LaunchBox 13.25 Beta Thread

[Isoku]

I have trouble with merging games (different regions). I have a fresh setup with the beta (btw. happens with 1.24 too) and when i import for example my snes library with the option to merge games of different regions and versions, the importer have trouble to recognize which version to pick.

The importer prioritise beta over release, thats strange. My last import for my main install is some versions earlier but there it works flawless. Its a pain to correct hundreds of games to pick the right version. See the default version on the right side in the details.

My solution to that issue has always been to physically remove the files I don't want from the ROM folder.  

I have a separate folder with alternative rom versions for archival purposes (who is going to care about this when I'm gone?   I have no idea...   but I still keep the things).  Basically, one folder for the "cabinet" set, then another for the "archive" set.

Hello everyone! First of all, I want to thank you for all the updates, features and improvements that you've implemented to LaunchBox all these years. I've been a LaunchBox user for half a decade now and is still my frontend of choice. Nevertheless, and I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, there has been a bug since v13.19 that has made me unable to update and has to do with LB archive extractor. Long story short, if you extract any zipped game that is less than 100mb while having startup screens enabled, LB creates a second instance once you launch the game, and even if you shut down LB completely, the program stays open in the background. I go more in depth regarding this issue in the following forum post where I demonstrate that this issue wasn't present on v13.18. Probably related to the .NET 9.0 update?

Since I have 90% of my roms archived and I like the startup screens, I had to stay on v13.18 since. I just wanted to inform you about this issue and see if it could be fixed for the next update.

Thank you and keep up the great work.
