Hey there, you can always drag 'n drop the image onto the edit window>Media>Images and choose the appropriate image type from the tab above, it will automatically named and placed in the correct folder. See below: Just make sure the filename is .png to take advantage of any transparency in the image or.jpg for plain images. Hope that helps some more. 🙂

Hey @skizzosjt, a bit late but now that I am in front of a proper keyboard just wanna say thanks, this makes sense. 😅

Is anyone experience this phenomenon when using\navigating with the controller? See images below: This is always happening only when using the controller. The theme I use is the standard 'Default' theme with some minor changes but in the "Game Details". This is not a 13.27 version only issue because I had this issue before. 🤔

So that's why the "Sort Title" in one of my Platforms keeps deleted! In fact I believe Its the only one that has a 'Sort Title' field because I need that platform to always be on-top/at beginning of the list and i try to put a (one digit) number in it after using the plug-in the number becomes a "random" 6 digit one. 🤓 Yes confirming, its immediate.😉 I'll try to remember that. 😀

Hey there again, is it possible/easy for the plug-in to show the current "Sort by..." state? I mean that every time I open the plug-in window the "Sort by..." bullet is on the "... by Title (default)" state and it is a bit confusing when it is not obvious by looking at the list itself especially when you are viewing the "Platforms Category". Please don't get me wrong for seeming spoiled and asking for too much, it's not as difficult as it is right now, but I'm thinking of just a "perhaps" to-do in the future.😁😅 Anyway, thanks again. 😄

Wow, JoeViking245 you nailed it (again) man. 😃 You are awesome. Thank you for the time and effort... Yes, it was my request, I was building a setup based on the "The History of Video Games" and I came across this small but important (at least for what I want to do) thing that is missing from the LaunchBox shorting filters. I really hope others will find it useful. 😄 Once more a HUGE THANK YOU! Edit: This plug-in even works under the "Platform Category" listing and it does not "break" the Categories being made... super cool! 😎

Hey there, just wanted to share/post my (temporary) solution for those pesky empty folders created until something new comes from the dev team. It is a simple batch file I've put together (from merging "code" around the NET) and placed in the LaunchBox directory which removes ALL the empty folders from the directory recursively Reference script below: @echo off title Delete all empty folders in the directory 'Tree' echo [91mDO NOT[0m close this window, echo [96mDeleting empty Folders[0m in [[93m%~dp0[0m] and its sub-directories ^ except [[93m%~dp0Games[0m]^ ... ::Deleting all empty folders in the directory "tree" for /f "delims=" %%d in ('dir /s /b /ad ^| sort /r') do ^ if not "%%~nd"=="Games" ^ rd "%%d" 2>nul exit Delete all empty folders in the directory tree (for LB).zip *Note that I have a line in there for exceptions of folders that you may need to keep. **Make sure you right-click properties of the .bat and click the "Allow" check-box Of course the downside is that you just have to click it every time you end the session or maybe incorporate it into another "LauncBox Launcher.bat" batch script as below @echo off title LaunchBox Launcher if not DEFINED IS_MINIMIZED set IS_MINIMIZED=1 && start "" /min "%~dpnx0" %* && exit start "" /wait LaunchBox.exe start /min "_Delete all empty folders in the directory tree (for LB).bat" ::The /min flag above starts the bat minimized (remove if needed) exit to launch it automatically when LaunchBox quits BUT helps a lot when doing a back-up and declutter when searching! I really hope there will be a more permanent solution from the devs to disable the feature when needed. Although as @Retro808 said -here- : and @C-Beats also: those folders seem to have a purpose. You may use the file at your own risk (maybe test it first in a temporary directory) although I've been using this forever and never had a single problem. Of course, as always, feel free to modify and share. 😀

+1 At least for the DEC PDP series, and the Plato systems. Τhe rest are unknown to me, but it seems that all this might be a great addition to the Database. #PreservingComputerHistory. 😀

@ci2own & @spycat Wow! 😲 You are guys are amazing... Thank you so much! 😃 Save me so much time and hassle with your work! 🤗

Hello, very nice 😲 SL collection you have there! And thank you for posting all of your setup here. In case anyone needs more command-line info for the Apple computers here is my (small) MAME cmds: Again.. Thanks a lot 😄

Yes, and in it should be the customized options you had set-up from the Sega Genesis TV.opt file, the problem now is that those Genesis Plus GX.opt options are going to be used every time you use RetroArch... unless they are automatically removed each time somehow to be recreated again once with the standard settings (without the appended .cfg) once with the customized ones (using LaunchBox) or get overridden with a {Game_Name}.opt or a {Directory_Name}.opt file but either that will also be used every single time.🤔 I can see now that this might lead to a dead end because you wanted to use that Sega Genesis TV.opt file just like you use an additional .cfg (with -c command) but apparently it doesn't work that way. 😞

Hey, look what I found as I was trying to reproduce your setup with Mega Drive/Genesis games!: I've added the core_options_path = ":\config\Genesis Plus GX\CUSTOM OPTIONS.opt" to my own appended config file (which already works) [with --appendconfig config\For_LaunchBox.cfg] which was just a copy of the original (Genesis Plus GX.opt) with a minor visual only change genesis_plus_gx_overscan = "disabled" changed to genesis_plus_gx_overscan = "top/bottom" so that I could see the effect immediately. As long as the default Genesis Plus GX.opt file (with overscan = "disabled") is present, RetroArch is loading that file as the last options override BUT when I removed\renamed that default file then it reads the "CUSTOM OPTIONS.opt" from the appended cfg and saves\creates a new options Genesis Plus GX.opt but with the new\changed option genesis_plus_gx_overscan = "top/bottom" line in there! Edit: Perhaps you already know but as it says -here- the hierarchy for loading config files (which looks like is also applying to option files as well) is: First {Game_Name}.opt then {Directory_Name}.opt then {Core_Name}.opt then {Override_Custom_Options}.opt but saved as {Core_Name}.opt if the last is not present to be loaded automatically in the first place. So that is why : Question: What does the Sega Genesis TV stands for? Is it your Games directory name or just a file name you choose same name as the cfg you use?

I would also like to express my respect and say that it is a bit sad to see such a long-time and distinguished member have to say goodbye... (even if only for a while).😢 I wish you the best in whatever you decide to focus on and I hope that the "... for now" part will be relatively short, because the community really needs members like you. Huge thanks. 🫡

@crusadeRGP Check your command-line argument, with the --appendconfig you are pointing to the 'Sega Genesis TV.opt' you suppose to point it to straight to the 'Sega Genesis TV.cfg.' Remember 'Sega Genesis TV.cfg' is an 'appended' configuration so every line in there is replacing the equivalent line in the standard Retroarch.cfg but everything else is staying the same, that said you might not need the -c "config..." part at all if you use it only with these three changes/lines. This is how I use the --appendconfig function myself: This way I can use the standard Retroach.cfg along side the For_LaunchBox.cfg to change some settings only when using it via LaunchBox. Edit: In the standard retroarch.cfg file this specific line looks like this by default (core_options_path = "") so that RetroArch can use the auto-override set by Core/Folder/Game_Name. By appending yours [--appendconfig "...Sega Genesis TV.cfg"] this line (in red) is "replaced" temporarily by the new one core_options_path = ":\...\Sega Genesis TV.opt". Long story short you are just appending the Sega Genesis TV.cfg for the changes so that the .cfg points to the specified .opt file. Hope that this helps a bit more... 🙂
