C-Beats Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Thanks for the reports @Belmont. I was able to replicate and correct 2 of the 3 reported issues. I WAS able to expand a game that had been combined just fine and so that hasn't been touched at the moment. The other two issues should be resolved in the next beta release. Appreciate the assist! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belmont Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 You are correct - that third one was on me. I re-tested it and it's working. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faeran Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 Hi everyone, Beta 4 is out and this is another large update. This update introduces a brand new Dependency Files section within the Emulator window. We have it working for our supported emulators at the moment, which include RetroArch and PCSX2. Essentially, it's a page where you can find out information on potential dependency files (like bios files), so you are better informed as to why a particular platform may not be launching correctly. If we find that a dependency file might be required, and you try and play a game for that platform, you will get a prompt providing you with this information. If you have time to test this system out, that would be highly helpful to us. Changelog for Beta 4: New Feature: A new "Dependency Files" section is now available for supported emulators within their emulator window allowing you to more easily manage these essential files. Supported emulators include: RetroArch, PCSX2 New Feature: You will now receive a prompt, with potential solutions, when you try to play a game that requires missing dependency files Fixed: The version badge now displays correctly when combining two GOG games Fixed: A bug where images could incorrectly be linked to more than one game with similar names Fixed: The Amazon Games install flag now sets correctly on startup 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuiCogo Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 CHD files created with the new -createdvd are not been hashed for RetroAchievements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewClassics Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Is there any way to disable the dependency file notification when launching a game? For PPSSPP on Retroarch, it's saying I'm missing the file, even though it's in the correct spot, and pointing to the file doesn't seem to fix the issue.

If you open it in LaunchBox there is a "Do not show again" checkbox. Check that and hit play anyway and it'll stop displaying in both LB and BB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look in your data files do the games not have a hash assigned (would be listed as COULDNTFILEHASH) or do they just not have a RetroAchievements Id assigned? If you're unsure PM me the data file for the platform in question. I can't promise I can do much about it since that is all third party code, but would give me more information I need to reach out to third parties to ask for guidance. EDIT: Just looked and as of right now there hasher app doesn't actually support -createdvd CHDs so this may be a limitation of RetroAchievements at the moment.

bikeking8 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Please advertise the ability to search the Notes field in the Advanced Search info dropdown there, and anywhere else ("Notes:"). This may seem like like a small thing, but being able to search through hundreds of games by keywords in their description is incredibly helpful for users.

TheNewClassics Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Not sure if it's related to this beta or not, but has something changed with regards to associating Videos with game entries? I used to be able to download a trailer, rename it to the game entry name, put it in the Videos folder and it would link to the game entry automatically. Now regardless of the naming, the only way I'm managing it to associate is by going into the details and manually picking the video snap by browsing for the file.

Can you go to Manage Platforms and verify that platform's video folder wasn't accidentally changed? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erdybirdy53. Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Hi, I can confirm I have also had this issue on multiple platforms, where I have had to manually associate the videos by selecting the video snap. I have checked Manage Platforms and the video folders have not been changed. Again not sure if this beta ha caused it but it has only recently started happening. Thank you.

Can you provide the name of the game, it's application path, and the video filename? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewClassics Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 For me, I'll add several Windows games, and every single one will need to be associated by hand. Also, a lot of my TeknoParrot games no longer have the video playing, assuming because the association has been lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNewClassics Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Sure. Some of the console ones I noticed were Sonic the Hedgehog 2: Pink Edition for Genesis; (video file name just switches the : for - in all instances). Another was Star Wars: Battlefront II: Unofficial Update Mod for PS2. Third was Star Fox Adventures: Amethyst Edition for GCN. I can send application path as a follow-up.

The : (colon) in a games Title should be changed to _ (underscore) vs. a - (dash) for its videos and images.

erdybirdy53. Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 (edited) Ok thanks, is there an easy way to rename my Video Snap names to the Launchbox game or rom name please rather than doing each individually, as I have loads to do. I didnt seem to have this many missing videos in Launchbox before recent changes. Thank you for any help. Edited April 30 by erdybirdy53.

TheNewClassics Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Thanks for the info. Is that new? Because it worked before for several years for me with the dash. But good to know if that's the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
