Gadget Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 After upgrading to 11.9 I am no longer able to add emulated games. Using the gui as always, and adding the rom-file along with the emulator. In the end there are no files to import on the list. The list is empty. Is that a new issue, or am I missing something?

Gadget Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 Its related to DirectX. Installed previous version - worked. Then upgraded, and it's not working anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhill10255 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Also unable to import ANY roms under 11.9 that I was previously able to import. I have not changed anything in my process...just stopped working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhill10255 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Anyone else getting this error when trying to import roms under 11.9? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Whats the full error, a partial error isnt really much help. It looks like its saying it cant read the metadata file in the Launchbox folder, is that correct? If so close Launchbox and go and delete that file, then try again.

mhill10255 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Just figured it out. Had to go under Help>Force Update Games Database Metadata and now it works. Maybe the file got corrupted. Now working!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiorell Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) @Gadget: If you are importing ROMs for MAMEUI64, you might have the same problem which I already reported as an error. The "Ready to Import" panel is always empty. Other MAME implementations seem to work. It seems that Launchbox is calling the MAME emulator to gather some additional information, and the call to MAMEUI64 fails. I hope this will be fixed by Launchbox (or MAMEUI64), because this is currently my favorite MAME implementation.

Kaschperl Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I have the same problem. I can't import any Magnavox Odyssey2 games any more - I use MAME64 0.186 for this platform. The list of games to import is always empty, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paultimate Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) I've already Help>Force Update Games Database Metadata I've already fully deleted this file I've already tried importing with the duplicate option. I've already deleted everything to do with the platform im trying to import (CD-i) I've already used a known-working LB data backup set Importing this exact file worked fine literally 9 hours ago before LB force-installed 11.9 (it tried to do this several time and i force-quit it before it could, this time it got through the install process). Everytime in 11.8 this window would show the files im importing. Everytime i would delete the game from LB as I was testing things and import again. 11.8 would continue to show the file to be imported, and i did this 4-6 times. 11.9 gets installed? window is now blank? Is this user error here? Can we get this fixed? Can we have an option to NOT force-install updates even if an update exists in the "Updates" folder?
