    Got vol's 1-3 up an running in LB. Only thing is, the "additional apps" (e.g. hint books, etc) open fine in LB as PDFs, but in BB I just get a blank screen when trying to open these. Manuals themselves open fine in BB. Any idea what's going on? Also, does anyone know how I can use a different version of DOSBOX with some of these games? I tried editing the games, but the use DOSBOX box isn't even ticked!

    I have just noticed another issue with LB Next. If I press CTRL+I in LB to view the images associated with an item, then not all the images show up. The current one I am looking at has front and rear box art (as you can see when you edit the item), but only the front box art shows when browsing the images fullscreen!

    Actually, somehow the default video playback app had been changed; I returned it to VLC and that seemed to fix the problem!

    When I launch a game in LB Next (MAME), the video in LB Next keeps playing in the background! How do I turn stop this from happening.

    A lot of my games have extra PDFs (hint books, etc) listed under additional apps. In LB they show up when I right-click on a game with the PDF symbol next to it, and when I click on them the PDF opens. In BB, the same files appear but when I click on them I just get a blank screen. The manuals in BB work fine however!

    Interesting. Hopefully @Jason can comment.

    Yes, no instances running. But when I start LB up again, the games are still there and a new MS-DOS.XML is created. Is this expected behaviour?
  8. Retrofrogg
    In preparation for a new set of MS-DOS games, I deleted the old MS-DOS.XML file in LaunchBox\Data\Platforms. The plan is to copy in the new XML supplied by the eXoDOS set. However, when I start up LB Next, The MS-DOS platform is still there with all the games contained within. When I exit LB Next, the MS-DOS.XML file reappears! What am I doing wrong?

    I have a 1TB SSD in my laptop also though the Windows partition is only around 550GB. Looking forward to multiple TB SSD prices coming down!

    I found that too. However, if you have the ROMs on the NAS and the rest local then that seems to run fine.

    Thanks for your reply CriticalCid, and thanks for all the great work! I’m not referring to background videos - I’m talking about the background image that appears (if it is turned on) when you select games. I want it to be more faded/opaque so that it doesn’t detract from the images and info on the screen!
  12. Retrofrogg
    That is excellent dragon57, thanks so much! Nice selection of various handhelds but without any NIntendo Game & Watch, perfect!
  13. Retrofrogg
    Great theme - using Criticalzone blue. Problem is - the background fade setting doesn't seem to work. Is there anything that can be done about this? Thanks

    Is it possible to hide a platform yet? I have a generic platform for handheld games, but have separated it out into NIntendo Game & Watch and Electronic Handheld Games. How do I make these 2 playlists show, but not the generic platform? Thanks!

    Instructions unclear, PC stuck to light fitting.
  16. Retrofrogg
    In the digital realm, perhaps not! Just keen to make sure I get it right first time, as I've got a knack for crapping things up sometimes.

    Just to check - do we need to run the setup on these packs if we are importing stuff manually (i.e. does it still need to extract)?
  18. Retrofrogg
    Maybe on some of those old "Minerva" CDs

    Hi @Jason, The video is still listed there: Videos\Game & Watch\Theme\Donkey Kong.mp4 I hadn't realised that the video was listed under the "other" tab - I was wondering how to edit the videos. Your question prompted me to delete the video path, and hey presto that solved the problem! So for some reason, this hadn't happened when I deleted the video from the folder. Thanks for your input
  20. Retrofrogg
    Any rough idea of eta for the last 2? Just wondering whether to import vols 1-3 now or to do them all together, which would be easier.
  21. Retrofrogg
    Just deleted a video for another game in the same platform, and this time it works as it should.
  22. Retrofrogg
    Many thanks for testing. I think that LB was probably open when I deleted the video. Interesting that the problem doesn't replicate for you. See screenshot:
  23. Retrofrogg
    Good questions. It was in LB Next, but I just quit that and opened LB and it was the same there too. I tried closing and opening the game details panel but that didn't help either.

    I have been exiting RA by opening the RA menu (F1) then hitting escape.
