LaunchBox 13.15 - Beta Thread


faeran

Recommended Posts

Since 13.15 Turbografx16 games doesn't load with beetle-pce and beetle-pce-fast cores (no error, it just does nothing). When I start those games directly from retroarch it works flawlessly.

In 13.14 it was ok. Maybe somethingto do with the new command line variables for the romnames//extensions? The default Commandline in the LB Options for that emulator is completly untouched on my side (just -f is set).

Deleted the RA config/shaderconfig files for the cores - same result.

I don't know if it's done on purpose or if it's always worked that way, but in field "Publishers", even though there are several names in the database, only shows one of them.

For example, for game: https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/388340

Not related to beta. Was an issue on the web database side of things that has been resolved. You will have to force update your games database to see the new data.

Question: When i force the metadata update will it overwrite the name/title field of the games as well?

If you tell it to. If you want to just update that one field then use bulk edit to clear it on all the games and then select the "don't overwrite" option

I've never thought about that, lol. Thanks for the answer.

Ok, I didn't know if it was related to the beta or not. When I updated the database, all companies appeared correctly. Thanks!!! ☺️

Excited for the ScummVM import, but it's not importing a large amount of games that are playable by loading straight in the emulator. My game folders are under /Games/ScummVM, my ScummVM installation is the one downloaded from LB under /ThirdParty/ScummVM and it's updated (but it doesn't load games launched from the LB app, games need to be run in ScummVM itself), and I've done a mass add in ScummVM to ensure everything is "loaded". I've used "Add Folder" import to add the /Games/ScummVM folder and chose to scan subdirectories, force importing dupes, and using folder name for game name but it still leaves a bunch out. Here's the games that are not imported each time:

Kind of curious how you were setting some things up. It kind of sounds like you may have some user config issues, but it's unclear where. Are you able to send me a PM with your Data files, I'll dig around them.

@faeran Can Sega MSU-MD be looked at for this update I've found the importer will not find the correct game file extension which is .md but will add .cue which will not load the game

Never heard of MSU-MD, can you send me a PM with information about it.

Retroachievements profile now requires verification.

Yeah, RetroAchievements changed this sometime late last year to help with all the issues they were having for most of 2023. This, unfortunately, ended up being the unintended side-effect to their change.

Beta 4 is now out with the following changes:

  • New Feature: Added support for automatic import of Vita3k games that have been added into its virtual hard drive, when the Vita3k emulator is added into LaunchBox and the Automatic Import of ROMs is enabled
  • New Feature: Added support for automatic import of RPCS3 games that have been added into its virtual hard drive, when the RPCS3 emulator is added into LaunchBox and the Automatic Import of ROMs is enabled
  • Improvement: RAHasher has been updated to the latest version, which improves the hashing of PSP games that are in CHD format

 

For Vita3k testers: the way the emulator works is that all games need to be added into the emulator and onto its virtual hard drive before you can play the game. If you add Vita3k as an emulator into LaunchBox (there should now be a Vita3k emulator profile to choose from the dropdown which comes pre-loaded with the right settings. If you don't see it, you may need to run Tools > Download > Force Update Games Database Metadata...) and you have our auto-import process enabled, you should be able to start up LaunchBox and see your games be imported.

From there, you can test the scan for added and removed ROMs functionality. If you add or remove a game from Vita3k's virtual hard drive, then run the Scan for Added/Removed ROMs feature, you should be prompted to add/remove the game from LaunchBox.

The same also goes for RPCS3 for people willing to test.

Thanks everyone.

UPDATE #2

This is the error in the box:

Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service. : 'P:\Roms\dev_hdd0\game\BCES01118\USRDIR\built\sound\bank\52b66ec0'  ----not sure why LB would be looking for roms in that particular folder??? o.O 

And of course turning off the Auto Import stopped the crash

My PS3 roms are using the Virtual system to a mapped drive as you can see above.

I am continuously getting this if I open LB and let LB sit idol after a couple minutes. Not happening in BB,

UPDATE: Added log file

Debug 2024-06-20 03-02-19 AM.log

BTW - I still get the black screens that I reported in v13.14 using the last 3 Nvidea drivers on 3 different GTX cards.

Beta 5 is out with the following changes:

  • Improvement: Our Dependency Files feature will now automatically detect your system directory by reading your RetroArch configuration file
  • Improvement: Optimized emulator file extension priorities to help with MSU systems (This is not 100% complete for this release. More work will go into this one before final release)
  • Fixed: Resolved an issue where Big Box could remain the topmost window unexpectedly
  • Fixed: We will now globally enable overlays within your RetroArch configuration file when you choose to download bezels through LaunchBox

Black screen issues I have been having introduced in 13.13 and Nvidea drivers above version 551.61 are Startup Theme related. Even default LB causes the issue. Turn them off and games using RA and bezels I'm using work fine.

  • Beta 5  shows a popup on every start "Update for one of your Plugins available".
  • When i enter the plugin manager it shows no plugins at all 

PS Still can't start any beetle-pce/beetle-pce-fast games, starting in RetroArch directly works (see my post from a few days ago) Is it just on my machine? Can anybody please confirm/deny?

Having this same issue. Every time I start up Launchbox, it keeps telling me there's an "Update for one of your plugins" and then shows nothing in the plugin manager

Showing the same as others. I've updated to 13.15 beta 5 from 13.14. When Launchbox starts it says I have plugins to update but there are no plugins listed in the Plugin Manager. I've also noticed that there is an issue where opening Launchbox too quickly after closing it will cause the window that states there is an instance running already is behind the startup/loading bar window so you can't actually read the window with the message.
