I wasn't having problems but suddenly it hard locked and now the app itself is bricked and the executable won't even launch through windows gui. I was able to force a launch through windows cli though.

maybe its an nvidia thing, my 7900xtx increases its usage by 2% and thats only with platforms that have 2000+ entries. Are your drivers updated? EDIT: forgot to say that I am also using the same theme.

Fantastic update, and I can confirm.. Large libraries are absolutely much faster now, as well as start up. Good job!!!! Additional versions is a great distinction for those of us keeping all the sets (so i don't have to hunt down thing for rom hack patching), and the media changes look awesome too!!!! Thanks, this and no mans sky are two of the few things I have not regretted paying full price for. Definitely getting a ton of soft locks, I can't figure out rhyme or reason as they seem pretty random. Kinda feels like when launchbox looses focus it is dropping out of the cpu que, but it is still using background resources. Observation: Shouldn't video and wikipedia url auto populate in the links list, especially if they are in the main metadata page?

Also, image size doesn't matter as much as quality if you use third screen since you can select "stretch to screen".

For reference, it looks GREAT. Ignore the rest of the mess, just moved a few months ago lol

I like this a lot. I have an exploded arcade cabinet, lots of separated screens, these look FANTASTIC on my sub monitor (which i use to display control maps) 🤩.

I sorted out the auto changing platform, turns out when I set up the platform I failed to set scrape as properly. DOH! That fixed achievement scanning as well. Leaving the post up for awareness, I swear I already checked this. 🙃

I'm weird. I'm a data hoarder/maximalist/completionist. I keep backups of everything, I seriously downloaded all of emu paradise, pleasure dome, and myrient before they all shut down and I keep full unmerged mame, fb, fbn, dphne, tosec, redump, nointro, exo, flashpoint, the older computer, etc anything I can justify as a set and have them all as alternate apps. I do this so I never have to hunt something down when a new rom hack comes out or a site shuts down. Admittedly I need more space so I can grab eggmans arcade dumps but most of those don't work without extreme finesse anyways. I even use a heirachy of which sets use which emulators. My rule of thumb, if it significantly changes gameplay or graphics it gets its own entry. Have to keep rebuilding launchbox though as once I get to about 12k games scrolling crashes launchbox.

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback. Unfortunately most of the extra images are old low quality stuff so I definitely want control over picking. I was more or less posting all this to bring awareness. 😁

It's not properly scrapping for retroachievements either. Are these new issues to the current version or because it is expecting the platform to be called arcade? All my other nonstandard custom platforms have scraped absolutely fine for me.

Looks like the metadata lookup is being quirky in some circumstances as well, for example, it treated 10-yard fight 85, and 10-yard fight as the same game. (same metadata and same media gribbles, even the same data base ID#

A little preface, as a matter of taste I strongly dislike bucket dump platforms. I like to separate things, for example Arcade or windows pc whatever the default pc bucket is called. I keep Arcade as a platform category and then I add two sub categories, Arcade platforms, and Arcade Emulators. Then from there I add the emulators as individual platforms, teknoparrot, final burn, mame, etc, and the same for individual machine sets (sega model 2, cps1, 2 , 3, etc). I know doubling up like this is way beyond standard practice but this allows me a lot of control. Anyways, I was just adding Final Burn NEO and whenever I manually search for metadata it is resetting my platform to arcade. I micro manage all my platforms like this and use the heck out of "scrape as" and this is the only time I have seen this behavior. The other thing I am seeing is when I go to download metadata im being forced to download multiple versions of different media gribbles. For example, 3 count bout, 2 arcade cab images, 2 circuit borad images, 2 control panels images, 4 marquees, 2 3d boxes, , 2 fan art box fronts, and 2 gameplay screenshots. I have seen this before on for screen shots but never anything else. This seems like a lot of forced bloat. The are both minor inconveniences in the scope of things but still a layer of extra tedium that could and imo probably should be avoided. Thanks for making this front end and for putting a next button on the metadata edit dialog, VERY APPRICATED!!!!!!!!!
