  1. Ha I've seen some of those gormless submissions while moderating. What's more infuriating it's that they tried to stretch fanart that I personally corrected myself!! (Persona 2). Moderating destroys your faith in humanity sometimes... LMAO
  2. My take is that every rom hack should be judged separately, some hacks change the game so much that the result could be considered a new game, other hacks are so minor that it can still be considered the same game. I think that the achievementes hacks enter into the second category. My concern is that when you import games it would grab the metadata of the wrong game instead of the one you want since they're named so similarly.
  3. It's perfect now. Thanks for the fast update!
  4. Hey this is prety cool. A rare version of Contra. Would it be possbile to make the video snap start straight up on gameplay? The first 18 seconds are kinda useless, Anyway, thanks for sharing your amazing work!!
  5. Thanks, Glad you like them! I mainly use Photoshop, Vegas and Handbrake. Sometimes I use Streamlabs OBS to capture gameplay or JDownloader2 to download gameplay trailers and/or video effects from Youtube.
  6. Everything seems fine in your settings. What game are you trying to load and what format is it? It might be that you're trying to run a zipped file, LaunchBox extracts a bunch of files from it and sends the wrong one to Retroarch.
  7. Post a screenshot of your emulator settings and associated platforms settings so we could see if there's a hard to spot typo you might be missing.
  8. I understand what you're saying now. I have that problem with Switch games too (I made custom boxes and deleted official ones to make them all match but I have very few games compared to people that have them all). We definetly have a problem with the lack of consistency when it comes to boxes. I guess we can't do much about it from our side, we'll have to wait until they improve the database by adding more sections and cleaning the current ones (did they hire a web developer yet?)
  9. You can make LB to show a fanart boxart if an offcial boxart is no present, there's a priority settings that can manage this (not sure if free users can access this though), you don't have to add a fanart outside of its appropiate section. The moment you let people decide what to put in empty spaces you'll have logos, banners or whatever along side actual boxarts, people like to upload their hacks into the database thinking it would be what everyone else would want.
  10. I agree with option 1). The other one is basically a hack, I don't think we should have hacks in the database (but having them on your own system is fine), the db should be as vanilla and neutral as possible. Yeah, I don't like people essentially remastering the game with the emulator's enhancements and then uploading pictures of it to the database. Anything better than what the real hardware can do is kind of inaccurate in my opinion.
  11. Make sure your associated platforms has the proper core for that platfom under LaunchBox -> Tools -> Manage -> Emulators -> Retroarch -> Assocaited Platforms.
  12. Thanks! Will do.
  13. Hey those backgrounds must be deleted asap or replaced with proper ones. Unfortunately there's people that don't bother to read the rules and decide to add things that go against them or decide to backup their wierd hacks into the database. Plus the mods are stoned 24/7 and accept a lot of things that should not be accepted (I know I've been guilty of that myself).
  14. Yes, they can be installed wherever you want, they don't need to be in any particular place for LaunchBox to recognize them.
  15. Filling some gaps on my BigBox with these videos. Thanks for making and sharing them!
  16. European PS1 games have built-in copy protection, make sure you have them patched, otherwise it will get stuck in loading screens.
  17. That's right.
  18. Go to Launchbox menu ▸ Tools ▸ Manage ▸ Emulators ▸ Retroarch and browse for the new Application Path. Easy peasy.
  19. Those are pretty cool! Anyway, hope you get better soon.

  22. Must be an issue on your end, patches are loaded on my rpcs3 when launched through LaunchBox (tested GOW3 with the "Skip intro" patch).
  23. BigBox uses Windows Media Player or VideoLan to play videos, the latter is recommended because it doesn't need external codecs for some video formats. you can change in BigBox options which one you want to use.
  24. Can't be done. Just kidding, in the LaunchBox/Themes/Unified/Views folder, open any view that has wheels (ie Wheel4GamesView.xaml, don't forget to backup any file before editing it) try changing the following variables in the "Wheels" section (about line 250): CurveAmount="-1.5" CameraZPosition="2.8" VisibleCount="10" PageSize="11" Spacing="0.575" This is an example you can tinker with the numbers yourself if you want different results.
