  1. Assuming you have videos, make sure the option to display them is turned on under Tools > Options > Visuals > Game Details > Show Videos
  2. Can you confirm how many files you have left in your arcade folder?
  3. The GamesDB has gone through some changes to help with incorrect matching of Steam games. We've gone through about 2 phases with a final one to still go. Essentially, Steam games will only get a match if a matching Steam ID is present. A few things you can do in the meantime: You can choose to download Steam metadata and media instead, it should be one of the options during a manual import You can edit a game, temporarily remove the Application path, and then do a metadata title search
  4. If you mean the Edit Metadata section, that could potentially work. However, it's not a piece of metadata that can be edited, so it may be a bit misleading. I could see how it can possibly be done though, so it's possible we may add it to the list for the future.
  5. First, you'll want to be on the latest beta. Then to see Play Time in one of the default themes, you'll want to sort by play time. Play Time can also be added to any custom theme, although I think only Colorful Flex currently has it there by default.
  6. Yeah, that delay is for performance purposes. If you want to make it instant, switch "ActiveGame" to "SelectedGame", and then see how you like it.

    I believe the latest version of this theme was self-coded so I could maximize the performance out of it and smooth out some edges. If anyone wants to take the theme and code a 4:3 version, that would be great. For now, I don't currently have plans to do so, but I'll keep it in the back of my mind.
  8. Yes, you simply can use any of the other flavors of RetroArch. The 64-bit sideloaded version is recommended if you want to continue to handle RetroArch on your own.
  9. For anyone experiencing this, can you update to the latest beta and see if you are still experiencing the issue.
  10. I'd have to double check, but I'm pretty sure the Pure theme uses the default box images, which have a default crossfade animation added to them with logic behind the scenes. There's no way to change the animation's properties, but you could probably replace those elements in the xaml with a basic box image, which would remove the animation entirely.
  11. Thanks for letting us know. We did a quick reboot a few hours ago and it's been back up and running since.
  12. Hi Everyone, Beta 2 is out now, which is a fairly large one. The big new feature is that RetroArch is now integrated into LaunchBox for Android. With a click of a button, you have the ability to download, install, and update RetroArch and its cores (more detailed info in the full changelog below). The version of RetroArch that gets installed is simply called "RetroArch", and can be found under Emulator Settings, and has now become the default emulator for many platforms. It is highly recommended to switch to this version of RetroArch to gain all the benefits of this update. We've also added a new crash reporting system within this beta. After you update to this version, if you experience a crash, we will receive the full crash report automatically. The more people that can upgrade to this beta and start using the app, the faster we can get eyes on any crashes you might be experiencing. Here's the full changelog: RetroArch can now be automatically downloaded and installed when launching a game (if it's not installed already); this makes it super easy to get up and playing without the need for a user to set up RetroArch separately RetroArch cores can now be automatically downloaded and sent to RetroArch when launching a game (if the core is missing) A Manage RetroArch option is now available in the root menu, which allows you to download, install, and update RetroArch, and all its cores, with a touch of a button An "Add Downloaded Core..." value has been added to RetroArch's Default Core option. This will allow you to choose from core files that are placed inside of the following folder: \\LaunchBox\Emulators\RetroArch\Cores Play Time Tracking no longer requires notification permissions (however, it is highly beneficial to grant it) You can now sort by play time The following emulators are now fully supported: MAME4Droid 2024, Yuzu Early Access The Melon DS RetroArch core is now an available option for the Nintendo DS platform PPSSPP Gold will now launch on certain problematic devices (like the Odin 2 Pro) Menu text will now size dynamically based on a user's resolution and DPI settings A rare crash has been fixed caused by attempting to load an image that does not exist Turning the Cloud Sync feature off and on again would sometimes cause incorrect changes to local sync data As always, thanks to everyone who takes the time to help us test these beta releases.
  13. It just removes the game entries from inside of LaunchBox. You'll then get another prompt asking if you also want to delete ROMs, and then a third prompt asking if you want to delete media.
  14. While my name is not Amy I'll try to provide any help I can. 😉 There's potentially a number of issues you may be facing. Here's what you can try: I'm guessing the issue started during import. If you can, long press over the Arcade platform and delete it from LaunchBox, making sure not to delete your ROMs and Media when those prompts appear. Then re-run the import, but during the second import page de-select the option: "This is a Full MAME Set". Then run the import. This should help you better import your old set. Then, I'd make sure that you have downloaded the core you want to use inside of RetroArch, and then select that core under LaunchBox's Emulator Settings for the Arcade platform, and see if you have any better luck there. You'll also want to make sure that the emulator setting to extract ROMs is turned off.
  15. The Nvidia Shield was historically one of the devices that was used in development, so it should still work.
  16. Big Box is a Windows only app, where the Shield is an Android device. You could potentially run a streaming app to stream Big Box from a computer to the Nvidia Shield. Natively, you could run LaunchBox for Android, which is free for you to try from here: https://www.launchbox-app.com/android-download
  17. Beta 2 is out with the following changes: Fixed: Turning the Cloud Sync feature off and on again would sometimes cause incorrect changes to local sync data More work has been put into the fix for EA app storefront games using the automatic import feature
  18. Sounds good. This just means you are most likely not on the latest beta. If you want to, you can opt into the beta under Options > Update to Beta Releases.
  19. The current beta has support for the different official Citra apps, and I'm seeing support for the Citra core in RetroArch, so that may have been added some time ago.
  20. SD Card access is very dependent on the flavor of Android that runs on your device. If LaunchBox can see your external storage, it should automatically show up in the root of the file explorer popup in situations when you can choose a folder. You can try formatting the SD card to FAT32 on your computer and seeing if that makes any difference for you. Btw, we got the emulator working in the app and will be including it in the next beta.
  21. If you are referring to the intermittent black screen issue that some users are experiencing, it's not something we covered in this beta and is something we haven't yet looked into. It's on a list to tackle, but no ETA at the moment. If you are ever wondering what's included in a beta or release, the changelog should hint at the areas of the app we've touched 😉
  22. The LaunchBox 13.11 beta thread has been opened, and can be followed here:
  23. Hi everyone, We have a new beta out that fixes a number of issues that have cropped up since releasing 13.10. We are looking at this cycle to be a quick hotfix release so these issues don't linger while we wait for the next set of features to be built out. Below is the full changelog. Beta 1: Improvement: The Bulk Edit Wizard will now skip the welcome page when making additional changes Improvement: The GOG login windows will now explain the steps required to successfully import your games Fixed: EA Storefront games would not launch properly in some situation Fixed: Rare Amazon auto-import error Fixed: Additional documents launched from Big Box using a third party document reader Fixed: Context menus within LaunchBox opened via the keyboard's "Apps" key would instantly close Fixed: Achievements in LaunchBox's Game Details pane would double when popping the pane in and out of its own window Fixed: Storefront Automatic Imports would import installed games in some situations where it shouldn't Beta 2: Fixed: Turning the Cloud Sync feature off and on again would sometimes cause incorrect changes to local sync data More work has been put into the fix for EA app storefront games using the automatic import feature For users that are having issues where EA games are not launching, but instead you get taken to the EA app, we would love to hear from you on whether this beta fixes that particular issue. As always, thanks to everyone who takes the time to help us beta test these releases.
  24. LaunchBox itself already accepts merged romsets. I would expect the emulator to accept them as well.
  25. Not sure. We've internally never experienced these types of crashes over about 15 different devices that we test with. However, the next beta will include a more robust crash reporting system, so when it does crash on your end, we will have more thorough notes as to why, so look out for that beta coming very soon.
