Need a bit more information since they are a bunch of emulators out there. What specific emulator? What does your set-up (Some pics would help >Tools >Manage >Emulators and edit that emulator) in Launchbox for that emulator look like?

Can you post an image of the contents of your \Launchbox\Data\Platform folder? Usually this issue occurs when someone has backup copies or multiple versions of a platform xml file in there.

That’s because the error you are sharing is not one related to the store fronts issue. This error is something else. I am not sure what this one is. It is odd that it is showing that a theme is not set in that error log. I would recommend rerunning the installer. since you said this happened after accepting the update. Possibly something did not install correctly. In your \Updates folder should be the latest installer exe. Rerun it and before it finalizes confirm it is installing to \Launchbox folder and not \Launchbox\Launchbox.

In LB >Tools >Options >Updates section turn on the option for Betas.

I am not 100% on how new systems get added. The subforum below is a good spot. I think the first pinned topic you can add a request there. Search though as I thought I saw another Request thread in there. https://forums.launchbox-app.com/forum/70-contributions/ Also here is an ongoing BitBucket ticket for new platforms. https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/6461/adding-missing-platforms-to-the-games

The bitbucket site is needed so the devs can have a single point of reference for bug reports. A forum gets filled with other miscellaneous type posts and things can get lost. The forum’s search, organize, and filter functions are not as useable. Our dev team working on Windows LB is only 2 and they do not spend a lot of time watching the forum. Being able to extract a report from Bitbucket is more efficient. You are always welcome to report issue here. The mods will due their best to help and report things to the team.

Look for the post in bold red font.

Do you do the workaround steps I posted in this thread? You have to set that field to false and leave it as false for now. Everyone that has experienced this issue has successfully down the workaround as LB is back and running. This will suffice until the devs release the next beta likely early in this week.

That’s up to what the emulator requires. LB has nothing to do with the file type an emulator can run. Typically .xbe is used but been a while since I messed with xbox emulation so not 100% on what others may be used.

Well that mind of depends on what you are wanting to code for. Building themes for LB/BB you would use basically WPF which uses XAML as the frontend language/C# as its backend). AHK is usually used for scripts for launching special requirements for games.

Did you go into BB settings to the controller mapping section and set up the controls?

Can you share a pic of the error.

A couple things. 1. You need to use a theme that supports videos on that Platform level. Most due like the Default theme, but some do not. So just want to clarify that. 2. You would need to download a video of the consoles boot video. When you download it be sure to name the file exactly as the platform is named in your LB/Bb and save it to the \Videos\Platforms folder.

Yeah, this error would not mess up LB like you are stating. I suspect you have something else going on. As for the "if it isn't going to be fixed any time soon" comment I think you did not read this part from one of our devs...

Considering the cost difference between the licenses (Android $15/$30 vs Windows $30/$75) you would likely have to pay the difference. If you got this on Black Friday it would likely be the differences in those prices. Do not take that as a given. That is just my view. However, you would have to email our team. Send them an email and explain your concern and request. support@unbrokensoftware.com

Our devs are aware and have found the issue with a likely fix in an upcoming beta. Please see C-Beats ppost just above mine. Combining threads following this post.

Moved to own thread as this is not a beta issue. It would be helpful if you post pics of your LB set-up for Mame. Go to Manage Emulators and edit Mame. Post a pics of the items below: 1. Details page 2. Associated Platforms page 3. Startup Screen page 4. Running Script page 5. Exit Script page

If you are running the beta here is fine but honestly this may not be an actual beta issue so I may at some point move this to its own thread. Have you tested running the prior non-beta release? Also please give our devs time. Its a small team of 2-3 and they have other work they deal with daily. Providing testing notes is helpful. Moved these posts to seperate thread.

Yes. Apologies for my typo.

See my prior post and try those steps.

Anyone having this issue please do the workaround below (steps provided by our Devs). With LaunchBox closed: Navigate to the folder you installed LaunchBox in. Go to the Data folder inside of this folder Open the Settings.xml file Look for "EnableAutomatedImports" tag. (It should be around line 54 - may not be exact depending in your build) If it is Set to "true" change it to false Save and close the file Reopen LaunchBox

Those two files to download are right inside the post you quoted. Just click on them.

If it is not beta related you just need to start a thread with your issue in troubleshooting forum. I would not even start a new thread. Just edit the title of this one and edit your first post with the issue you are having. 13.8 has been out since Oct so probably a good chance the issue has already been noted and may have a fix in the beta if it is in fact a bug.
