If you imported the game into a Taito Type X platform make sure you set the "Scrape As" for the platform to "Taito Type X". This will bring it up. Normally all arcade boards are scraped as "Arcade".

Sorry you are disappointed, but this is not a LB bug or error. A couple things here. 1. Version 13.7 runs just fine. Most likely issue is when you installed the new version of LB it installed into a sub folder path: \Launchbox\Launchbox. So open your LB folder and see if you have another folder inside there called "Launchbox". If so delete that folder and then go into the updates folder and run the latest installed. Before finishing it and letting in install check the path it is installing to it should read \Launchbox. If it shows \Launchbox\Launchbox change that path. 2. If you downloaded or bought a LB build from a site you will get very little help from this forum. Prebuilds users can download for free are tough to troubleshoot as the user does not know what was done and we end up chasing gremlins trying to help. If you bought a preloaded hard drive your best bet is going back to the seller for help. If you even can get help from them at all.

In LB go to >Tools >Manage >Emulators.

How did you import the games and set up the emulators in LB? There could be a number of reasons your games are not launching correctly. Maybe give an example of a platform and a game and share some pics of your LB setting for the emulator you are using for that platform.

LB/BB does not control mapping for in game emulation. That is left to the emulator directly. The mapping section in LB/BB are only for moving around the BB UI and for control functions to exit a game while playing. So LB/BB only sees it is either an xinput, dinput, or keyboard device interface. So there is no remapping of A/B on a controller in the way Retroarch would do for the emulation cores.

Not sure where in the video you hear this, but just want to advise the Nesting options is only useable (Add or Edit or View) when you have LB set to show "Platform Category" view. In @sundogak post the first pic right under the "Search" bar in the LB image you see it shows "Platform Category" for the view. That needs to be showing in order to properly use. Keep in mind some restrictions. A "Playlist" cannot have a nested listing. You cannot have a "Playlist" with a "Playlist" nested under it. Only Categories and Platforms can have nested listings.

Not sure. Would need to know what other games marked as preliminary got imported for you. LB typically only imports games marked as "Good" and "Imperfect" in the Status. Also the LB Database has nothing to do with what gets imported for any platform. The database is only for metadata completion. For Mame, if you are using the Mame Full Set import option LB reads the Mame.xaml which comes from Mame's data and compares it to the check boxes you selected (or unselected) in the import wizard. Both those are listed as preliminary by Mame. Honestly I am not sure why Preliminary is not imported, but Imperfect is. There are games marked as "Preliminary" but have Emulation as "Good". That knowledge is definitely above my pay-grade. Compare Knights of Valor and Bucky O'Hare http://adb.arcadeitalia.net/dettaglio_mame.php?game_name=buckyea&search_id=1 http://adb.arcadeitalia.net/dettaglio_mame.php?game_name=bucky&arcade_only=0&autosearch=1

minferno is listed by Mame as "Preliminary" that is why LB did not import it. Even though it is technically playable that preliminary tag is one LB will not import. For Super Off-Road just checked and my last import has offroad and offroadt imported as separate games since offroadt is the Track-Pack version. This is from Mame .268 import. Even checked a cabinet that has not been updated since Mame .240 and imported separate as well.

Check your TeknoParrot UserProfile folder. The xaml for that game should be something like SegaOlympics16 or SegaOlympics2016. To confirm just open the xaml file with NotePad or NotePad++ and 3rd or 4th line is the GameName.

Is that a Platform, Playlist, or Category? Depending on which then you need to file the image in the right spot. In the \Images\Platform Icons folder there is a specific folder for "Platform Categories", "Platforms, and "Playlists". Right click on Gun Games in LB and Edit. Top of the edit window will confirm what it is. It will either say Edit Platform Category, Edit Platform, or Edit Playlist. Then be sure to put the icon in the right folder.

Do you have a "Category" in LB called gun Games? The icon location you are showing is not linked to games, game folders, or actual platforms you imported games to. It is linked to the "Category" (or rather "Platform Category" level of LB.

What? No one is assuming you are a noob, not giving you a lack of credit, nor thinking you do not know how to import roms. The image you posted shows the game imported to a platform called "All" that is all I was advising. You asked why you had 2 "All" listings and thanks to the data/pics you provided we see why. I will move along and help out other posts.

Leave to good ole' @JoeViking245 see a need and create a plugin. 👍

Yeah that second pic shows the platform issue. This goes back to my first post mentioning importing games with the platform as “All”. You need to choose any actual platform. I believe if that platform field is blank on import it may default to "all". I am surprised though there was no All.xaml. Edit that game and set the platform to Dreamcast then find out what other games have that showing “All”.
