locutis Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Hi, I see many posts but the solution doest work for me. I want to change the default version of a Mame game that launches by default because I will use an arcade cabinet. 1. Search for Karnov 2. Right click -> Edit Metadata 3. Under alternative apps I locate the version I'm looking for karnovj and click make default. 4. Save When I click the games Icon, the old default loads? I eventually deleted the other app lines but when I edit the game again all three of the original apps are still present. I've edited and resorted incase the DB needs to reload still not working. Strange... Brett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Sounds like you may have have a backup data file in your data folder that is getting in the way of your change saving/loading correctly. What does the contents of your \\LaunchBox\Data\Platforms look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locutis Posted August 8, 2023 Author Share Posted August 8, 2023 Ok ignore, I worked it out. Posting incase anyone else stumbles on this. I usually use bigbox so I am unfamiliar with lunchbox or its DB structure. I was searching for a game in a playlist and then editing it. The edit was being applied to the platform not the playlist. Changing to the platform view the correct version launches which will work fine for me in box box. I don't know if this is a bug or a feature.

locutis Posted August 8, 2023 Author Share Posted August 8, 2023 Hi C-Beats, For reference, just Arcade.xml. I assume that this is normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
