I seem to be having this issue now. I’ve ne er had it before. I only noticed it since the update before last that introduced game loading splash screens. Im using controller automation to close the running window on my arcade cab. It closes the window and goes back to bigbox but it’s not in focus until I use a keyboard and alt tab. Ive noticed sometimes using controller automation to close the window just goes to a black screen too. It all used to work perfect so no idea what’s going on!

Now I’ve tried all sorts and got stuck getting workable controls Ive got bigbox with mame on and all runs great. I’ve also got a windows section with a mix of games. Some normal exe and sone pulled in from steam. My arcade games using mame and my stuff using retroarch works fine but my windows games like mortal kombat XL from steam doesn’t have the correct buttons so I can use steam to map the buttons and the game works great ? apart from bigbox gets confused and the menus jump up and down two at a time as it’s tegistering double input. So I turned off bigbox gamepad and then it works up and down my menus one at a time fine... but the buttons no longer work! So then I’ve tried xpadder which works on one of my games but then if I put it in my mortal kombat steam location and try and setup xpadder, it just crashes so I’m a bit stuck! I’m after a way to configure my normal bartop arcade buttons to work as a controller for both bigbox navigation, mame, retroarch and windows games oh I should add, it’s not bigbox, I’ve tried emulation station and got the same unless I disable steam controls and then my buttons are wrong

Hi! I’m setting up my first bartop arcade using a pc and trying to config my arcade stick and buttons for sone pc games. Sone aren’t mapping well do I used Xpadder which worked great on my test until I tried bigbox. So I had to disable Xpadder because bigbox was now registering double input. So any way I can use it or a similar program to remap keys without issue? I’ve just got cheap usb to joystick controller board from AliExpress. Is the only way a keyboard mapper board?

That’s what I’ve done in the end. Copy a playlist and then all the Ron’s. Launchbox only has the Roms I want in its library but all the rims are in the same folder thanks for your help

Ok thanks. I just want a non cluttered list. It’s from a split collection so should be ok. I guess the only way might be to add the ones I want to a playlist. All the ones I don’t want add to another playlist. Then copy all over to my arcade pc, then copy over the playlists XML then delete the ones I don’t want from the arcade pc.

Hey ive imported a load of mame Roms into a fresh install of launchbox. Ive gone though them and found 200 I like and added to a playlist. I know wantbto move just thise roms out of launchbox on this pc and onto my arcade cab pc. Is there an easy way of exporting the Roms in a pllsylist or moving their location to a different folder?

Yep. Game metadata is fine. Just platform didn’t work so it’s not a big problem, all still looks fine in big box and I’m taking it all offline to go in my cabinet tomorrow so doesn’t effect me now. It’s an odd issue though. Mill test it on another machine tomorrow

I’m ok now adding just making sure all the text is entered the same manually apart from the platform metadata doesn’t show. I was adding from the add a platform menu but I’ve tried importing and then creating a platform that way. Both don’t bring in metadata or show in any menus unless manually entered. This is on my current install and a new clean install on a new drive. Im running Windows 10

Thanks all. Still not working right with platform metadata in 9 for me even though the scrape as is set correctly. But as you say, it’s all set manually correctly and works so no problem
