Pretty happy with the automatic ROM imports as it allows me to speed up creation of a curated game list (games I'm actually playing). I found two problems while using it: I don't have an Arcade folder in ./Games (Would like to import some FB Neo ones) I would like to select which media I'd like to auto-import (Hi-res gameplay videos from Emumovies and 5 other images from LunchboxDB) Also, I tried creating folder "./Games/Final Burn Neo" and ended up crashing Launchbox. Thanks for any tips and for the amazing frontend my dudes!

Hi everyone! Here's an idea I've been looking into for the last couple months. I have a bit of an OCD. Initially tried downloading some packs from ArcadePunks, but found out they are so random when it comes to standards. Duplicate files, different resolutions, formats, color depth, different suffixes, un-intuitive folder sorting... Decided to make it myself and started working on my own collections, I have a very strict set of rules for all of the games I've been adding: - Handpick my ROMS: I just add all English-language games, with the priority being USA/Europe/World respectively - 1G1R: If the ROM exists in USA, no need to add the Europe/World clones... Also I will prefer the newest revisions (REV A, for example) of any given game - Latest No-Intro set: Always pick my roms manually from the latest available No-Intro set - Unified Media Set: Media for each set should include Box, Box 3D, Cart Front, Cart 3D, Clear Logo, Video Snap (HQ), Screenshot (Gameplay)... This should be mostly sufficient to use any Theme available (No fan art or other stuff included cause these usually come in different formats/resolutions) - Unified Media Format: All images should be PNG, sizes should be relatively close and I will resize if needed to make the formats as unified as possible where viable... No duplicates! - No Region Folders: All images are found in the root folder of each category, also they should finish with the *01.png suffix - Region Separated: A classic example of this would be separating Sega Genesis (USA) from Megadrive (Europe/World) If game exists in USA-Genesis platform, I will not add it to Megadrive-Europe (Also applies to other examples such as Nintendo NES / Famicom) - Save Space: This is a focus, so I will only add HQ videos instead of 1080p or 4k videos... Will also look for a reasonable size for other media - Emulators: Whatever is possible to be run by Retroarch, will be run in Retroarch, cause I just love it for everything that is 64 bits and below. - Bezels: Every game should have a Bezel, if it doesn't exist, It will be created manually. Files and paths for the bezel configs should also be unified. What do you think of these rules? Is there any place where I could find something like this already available? Would you be interested on me posting these media packs whenever I finish them? Is there anyone else interested on helping build something like this? Cheers!

I'm bumping this post since I got no answer... Is it only me who is not able to launch games with enter anymore since the forced change from Launchbox to Launchbox Next?

I've done a small search and haven't found this issue being reported in the troubleshooting section, so here I go... In the old Launchbox I was able to launch games using the ENTER key on my keyboard. When you launched a game, the highlighted game in the list would launch and the highlighted game in the list went down one place. Now it only goes down without launching the game and nothing happens. I REALLY, need to have this back as I'm importing games one by one to have a perfect collection with no extra files (roms, images, videos, etc...). I was originally able to start at one game on the list, press CTRL+E, checking that there was no extra or missing images and press ENTER twice to exit the edit menu and launch the game to check that it was working. Then I was placed at the next game to repeat the process. I need to have this workflow back, cause I hate having to double click to launch a game. I prefer just using the keyboard. Thanks in advance to all the peeps in the development of this amazing frontend.
