Definitely not something I have seen happen before. Can you post an image of the folder contents of your \Data\Platform folder. Also that last Dreamcast rom can you right click and edit it and show a pic of the main details page. Curios why the all icon changed to platform of the last rom added.

There should be a couple way you might do this. One is you can create a "Custom Field" and call it "Emulator" then enter the emulator name. You would then need to bulk edit your games (> select all games for a particular emulator >right click then choose "Open Bulk Edit Wizard" and apply the new field) . This would take some leg work, but once done the new custom field becomes a selectable option in the auto-populate choices when making a playlist.

OK. It's not too often what I mentioned occurs but is one of the reasons it can. Seen a couple times someone import a game to a platform then later on edit a game and accidentally alter the platform field. Are you able to right click and then edit either of those? Edit it to see what one of them is would help. One should not allow and edit as it is the one LB creates. If the other one does allow you to edit it when the edit screen opens it will show if that one is a playlist or a platform. It will likely be a playlist since there was not platform All.xaml. If so then go \Data\Playlists folder and remove the All.xaml there. You can also go to the Parents tab and uncheck the Root item checked there.

You likely are importing games with the platform as “All”. Check your \Launchbox\Data\Platform folder. If you have an All.xaml file there it typically means you have a game or games in your build with the platform listed as "All". If you close LB and remove that file when you reopen LB it should be gone.

By all means please keep providing relevant data. Was just ensuring users know about what Faeran said as there are a bunch of members who do not use betas and tend not to read the beta thread.

Merging similar threads into one and updated this thread's title. @Wally I did keep your other linked post separate for now since you are reporting some errors in logs versus just performance concerns. Please keep in mind our dev team responded to similar concerns in a beta thread and coming soon will start a dedicated post in order to better address this areas. Please see Faeran's last post in this link.

Just to eliminate this being and issue check the option for "Input (This Machine)" and make sure P1 Start is not mapped to something different there as if it is that would override the Global option.

Launch the game and hit Tab Go to Inputs (General) then Player 1 Controls. Scroll down past P1 Button 16 and you will see P1 Start. Do the same for P2 under the Player 2 Controls. This way binds that button universally for all games. To bind this game uniquely select the option for Input (This Machine) and look for 1 Player Start after the Track Y Analog option.

It was a typo. Should be support@unbrokensoftware.com

You can email support@unbrokensoftware.com for any license change requests.

They do work from that site. If you are having issues getting Mame roms from pleasure dome workin you are definitely setting something up wrong. Pleasure Dome is the the best source for the most up-to-date Mame roms.

Ah, good catch. Glad it's sorted.

Contact the team at support@unbrokensoftware.com They can help get license issues sorted there.

I have deleted a couple posts from users who continued on the topic of performance and non-beta related issues. Please create a separate thread in the troubleshooting subforum.

If it is not an actual issue with features from the latest beta that were added or a new issue that is occurring while using the latest beta it is not beta related. We can take these performance issues to a separate thread if it is something you have been dealing with for a while. The dev team is consistently working on performance concerns a looking for ways to continue to improve it as new features are added. I will not delete any existing comments, but any further will be better served in a separate thread. Feel free to also see the second question from the AMA about performance.

Make sure when you extract the theme from the zip in it contained in a folder titled as the theme is title. So once extracted the theme should appear in your Windows folder like this: \Launchbox\Themes\[Theme Folder Name] When you open the theme folder you should see the theme files. Make sure it did not get extracted into a secondary folder. Go back into BB and go to Settings page then >Options >Vies and see what theme is listed there. If it is not the one you want change it from this screen and see if it worked. As long as you extract the files from the archive properly there is no need to unblock the properties.

This is incorrect, just adding a link to the patch file in the emulation tab of the game in LB will not patch the rom. LB is not capable of patching roms on the fly as was already mentioned in a prior post. The game original game rom must be patched by an external program then that new patched rom file needs to be imported or a you can use the plugin that was mentioned to streamline the patching and importing process.

You are not being disrespectful at all and it is understandable to be somewhat frustrated if things are not functioning correclty. However, stating the frontend does not work is inaccurate. Not working for you, sure, but that is a set-up issue not a program issue. Not sure which videos you are watching, but many can be and are outdated so how they might show to set things up could have changed. Even on our Youtube channel things have changed since many videos were made. If you do not want any help figuring out what is wrong with your set-up no worries. Whenever you are ready, my initial request for information still stands. We can definitely get you sorted.

LB and BB work fine. Issues like this typically mean you likely have a setting wrong. Give an example of a platform you imported and the emulator you are using. Screen captures of you LB emulator settings would help. Show the main details page and the Associated platforms page.

Please do not revive threads that are years old. With the influx of new users we seem to have more people reviving dead threads.

No, the full set importer does not do that, reason is it actually does not import files. It just generates a working list of roms. So you would need to just manually delete the folder with the old roms to get them off your drive storage.

Are you talking about the roms? If you download a new rom set and remove the old ones then of course nothing doubles. Then you just need to do as I mentioned in the first post to update your LB build to the new rom set. The easiest way to ensure it works is put the CHD inside your main rom folder for Mame. If you follow how Mame wants CHD filed by default then it is no fuss no muss. One caveat is if you had LB set up Mame for you than LB has some custom command line configs to make it less of a need to do this. Personally, I just file them how Mame likes to see them for consistency's sake.

Have you mapped the controllers in the emulators? LB/BB do not have any interaction with in game control set-up so you need to make sure controllers are mapped in the emulator directly.

If you used the Mame Full Set import option all you need to do is rerun it against your .270 roms. No need to delete anything. Just select the Full Set import option and point it to your new rom set.

Just tested and no issues from within the Xemu exe updating. You might have to download directly from the emulator site. LB does not have anything to do with that. It is not one of the emulator we manage with update notifications.
