID came from that was there, but I changed it...

  7. I understand how to install theme videos for playlists...I just created a playlist collection for my 30 Castlevania games collection....but not sure how to get the game themes installed that are offered as individual video files...probably a dumb question....did I miss a sticky post somewhere on this?
