AndrewSpec Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I've updated to the final 13.12 version and automatic ROM import is a joke. As you can see on the screenshot it imported mp4 files and xml files. What ROM from what platform uses that extensions? It should ignore that. My ROM directory is shared between LaunchBox and Retrobat and EmulationStation scraper uses ROM directory to store game multimedia.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Papaw Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) @AndrewSpec I had a somewhat similar issue earlier on in the beta, it was my xaml files causing it. After that was corrected it works awesome, I LOVE IT! Now we just need Auto Remove and Auto Cleanup (with user confirmation first, of course) Just curious, I notice you have a "gamelist.xml" file for the platforms shown in the screenshot. not sure about them, but might they be something to look at? Not sure what you are using them for, but might be something Edited March 12 by The Papaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those files are created by EmulationStation to store game lists and game multimedia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrogamer4423 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Merhaba. İsteğim launchbox'la ilgili. Launchbox ekranında bir platform seçtiğimde sağ tarafta platform detaylarını görebiliyorum. Bu alanda platform görseli, toplam oyun sayısı, en çok oynanan oyunlar gibi çeşitli bilgiler bulunmaktadır. Ancak üstteki hepsi seçeneğini seçtiğimde sağ taraftaki bilgi ekranı boş çıkıyor. Tüm platformlar alanına launchbox'ın kendi logosunu veya güncel duyuru, bilgi ekranı gibi bir alan koyabilir miyiz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The theme can potentially put something there if they wanted. My theme Omni just changes the background when you don't have an individual item selected, but really could make it show whatever you wanted. There isn't anyway to do that just via options though unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but why not set a whitelist (could be acessible through Platform menu) for allowed extensions for each platform during automatic import? Then you could whitelist what you actually want imported (example .smd and .bin for genesis, .cue or .chd only for playstation etc) EDIT: I just realized I suggested this years ago but never got around to submit it in bitbucket Edited March 12 by Reaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of that when I was manually importing ROMs I was adding only specific files and not the whole directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe35car Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 This is messed up. I went to my backup folder and grabbed an earlier one. When I start LB it has a total of 83567 games. Which is about right last I checked. Then we I close and open again it changes to 83589. Did it again and changed to 83582. I don't have the automatic import checked so why is it keep changing the number of my games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe35car Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Keeps fucking changing the amount of games every time I close and reopen LB. Thank god I have the data folder backed up on my other drive. Will go back to Feb 2024. You need to fix this on next update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible LB is reading an extra platform xaml that might be in your \Data folder. Did you notice if the change in numbers might have been being altered for a specific platform or did you only look at the total # changing? Inside your \Launchbox\Data folder do you have any extra platform xaml files in there that might share the same name as a platform. Such as backups of xaml files or extra copies? Even if they are slightly renamed LB will try to rename them and cause a similar issue. 5 hours ago, Joe35car said: Keeps fucking changing the amount of games every time I close and reopen LB.

However, cussing and demanding will not do things any good at least with resect to us listening to you and continuing to offer assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagaopc Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 After update to new stable version of launchbox: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe35car Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) Sorry about ranting and raving but when I put many hours in this frontend and stuff like this happens I get a little frustrated. It looks like I got it sorted out. I always have backup disk when my set is so huge I don't feel like dealing with a corrupt HDD like in the past. I opened and closed LB several times and it is now showing the 83781 games list all the time so it's back to normal. Just have to tweak a few things.

sushko Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Can you just add a shortcut to the Dir? This would be very useful for someone who has more than one drive. If not how can you request it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Papaw Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) I ran into an issue yesterday concerning the Auto Import feature and games with RPCS3 I thought I would pass along to the Team. By default, RPCS3 uses ..\dev_hdd0\game for installed pkg games. A few months back, one of the RPCS3 updates had added a new way to add disc based versions; ..\games, not within the hdd0 folder. There was even an included txt file in the folder named "Disc Games Can Be Put Here For Automatic Detection.txt". This folder isn't included in the Auto Import. Maybe this folder can be added?? Here is what log shows using the older way (orange text) Edited March 19 by The Papaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrogamer4423 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 It would be nice if we could select the import as a platform. For example, import Play Station 3 system games but not NES games. Would that be possible. Because emulators of some systems are tricky and confusing. Adding games is not practical because it takes time. But some systems are very easy and simple to import, so it is possible to do it manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't that be the Scan > platform name > Added Roms, if so, that's already in LB. You just do it manually from the Tools menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eonder87 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) @The Papaw He might be saying a different thing. He wants to say if Launchbox or BigBox automatically imports platforms that can be selectable like storefronts. want to auto-import option for PlayStation 3 but not want to auto-import for Nintendo Entertainment System for example.
