If you're on the LaunchBox v13.28-beta's, there's have been similar reports noted in the beta thread. The interim fix is to disable Startup Screens. If you're on an earlier LB build, then don't know. You might try using the PCSX2x6 [fork] emulator for the 'new' lightgun games. (this is assuming the new games are from the Namco System 246 and System 256 systems.)

Glad to hear. Also, be sure to read the section Emulator Settings in the plugin description (1st page of this thread) as it covers specifics just for SuperModel.

Is that the name of your Platform? Does your SuperModel3 emulator have the Associated Platform "Sega Model 3"? (assuming that's the name of the platform) Did you try clicking Refresh All in the Setting UI?

If rolling back to v13.27, with LaunchBox not running, delete the \LaunchBox\Plugins\LaunchBox Reader\ folder. Start LaunchBox.

These should all be taken care of now.

A couple options: You can try the Tools < Download < Update Metadata and Media for Selected Games... again. In a latter window in the Wizard, select Yes, but do not replace any existing fields or media. Some say it will pick up more when ran a 2nd time. Never tested that myself. You can try editing the individual games missing certain assets. In the game's edit menu Images section, click Download Media. This will show what media is available for that specific game. The items that are un-checked are image types you already have for that game. Be sure to look in both the LB tab and EmuMovies tab. Another means of going game-by-game that can give you a little better visual representation of available images from the LaunchBox Games Database is to use the LaunchBox Games Database Image Viewer-Plus plugin. Note, this won't search EmuMovies. You can look in the Downloads section (near top of this page) and in the right panel select Game Media. You can look in the Downloads section (near top of this page) and in the right panel select Third-Party Apps and Plugins. Then in the Search [this category] box, type in scraper. There you should find a couple different media scraper plugins like SteamGridDB Scraper and The Game Scraper.

I just opened and closed it 5 times without issue. I do notice it takes a few seconds longer, after the frame loads for the video to appear behind it. My knowledge on pup packs is pretty limited. Hopefully someone who's more familiar with them can chime in with an idea. Is this the only table with a pup pack having issues? Is your Pup Player current? My last-ditch effort would be to re-download the table/music/pup-pack and completely replace your existing files (basically to ensure a fresh, clean start-from-scratch). Which is what I'm working with that seems to work. And the last of the straws for me to grasp at is to make sure your video drivers are updated. A stretch? Maybe. But not purposefully trying to stretch "the short straw".

I ran a test on 13.27 and am seeing what you're seeing. Rather... not seeing. I then tried 13.26 and same thing. I didn't have 13.25 or 13.24 setup on my test PC. Tried on 13.23 and [still] same thing. (...Working on a process of elimination...) I then tried 13.28-beta-3 and it worked, no issue. But.... LaunchBox should have no effect on how the pup videos load. That's all I know about that. I even tried an older version of the table (v1.0.2) and no luck on 13.27. But 1.0.2 did work on 13.28-beta. Not sure why it would work on 13.28-beta and not 13.27, 13.26, 13.23. Even more perplexing, why it was working for you before, and not now. That all said, I'm out of ideas.

What version of LaunchBox are you using? Try turning off Startup Screens for VPX (settings in LaunchBox) and see if that make a difference.

Since it's a beta version... ...at this point, you have 2 options: Wait until the next beta in this series comes out (timeframe unknown) and hope it's resolved. Roll back to the last stable release, v13.27. More information about beta releases (including reverting to a previous version) can be found here: LaunchBox Beta Versions - LaunchBox

Look in System Menu < Options < Image Cache and select one or more of the Refresh options.

Sounds like you're running the LaunchBox 13.28-beta version. This has been noted by a couple others in the beta thread for this release.

Right on their Command line usage page shows command parameters you can use and also has examples. 1984/USAGE.md at main · salvogendut/1984

If you totally disable/un-assign/un-map the Back action, when they enter into a platform [to look at games], how are they able to get back to the platform view? I presume your cab's encoder is in Xinput mode (vs keyboard mode). Otherwise you need to look in Keyboard Mappings. Sounds like you found the System Menu < Options < General < Require Holding Back to Navigate to System Menu option. And I think that's your [only?] option for what you're wanting to do. Seems to be about a 3 second hold. So unless they set their beer on the button, that should/would/could be sufficient. Depending on your encoder's mode (Xinput or Keyboard), check your mapping for System Menu < Options < Controller Mappings < View System Menu System Menu < Options < Keyboard Mappings < View System Menu These will take you directly to the System Menu, regardless of Require Hold...
