NJDave71 Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Don't see that option in beta 10. As of this morning I did have an option to upgrade to 11 Quote

Coptimus Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Great update Jason. Thank you. I notice that some of my auto-generated playlists are empty or missing games. So I looked at the XML file to see what the ROM name is and looked for it in my MAME folder. The ROM is there. The next thing I did was go to the playlist and click "edit." You've included a tab that says "Games." When I look at that list, I think I understand why some games are missing. My platform is named "MAME." I did this for convenience with Rocket Launcher. The games that I'm missing are all in platform "ARCADE." I had thought using MAME or ARCADE didn't matter. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Quote

Robin55 Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 I also named Arcade to MAME for the sake of Rocketlauncher and a lot of the playlists are empty or missing loads of games. I tried editing the playlist with notepad++ to change "Arcade" to "Mame" but it made no difference. I think the Playlists are a great feature so I would like to get them working.... Quote

Robin55 Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) After deleting my Arcade library instead of just renaming it to MAME, and deleting all files I could find to do with Arcade and deleting the playlists then completely re-adding my MAME and adding it as MAME when selecting platform and not Arcade and then re importing the MAME library from scratch it appears that the playlists appear correctly, I can't be completely sure if ALL the games for the playlists are there but there is certainly more than before, Having said that I'm only halfway through importing a 8000 game MAME library but so far things are looking better. EDIT: Unfortunately this did not solve the problem, Yes I appear to have a few more games in my library but the playlists still list some games as arcade and they don't show up.

slimskinny Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) Seemed to work ok for me. I just re-imported everything I had In arcade and asked it not to replace any artwork/metadata it already had. :-) took about an hour and a half which isn't bad Edited March 12, 2017 by slimskinny typos Quote
NJDave71 Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 I had a Daphne platform and a second Daphne platform was created when I created an arcade playlist. I think some logic should be implemented to check if something exists to not overwrite without being prompted Quote
Napalm2016 Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) Hi Everyone On the latest Beta 11 Ive noticed on some of the playlists but not all the search bar doesnt work correctly when you scroll through the letters it doesnt switch to the selected letter as an example in the video I have selected Capcom Classics which has quite a few games has anyone else had this issue or just me? No biggy maybe this is a bug? It also continues to work when you get to U 2017-03-12 10-37-48.flv Edited March 12, 2017 by Napalm2016 Quote

I was worried because I don't use my MAME pack roms for Naomi. All you need to do is go to the playlist view in LaunchBox and delete the Daphne playlist. Then when you change your view back to platforms you will see the Daphne that you created manually. Quote
NJDave71 Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 The arcade playlist are great. I removed the Daphne playlist from the arcade since it was exactly the same as my existing list. Thx. 1 Quote
laprocket Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) After auto adding playlist, it made my intro video loop so show is a partial second time before going into bigbox. Once I deleted the playlist it went back to normal. Edited March 12, 2017 by laprocket Quote
