alnyden Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I'm having a strange issue here. I have a platform with games listed that don't have working roms. So, I'm deleting the games in LB and re-importing the correct roms. In doing so, the games list goes from about 900 to 500 and afterwards everything looks correct. However, when I quit LB and start again, all 900 games are back in the platform. It's happened twice now, as if the database is not saving. I've done the same procedure with other platforms but this hasn't happened. Any idea what could be going wrong? Thanks, R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alnyden Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 To add to this, I've now tried deleting the platform entirely. Seems to work fine. But when I close LB and re-open, it's back. Again, it's not happening with any other platform. Help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 That seems odd. It sounds like the platform XML isn't saving. Without re-importing games, delete the games then restart LB. Are they still there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alnyden Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 Yes, if I delete the games and restart LB, they all come back. I tried deleting the entire platform and even that would come back on next launch. Weirdly when I right-clicked the platform name it says "that platform does not exist." But after a few clicks it stops saying that. So I can't find any way to get rid of the roms or the platform. Would it be helpful to edit the XML or delete the XML for that platform?

SentaiBrad Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Deleting it would more than likely help at this point. Where is your LB install located? Do you have write permissions? If you let it stick to the default location of the C drive, a lot of people's machines for various reasons don't give proper permissions. You could try running LaunchBox in admin mode, but just as a test. If you leave it in admin mode, it could cause more issues down the line. If that does fix it, moving LB to a different drive and making sure you have permissions over that folder might be the solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alnyden Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 Deleting the XML did the trick! Weirdly, there was a copy of the .xml file in the folder. Not sure why it was there, but maybe it was preventing the xml from saving? Anyway, thanks for your help. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Of course, no problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
