I turned off android games, every option there was as I don't have any android games installed (this is on the quest 3, sideloaded). Everything else works fine. Just this constant error on bootup that it can't parse my android games. A Java.Lang.Illegal.Argument.Exception. Every bootup, i can close it and it runs fine as far as i can tell.. it just seems to want to look for android games no matter that i told it not to.

Sounds Good Yeah, happening with 5200 and 7800.. I guess Manual it is lol 😎 Thank you so much! Have a great upcoming weekend! 😎🙏😁🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Installing some roms... It's been a while since I have.. quite a while lol.. I notice not I get prompted to install Retroarch OR Manually configure it.... I'm confused here. If my Launchbox is already using Retroarch for other emulators.. why does it now give you the option to install it again? Is this literally installing it for EVERY emulator? If it does, does it overwrite prior configurations? How badly am I messing up my already configured Retroarch setup if I choose this option... I would assume the option *Let Retroarch handle it* if it's already installed to be the option.. not installing it? or am I misunderstanding here. I'm going to hold back importing till I get an answer, I prefer to let Retroarch handle things if there is already a soft standard of some kind that just works with it. This whole "Install" or do it yourself is a bit offputting 😎🤔🤔🤔💩 note: I did choose the install option and it DOES start to download and install it. I canceled at that pooint. Just had to make sure.

I guess that's a hard No lol. At least allowing us to use a "wildcard".. a simple asterisk for god's sake. Anyone that's done the simplest of searches knows what a wildcard is. Using C-Beats example.. Platform - Has None of the Values - Arcade; LaserDisc in this case I'd want to use it on the title to fiilter out College Sports Games and Soccer Games... Title - Has None of the Values - *NCAA *; * College Football *; * Soccer *; * FIFA * Boom. More helpfull if we could use double quotes in there as well. just my 2 cents 😎🙏 Ya'll have a wonderful upcoming weekend 😎💯

Thank you!.. I keep forgetting that. I'll play with it, see if I can get something useful out of it... 😎💯

Hello 😎 I'm in a situation where I've imported a bunch of Amiga games and I want to sort out the low star rated games. I have an Auto-Populate list and I've set it for "Commodore Amiga" and "Star Ratings" that are "LESS than 2". I randomly start to check them and lo and behold... It scares me to use these filters to streamline the games..... Is there an alternative method other than trusting these? (These stars have never been changed/altered by me).

I can't get a single core to work from Launchbox on my android Oneplus 7 for Arcade (Mame) games. I can go to Retroarch and load the mame or FBNeo core and the game (in this case 1942) and it loads right up. If I use Launchbox it just gives me a black screen. Other cores (tried TG16 and lynx) with no issues. Anyone ever see this? Anyone have any pointers?

Thank you for that. I just downloaded a xml file on the boards that a nice guy went to the trouble of creating. I never use the full set importer, way too many games that never seem to get filtered through. I curate them before hand and eliminate certain game types. The light gun support.. I totally forgot about that option! I tried it on everything and it works.. kinda.. Looks like Area51 doesn't show up! (haven't checked what others lol) and apparently games like Lemmings on the SNES had light gun support as an easter egg hehehe... Still better than where I know I was before Appreciated

It works.. It doesn't seem that the games are actually curated to the point where they show up as light gun games. You seem to have to go through and manually add each one into the "gun" section. I believe they are (mostly) set to "Shooter" which encompasses a HOOOGE amount of Galaga type games.

Launchbox works on the Oculus Quest 2 (retroarch64 sideloaded).. up until it launches... The game starts you can play it blindly (you can hear the sounds and all that).. but the screen never leaves the 3 white dots. Oh well jejeje

I have my mission for tomorrow 😁🍻

Thank you @sundogak! I can at the very least look for those terms and find the games that have those racial political opinions added to them. @Lordmonkus, I don't understand how stating that one wishes to "search the game database for specific terms (in my case terms in game info scraped from mobygames that aren't even from the original dev)" to be vague at all. So without the knowledge if which games have the scraped info I am unable to edit or request to make any changes until someone plays the game and finds it by accident. I also don't presume that it was made with malicious intent. Yet I also (literally on a daily basis) find the current state of racial politics to be nauseating to the extreme, especially against Caucasians. That's something I come to gaming to get away from. I don't go looking for brown people in my games (nor do I teach my children to) because I'm Mexican. Unfortunately most of these public databases are susceptible to carrying racial opinions that I would rather not have introduced into a hobby that is better off without it. The fact that devs from back in the day took pictures of folks around the office is a good thing. When I worked at Microprose in Alameda CA. back in the 90's they went around and asked for volunteers to have their pics taken for Falcon pilots. The last thing I want to see is someone at Mobygames point out that the majority of characters are white as if it's a bad thing. That shouldn't matter in any game. So the Moby editors are pointing out that only whites are represented is either a good thing or bad thing.. BUT why should it matter? Sorry if I sound aggressive about it, I don't mean to come off that way, I just detest race getting brought into things that should have absolutely nothing to do with it. I never met a dev that went into making a game with any racial intent and so would like to find a way to find that content and remove it before it ruins a good time gaming with someone's racial views.

I mean pre-emptively searching.. for example "representing white people " so I can just delete any racial references/opinions from popping up. I just want the game info.. not really wanting to have to deal with racial/political/societal opinions/content when someone goes to play a game..

Is there a way to search the db so I can modify and save to my LB?

Is there a way to search and get rid of racist crud like this before someone sees it on my system? 😣😳😵🤔
