  1. Thanks! There is currently not a way to, after selecting multiple rows, check the boxes for the rows selected. You will need to check them individually. However, I will add this to the someday-to-do-list. No promises on if/when that 'someday' will come.
  2. The [paraphrased] error "Could not find a part of the path ..\Core\Themes\....\fileName.ext", This was in my notes, quoted from one of the developers. From where (either here or on Discord) or when I got it, I don't recall. But I read it somewhere, so it must be true. So to answer your question, most likely yes (based on the quote above).
  3. I assume you have this batch file set as an Additional App for Golden Tee and checked to Run Before Main Application. With just a little bit of work/investigation/discovery, you could make this work automatically. Steps (generically written) Find out what the games window actually is Typically, it's linked to an exe. But you indicated this game doesn't have one. In that case, you need to find what the windows Title is. Convert what your batch file does into an AutoHotkey script This [new] script will Start the online database Wait around for the games window to exist (a.k.a. The actual game is running) Wait around for the games window to not exist anymore (a.k.a. The actual game has exited) Disconnect/close the database (whatever sending F12 does) Set this script as an Additional App for Golden Tee and checked to Run Before Main Application Remove the batch file as an Additional App Alternately, it looks like you can just add the database to the game directly in TP by adding the Postgres info (as seen in this pdf file). I personally don't run TP, so don't know how all that works.
  4. The issue with TeknoParrot is it's a launcher for its games. What happens is, you have LaunchBox start TP with the necessary parameters to start a game. TP launches, then starts "the game", then closes itself (while the game continues to play). LaunchBox sees TP closing as "the game exiting". So it (LaunchBox), can't tell when the actual "game" has exited. If you're referring to "when LaunchBox exits", that a different scenario.
  5. Sure there is. Edit the game. In the Startup/Pause section, check Override Default Screen Settings, then click Customize. Check the box to Enable Game Startup Screen and un-check the box to Enable Game Shutdown Screen. Click OK to save and close. Sure it does. Select the games and press Ctrl+E to start the Bulk Edit Wizard. For the Field, select Startup Screen - Enabled, and for the Value, check the box to enable it. Click Next, Next. Click Yes, I would like to make more changes. This time for the Field, select Startup Screen - Shutdown Enabled, and for the Value, un-check the box to disable it. Click Next, Next. Click No.... to close the wizard. I'm pretty sure this logic hasn't changed in quite a long while.
  6. Or... they have 66 pages of script tips and tidbits that they read through and find what their after, fulfilling their every need.
  7. As an option, you can detect the controller combo without the need for joytokey. 1Joy7:: { If GetKeyState("Joy8") { WinActivate, ahk_exe Launchbox.exe MouseMove, 586, 657, 0 Click } } Here, you need to press and hold Joy8 1st, then press Joy7 to have it run. Change the buttons accordingly. Regarding the SystemCursor method, is your script calling that from somewhere else? Because what you provided doesn't even use it. It's updated pretty much every time someone posts a question.
  8. Go to: Tools < Download < Force Update Games Database Metadata... When that's done, try it again. I tried [close to] the same thing... Pressed Ctrl+N to add a new game Manually typed in the platform Microsoft Xbox 360 Typed in the Title Ride Pressed Enter to have it search.. LB said the local database needed an update, so clicked Yes to downloaded it Got the same results as you did (everything except Ride) Closed that and ran the Force Update Add... Platform... Title... Ride was the only game that showed up Success!
  9. With Steam not running in the background, do you experience the same thing? e.g. with MAME If so, disable Steam Input. It's known to cause "controller confusion" (for lack of better words).
  10. The 2nd and 3rd line in the error message tells you what's wrong. It can't find that file. Are you running Big Box as admin? Is your D drive formatted as NTFS? Those are the 2 primary reasons that, if the file does actually exist, it can't be read from the symlink folder under /Core/, Another possibility is that the path to the image is hard coded in the theme and you put the theme in a folder other than /LaunchBox/Themes/Neon Deluxe Arcade/. e.g. /Neon Deluxe Arcade - Custom/
  11. In the Default theme, PlatformHybrid4View.xml should be disabled in ThemeSettings.xml. Though the View file does physically exist, there's nothing in it. Well, except a TextBlock that that says "HybridView4" (as you can see). It's meant as a placeholder**. That said, in the Themes Demo, that may be a bug... showing a view that's set not to show [per the ThemeSettings.xml]. Or it's by design to show "everything" existing. So, as far as that specific View is concerned, as they say.... "Move along. Nothing to see here." **Feel free to edit and customize to your specific needs. You can find more information about doing that here: Hybrid Views - LaunchBox
  12. The "problem" is, Configure shouldn't appear there. That is (I'm pretty sure) just for MS-DOS/DOSBox games. Edit the SNES game and look in the Launching section. Is there something listed next to Configuration Application Path:? Is whatever's in there, part of the game? My shoot-from-the-hip guess is, No. Remove it and click OK to save and close.
  13. What version of LaunchBox/Big Box are you using? VLC was depreciated in version 13.21. Note that setting the video playback engine (WMP or ffmpeg [v13.23 or newer]) is separated between the 2 UI's. LaunchBox - Tools < Options < General < Video Playback Big Box - System Menu < Options < Videos < Video Playback Engine In Big Box, try going in there and selecting "the other" playback engine. (Since LaunchBox is working, DON'T TOUCH IT in its options! )
  14. That version must double up the slashes. I double checked mine (MAME 0.283) and it showed: Video: Monitor 65537 = "\\.\DISPLAY1" (primary) (I only have one monitor hooked right now) But hey, can't argue with the verbose readout. Glad you got it working!
  15. Change this to 2.
  16. Version 2.3.3 Released Same old story, same old song & dance... Fixed: Fixed calls to HLTB (again)
  17. Looks like too many backslashes. Try \\.\DISPLAY2 And should only need to set it on the 1st screen [vs. also on screen0, screen1, screen2, screen3]. Everything else should be left auto. Yes. A resounding No.
  18. That all depends on the emulators used for each platform. And if they do have an accessible in-game menu system, you might/should be able to remap the key(s) similar to what you did with MAME.
  19. Per the temporary Workarounds outlined in the link above by @AstroBob, ("scanning" is equivalent to "importing")
  20. You never mentioned that was the specific button you wanted to use. But my Note (above) did cover that. Or get creative (now that I know that's the specific button you want to use). (In LaunchBox) Edit your MAME emulator In the Running Script section, add SetKeyDelay, 125, 50 $vk07::Send {Tab} If there's something in there already, add it to the bottom Click OK to save & close Play games and cheat to your hearts content
  21. I tested it before posting (that's how I knew the steps to write ) and it worked then. Make sure your controller is on before starting MAME. With Show/Hide Menu highlighted, press Enter then press "the button". Note: The Guide button won't work for this. MAME doesn't "see" it.
  22. Well, (2) is the "bundle" which includes both licenses (Windows and Android). So you would only need (1), the Windows [only] Lifetime Premium plan.
  23. This is a known issue, under investigation. Read here for more information: LaunchBox Error When Attempting To Download Video Media From Steam - LaunchBox
  24. When you deleted the file, did you do it while LB was not running/open?
  25. If you look under Tools < Manage < Storefronts..., you notice you have the option to import Steam games you have installed on your computer. It continues with... (paraphrasing) to import all your Steam games, you need to be logged in [to your Steam account]. When you remove a Steam game from your LaunchBox collection, it gets added to a "blacklist" so it doesn't auto reimport the one(s)-you-don't-want to see. Look in your /LaunchBox/Data/ folder for the file "ImportBlacklist.xml". (With LaunchBox closed...,) you can carefully edit that file and remove games you don't want blacklisted. Or just delete the file to "un-blacklist" them all.
