Stevie Mac Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 So with Launchbox 13.14 it's supposed to have fuzzy media but this still does not seem to be working with Amiga. I'm finding the most vids/snaps don't like what is at the end of each name After Burner_v1.0_Activision_0095 Won't work but After Burner-01 Will work Is this being looked at? or should it already be working with this new update? Does anyone have a set of Amiga snaps that are re-named to LaunchBox naming? Why does EMU movies not have a full set that works with LB? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onedevotee75 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 since LB 13.13 & 13.14 the folder selection screen for putting imported roms to does not appear anymore. As a workaround i have to go back two screens during an import and then the folder selection screeen appears. With LB 13.12 this didn´t happen.

I notice the difference between 13.13 and 13.14 Really appreciate returning closer to how it was matching in prior versions. I understand you all don't want it to be too loosey goosey, and keeping it too strict was annoying for some users, so I think this current implementation is a decent compromise between those two positions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you post a screenshot? Big Box code wasn't touched at all in this release so I see no reason you should be seeing ANY difference in that application in these versions compared to previous.

C-Beats Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Are you running a file sync application? That typically displays when saving the options and can be delayed by something locking the file we are trying to write to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w00master Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) Hey everyone - love the updates, but the latest update when using the "import rom" tool in Launchbox - skips the "move, copy, keep files where they are" step at the wizard step of "Would you like to download metadata for your games?" At this stage of the wizard, if you actually hit "BACK" instead of "NEXT" (like you usually do), you will get back that screen where it asks you about your roms "love, copy, keep where they are at" step. 100% a bug - hoping y'all get to it! (NOTE: Not sure why certain sections of my post are highlighted - didn't mean to do that! Sorry everyone!)

spycat Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 As someone who rarely uses the right sidebar, thanks for adding the 3D Box Model option to the game context menu. It would be nice to have it in the menu's root, but the key combo does the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I'll look into it but I believe the emulator I was using was MAME for Colecovision through rocketlauncher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colecovision (bluemsx_libetro) Actually shows it's missing system\databases\msxromdb.xml but I don't even use this for my coleco system. I use MAME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This site has a lot of high-quality and cool slot machines, and therefore I recommend this site for you to play, because this site is perfect. Same issue here. Its fixed now or how do you fix it?
