how can one get their dirty little hands on the beta? i can't wait to try!

Hi all, i am about done with my GPD Win build and was hoping someone could help me out as I don't have the programs or know how to make a custome platform clear banner. These would be the console names you scroll thru in big box. i have an external HDD with CD images and I would like to have the consoles that require the HDD say so. if some one can help, here is what I would like it to look like, they will all be the standard platform image, just that behind the platform, there would be an oversized HDD behind the platform name than in a smaller font, under the HDD, have it say "REQUIRED". platforms I am looking for are: Sega Dreamcast Sega CD Sega Saturn 3DO MAME 184 Nintendo GameCube Sony Playstation TurboGrafx 16 CD any takers feel like helping a newbie out? Also, where would I put these new images? thanks for reading and any help you can offer

All better, I had renamed a few systems so the folder locations were incorrect.

This is odd, I don't know if it's a bug I should report... so after the reboot, everything came back. But now when I start a game, it runs, but the box art disappears so I am having to re scrape each platform to force the image to delink again. any thoughts?

Never mind, a quick reboot and everything came back.

Uh oh. I thought I read that I could reinstall LB over a previous version and maintain everything that had been done already. o see that in the folders, everything downloaded is still there but in launch box itself, there are no platforms listed. Is there a way to restore all of the work I have done? I would hate to have to re scrape everything when everything seems to be local in the folders. PLEASE HELP!

Never mind, working now! I had to delete a vectrex cig file

Makes sense but for some reason, still not working for me. Whatever game I load, it brings up whatever overlay was loaded last. fyi, I have "vectrex.zip" in my mame artwork folder. Within that zip is the lay file, all looks good.

I've tried all suggestions that I could find and nothing seems to stick. i have tried both mess and mame cores, they both play vectrex games just fine and will load up the generic minestorm overlay. I can change the overlay within the game and that same overlay will load next time no matter what game is started. I had this working fine in HS. any thoughts? Anyone have clear step by step instructions to get the overlays to load correctly? thanks!
