Commented on Trackball / Spinner support for BigBox - Spin the wheel!It’s already available in the 14.1 beta-1 if you want to give it a “spin” 😉 🥁Commented on New Platform: Mega LD / Pioneer LaserActiveHi Folks, just to let you know this platform now exists in the database. https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/platforms/games/229-pioneer-laseractiveCommented on Add C64GS Compatibility Support for Commodore 64 GamesThanks for the request. The Commodore 64 Games System is definitely an interesting piece of hardware, but we probably would not want to add it as a separate Games Database platform because its software library overlaps heavily with the existing Commodore 64 platform. Most C64GS-c…Commented on LaunchBox Reader - Support for PDFs that have two manual pages per PDF pageHi there, With last week’s release of LaunchBox for Windows 14.0.1, the fix for this is now available to everyone. There’s now a new 2-pages option in the LaunchBox reader, and you can update to the latest version from within the app to receive this. Notes on the release can be f…Commented on Identify Games with RetroAchievements Sets but Invalid HashesI love this idea! Thanks for sharing thisCommented on Create Fanart categories for every image type missing BOX 3D, LOGOS, and reconstructed for carts.Heya, thanks for the suggestion here. We have plans to address this, but not by simply adding new categories, but by introducing a tagging system that would allow you to tag any existing category as fanart. I’ll merge this request into that one so you can stay updated with it’s d…Commented on More 3D Model Box TypesWe can certainly consider it, if you want to pop your wishlist for specifics for this into a request we can take it into considerationCommented on Add Option to Sort Titles by Leading ArticlesThanks for the suggestion. This makes sense as an optional sorting preference, since different users prefer different alphabetical ordering rules. As a current workaround, you can edit a game’s Sort Title field to control exactly where it appears when sorting. For example, if you…Commented on MapsHiya, thanks for the suggestion here, this would be a great use-case for an existing feature request we have to support tagging images on the games database. That way it allows people to create custom categories under existing cateogires rather than supporting all sorts of new im…Created Sync playtime from RetroAchievements for games that have RetroAchievements supportCreated Add Incremental Sync for Android Device ProfilesCreated Add a Timeline View for Browsing Game HistoryCommented on Improve ROM Filename Cleanup During ImportHi, thanks for the report. This looks like a valid filename parsing issue. LaunchBox already strips many common tags from ROM filenames, such as text inside [] or (), so the Switch title ID and the (v65536 UPD) portion should usually be ignored. However, strings like incl v1.0.2…Created Add Saved Android Export ProfilesCommented on Add more Emojis/Notes for GamesHiya, thanks for the suggestion. I’m going to merge this into an existing request we have for custom badges, since this is one of the use-cases covered by that request.Commented on Private/Local StoreFrontThanks for the detailed suggestion. There are a lot of interesting ideas here, but the full scope is very large, so we’d likely need to break it down into smaller feature requests. The strongest starting point seems to be support for a local installer library, where LaunchBox cou…Commented on Box BoxHeya, in Big Box if you go to System Menu > Options > General and then under Marquee Screen if you set that to None, and then set your Primary Screen, that should allow you to use Big Box on a single screen. Let me know if that doesn’t work for you.Commented on Add Middle-Click Auto-Scroll to LaunchBoxSorry for the delay here, this one would be super useful. I’ve fleshed out it out and opening up to the community. Thanks for suggesting this oneCommented on Add Per-Version Configuration Launch SettingsThanks for the request. Additional apps/versions do already support their own application command-line parameters, so your MT-32/ScummVM use case may already be possible through the version’s launch settings. That said, there does appear to be a related gap: versions do not seem…Commented on Launcbhox last beta update being detectes as MALWARE (Bitdefender)Hi there, Thanks for reaching out. If this happened while using the built-in LaunchBox updater, the update is coming from a trusted LaunchBox source and is most likely an antivirus false positive. Please try updating your antivirus definitions, then restore or allow the quarantin…Created Customize LaunchBox Keyboard ShortcutsCreated Optional Image Column in List ViewCreated Keyboard Shortcut for LaunchBox OptionsCreated Direct Games Database Lookup for Metadata ScrapingUpvoted Yearly Recap / “Wrapped” Experience to LaunchBox & Big BoxCreated Consumer Cloud Storage Support for Android Game LibrariesCreated Improve LaunchBox Window Scaling and Responsive LayoutCreated Allow Multiple LaunchBox Instances To Run SimultaneouslyUpvoted Native Badge Support for Custom FieldsUpvoted Sync Playtime from Other Storefront Launchers
