DOS76 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Hey I saw that there was a new beta out but when I went to grab it there was no prompt. I tried restarting the application 3 times and checking that I was indeed still signed up for the betas in options which I am but I can't seem to grab the latest beta.

I just tested on my side @DOS76 and I'm having the same problem here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOS76 Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 Shit I'm on 7.9 in my bedroom and 7.8 in my kitchen and neither will update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) I'm going to guess that since it isn't version specific it is a problem with the server they use to push the updates out. Its seems the homepage for the site is having issues also so I'm definitely going to say something server related.

NJDave71 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Still on Beta 10 here. Like to break my Arcade collection into playlist but do see anyway in Beta 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikeymikey Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Im not getting the update prompt either...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Maybe Jason pulled it for some reason? It was definitely there last night as I pulled it myself and used it to auto generate the arcade playlists.

Rincewind Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 The Games DB is down also which would point towards that server and if the updates come from there too then we're have wait until it comes alive again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to minimize the risk you should stick to the stable releases. I do not have any Daphne game to reproduce the issue you are reporting but I am sure, if it is reproducible, this issue will get sorted out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDave71 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 The new arcade playlist caused the issue. Daphne technically is laser disc arcade games. MAME never emulated this and now that it can today it requires a CHD which I don't have. So I removed Daphne from the playlist folder and retrieved and restore the old Daphne xml from the backup. Also their seemed to be server issues creating the perfect storm Splitting the arcade up was a great feature and worth exploring.
