Select the games (tool icons?) you want to have hidden. (The grey ones) Prees Ctrl+E to start the Bulk Edit Wizard On the 2nd screen, select Hide and check the box. Click Next and follow the prompts from there. You may need to set LaunchBox to then hide the games marked hidden. Click View, Hide Games, select Marked Hidden. Yes. It will change it from the free version to the Premium version, opening up many features as well as BigBox and all its glory. All of your existing data (games, images, platforms, playlists etc.) will stay the same.

Yes and yes.

With that command line, should only need abc80.zip (bios). But the others won't hurt. As long as they're all somewhere within your rompath. I don't know what a "zipped bac format" is. For my Hires Invasion, I have "hiresinv.zip" and inside of it is "hiresinv.dsk". My abc80_flop set is from MAME 0.233, so I don't have "rocket". In fact, for 0.233 there's only 12 ROMs total. Note: There may be more [than 12] ROMs for abc80 available in 0.262 (which would include 'rocket'?). Don't know for sure. Question: Is it worth even setting up? Did you try opening MAME, going into "ABC 80", selecting Hires Invasion and pressing Enter to play it? As in, if you can't run in it MAME, you can't run it through LaunchBox. While in there, click "Available" to make sure MAME can even see the ROM. (If it doesn't show up in the list on the right, MAME can't see it)

This was in my notes from a long time ago. I have it 'checked' that it worked. So it should work. abc80 -autoboot_delay "3" -autoboot_command "run\"%romfile%\"\n" %romfile% (Don't change anything. Just copy/paste the above into the Command-line Parameters for the Associated Platform.)

Check the box "Don't use quotes". Otherwise, you're sending the command demul.exe -run=naomi -rom="hotd2" What want is (as you noted) demul.exe -run=naomi -rom=hotd2

Well, if worse comes to worse, there's always the SNES and NES ports.

The extra command line parameter would be -fullscreen. Which would be the same as setting in the .conf file fullscreen=true. What all settings did you change in your custom conf file to get your aspect ratio perfect? Can you share you conf file? Here's the one I use for The Lion King. dosbox.conf Probably should have asked before.. are you using the built in DOSBox feature of LaunchBox or did you setup a 'new emulator' in LaunchBox and have you DOS games use that emulator? Not trying to "beat a dead horse" here, but you should be able to achieve the best of both worlds. Just needs the proper finessing.

No. You shouldn't. Are you saying when you launch a DOSBox game, it's starting windowed? Is the "Start Fullscreen" checked? Mine goes straight to full screen (after the initial command prompt window). I presume you're using LaunchBox's built-in DOSBox. Maybe something else got buggered in your custom dosbox.conf file. Those 2 highlighted things were the only things I changed (and didn't manually edit the conf file at all). Now, where it says "edit" in my screenshot, it 1st said 'create... something something', then changed to "Edit". What I'm getting at maybe delete your custom conf file and create a new one from scratch. It should start full screen on its own.

I set mine up as shown below and I get the full 1080 and almost the full 1920 (by unchecking 'Aspect Correction'). I don't think you'll ever get the full 16:9 as the game is 320x200 (16:10).

You can try Tools - Import - ROMs. On the 2nd screen click Add Folder. Select the folder containing you FB Neo set. When Asked for a Platform, type in "Final Burn Neo" and also select your emulator accordingly. Follow the prompts from there which will include 'copy the files into the LaunchBox/Games folder' and also letting you check which media you want added. Another option is... in Windows Explorer, select all the ROMs and then drag them onto the LaunchBox window (that you have open). That will start the import wizard as well [skipping the 2nd screen mentioned above].

Sorry. I must have miss read your post. That's how you'd do it while you're actually playing a game. i.e. Launch a game, then when it's running, press Tab. I'm not certain if it's available in BigBox, but in the Game Menu, there may be an Open MAME option. Then from there you can go into General Settings from MAME's UI. But actually, starting a game then pressing Tab would be easier.

Press TAB on the keyboard.

...after checking the logs, double check that all the other 'enable badge' are still checked/enabled. Each of the IGameBadge plugin dll's should be independent of one another and are a go-no_go type of thing. That is, LaunchBox reads the particular "show this specific badge image if 'this' criterion is met" for each one independently. So one shouldn't affect the other. Unless, as C-Beats said, something along the way is killing the thread.

In LaunchBox you have your controller mappings for Exit Game set to your left and right stick presses. This essentially 'presses' Alt+F4 [on the keyboard] when you press your left and right sticks. But only while LaunchBox is running. As you found. You can disable it by clearing that mapping. Tools - Options - Game Controller - Mappings.

You can update the 'built-in' version of ScummVM. Assuming this hasn't changed since it was implemented.

Oh man! I am so sorry. It was a long weekend. Yes, the above process is for DOSBox. Not ScummVM. For ScummVM I've only installed 1 game. So did it the Manual route. This time using LaunchBox's built-in support for "ScummVM". 😊 Tools, Import, Manually Add game. I typed in the Title and set the Platform to ScummVM. Clicked Search for Metadata and it found the game. ("King's Quest 1 - Quest for the Crown" in this case) Went to the Launching, ScummVM section and checked the box Use ScummVM to play this game. Browsed to and selected the folder that held the Game Data for this game. Then selected the game from the dropdown combo box. (Listed as "King's Quest 1") Clicked OK to save and exit. Clicked Play to play it. As with DOSBox mentioned above, nothing else needed to be done to get it to play.

I've never used RA ScummVM but have used LaunchBox's built-in support for it. To import: Tools, Import, MS-DOS Games. I chose Add Folder and then selected the folder that held my MS-DOS games' sub-folders. Followed through the prompts and when it was completed, selected a game and clicked Play. Nothing else was needed to be done to get them playing. Since you previously attempted using RA for your MS-DOS games, as a precaution you may want to (need to?) edit your RetroArch emulator (in LaunchBox) and un-check it as the default emulator (under Associated Platforms) for you MS-DOS platform. Do this before using the Import MS-DOS Games Wizard.

Ahh... Ya, probably not. But I think you'd still need to do the option I mentioned for existing games. Unless the method you tried has the option change the path of the existing games too (if it doesn't lock up on you).

There is also the option Tools, File Management, Change ROMs Folder Path for Selected Games (select all games in the platform, then do that). That doesn't change the default path though.

There's at least one (if not a couple?) vertical theme you can find in the Downloads section here on forum. In BigBox System Menu, Options, Controller Mappings (or maybe it's only in Keyboard Mappings?), you can bind a button to change Themes (there's also one to change View).

If the version is in the games Title, it will show. You can't hide a part of the Title. If the version is in the Version field of the game(s), you can toggle that in the View pulldown menu, the under Show/Hide and Version.

To add to this, what I have in my notes is: ti99_4a -ioport peb -ioport:peb:slot2 32kmem -ioport:peb:slot3 speech -cart Which simply adds the 32k mem. Pretty sure I go that from here: MAME TI emulation usage - Ninerpedia

Didn't see any of the requested game screenshots, so guessing 2 possibilities to getting it to run via LaunchBox using you dedicated TI99 MAME emulator. Attempt #1 Try checking the 2 boxes: Remove Quotes and Remove File Extension.... Attempt #2 Don't check those 2 boxes and add to the end of the Default Command-line Parameters, -cart

Can you share a couple of screenshots? Edit your MAME emulator and share a screenshot of the Details section Associated Platforms section (where we can see your TI99 platform and its values) Edit a TI99 game you're trying to launch and share a screenshot of the Launching section Emulation section

You're welcome. Ya, I do tend to over annotate. 😊 No and yes. No, not innately. The available image types/groups are hard-coded. Yes, if you put your technical competence to use and modify the appropriate theme View to have the <Image ... > point to the specific folder then add a fallback converter to look for a 'backup' image to display if the 1st one [for that game] didn't exist. P.I.T.A.!!! But achievable. Still, I'd stick with No. Alternatively, you can use an existing image type that you won't/don't use. Like "Arcade - Circuit Board". (Though If you're into electronics, they are cool to look at.) Then just pretend "Arcade - Circuit Board" is called "Craig's anal retentive box art" and move it to the top of the list. Then set your select images to that type. Or drop the image(s) into that folder (via Windows Explorer).
