Would love that too, however Android is much more sandboxed than Windows is, which essentially means that one app cannot monitor or affect another app while it's active.

Beta 3 is out and should have a fix for what you were seeing. If you have time can you check and confirm?

Hi Everyone, Beta 3 is now out with the following: Videos can now be streamed directly from YouTube using the video URL metadata point found under a game's Edit Metadata page. These streamed videos will appear in the same places as local videos would normally be displayed. You can enable this feature via the options menu An option to download and save streamed videos directly from a game's Edit Media page has been added You can now track your Play Time and Play Count on a game's Edit Metadata page, with the option to reset those counts for a fresh start This update introduces the YouTube Streaming feature, which leverages video URLs from the LaunchBox Games Database. Now, any game view that supports background or foreground videos can display YouTube content. A one-time library optimization is required when you first enable this feature, which makes sure your build is ready to stream videos. While we're adding some final touches before release, it is fully functional and ready for testing.

That file is only used if you decide to import MAME games using our ROM Import wizard. It's essentially a fallback file for when we can't use MAME itself to generate the exact information based on the version you are trying to import.

I don't think I've ever heard of this particular issue before. The only Retroid device I have is the Pocket 2 plus, which we test heavily on. I also have a similar setup to you with how I've set up the device. Sorry that I can't tell you more here. If a crash report is generated we would have received them and if so, we can look into what potentially could be causing it.

I think those are images. You can go into the LaunchBox\Themes\CoinOP\Media\Controller folder and swap out the buttons there with ones that better match your cab. Might be because it's late here, but I'm not fully understanding this question. Maybe you can rephrase exactly what you are wanting to accomplish and I'll see if I could help.

The Startup screen feature is the screen that comes up right after you launch a game, which tells you that the game is loading. Fairly certain it's enabled once you apply your license and unlock premium features, so if you are stock, I assume they'd be on. If they aren't, can you turn them on and let me know if you are still experiencing the same issue. In Big Box, it's under Options > Game Startup In LaunchBox, it's under Tools > Options > Gameplay > Game Startup and well as Tools > Manage > Emulators > [emulator] > Startup Screen

Just for some clarity: Are you using LaunchBox or Big Box? Are you using startup screens?

Beta 3 is out with the following changes: Improvement: "View 3D Box Model" option is now available in the game context menu Improvement: Updated the MAME metadata file that's included with LaunchBox Fixed: Big Box memory leaks have been addressed, allowing it to run smoother and for extended periods Fixed: Searching for games with colons (':') should now yield expected results Fixed: Various potential null reference errors that could occur within LaunchBox have been squashed Fixed: The manual scan for added games no longer gets stuck during the initialization process Fixed: Updating MAME now correctly installs the new version to the same folder (introduced in 13.12) Fixed: Fixed an issue that caused an error to sometimes appear when retrieving the version information within the Manage Emulators window Fixed: Improved stability to prevent the app from crashing when canceling an emulator download We have some major Big Box stability improvements in this one, and any help with long term Big Box stability testing would be much appreciated.

Thanks, we can't reproduce that in-house, but we should be able to see that crash happening in our reporting system, so hopefully we'll see what exactly is causing it for you.

I think for this part you maybe are expecting the Region to Prioritize field to do something that it wasn't intended to do. The way media downloads work is that it's solely based on the file you intend to import. It's actually a complex process, but to put it simply if you try and import a Japanese game, we try and match it with Japanese media. This is based on the file name, so if the game is called "Game 1 (Japan)" , that tag indicates that it's a game from Japan, and therefore we should do our best to match it with Japanese media for that game. Can you elaborate on the exact steps you are taking to get the crash? Also, which version of the app are you using?

You could go into Options, under Visuals > Filters Side Bar, and turn on the Show "(None)" item That will make the (None) item appear on your side bar, allowing you to see if you have any games in this state that could be causing what you are seeing.

If you are referring to finding ports of other games, then there's kind of a system in place for this, but it's not perfect. If you select one of your games you'll find a section inside of your game details pane called "Possible Ports", if you click that, it will find other games that have the exact same name as it.

If you didn't download artwork during the initial import, you can run the Update Metadata and Media wizard by going to: Tools > Download > Update Metadata and Media If you don't have any games selected when you open that up, it will download for all games, or you can select a specific subset of games and then run that tool.

What are you referring to when you say "thumbnails"?

You can always run Tools > Download > Update Metadata and Media That will allow you to download any extra media for your entire library, or just for the games you select before running the tool.

Without really knowing anything about the adaptor you have, my best guess is you may need to find some drivers for the adaptor you are using.

Is a duplicate of this game or another game entirely? https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/113639-townsmen-a-kingdom-rebuilt

Not sure if this is what you are running into, but if a game has a button that links to a steam game, then the title would be locked to the title that appears on the Steam purchase page.

Thanks for the report. We'll get this fixed up for the next beta. We'll look into this as well.

This would indicate that you may have a configuration mishap going on with those game folders, or the folder's themselves have something different going on than expected. Either way, can you Edit both platforms go into the Folders tab and let us know what the Game Folder it's monitoring, then can you take a screenshot of those folders and post them?

Another round of updates has been deployed to the LaunchBox Games Database. Here's the complete changelog: We've added advanced filters to the search bar. Now you can filter by Developer, Publisher, Platform, Genre, Game Type, Max Players, Cooperative Mode, ESRB Rating, Overview content, and Title. For example, search for "platform: genesis, gameType: released" to find released games on the Genesis platform Your My Collection pages now sport a new look that matches our updated styling You can now easily remove games from your collections All metadata fields, regardless of whether information exists, are now consistently visible on platform and game details pages The Changes Status page now includes your changes made to a platform's metadata We've fixed various text styling issues that occurred on specific browsers The default value for the release date datepicker has been corrected

Thanks for letting us know. We've confirmed your example, so we'll be doing some digging and identifying all duplicates and make sure they aren't duplicates moving forward.

Can you check to see if you have a Temp folder created, inside of your LaunchBox folder? If not, what happens if you create one, and then try to download themes again?
