Try: Edit MAME (in LaunchBox) and un-check "Attempt to hide console window on startup/shutdown".

Thanks! That does look pretty sharp! As for the mouse, only play games that don't require one. For me, what I'm seeing is, the emulator mouse looks like it gets stuck in the upper left edge between the emulator and the bezel. My only guess is the emu cursor is 'fighting' with the bezel: The bezel, forcing itself to stay on top. While at the same time keeping the emulator the active window. Pressing the Pause/Break key "takes care of it". But does no good if you need the emulated mouse in-game. Not really sure if something can be done, for whatever is causing the conflict. The good thing is it seems to work great with the LaunchBox Pause themes (I mapped start/stop emulation to "P". Not sure if it was needed) and the game I tested (Bubble Bobble) plays and works great.
-
What settings do you have in Steem? Are you able to get it windowed full screen and then the plugin sizes it to fit within the bezel? I ask because I can't get it to do that. Though, I did just install it within the last hour and am still figuring it out. (If you could detail, or better yet share some screenshots of your Steem configuration(s) [in the emulator itself], it'd be greatly appreciated.)

These 2 pretty much counter each other out. Since TP ('for some games') launches another exe (the 'actual game') and then closes itself (the emulator LB initiated), all associated scripts for that emulator are also closed (abandoned / become un-available). I don't have workaround for this as I got rid of TP several years ago. But shared the above so you don't waste time looking for a script that works for those 'some games'.

Thanks! Glad you like it. Really, the only potentially useful DAT to have accessible during gameplay would be command.dat. 'gameinit' is a one-and-done thing, so would just get in the way. Even though I don't create themes, Pause or otherwise, I do know it would be a right pain to add a DAT viewer into one. It would be a lot easier to properly add the DAT to MAME, press Tab and access it (or even them) from there. Just sayin'.

LaunchBox Games Database Image Viewer-Plus
JoeViking245 commented on JoeViking245's file in Third-party Apps and Plugins
The process for getting the images from the LB Games Database hadn't changed since the last official release of this plugin. It's essentially downloading the images from the LB Games Database. They download and appear when they download and appear. I can't change that. Also, I'm not sure how the other plugins would affect this. -
LaunchBox Games Database Image Viewer-Plus
JoeViking245 commented on JoeViking245's file in Third-party Apps and Plugins
I'm unable to reproduce the images not showing in the betas. I moved some stuff around in the code for beta-3 to change the loading sequence. Hopefully that'll fix it. If not, I may need to remove the 'save hide images checkbox' addition. The odd thing is, that's the only thing changed between v1.2.1 and 1.3.0 betas. Save the checkbox status on exit and set it on reload. Nothing else was touched. LBDBimages (v1.3.0-beta-3).7z If anyone else reading this can test the beta and confirm the images are/aren't showing, that'd be helpful. -

Thanks for letting me know. When adding the 'hide game' part, I forgot to change something with the Zoom level. This should fix it. LBDBimages (v1.3.0-beta-2).7z As for the images disappearing, what the heck "game" is "IK+"? Also, ID #6415 doesn't even exist in the local database. You may need to a "Tools < Download < Force Update Games Database Metadata..." and then also rescan Metadata your games. But that does remind me, I have it check that the game has an associated LBDB ID# before it'll load. Didn't think to have it check if it has a valid LBDB ID#. I'll add that check in next time. -

Thank you very much. Not sure what you mean by the right-click menu other than that's how the plugin is accessed already. Unless you mean the right-click menu in the audit window. The provided LaunchBox API doesn't give us access to the audit window. Glad you like. Just "Be[ing] excellent to each other". -

Your 1st screenshot is showing (not showing) the games' Clear Logos. If a game doesn't have its Clear Log, plain text will be shown. If in LaunchBox, you recently added [more] game Clear Logos (or any other images for that matter), in BigBox you need to update the image cache. System Menu < Options < Image Cache - select 1 or more options Your 2nd screenshot if for Platform Videos.

I merged your post with the one you linked since they are directly related. The 2 command lines are synonymous. When you add the command-line parameters the OP suggests, %romfile% translates to <game ROM> "location of your bios" translates to <BIOS> "location of your sound bios" translates to [sound BIOS] LaunchBox will automatically replace %romfile% with the path to the games ROM file [as you have it set in the games Application Path]. For the BIOS file, you want to put the full path to the file, "in quotes". The sound BIOS is optional (but according to the documents, you need it if you want to hear something) as depicted by it [being in brackets]. Like the main BIOS file, you want to put the full path to the file "in quotes". Here's an example: %romfile% "D:\Games\Loopy Stuff\casloopyBIOSfile.zip" "D:\Games\Loopy Stuff\casloopySoundBIOSfile.zip"

Thanks again. Some done. Some ignored. Some extras (well, one).

(Right-click image and select View Fullscreen) New Feature: Bulk. Can now select multiple games

"Additional Apps" that worked before are now broken

Some things. But not all. You need to set the controller bindings separately in LaunchBox and BigBox. Respectively.

Favourites List for ZX Spectrum not generating.
JoeViking245 replied to megagarrym's topic in Troubleshooting
Before you indicated is said Nothing to Do. No Missing Playlists makes more sense. I just ran a test on v13.18 and v13.19 and it worked here to 'add the missing playlist'. Based on the actual message it gave to you, makes me wonder, if you switched to the Playlists view (left panel, change from Platform Category to Playlists), if it would appear there. And that for some reason it just didn't nest it under the platform. Maybe look there to see if there're 2 [similar] playlists (the 1 generated and the one you created). The one it generated for me looks like this. -
LED Blinky - I'm using xinput. How do I simply turn my LEDs on?
JoeViking245 replied to Hamburglin's topic in Features
I keep forgetting 'newer' encoders can also do XInput. The antiquated IPac-2 encoder on my cab can only do keyboard mode. But the cab at least does have the side flipper buttons. -

JoeViking245 replied to Hamburglin's topic in Features
Never tried it on the other 2, but you can [also] set XInput controls for Visual Pinball (VPX). Though, to me, it's weird playing it with a controller. -
Favourites List for ZX Spectrum not generating.
JoeViking245 replied to megagarrym's topic in Troubleshooting
Show your work. Kind of difficult to help when we don't know exactly what you did. Edit your ZX Spectrum Favorites playlist you created and share some screen shots. Specifically, the Auto-Populate tab. -
Sorry. I have zero knowledge of UltraSticks. But I do know that the folks at Ultimarc have been super helpful for other Community members. Maybe not specific to this, but in general. And not to throw out a cliche, but Googling may help. I find it works better than searching the site. Throw in the keyword "LaunchBox" or :BigBox" in your case helps a lot. i.e. "BigBox Ultrastik 360".
