Go to settings in BB and change the default startup view. In BB >Settings >Options >Views >Default Startup View (change this field to the view option you want BB to startup with.

The Media Refresh option only updates the image cache LB uses to load images faster. Did you tell LB to download image when you imported the roms? What you can do is while in LB click on one game in your Mame/Arcade platform and then CTRL+A to select all. Then up on the top menu go to >Tools >Download >Update Media and Metadata for Selected Games. Then follow the prompts to select the image types you want downloaded.

Open in Windows your \Launchbox\Data\Platforms folder. If you have any extra xaml files in there that are backups or copies of the original platform xaml files this can cause the disappearing games issue. Those need to be moved outside the \Data folders.

Yeah, I should have been more exact. Can see how it might confuse if the whole context was not read. The original post was about doing media downloads.

LB does not do video marquees which is what was being asked. LB only has marquee images. Check the downloads section. I did not look much but here is a link for some Arcade marquee videos.

I would post about it on the plugins main download page. It could need an update due to some of the changes in LB. There was a .Net change that might be affecting the plugin. Was the plugin working in 13.9 beta 1?

Next stable releases are always undetermined. Depends on issues any betas see and fixes. Releases sometimes take a couple weeks or up to a month. So no concrete time when each stable gets released.

This should be an exe file so just drag and drop the exe into LB and do not set an emulator.

In LB find the game then >Right Click >Edit >Edit Metadata and Media. Go to the "Emulation" tab and uncheck the box there.

In the Edit Emulator screen for Retroarch what does the "Details" tab look like?

In LB: Go to >Tools >Manage >Emulators and edit Retroach. On the first screen on the bottom right is the check box referenced (Extraact ROM archives...). Make sure it is unchecked.

Your bug report is not deleted. Its just in open status as the dev team is not working over the weekend. I changed it to submitted. I would give them until some time during the day Monday to catch up on weekend issues. I do not use Android version so unfortunately I cannot offer any assistance.

I feel ya on this. It was not about be right or wrong, but about sharing options. I used to concern myself with accuracy but found the older I got the less I cared and just made sure what I want is there to enjoy so I tend not use a lot of features. I am sure there are things that using the LB standard option will miss, but the team will never know if it is not reported so it does help when users with a more in depth eye can use the features for things like this and report back any issues. Just keep sharing what you find and of course keep shareomg ways to get things to work.

Never stated it was a fixed problem. I even clearly stated I was not 100% on its import accuracy and only advised games I expected to be there from my split set were there. I am not a user who is concerned with 100% of the roms from a set being there. What you have done is awesome and sure it will be helpful to other users. So kudos and a big thanks on sharing and posting a video guide. Below is my last import showing MK. Matches everything form your screen shot. Also matches the split set I imported. Like I said overall I cannot vouch for complete import accuracy. All the hacks that I want and I would look for got imported without any workaround. Just using what LB offers.

No work arounds really needed. LB had an update in 13.12 to accommodate HBMame imports using the Full Set import option. I will admit I am not 100% sure on how accurate the import is, but using it to import the last set I used it worked without issue an any game I expected to be there is. Version 13.12 - Released March 11, 2024 Improvement: The MAME Arcade Full Set Wizard file requirement has been reduced to accommodate HBMAME full sets
