UPDATED: added log file and also found a few games doing it now Debug 2023-03-30 07-56-36 AM.log I have a few Arcade games that keeps throwing this error. I found it by working on "missing media". All I have to do is simply click on the game in Launchbox and this is what happens. Anyone have any ideas? Game Name: Animal Treasure Hunt Rom Name: anithunt.zip Rom set is v0.240 if that matters. I tried deleting it from the arcade.xml and add it back, but still throws error (Inner Exception) The component cannot be found. (0x88982F50) App: LaunchBox Version: 13.2 Type: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException Site: Source: (Outer Exception) No imaging component suitable to complete this operation was found.

Curious why you video is showing Citra rather than android and Nox?

I am not sure how much I am asking, but I have an idea and folks are telling me it needs to be a plugin. What I am trying to accomplish is to create or actually simulate an RSS feed in BB themes, I am wanting to make a text scroller I can include in BB themes that pulls metadata (Game Names and the Platform name it is in) from the users "Recently Added Playlist". I suppose it would need to use the settings a user has for how long the game remains in the list as well. So when you launch BB, basically there would be a text scroller showing all the recently added games pulling the data from the Recently Added Playlist, preferably including the platform, something like: Game Name 1 (Arcade) | Game Name 2 (Windows) | Game Name 3 (Nintendo Switch) or Game Name 1 - Arcade | Game Name 2 - Windows | Game Name 3 - Nintendo Switch or something like that. If that is making any sense. I really know nothing of how plugins are made and how much work goes into them. And on a side note, if anyone knows anything about it, I am looking for a scraper that can scape karaoke files (mp3+CDG), especially now that RetroArch has gotten the pocketcd core working again with the new release of v1.15.0 Any help or guidance is most appreciated

Hey @faeran, I had a brain fart on my post, using the Rincewind theme. I was hoping I edited before you seen it.

Thanks for the reply, using Rincewind, it is renaming everything else though, even the video, why isn't LB getting the clear logo as well?

I'm think I may have found a renaming bug in v13.2. When I rename something, it is changing the name of all the related media except for the Clear Logo. I'm getting this popup and am having to rename the clear logos manually:

I have a test copy of LB v13.2 I use for theme work. When I try to change the generic controller > Support Partial, LB throws this error. I never seen this until I updated to v13.2. Can anyone look through the error and give me any pointers what it might be? I tried installing v13.2 again and that didn't help. I can go back to v13.1 and it works as expected What's funny is v13.2 is working fine on my main LB setup I don't really know what to look for in the error it's throwing: (hidden content / spoiler is the error)

I would like to know more how LB scrapes, especially if it uses any particular files to scrape. I want to see if there is any way I might be able to create a custom scraper somehow. What I am trying to accomplish is a scraper that will pull song media for a karaoke setup that I have running in LB/BB. Bigbox is amazing for doing karaoke using cdg+mp3 files. Any help, guidance or assistance in helping me accomplishing this would be greatly appreciated. Perty, perty Please ???

Okay, I just sent email from a address @zizzlezazzle.com (one of my email servers) addressed to support@unbrokensoftware.com with Yahoo/Download in the Subject

@Jason Carr Hey Jason, still no email. I checked yahoo mail again and nothing there except the one the forums generated and sent me about your reply here. I have other email addresses I can use. I used the yahoo email due to it being the once I purchased both my licenses with and thought it would be needed for verification on your end. I had read on the LB Android page that I will probably need a new license as well, as the last version I had downloaded was v0.33. I plan on testing the LB Android apk on some new devices using the Rockchip 3588SoC CPU and ARM Mali-G610 GPU. So I might need the last couple versions actually. Any chance of that my friend? I had also sent an email to support@launchbox.com, if you fielding those those, I have gotten nothing back on that as well. I can email the support addy again using a different email or pm you here with alternate email addresses if you prefer.

I was trying to download the android version of LB and after I enter my email, I get an error UPDATE: After waiting a while I was able to enter email and submit, but never get an email (yep, I checked spam folder as well)

Added note on beta 4 I found before rolling back to beta 3. When you launch a game in BB, the game launches but the game video audio continued to play

By "Stand Alone" are you meaning like PC games, games that need installed? No Touchscreen Quiz Games (not sure what you mean about these) About the only thing I have that are touch screen are games like fruit machines that I use the MFME emulator to play and Yes, I do have those on the NAS, but I use an actual touch screen PC (or other PC's using a mouse) for those. Not sure about the newer arcade game you are referring too, sorry

If you can run a VM on your NAS or something like that, you may be able to do something with it. The biggest issue that kept me from looking into it more was if you have multiple users and game saves being over written by another user. With most of the emulators that can be easily done with a little research.

Yes Sir, I mapped the shared folder in Windows, in my example I made the mapped drive "Y". Then I made a copy of my xml files, (just made a copy of the ..\Data\Platforms folder in case of mistakes ). I used Notepad++ to find and replace the portion of the path.. In the shared folder, just have a folder names Roms, then a folder for each platform within that, then drop the games into their respective folder Here is a copy of my Atari 7800 xml so you can take a peek at it: Atari 7800.xml

I am working on a karaoke project in LB/BB. Is there any type of scraper that can scrape mp3 music files I can get/use/modify?

I actually found them in an old backup if anyone needs them: for windows pocketcdg_libretro.dll for android libgame.libretro.pocketcdg.so

I am looking for an older RA core for playin CD+MP3 karaoke files. The core is PocketCDG. The current version has not worked for a while and is not working and I have reported on RA's Github. The actual name of the core file for Windows is "pocketcdg_libretro.dll". I found the android version from about 2 years ago and it's working on android, so I am hoping if I can find an older windows version and it will work. Thx in advance
