SentaiBrad Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 There is a RAM Cache in the option that you can raise and lower, if that's what you mean.
Jason Carr Posted July 10, 2016 Author Posted July 10, 2016 Hi all, a new beta is out, which should hopefully be the final beta before the official release tomorrow morning. I managed to fix forcing the MAME data for non-MAME platforms. Ultimately the issue was that we were always restricting the imported games to games that were playable in MAME, so if you imported Sega Model 2, for example, very few of the games would work in MAME so they weren't imported. Here are some related things to keep in mind: - If you're forcing MAME metadata for a non-MAME platform on import, be sure the option to "skip games unplayable in MAME" is unchecked, for obvious reasons - The new "Scrape As" feature has nothing to do with MAME imports. The way the MAME import process works is that it checks for "MAME" as the emulator; it doesn't care what the name of the platform is. The force MAME check box is how you override this, of course. "Scrape As" only applies when downloading metadata and images from the LaunchBox Games Database and/or EmuMovies. Thanks all, holler if you find something glaring before the release tomorrow. :)

With the new beta nothing has changed for me... I still get no results for downloading images from the database. I don't see the "force MAME" option you mentioned anywhere in the dialog for downloading images. Am I missing something?
Jason Carr Posted July 11, 2016 Author Posted July 11, 2016 Hi @Drybonz, the new Scrape As feature is available under Tools > Manage Platforms. That's where you set the Scrape As value in order to download media.
Nyny77 Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 bundangdon said With the latest beta, the 'coverflow' view is much better now, being smoother with even the 3d boxes looking more accurate than before However, I've noticed one small but very obvious problem. In 'coverflow' view, when you select and play a game, and then return to the games menu, it always brings you back to the beginning of the list. However, it doesn't do this with the other selectable views, which bring you back to the original game which was selected. (not the beginning of the list) I wasn't sure if this was ever mentioned or noticed before, but when you have a very large collection of games, it can be rather annoying to have to start from the beginning of the list again when you return to the games menu. That's true !!! Thank you !

Drybonz Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 It would also be good if LB recognized the art based on it's rom name, since that is the way most stuff is named in the MAME world. If I drop in a set of art files named after the rom file name (as most are) it isn't recognized.
Jason Carr Posted July 11, 2016 Author Posted July 11, 2016 Drybonz, it should be recognized and be used just fine. Using the ROM file name for media has worked for a long time. Sure you put it in the right folder?
SentaiBrad Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 You might also need to refresh your cache if you supplied the media too.
Drybonz Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 SentaiBrad said You might also need to refresh your cache if you supplied the media too. Brad, you were absolutely right... when the images weren't showing up I jumped the gun and thought it was related to the other problem. My apologies and thanks for the help.
SentaiBrad Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 That's ok. LaunchBox just automatically refreshes the cache after you've downloaded a bunch of media so it's hard to know that when you supply it you also have to refresh your cache.
SentaiBrad Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 The official 6.3 is out, if users could update and let us know if you get an error we would appreciate it.
spycat Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Just updated to the official 6.3. and it downloaded and installed just fine.
Rincewind Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Installed fine , I did notice that in bigbox if you use the page up and page down the wheel images do something weird
SentaiBrad Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Was anyone updating from Beta to Release? Or did anyone who said it updated fine update from 6.2 to 6.3? We had a bug report, and we're hoping it's not more widespread, but may be localized to 6.2 -> 6.3 upgrades.
