Thanks for that. It's not something I'm desperate for but just didn't want to waste time trying to get it to work if it's not baked into the software yet. Thanks for saving me the time and trouble. Much appreciated 🙂

Hi all, I know that from v12 there was the ability to have video marquees for games. I wondered if it's possible to have video marquees for platforms/playlists? And, if so, how I go about it? I wanted a video marquee for Arcade Classics (playlist). I made a "Marquee" folder in the \Videos\Playlists\ but no joy? So, I've so far tried... \Videos\Playlists\Marquee\Arcade Classics.mp4 \Videos\Playlists\Arcade Classics\Marquee\Arcade Classics.mp4 But no joy? Is it possible? Thanks

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing 🙂

Excellent! Well done! Now the tricky part is playing the bloody things! I always struggle playing Dragon's Lair etc. Can never get the timing / controls correct 🙂 But, enjoy!

Yep, I've done the same. I was having problems getting Spectrum games set up - they would work - then I would tweak something for another platform and they wouldn't work anymore! 🙂 So, I've set up a "Retroarch - Controllers" which is all the platforms that I use my controllers on and also a Retroarch - Handhelds and a Retroarch - Spectrum. I know that I could probably consolidate them but I like it this way. More hard drive space but that's not a major problem and I can safely play around with controls / shaders etc without affecting another platform.

You need to get them working from the Daphne launcher first. Then check the Daphne-log.txt to see what files the software is looking for. From there you'll have a better understanding of which (if any) files are in the wrong place. Hope that helps 🙂
-
If you can do American Laser then Daphne is just exactly the same. You shouldn't have any problems (fingers firmly crossed!) 🙂

@Juketsu thanks for the link to the source files and the info about Wall Views. Very much appreciated and keep up the great work. 🙂 -
Thanks for that but it's still not working for me? The top link in the page just gives a Launchbox "Oops something went wrong" message?

Hi @Juketsu As others have said, this theme is absolutely beautiful. I think it's the only theme I will ever need on my cab as it really completes the look perfectly. There are just a few tiny tweaks that I'd love to do but can't find the source files for this one (you uploaded the source files for the version 1.x). Are the source files for this one uploaded? I've been playing around with the Theme Creator and watching a lot of the You Tube videos on it and, whilst I can't "build" a theme, I can certainly stand on the shoulders of giant (like yourself) and 'tweak' a theme... Many thanks for all your hard work and releasing this great theme into the community, you can tell by the outpouring of positive feedback just how great your work is 🙂

These are amazing! Any chance of reuploading that mahoosive file... Google drive says the file has gone? Thanks for all your hard work and sharing all this (especially the blank template - give a man a fish and all that!!). Cheers 🙂

Superb! Thanks for sharing! 🙂 -
Did you have a look at the Daphne_log.txt to see what that says? It's probably just a path error somewhere... ? I've not messed with American Laser Games in years (whenever this thread was created) but I remember seeing quite a few of those error messages before I finally cracked it. *Edit* - the first trick is to get them working with their own launcher before you start trying to get Launchbox to run them.
-
These are superb!! Really great looking. Not sure if you are planning on doing any others... if you do find yourself expanding the collection then a Lightgun Games / Quiz Machines / Hidden Object Games / Jukebox ones would go down a treat? Or maybe instructions on how they were made (give a man a fish and all that...) Thanks for sharing your hard work 🙂 -
Brilliant RetroCove. Thanks for the idea. I think that's the way I'll go.... I really like your Favourites (All Systems) category as well. That's a great idea. Many thanks for the idea 🙂
-
Thanks Retro. Appreciate you clarifying. I'ts not a problem but would just be a "nice to have". My son has started playing with my arcade and unless you're "in the know" you're not going to know search for "Future Pinball" etc... (obviously I've told him about it - but it would make my arcade more intuitive if there was a Pinball category in among the Platform list...). Thanks again for your help 🙂
-
Thanks for getting back to me RetroCove. I just wanted *that* category showing though. In other words, I want my Startup View to be a list of Platforms but with also the Pinball Category... so the wheel would be something like.... Arcade Atari 2600 etc Pinball --> -------------> Future Pinball -------------> Visual Pinball I know that you can set a Playlist to show in the wheel, I just wondered if you could do it with a Category? Thanks for your help 🙂

Hi all, I have got a few pinball platforms (FX3, Visual Pinball, Future Pinball) and (ideally) I would like one Category of "Pinball" and you can see on the main wheel and then you click into that and have the various platforms within there. The reason being, if people are playing on my cab, they may want to have a game of pinball but can't find the games (i.e. don't know to search for "Future Pinball"). Also, it would keep things neater. I've added a "Category" of Pinball. And I've edited the pinball Platforms to have the Category of "Pinball" as their parent. Not sure where to go from here though? Is it possible? What else do I need to do? Many thanks 🙂

Thanks Retro. I'll drop them a line. I've just emailed my mate to get his home email addy off him so I'll send that along as well and see if they can generate him the license. Thanks again

Hi there, I'm selling my old arcade cab (running Hyperspin) to a mate of mine. When the Black Friday sale was on I thought it would be nice to buy an annual license for LaunchBox and get that set up for him. I bought the license (I already own a lifetime license for LB on my main arcade) and reformatted my old arcade to Win 10, installed LB and I've just come to transfer the License.xml and it looks like it has my Name/Email encoded into it? Is there a way to transfer this license over to him? I've never installed the license (i.e. it's never "been online"). I've literally just downloaded it from my purchase email right now. Many thanks John

Big Box just launches whatever 'exe' it points to. If I'm understanding you correctly, you could just point Big Box to some batch file that opens the manual? Not sure of the intricacies of this though... would need all your manuals naming the same as the game I think. Other than that, it sounds like Big Box might not be your best option for what you're trying to achieve? It could be a case of using BB to get all the media/manuals etc and then rolling your own front end to display them? Maybe via an offline website arrangement through the browser?

Started watching a programme on Netflix called "High Score" last night. It charts the evolution of the gaming industry and the inspiration behind some of the (now) classic games - Pac Man, Space Invaders etc. Also some of the politics and shenanigans that went on behind the scenes. I've only watched the first episode but I really enjoyed it and thought it might appeal to others on here. 🙂
