Tj19 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Since going into the new beta for launchbox I have been unable to add a new platform what so ever. If I create one for a know platform it claims to close off and add it however nothing is created, if I try again it states that a platform with the same name already exists. However as stated prior the platform list still doesn't show this, if anyone can help regarding this or a way to possible downgrade back to last stable release without losing my data that would be great. Thank you for any help you can provide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 If you go in to Tools -> Manage Platforms, the platform is not there at all? And yes, you can downgrade without fear. Download the latest stable from the site again, or go in to your LaunchBox/Updates folder. They've just recently started to be labeled, but only recently during the last betas. So it would be easier to grab the latest stable from the site again. Just double click the installer, and install it on top of your current LB directory.

Tj19 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Thank you for confirming, I have checked in tools, manage platforms and they are still not present. I will look at downgrading to see if this resolves my issue, Once again, thank you for the help and fast response! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Of course, no problem. Let me know if that fixes the issue. I'm also going to CC @Jason Carr just in case, but if this does fix it, we should post the issue in the beta thread or in the BitBucket. Edit: I also just created a new platform in the Manage Platform area though, and even after restarting it's still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 If i remember correctly new platforms won't show up until you add games to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 No they do. I just created an empty platform and it shows up. If an empty platform also wouldn't show up, how could you add games to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I thought that if you added a platform via the manage platforms under tools it didn't display in the left sidebar until there were games added? Then when you go to import the games you can choose to add them to the platform you previously created. Guess i'm wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tj19 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 That can be done as well however None have been working for me and since I entered the beta certain platforms that were working prior refuse to boot the game, even thought the game is linked and the emulator which work flawlessly and did only until it was updated for myself.

SentaiBrad Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Sure, that is true Neil, but I had them go in to Tools -> Manage Platforms and it's not there. On the left side bar that is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Well i am on the latest beta 10 and it works for me i just created a platform called TV Shows and it added no problem. I wonder if launchbox is having problems writing to the xml for some reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Potentially, but downgrading first and checking if it works again will tell us if it's a Beta problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Just now, SentaiBrad said: Potentially, but downgrading first and checking if it works again will tell us if it's a Beta problem. Yeah absolutely, was just thinking out loud. Should probably stop that lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tj19 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Yes I have downgraded now and this seems to be working to a degree, whilst I cant see the platform once its created on the side I can however Import the roms then they become visible. So in the mean time this will have to suffice since it beats the alternative of being unable to add anymore platforms, games whatsoever. Thanks again!

SentaiBrad Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 If the platform is empty, it wont appear on the left until you add games. When you go to Manage Platforms though, it should still appear there even when empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 @Tj19 Would you be willing to zip up and PM me your LaunchBox\Data folder? We're looking to release 7.10 tomorrow so if this is a real issue I really need to get it fixed as soon as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
