haleksander Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I'm trying to remove a couple of games from my "favorites"-list but they won't leave! Mame-games. I haven't tried removing other games yet, so as of writing this, i'm not entirely sure if the problem exist across my entire collection yet. I tried doing it both in Bigbox and launchbox (waiting to see if either of them actually worked before trying the other ofc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 How is the playlist set up? Is it a manually populated or auto-populated one? How are you trying to delete the game from the list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haleksander Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 It is indeed an auto-populated playlist. I think i've been disabling "favorite"-toggle instead of "remove from playlist" as i understand it will reassign itself back if otherwise. I'll go check, just in case...

Retro808 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Verify what the auto-populate field requirement is and you have to edit that in the games you are deleting. I have mine set to Field Favorite = True. So in order to delete a game in Launchbox I just uncheck the favorites icon in the games detail. Pretty much what you say you are doing. If yours is set the same way I am not sure why it would not work. Unless maybe you have a second criteria listed? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haleksander Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 Resolved! It was indeed some auto-population settings that i messed up. Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haleksander Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) looks like i prematurely celebrated. The game won't budge. It looks like i can't do anything with the game. I tried unchecking the "favorite" via launchbox, deleting it via launchbox, deleting the actual file, scanning for removed roms, going in the arcade xml-file removing it, but it's still in my automated favorites-playlist! Other arcade games as well. I think the arcade xml-file still contains the games when i reopen the xml-files after removing them by editing the xml via wordpad. I'm outta ideas. Any others experiencing this? I also made sure that the files aren't "read only" if that could've been a thing.

haleksander Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 If i delete say, Tetris from my Gameboy Advance-collection, it stays deleted when reseting LB/BB. Perhaps the best way is just to delete arcade.xml and start over importing all the games? I had an Emumovies-account when i originally imported the arcade games, anything i should remember doing in order to not lose the gameplay videos if i choose to go through with deleting arcade list and reimport all of them?

haleksander Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 I think i fixed it now. I copied all the text from the xml and created a new arcade.xml-file via Windows explorer and replacing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
