Retro808

I highly doubt Jason or the team are not interested. Last I spoke to them about this he was not able to replicate it to be able to track down what might be an issue. This was something that plagued me for quite a few years. Between 6 total cabs/builds running BigBox it would affect each them differently or not at all. On 2 of my cabs it ended up being corrupt video files (took some testing but eventually I found which platforms had the culprit files). On one other it just stopped being an issue. Two of them never even experienced the issue. I have not had a single crash in any cabinet in well over a year. Have any of you tried removing your video folder and running BB to see if you get any crashes? Not saying this is the true issue, but it is one known to cause this for some users?

No. Currently BB does not read Joy1 vs Joy2. It only sees multiple.

Full set importer should only be ran against standalone Mame. I believe the import wizard for it even mentions that. You can run it against mame and then after the import go into the Arcade platform and select all the games and then bulk edit and change the emulator to Retroarch.

Working fine here.

That should not cause an issue. Tested all those games they they launch fine in Duckstation. My rom files have "-" in the names. Can you edit Duckstation in LB and show a pic of the Details page (>Tools >Manage >Emulators and edit Duckstation).

I probably should have better clarified my post. The GamesDB seems to be matching only the game name. So LB sees the game name for both files as "Puzzle King" (even though there is a "-" in one name) and is searching the GameDB and it only finds the one GamesDB ID for "Puzzle King". I thought it was also supposed to try and search with rom name to further refine it. That other game is listed under name Puzzle King (Dance & Puzzle). I do see that second listing has an "Alternate Name" of "puzzlekg" which is the rom name. I thought that was supposed to help refine matches better. I will ask one of the devs.

This is likely because Mame has the <Name> of both those files as Puzzle King. LB is only going by what is in the Mame.xaml generated from the version of Mame you are using. If you go into the Metadata folder and open the Mame.xaml file there you can search the files and see. Searching the Arcade Database you can also see this same information.

Not sure what is going on. I tested updating that same game following the exact steps you provided and I got 9 images on the initial pass. Clear logo and Adv Flyer were in that run. How exactly are you updating the media? Are you updating by going to >Tools >Download >Update Metadata and Media? I tested a reimport of the rom and using the media update option and got the same result of 9 images.

I am sure it will be. The new site is a work in progress as the team now has a dedicated developer. So expect there will be more updates.

Ahh, so it looks if it does not have a full Day-Month-Year date in the game's details it will not show anything on the main page. So it is not a case of it affecting everything just games without DD/MM/YYYY in the release date field.

Are referring to somewhere specific as I do see release dates? At least in most platforms they are there and some games appear to be missing the date which would need users to edit and add. It would be nice to be able to enter a date and have the DB filter to games released in that month/year. At least in the new DB current development state I cannot see a way to do that.

What emulator are you using for Arcade games and did you go into the emulator directly and make sure the controller is mapped for in game controls?

Yes, turn off updates in LB completely. The LB setting should stop notices in BB as well.

I deleted the image you posted. I understand you are trying to clarify a point, but if we do not allow it in the DB we do not want it in the forum as well.

Yes. In the Running Script tab.

Yes. I understood that. What I was saying was basically do not check that box. That box unzips the roms and you cannot do that with Mame. Can you try what I mentioned to test.

You cannot unpack mame roms. They need to always stay zipped. In that image under the Default Command lines can you remove the line below and then test and see if it makes a difference. -waitvsync

Did you update Mame in LB recently? Can you post a pic of your details page for Mame. >Tools >Manage >Emulators and edit Mame. Post a pic of the first tab.

@MJF I combined this thread with the new one you made about the missing yearly. This way we can keep any update recommendations in one spot for the team to see instead of looking through multiple threads. Going forward please use this thread for any recommendations to the new GamesDB layout.

Unless you have some really obscure playlists you should be able to find a clear logo for a ton of the more common playlists in our downloads section. I know you said you looked and saw most were for platforms so possibly you missed this section. https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/category/28-playlist-clear-logos/

What do you have your "Scrape As" set for the platform you imported the roms into? It should be set as "Arcade". Just deleted and reimported WWF Superstars and the video was downloaded fine.

Tha profile.ini is not anything from LB. Might be something from a plugin if you downloaded any to use within LB. Badges are probably just a feature of the forum Jason either never chose to use or turned off due to possibly not feeling it was a useful feature. Never noticed it personally.

What exact steps did you take to import? There are several ways to import using the "import roms feature". So knowing exact steps would help identify the breakdown. Can you clarify if the game will run directly inside Mame without using LB? If that answer is no that is the issue.
