DOS76 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Hey everyone I am having a slight issue with Launchbox. I started adding metadata to all of the GBA roms I have that didn't originally get any when I added Game Boy Advance to Launchbox and after editing the first game it told me I had to add a emulator when I tried to click ok to finish the edit. I did so but couldn't for the life of me recall having to ever do so before. Then it happened with the next game I edited and then the next so I hit control A and then went into the bulk editor and changed the emulator to VBA (which it should have already been) then the next game let me edit so I thought great issue fixed then the next game told me I needed to choose an emulator. So I then went into tools and went to manage emulators edit VBA saw that VBA is default for GB GBC and GBA. So now I'm confused if I click on any of the games that already have metadata then it launches VBA but the ones without any meta don't have any emulator set even though I specified VBA when I added the folder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Emulator window, under VBA. The names of the Platforms its default for is the same exact name as what you specified the platform as right? Or... the name under the Emulator window is the same as the name in your left panel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 To add more to this I just noticed when I originally go to edit a game if I go to emulator first VBA is already set but when I link it to the DB the emulator field gets cleared.

That would have to be the bug then. Edit the games, grab the info then bulk edit back in VBA afterwards? It's dumb to have to do that but until the big gets fixed by Jason...

Jason Carr Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Odd. Could be a bug introduced with all the platforms changes, I suppose. Are you able to replicate it with a new install? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 After finishing the GBA roms I moved on to GBC and I couldn't get it to happen with GBC games. I don't know if it matters but I am also using the last Stable version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Ah, okay. So it's not a glitch with the latest. Not sure; I can't seem to replicate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 Just upgraded to the Beta must say I am really impressed with BigBox. It looks great on the 55 inch Samsung in my bedroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Great to hear Derek. I'm excited to put it in a game cabinet. I'm saving up...hoping that by Christmas I'll have the funds I need to build one for myself. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 I badly want one too but space is my biggest problem. I thought about building a bar-top but it just wouldn't be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Yeah, I'm not exactly swimming in space, but I can't resist. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddoc1007 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 @Jason here is a lovely instructable that make a lovely arcade machine http://www.instructables.com/id/A-Super-Easy-Arcade-Machine-from-1-Sheet-of-Plywoo/?&sort=ACTIVE&limit=40&offset=80#DISCUSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Very cool, Martin. Unfortunately my building skills are absolutely terrible (I blame it on all the time I spend coding), so I think I'm going to get a kit from Rec Room Masters. :) http://www.recroommasters.com/32_Pro_Upright_Xtension_Arcade_Cabinet_Emulator_p/rm-xt-32-pro-ee.htm But it's expensive...hence why I'm saving up.

Jason Carr Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 That is awesome. You really do need to document the build. Or at least give us pictures along the way. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
