    10.8-beta-1 Released

    in Beta Testing

    Posted

    Those new features are AWESOME! The clean-up media prompt was one of my requests in the stream we did for the poll, so I am glad to finally see it there! It will make a lot of OCD users like myself to be able to clean duped/unneeded stuff without fearing of deleting wanted art.

    Thank you Jason and Christian for your hard work ?

    We were using WPF to do the blur, but it was way too much of a performance killer, no matter what we did. So now we're simply just blurring the background image once manually via a multi-threaded CPU-driven Gaussian blur, saving the image, and then using that image in the XAML. So unfortunately I don't have a solution for videos.

    Are the blurred images disposed after closing each LB session? The "saving the image" part got me preoccupied as my set at its current state does not have any free space to spare :S

    Hey Turnster; there seems to be an invalid character in the Arcade XML file. If you go to Launchbox/Data/ and share the Arcade.xml here, I could take a look and see what could be causing it.

    Another thing you can do, is go to the Data Backup folder, grab the latest (by date) Arcade xml file, and use that one instead in the regular folder.

    Get to know your fellow Launchboxers!

    Hey guys!
    I saw that there is no topic of this sorts in the forum, and I thought it would be a nice way to know a little bit more about everybody in here. I'll start and I hope more of you will join me in this idea:

    • Name:
      Bryan
    • Age:
      33
    • Username story:
      Condorito is the name of a comics character I used to read A LOT when I was young (even though the comic books were not originally from where I live :)). The K was a modification as my last name starts with a K.
    • Favorite system:
      Nintendo Entertainment System
    • Favorite game:
      Super Mario World (hard time deciding this one; but I ended up choosing it because was the one it marked me the most through the years)
    • Favorite genre:
      Graphic adventures (OG Sierra and LucasArts opened my eyes!)
    • FE scene recap:
      Emulation lover since the 90's, started with Hyperspin almost 10 years ago, media creator (my stuff can be found both in Hyperspin as well as Emumovies), moved to Launchbox about 3 years ago.
       

    You don't need to follow this format; it can be anything you want, even just one sentence or a wall of text.

    Cheers!

    This whole thing looks like a BB Startup theme + RA Windowed/Full screen problem. I would advise to try what @Mr. RetroLust said. See if disabling Startup themes in BB makes any difference. If it does, enable them back and play around with the Windowed Fullscreen setting in RA. If you are hearing sound but have a black screen it might be related to focus.

    Yes. No doubt about it. I did that switch some time ago and the difference is abysmal.

    My minipc takes only 5 seconds to startup and trigger Bigbox automatically, whereas before with an HDD it took like 30-40 seconds for Windows, and then another 40 seconds in the BB intro before reaching the main category. Same with cached images from the wheels in terms of speed of scroll and instant display.

    If its any help, I have the Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB. Got it for 100 bucks I believe. Black Friday/Cyber Monday is a good time to update your technology.

    Dude, what a way to present yourself! Loved your topic opener. I gave you a reaction on each one of your posts. Deserved.

    I wish you the best in this new episode; hoping to hear and see great things from you and your teamwork alongside Jason :)

    Now back to the basement; those lines of code will not get chopped by themselves!

    Looks awesome Lust!

    Have you tried testing red colored game videos? I am asking because of the blue glow frame you have in the cab. Maybe desaturating that section to a whitish glow makes it more generic? Just thinking out loud.

    @RULLUR do me a favor, and get the image file that is giving you problems, zip it up and attach it to a post here, I will take a look at it.
    If you upload the image here as an attachment directly it changes its properties completely, so it is not actually the same image you are having problems with.
    At the same time, you can verify if it is an image malform if you just open it up with Paint for example, and re-save it again as a different format (i.e. png > jpg or viceversa). Then replace the original image with the new one and see if that makes a difference.

    @Jason Carr is there any way to mass-edit a platform to add additional app after launch , as i need to use it for fm towns emulation using daemon tools to mount the iso & then launch unz.exe for the emulation , but i dont want to have to go through 100's of games changing it manually.

    If not could you consider adding this function please.

    Harry, check this topic out:

    I used this workaround to bulk add a 3rd party tool to some of my PC games.
