  1. If you want to start again, then in the filters view, press down on the Sega Genesis platform until the menu appears, and choose to delete.
  2. My first thought is that you may have left the This is a Full MAME Set option checked during your import. Delete the platform and try again, making sure to keep it unchecked and see how it goes.
  3. We are closing out this extremely long beta thread and are moving to one beta thread for each release. The beta thread for version 1.10 can be found here:
  4. I'm starting a new beta thread for the latest LaunchBox for Android beta, and will handle beta release threads like this moving forward, matching what we do with our Windows beta threads. This post is reserved for anyone willing to help us with LaunchBox for Android 1.10 beta releases. You can opt into the beta releases in the app by going into Options and enabling the Update to Beta Releases option. Then restart the app and follow the steps. Beta 1 contains the following changes: LaunchBox now remembers the last filter or platform you've used and selects it by default just like on the desktop; this works for all filter levels and platform categories (with an option available to disable) A new option to whitelist file extensions has been added to the import process Star ratings can now be set via the game menu Added the following new emulators: Yuzu, Flycast Improved the launching of the Yaba Sanshiro 2 and Yaba Sanshiro 2 Pro emulators The theming engine has seen major improvements including a brand new animation engine, a new image control, and a host of new fixes and improvements; the LaunchBox\Themes\Documentation.pdf file has been updated, but in order to see it, first delete your current file then restart the app to have it replenish with the new version (you will not need to do this after the official release). 10 custom themes by Faeran have been created or updated to take advantage of the new theme options (All but 1 have been released and are available in the app) Improved performance across all views Fixed a rare crash that could occur during imports and media downloads Thanks to all who are willing to help us test our betas.

    This theme was inspired by the Big Box theme of the same name. It is a lightweight version of the theme that utilizes the same style. The original was a stylish, background heavy focused theme with inspiration from the unreleased Aura 4k theme by iGarikoitz. There are many differences between the two themes, some are added benefits while others were compromises that needed to be made to make it work on the multitude of Android devices. This theme only contains one filters view at the moment. No game views are included and have not been designed up to this point. This theme is best downloaded within LaunchBox for Android, through the Manage Themes section of the app. This post is mainly for support purposes only. Available Views: 1 Filters view is available Requirements: It requires Android 1.10 or above due to its reliance on the Animation engine and custom image control included with this version While touch screen controls do work, it is highly recommended to only use this theme with a controller It is recommended to only use this theme in Landscape orientation, but a multitude of different aspect ratios can be used Credits: Thanks to iGarokoitz for design inspiration Thanks to Dan Patrick and his wonderful white clear logo set and controller set

  9. By default, LaunchBox does combine discs into the same game entry, allowing you to then select which disc to load up. If you want them separate, then during the import process you'll want to uncheck the "combine games" option that you'll see on one of the later pages. You'll also want to make sure that disc 2 isn't already imported and associated with your main game by editing the game and checking your additional apps section.
  10. One thing you can do is simply delete the games that you don't own. The system is designed to not re-import them again automatically once deleted.
  11. Things are progressing well. With any new person there's always a bit of an adjustment as they get up to speed, but things have definitely progressed nicely. We will have something, at least in beta form sometime soon. We are hopeful for this week.
  12. You posted two screenshots of your Edit Emulator - Details page. One is showing an application path filed in, and the other is showing it missing. You need an application path, so definitely make sure it's there.
  13. I assume you'd have to go game by game, but just checking the first game in your image "Go Go Ackman" it does look like the LaunchBox Games Database has fan made 3D box images for NA sized boxes: Should be easy enough to edit the game, go to the images section and download available 3d box images and see what you can get. You can also search directly on the website, which is what I did to find this: https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/3459-go-go-ackman
  14. Are you asking to replace the vertical space on the NA boxes with horizontal space between the Japanese boxes? Or, are you wanting to completely replace the Japanese boxes with fan made reimagining's of how they would look if they were horizontal boxes?
  15. The LaunchBox 13.9 beta thread has been opened, and can be followed here:

It's always appreciated.
  17. Essentially, what C-Beats is referring to is the thing you are referring to as a "pic" is really an actual 3D Model based on Box - Front, Box - Back, and Box - Spine images. What you are wanting is a 3D Box image, which I'm guessing you currently don't have for that game. A quick search, and it looks like there is no 3D Box image for that game on the Games Database. I'm thinking that game was excluded because it's a ROM hack, but that's just a guess. Looks like the set you are using is this one: WallyWonka was nice enough to include the template for it, so you could potentially create your own.
  18. The way SelectedScale works is that "1.0,1.0" means X value is 100%, and Y value is 100%. I forgot that SelectedOffset is actually "x,y,z", and I would adjust things by decimal points until you understand what each one can do. With the code you keep posting, you are probably seeing odd results because you are trying to combine the legacy wheel properties with the new wheel properties. Instead, a good starting point is the default theme. Here's the example from one of the platform vertical wheels from the default theme, but I do recommend just diving into the default theme files, and use that as a resource, along with the documentation.pdf: <coverFlow:FlowControl x:Name="FlowControl" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" SelectedOffset="0,0,1" CurveAmount="0" CameraZPosition="3.0" PageSize="8" Columns="1" Endless="True" SelectedScale="1.4,1.4" ItemSpacing="0,-0.8" SelectedItemSpacing="0,-0.6">
  19. Check for SelectedScale and SelectedOffsetProperty in the doc, using them in the same spot as the ItemSpacing. SelectedScale is what you are looking for, while SelectedOffsetProperty would then allow you to position that item to where you want it to be (if you want to move it from center). Something like <coverFlow:FlowControl SelectedScale="x,y" SelectedOffsetProperty="x,y" />

    I do not disagree with this. I should probably make some time to create a view that includes videos. I'll add it to my list to take a look at at some point.
  21. Just in case someone is reading this thread in the future, the preferred way to add images to a playlist is, in LaunchBox, right click the playlist and choose Edit. On the right side of the edit window there's an images section where you can manage the images for that playlist.
  22. Have you use the itemspacing property on the coverflow itself? Something like: <coverFlow:FlowControl ItemSpacing="x,y" />
  23. Version 13.7 - Released October 6, 2023 Full Changelog: https://www.launchbox-app.com/about/changelog New Feature: A new Manage Storefronts window allows for easy access of your storefront credentials and automated import settings; this can be found under Tools > Manage > Storefronts New Feature: You can now choose to automatically import storefront games that are not currently installed (as opposed to only installed games in the previous version) New Feature: You can now change your automatic import settings on a per-storefront basis Improvement: The automatic storefront import processes can now be manually run by going to Tools > Scan > Scan for Storefront Games, or by right clicking the LaunchBox taskbar icon (if enabled) and selecting Scan for Added Games Improvement: The Genre sidebar filter now nests genre / sub-genre pairs similar to the on-the-fly filter Improvement: The media download default settings during an import have been modified to be more sensible for new users; they can then be adjusted to the user's preferences Improvement: Added the ".chm" file extension to the list of extensions used to identify an additional application as a document Improvement: Updated Ubisoft's game import and install state logic to match some changes made in Ubisoft's processes Improvement: Big Box's Recent Games list has been adjusted to better represent games a user last played Improvement: The Most Played Game listed in Platform/Filter details is now chosen based on both play count and play time, instead of just play count Improvement: A Turkish language translation has been added thanks to eonder87 and StoneGolem Fixed: The RetroAchievements.org integration has been removed due to the extended downtime of their API (it's been non-functional for over three months). We are actively looking into a replacement (or developing a replacement). Fixed: Some LaunchBox themes were using more memory than they should and not releasing it correctly Fixed: The Steam Trailer media type was always defaulting to checked in the Steam Import Wizard instead of being set to the last-used value Fixed: Platform icons weren't displaying for free users correctly if there was an '&' in the name of the platform or playlist Fixed: Some of the controller binding images were incorrect in Big Box Fixed: Several rare errors related to the Download Metadata and Media process Fixed: The tooltip string was missing in the Default theme's 3D model preview Fixed: The LaunchBox Default theme's Font folder was remaining locked after closing LaunchBox Fixed: Launching an additional application listed as a document will no longer increment the Play Count or Play Time fields Fixed: The update prompt was not showing when using message box notifications
  24. This means you are on a beta, which are work-in-progress builds, and not related to what this thread is about. If on a beta, best to check the beta section of the forums to get caught up on beta specific items.
  25. The only thing I could think of is for you to delete your EmuMovies credentials from LB, restart the app and then enter them in again. The setting should reside in your LaunchBox\Data\Settings.xml file. You could also try and remove that file temporarily, relaunching LB and seeing if entering in your credentials again works. If that doesn't work, deleting the app could be an option, it shouldn't delete any of your actual library, since deleting the app won't touch the LaunchBox folder and everything inside. So, it's fairly safe to delete the app and install it again, but if you want to be safe.
