Been discussed in several threads and the recent 13.10 release has a fix for that.

This would depend on if your arcade stciks/buttons mimic keystrokes or gamepad inputs (xinput or dinput). If it is keyboard then there is a specific "Keyboard Automation" mapping section in BB. If it is gamepad (controller) than you just need to go to the "Controller Mapping" section. Of note: In either mapping section you want to map to the option called "Close Active Window". In controller automation you can map 2 buttons together in the "Close Active Window" by just hitting both buttons.

You say you imported a ROM pack. What method did you use to import and was it a full Mame Rom set or a ROM pack that was created by someone with select roms? Can you give an example of a game that does this. Also Share a couple pics related. 1. In LB right click and edit that game. Share a pic of the Metadata tab, Launching tab, and Emulation tab.

@RuHRoW If you need an older version please email support@unbrokensoftware.com and request a copy of 13.8 and advise you are on Win 7. @vince16 Please do not supply download links to LB that are not directly from our website. It is preferred users get it from the source to ensure it is an official copy.

No. Standalone is best.

Yes, CHD need to be downloaded separately. They do not come in the full Mame rom set. The default location is to place the CHD file inside of a folder that is named exaclty as the rom (the zipped rom) for the game and then that folder is place inside your roms folder. Example: NFL Blitz 2K Let's say your Mame rom are get in. \Launchbox\Games\Mame The file and structure for the CHD would look like: \Launchbox\Games\Mame\blitz2k\blitz2k.chd

Are you using Mame standalone or Mame in RA?

BB

If all you want is Arcade which would include Neo Geo go to Pleasuredome. Google Pleasuredome io and their git is the first result. Get the Mame rom set from them. Import those and let LB create the arcade playlists and it will make the SNK Neo Geo playlist for you. Don’t mess with a separate Neo Geo rom set. Easiest way to get things going.

What is going on is you can never edit any of LB or BB Default themes. They will always return to original code. This is done to ensure LB/BB always has a working theme. What you need to do is copy the Default theme and rename the copy whatever you want. Then you can edit that new theme. You need to then change BB to use that new theme.

It is not a case of not wanting to support. Here is Jason's response from a thread with the related error Win 7, 8, and 8.1 users are getting.

Glad you are sorted. As much as we would love for LB to "just work" out of the box for everyone there will always be some outliers due to the huge parity difference in Windows pc builds. Those command lines are the most common ones used that can get a majority of our average users up an running with little fuss.

Please see Jason's responses in this thread.

Possibly a user could create a plugin or an AHK script, but as it sits now LB does not have a binding for this.

@sersoft2008 What version Windows are you on?

this would likely need a custom theme made to turn them off in Discovery Center's current state. There is not a specific setting that was implemented.

You could also keep the other versions and just combine them together (In LB select both games and choose "Combine Selected Games). You can then set the non-cassette version as default that way it is the version laucnhed when clicked on. Then should you ever desire to play the other version it is available as an additional app via right click in LB and in BB is it available in the Game Details screen.

Locking thread. There is another thread for this same concern and Jason has already responded about LB and Windows OS that have reached their end of life support.

Not according to Jason's post about an hour ago. You will just have to reinstall the last version that worked for you then make sure you uncheck the box in your updates setting for “Automatic downloads in the Background”. This way you stay in that version.

LB has always defaulted to \Launchbox when it installs. At least in the 7 years I have been using it. So if your main LB folder is called something else it was not LB originated. Maybe rename that main folder Launchbox and then run the installer. When done name it back to what you originally had it as.

If you use LB Full Mame Rom set importer there are options to select to leave out specific types of files/games. Additionally one of our devs created a plugin to convert an xml to LB formatted xml that might do what you want with Hyperspin data.

Just an FYI, LB would only force the update if you had the option for "Automatically download updates in the Background" checked. Otherwise, with that off, LB would alert you an update it available either via the bell icon at the top or a pop-up notification depending on which option you chose for LB notifications. It would then only download if you click to see the notification and then click the download button.

That import process if you have LB set up Mame has been in place for well over a year and we really have not had many users report issues. I suspect maybe one of the command lines might be in conflict with something on your pc like an out of date video driver or Windows update. Heck we have even seen Corsair keyboard software cause LB/Mame conflicts. -waitvsync could have been the issue with your pc. Could also be a difference in your monitor's refresh rate. I would ay try adding that command line back in an see if it brings the issue back. If we can narrow down what might be causing issues with your build it would be helpful if a change is needed. I went ahead and tested a new import on my test pc having LB set-up mame and .261 keeping the stock command lines and no issues.

Go to your \Launchbox\Updates folder. Run the installer from the version you want. Make sure to look at the path it is installing. Make sure it is not \Launchbox\Launchbox. It needs to install to \Launchbox

Yes, noting Android would be helpful. Moved to Android subforum.
