CriticalCid Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Amazing how fast you’ve added the consolidated ROMs feature. Thanks man, I really, really appreciate it! Unfortunately is the data corruption issue back again when your LaunchBox installation already had some platforms in it. Two things that I’ve noticed regarding the consolidation feature: 1. The region tag for additional apps isn’t imported correctly. It uses the value of the developer instead of the region. Just look at the last screenshot that you’ve posted for Captain Commando, it says Capcom instead of World. 2. The hack “Supercharger 1942” for the game 1942 has an empty name. It’s the only game that I’ve found so far with this issue so I don’t know if there are other hacks/clones which are affected like this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antropus Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 And that's how I implemented it so fast. It doesn't work! Amazing, isn't it? I'll look into this soon! As usual, thanks for really testing it, man. Very much appreciated! A fix should come soon. -Kris 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need someone to help you writing some not-working code, give me a call: I can write not-working code like a charm! Just dropped by to say I love your work and I hope to import my MAME set soon in LB! Thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quazl Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) I have a few questions: I keep my CHD's separate from my ROM files. How would I go about configuring the paths? I am a regular at the PD, but I am not aware of box backs, cart pics, or other software lists pics in Progetto's collection. What are everyone using for these? Will Lightspeed importer ignore my current imported list of Arcade games? ( I want it to actually) Thanks for all the work with this amazing tool! It also doesn't seem to work in 800x600 (My arcade cab CRT). I have tried using the display settings but it doesn't seem to change anything.

CriticalCid Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 And just found another huge bug. If you import the SoftwareLists with the latest Lightspeed beta you’ll get a sweet crash report from LaunchBox if you try to start it. This only happens for SoftWareLists games and it doesn't matter if you have the consolidate ROMs option checked or not (tested it). If you import Arcade only everything is fine.

This is related to the release date fix that happened in a previous beta, to address the "export" versions I believe. Funny that it just popped for you now. Although it looks ugly, this is minor fix, but I need to be able to track where the problem is first. I know it's a pain, but would you be able to zip your entire "data" folder and sent it to me? I will unzip on my folder to see what's breaking. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antropus Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I fixed the problem with the Region not being parsed and the "hack" info is now correct as well. I could not reproduce the other bugs, so I will really need to take a look at your files. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antropus Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 The date problem is happening with your Sega Genesis.xml only. Everything else looks fine. Looking into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Btw. this data folder only contained games/platforms which were imported by Lightspeed. Here's another data folder with games which were only imported directly through LaunchBox so that you can reproduce the data corruption issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antropus Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) Oh, that's good. Thanks! The game causing the date issue is called "Pier Solar and the Great Architects" and is for Sega Genesis. I will investigate why the date is not parsing correctly for it. Instead of showing a nonexistent month, which should be replaced with "01" for January, it shows the word "the" instead, causing the corruption Edited March 3, 2017 by Antropus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antropus Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 The date problem was isolated to "Pier Solar and the Great Architects" and is now fixed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neofuuma Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Awesome work with the bug squashing Antropus! I have not tried out beta5 just yet, but had a quick question with the consolidating the clones with the parents. Since I already have all of the parent sets imported, should I just be able to set Lightspeed to import only the clones, and it consolidate them? Or should I go ahead and re-import parents and clones together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerazz Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Awesome work so far but I'm having a problem. When I filter any game, the output is always empty. Am I missing something. Here are some screenshots of how I have Filtered the games. I have tried to filter only CPS1/2/3 games but I get no results. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frequently when a problem like this arises, the probability that it's related to the matching folders options is high, meaning that you might be missing artwork in a certain artwork folder and LS is forcing to match it, producing an empty list. Try to check off all checkboxes on the right column of your "options" tab and run the filters again. If a list is now visible, that means that a folder path is not informed correctly, has artwork wrongly named or not present at all. If that's the case, you can try checking those boxes on again, one by one, to see which one is causing it to fail. Try it out and let me know!

Antropus Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) Seems like you posted the filtersA snapshot twice. Can I see your filtersB as well? (if what I mentioned above doesn't work). Edited March 4, 2017 by Antropus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(if what I mentioned above doesn't work). Yes, my mistake. Here it is: Thanks a lot! Edit: It worked unchecking some of the artwork paths. but it corrupted some of my others xml files in the launchbox folder. I have the backups so i can change them.

rootshell Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) Is it possible to enable Windows scaling? You have to get really close to the screen if you have a resolution >1080p :-) When using the Updater to rebuild the DB via MAME -xml i get the following error: I have 32GB RAM.

Antropus Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Version: 0183_Beta6 Date: 3/4/2017 3:35amhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/0B23vaxsfSk1yRjlZYmI3cEk3VUE/view?usp=sharing Change Log: - Fixed the Crash happening during MAME.xml creation (out of memory) - Fixed a bug causing the consolidated clones ROM info to be duplicated when merging games into the library multiple times - Before modifying Launchbox's data folder, backups are now created automatically under the "launchbox\data\backups" folder, under a folder represented by date and hour of the backup. If something gets broken or corrupted, just refer to the folder containing the files before the corruption and you should be able to restore everything. - Fixed a bug with a very specific Genesis game that was causing date format corruption - Region is now correctly parsed for consolidated games I tried to reproduce the file corruption mentioned above by hammering my library, exporting with either merging or overwrite and I could not get the library to corrupt, but you never know. As usual, please test and report. Cheers, -Kris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
