Lordmonkus Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Have you tried reinstalling video drivers and direct x as well as the Visual C++ runtimes ? There have been people who have reported these things can fix tings with the Creators Update. Keep in mind that the CU is still not an officially available update yet, it is still a beta and I just read last night that it is going into a big bug squash phase so hopefully that will fix some issues with it.

Yes, I've done all of this. (I'm a PC technician by trade), but nothing is working sadly....the CU update was forced on me as an official update actually, so didn't fight it when it started scheduling the install automatically...I certainly didn't sign up for a beta version of Windows...YIKES...I know better than that... Hopefully, something gets done to fix it, so I can enjoy my collection and continue to refer others to LB. Thanks for the response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Yeah, I fortunately have not been forced into a Creators Update yet but I know that day is coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleverest Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I'm going to try a fresh install of launchbox as a final attempt to fix this; hate losing my favorites though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Just to clarify CU is an official update the bug fix bash is for the cleverly name Fall Creator Update which is currently running on Insider Preview PC's like the one I'm typing this on.

Tommy1981 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Can you guys add a button on the games missing box art to download individual box art? Maybe by the refresh button. This would help out alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lessthanzero33 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I am not sure if this has been asked but how about a rom downloader option?, sorry if this has been asked already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 This won't be done due to legal issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its still a grey area and the creators of launchbox cant take any chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much anyone would love this built into a front end it would never be possible. To many legal issues and emulation is already frowned upon in many areas, although getting better. There are tons of options to download roms from websites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lessthanzero33 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 It has been built into a front end which is called "RomFlix" i was just hoping it could be done with BB because it would be the Front End to end all front ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Yes, of course it is possible to do but it won't be done for Launchbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lessthanzero33 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Thanks lordmonkus for your reply. I was just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 You could even do it yourself if you know how to code up a plugin for it, you could pull roms from the archive. But don't expect it to be hosted here on this site, it would be a major legal liability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natemac00 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Would it be possible to add the ROM filename to the list view? I'd like be able to search by ROM filename some time when i'm not sure it was imported correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleverest Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Perhaps a video on how to search for GENRE/TYPE of games in the regular (non-bigbox) view in Launchbox...sometimes I want to just see RPGS, or Platform games across one or more platforms..takes too long to get there in BigBox...

harryoke Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 BigBox online features , game streaming , friends requests , groups , emulator multiplayer ,voicechat whilst playing, tournaments ... might as well think BIG , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the reply should be "lessthanzero" chance. Haha. Oops, I laughed at my own joke there. That "RomFlix" image you mention is free so is not likely to be pursued by the Authorities, whereas LaunchBox is a commercial program and the Authorities would probably crash on it like a ton of bricks if such a feature was added. That's how I see it, which is just conjecture of course. Edited September 16, 2017 by JamesBond@ge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 the joke was good for a chuckle. I appreciate word play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
