  1. You can apply filters in Big Box by; when in the Arcade platform, open up the Filter. If you have a vertical wheel view, navigate left or right to bring up the search bar and select the 'hamburger' menu. I'm not sure what the navigation is for other views. You can also map a key and/or button [combo] to Filter and bring it up that way. System Menu < Options < Keyboard Mappings or System Menu < Options < Controller Mappings Rather than applying a filter, you could also create a playlist(s) for those and switch to View Playlists.
  2. The entire error message would probably be most helpful for the developers. When you have the message box in focus (selected), you should be able to press Ctrl+C to copy it to the 'clipboard'. Then you can press Ctrl+V here, in your reply. Try switching to Images View [Ctrl+Alt+A] (vs. List View). That's what seemed to fix it for me. At least until it's resolved in the next beta release. However, for me... [doing some "stress-testing"] after switching the views back and forth several times (and needing to close the error messages in between, but ONLY when switching to List View) , restarting LaunchBox into the different views [several times], it seems to "have fixed itself". Running Windows 10. Error 1 (taken from Logs) 2025-05-23 12:23:14 PM FIRST CHANCE EXCEPTION: The DisplayIndex for the DataGridColumn with Header 'System.Windows.Controls.Border' is out of range. DisplayIndex must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than Columns.Count. (Parameter 'displayIndex') Actual value was 35. Error #2 (taken from Logs) 2025-05-23 12:23:14 PM DISPLAYED EXCEPTION: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
  3. I'm believe Default Plus was the 1st theme to implement the platform icons feature. So it had placed them into it's own folder structure. Subsequently a 'universal' folder was added to store those images. If you wish to have those icons available for all your Themes (i.e. themes other than just Default Plus), they can be placed in: \LaunchBox\Images\Platform Icons\Platforms\ Note: As a fallback, Default Plus will also look for icon images in this folder if a particular one doesn't exist within its own folder structure.
  4. Fortunately. the plugin only reads the existing files (rather than modifying them). It does provide the options to move the 'read' files to a location of your choosing "for backup" after converting or leave them where they are. There is a 3rd option, which is to delete the original files [only after a successful conversion]. It's not for everyone. But an option none-the-less. If I didn't add that in, someone, somewhere would have asked for it.
  5. The one and only (IMO) Arcade Database. http://adb.arcadeitalia.net/
  6. The issue When browsing a platform like Arcade or SNES on the Games Database website, the only way to navigate through a large list of games is via a numbered pagination bar (Page 1 → Page 70). If you’re looking for a game that starts with a specific letter (e.g. “R”), you have to jump from page to page, using guesswork to zero in on your target. This trial-and-error approach is inefficient—especially for platforms with hundreds or thousands of entries. Proposal Add an A–Z / 0–9 navigation bar at the top of each platform’s page in the LaunchBox Games Database. When a letter is clicked, the platform view scrolls or jumps to the first entry beginning with that letter or number. To see more details and to upvote this feature request, click the link below.

  7. Xpadder wouldn't have anything to do with MAME saving in-game changes. But what I was asking about was the high score leaderboard integration feature in LaunchBox itself. I assume your talking about in the MAME UI. I'm not sure about all settings, but I know if your change a controller setting from within MAME, it will show a different color between its' defaults and ones you change. It's just a visual indicator for you. It has nothing to do with the controllers you have set/attached/use in LaunchBox or otherwise. Also, it's not that the control setting changes you make in-game are being wiped. It's that they're not being saved [to /cfg/romName.cfg] in the 1st place. Any chance you're running LaunchBox as Admin?
  8. If you turn off the high score leaderboard integration feature, will it then save the controller configuration? Tools < Options < Integrations < MAME This is, of course, how it should be done. And fortunately, it is fairly rare the a single game needs tweaking. But yeah, not unheard of.
  9. Thanks. Glad it worked. But it's still a little perplexing as to why it was passing the emulators application path. But since you're the first that I'm aware of that has had that issue, maybe it's a one-off Burrito thing.
  10. 1st thought is to double check the path to the ROM file. (i.e. Edit the game and look there) It would be a major bug if it was actually passing the emulators path rather than the ROMs path. If it truly is, definitely file a bug report. Until then, you may try adding to the end of the parameters %romfile% -fullscreen %romfile% If you're still having issues, (not to say you don't know what you're doing and "prove it") can you post some screenshots? Emulator - Default section and Associated Platforms section Game_in_question - Main section, Launching section and the Emulation section.
  11. New Release: (May 16, 2025) beta version 0.0.9 Requires LB 13.19 or newer Rewritten for .NET 9 New look. New feel. Same features Except you no longer have the option to NOT import clones If clones exist in the xml, either import them as Additional Apps or import them separately (default) @paQ @mamizoune @dukdukgoos
  12. Glad to hear. Can you let others know how you fixed it? Did the images placed in the new folder automatically override the default ones? Or did you have to make other changes to get them to show? Funny thing is, I used Google to find the info I shared.
  13. I don't have any lightguns or play the games that use crosshairs. I only know what I've read. I'm sure if you search the web you'll be able to find some you can use.
  14. It seems to be an innate MAME thing. Also, the default crosshairs are embedded into MAME. (Actually, I think they use SDL_SYSTEM_CURSOR_CROSSHAIR and then maybe add color to that) So you can't just change "them". You can however create a folder under /MAME/ called crosshair and add crosshair images in there. (Double check it's the same in mame.ini for the "crosshairpath".) Suffix the filenames with 1, 2, 3, 4 for the respective players. i.e. cross1.png, cross2.png Not sure if these images will automatically override the default, or if you have to set them via the games TAB menu.
  15. May try refreshing the image cache. System Menu < Options < Image Cache
  16. According to this post, it needs to onscreen keyboard. ZX Spectrum Emulation - Emulation - LaunchBox Community Forums Just because it's not listed doesn't mean you can't add it. Fuse looks to be command-line parameters rich (a LOT of options). So there shouldn't be any issues running it.
  17. We can appreciate you wanting to get information regarding this, please don't the same question multiple times. I will delete your older post, leaving this one active. Thanks for understanding.
  18. When you put in your feature request (top of this page Help & Support - Request a Feature, be sure to post a link to it here so that others become aware of the request and can upvote it too.
  19. That must be about the time this plugin was depreciated and replaced with the 'new and improved' all-in-one MAMEdatsViewer plugin. Apologies for any inconvenience. See here for the replacement plugin:
  20. The way to do it is what you did. Edit the platform/playlist and change the path(s). The "easy" way would be to just move LaunchBox to the 'other location'. You might be able to crate symbolic links of the main folder to the other location.
  21. Based on the quote and in the video, yes. LaunchBox gets the info of what to import direct from what RPCS3 has been installed in RPCS3. Don't do that. Select 'Keep the games in their original location'. Think to yourself, "Why would I want to move them when I spent so much time organizing them so nicely?"
  22. To clarify, in the View you're using (vert. wheel, horz. wheel, whatever) you CAN see the HLTB in the game details for some games. But when you switch to the next (or a different) game (in the same view, same platform), you CAN'T see the HLTB? Verify the game that doesn't show it actually has one stored for it. I see with the CZ2 theme, the Horizontal Boxes with Details view, the details max out with 4 lines. If you select the game to bring up the Game Details screen, does it show there? (it should) Maybe try a different View.
  23. In general, LaunchBox is community driven feature based application. So my guess is that nobody's asked for a light theme. (By "white background", I presume that's what you mean.) At the top of this page under Help & Support, you can select Request a Feature. By using a few of the countless integrated small features, the "Old Default" theme and an image (a .png file that is white in color) as the background image, this is close to what I think you were asking for. As you can see, the background is white, but the sidebars are medium-gray. I believe those are hard-coded as previously mentioned and can most likely be changed by modifying [a copy of] the theme. Note: The white font you see in the left sidebar CAN be changed in the Colors section. However the right side-bar appears to be hard coded. Correction, restarting LB applies the font color to ALL fonts. The popup windows can be made light by selecting Use Default Light Theme Colors. You can reduce the light-ish gray background [here] even more by adjusting the Contrast. If you can provide more details on exactly what you're after (maybe add a screenshot highlighting the areas and the colors you're looking for), I'm sure someone can help you along coming up with a solution to "the issue".
  24. You hit on a key phrase... "using LB in conjunction with RPCS3 is unique compared to other consoles". Though, it's almost actually easier. Introduced in version 13.15 New Feature: Added support for automatic import of RPCS3 games that have been added into its virtual hard drive, when the RPCS3 emulator is added into LaunchBox and the Automatic Import of ROMs is enabled A demo can be found in the 13.15 release video.
