Tried it on the Beats Theme and it works perfectly! Thanks!

The 2 Player Games and 4 Player Games icons also have a space at the beggining. Those files gave me a sync error on Onedrive (they can't have a space at the beggining or the end of the file name).

Never edit the default themes because they always reset themselves to their original files I guess as a safety net just in case. If you want to modify them, create a duplicate folder of the default theme and edit that, then on LaunchBox Settings change the theme from the default to your custom theme.

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

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.

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.

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.

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?)

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.

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.

Make sure your associated platforms has the proper core for that platfom under LaunchBox -> Tools -> Manage -> Emulators -> Retroarch -> Assocaited Platforms.

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).

Yes, they can be installed wherever you want, they don't need to be in any particular place for LaunchBox to recognize them.

European PS1 games have built-in copy protection, make sure you have them patched, otherwise it will get stuck in loading screens.

That's right.

Go to Launchbox menu ▸ Tools ▸ Manage ▸ Emulators ▸ Retroarch and browse for the new Application Path. Easy peasy.
