Version 2.0.1 Released Removed menu item from BigBox New Feature: Show games assigned to an emulator that [the emulator] no longer exists. These are listed under the platform "<< Unassigned Emulator >>"

A "bug" indicates there's something wrong with the program. This indicates there's something wrong with your setup. Ahh... A "feature request". Now that's a different story. In a world of standing behind a wall of written words, semantics matter. I've been caught too many times wrongly interpreting what someone "meant to say" that I now take the words a face value. At the risk of "wrongly interpreting" your request, you want to: If a game has an associated emulator (the checkbox "Use an emulator to play this game" is checked) and that emulator doesn't exist (the field below the checkbox is empty) You want the plugin to un-check the "Use an emulator to play this game" checkbox That's outside of the intent and scope of the plugin. It's meant to be a viewer. Not a fixer. Going back to your initial post, v1.0.2 was supposed to have removed << Unassigned Emulator >> from even showing on the list of emulators. That would be a "bug". A different feature request could be: In the view Emulators and their Games, list out any errant emulator(s) (it would show only the emulator ID #) and then listing the games associated to it. This may be a bit tricky because it would need to scan all games, check their assigned emulator, verify that emulator actually [still] exists, then if not, start a list for that "emulator", find the next game that the emu doesn't exist, check if a list is started for that emu, then either add to it or start a new one. Or... scan all games and if their assigned emulator doesn't actually exist, add it to a single "<< Unassigned Emulator >>" entry. Or maybe better, "<< Emulator that doesn't exist >>" (or something similar). Still a bit of processing involved. But less clutter in the emulators list.

It's not a bug because the game does have an assigned emulator. That's why the box is checked when you open/edit it. The problem your build doesn't have an emulator with that ID assigned to it anymore. You can see it in the platforms /Data/Platforms/platform_name.xml file, which is where the API gets me the data from. I suggest adding an emulator and assigning it to "that" platform. When ask "do you want to make this the default emulator for all games in this platform?", tell it yes. Most likely those games can't run without an emulator. So adding/assigning one is an inevitable part of the process.

You're welcome. No. I never received one. The last one I received from anyone was in June.

Thanks. Glad it worked. As for using it on a different monitor/TV, sure. It'll just won't fill the screen. But should still be readable. When I tested it on my 32" 1920x1080, it looked fine on the middle of the screen. Didn't test on the 60 TV because I don' have 640x480 monitor and won't be using it.

Man! You just want it all. Don't you? lol Looking at JayJay's code, the window contents are hard coded to a fixed size. Since I don't have a 640x480 display and can't even change my settings down that far, it's all a guessing game for me. With that, I present to my guess #2. MAME_Hi_Scores (v5.2.0-beta-2 640x480 edition).7z

I went for the "quick" fix (not to be confused with a "cheap" fix). Hopefully this will work for everyone. Otherwise, I'll go back and actually 'spend time working on it'. v5.2.0 - unofficial release (unless it works. Then it'll be official. ) - Displayed window size should now be more autonomous. MAME_Hi_Scores (v5.2.0).7z

Yes Windows. When I get a chance, I'll take look at the code. JayJay did that screen part. I'll dig through and see if I can decipher what he did.

NICE!!!!! Congratulations! What do you have the Scale and Layout for the display set to? Over 100%?
