Baggio Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 So i have a question regarding my missing images. I ran an image cleanup and have way too many files that I'd have to rename that it's not finding now due to the new matching. So going off my last post the previous version found all these images fine so would I break anything if I ran the 13.12 Setup.exe (I don't have 13.13 for some reason) overwriting 13.14, then ran the Image Renamer Plugin to change the files to the games titles and then reinstall 13.14? Alternatively, should i just wait for the next beta if you are adding the 3rd step @faeran mentioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make a backup of your Images and Videos folders first in case it doesn't work out as expected. I think worst case, the rename tool might not recognize some of the media names that are too "fuzzy" and would just leave them as-is.

Give it a try if you'd like. If you run into any issues let me know in the comments section of that file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 @superrob3000 wow thanks, I'll give it a go asap Just to give the devs an idea on what this new name matching has done on some platforms I randomly tried. So this is missing media I got from the cleanup tool in 13.12 and then 13.14 Platform - 13.12 - 13.14 NDS - 2 - 58 NES - 0 - 248 GBA - 0 - 37 Wii -13 - 495 Megadrive - 0 - 54 PS1 - 1 - 56 PS2 - 3 - 1311 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Just an update @superrob3000 plugin worked flawlessly and now all the files not matching on 13.14 now all get picked up. Note to self, start naming all files after the game title 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIKAS1 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 (edited) Hey everyone! Is there an option to change the folder where launchbox looks for dependencies? For example my retroarch system folder isn't in the retroarch folder in my computer but launchbox keeps looking there and tells me I'm missing dependencies... Thanks in advance for any help and sorry if I missed anything! Edited May 25 by GIKAS1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Papaw Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 So I have spent 2 days re-installing Launchbox and RetroArch to fix black screens. I can see the end, almost... How do I get this to work? If I select "Open Location" it is going to ...\system\pcsx2. If I select "Browse to File", it does go to the correct folder, but won't allow me to choose a bios file. The files are there, LB isn't let me select a folder or a file. The games work fine if I select "Play Anyway". Something is broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something is broken I believe it is being looked into as an issue with the new dependencies feature and PCSX2 core for RA. Cbeats commented on a post about it that he was going to look into the code as he was not aware of that core for RA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked mine and all seems well. The name matching changes should only really be an issue for files that have not been imported via the built-in scraper.

It's some I made myself and a mis-match of packs I curated, so they weren't scraped from LB. Mainly it was all the games with special characters that weren't being picked up because of the lack of the _ conversion and when you have 4-5 per game they soon add up.

But doesn't make sense to me as this is a 100% fresh build trying to figure out some black screen issues that I had posted about in the Troubleshooting thread. It did have a double entry though.
