Randomly while scrolling through games in launchbox the video will play with a black screen, but you can still hear the audio in the background. Then, if you click off of the game and back on to it it'll will work correctly. it happens once every 10-20 games I click through, so wasn't sure if it's just me or a new bug introduced in the newest version of lauchbox.🤷‍♂️

Looks great!

Thanks for the reply but I think you misinterpreted my question. Maybe I'm explaining it wrong. If I'm using theme #1 I can save a different View for every platform within that theme. However. If i switch to using Theme #2 and start customizing views using the new theme and then switch back to theme #1 all the views will be using the incorrect settings, because I changed them while using theme #1. So I was asking if there's a way to save each theme's view customizations independently of one another so they don't share the same settings.

Haven't been able to figure it out, so assuming there's still no way to use multiple custom views for more than a single platform. Is the only file which saves all the views the Platform.xml in the data folder? if so ill just keep multiple copies of that and swap between them when needed.

Does Bigbox have the ability to save individual platform views for multiple themes yet? Before it was able to save one theme with a custom view for every individual platform, but when opening another theme you had to set in the options menu that every platform use the same view, otherwise if you changed the individual platform views using the "V" key it would mess up the original themes custom views.

Is it possible to make the platform wheels not fade out completely and be the same as the games wheels when you're within a system looking at the games? They seem to fade to about 25% which i personally like if it's possible.

The theme seems to be broken after the recent update. i get the error in the screenshot. Not sure 100% if its the theme or launchbox is just bugged in general but figured id ask if anyone else is having this issue with this theme. also none of the themes views work anymore as if they cant be found so the views revert back to default views

When in big box (if I forget to run BB as administrator) and try to run a game which needs to be run as administrator I will get the error " The requested operation required elevation", which is normal, but the issue is that once I receive this error I will no longer be able to use the escape key to back out of the game and I'll be stuck on the current screen forever unless I force quit BigBox.

Saw they posted this on the main page over at emumovies, so assuming it's still being worked on🙃

Been a couple weeks now for me. Takes about 3 min like u say to scrape emumovies in game edit menu.

Mines been doing this also since the recent update. Only happens when searching emumovies for a single game in the game edit menu, but isn't happening when importing games during the import process.

Anyone figure out the command line parameter to be able to mount a floppy save disk? Some games need them like Dungeons and Dragons & Alone in the Dark. Works fine using the GUI mounting the blank floppy disk, but have no idea how to do it using the command line in launch box to get certain games to work/save 😵

You'll probably have to convert them all to folder format XISOs, then to XISO.isos using these 2 batch codes from another post I started. It should work though. Just save each string of code in a text file and save it as .bat, and then run them when they're in the same folder as the games..... Batch Code To convert Multiple XISO Folder Formatted games (games must be 1 word no spaces) to XISO.isos is: FOR /D %%d in (*) DO extract-xiso -c %%d and then Batch Code from Multiple ISO's or XISO.iso's back to XISO Folder Formatted Games is: FOR %%f in (*.iso) DO extract-xiso "%%f"

I used bulk rename utility to replace all spaces with dashes so I could run the batch file. Then once it was done converting I used the program to replace all dashes to spaces again😁. Here's the link to the program... https://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/

Nice! I like the theme being able to see all the extra info. Is there any way to add number of players rather than play mode? Or just show both?

So just as a recap.... Batch Code To convert Multiple XISO Folder Formatted games (games must be 1 word no spaces) to XISO.isos is: FOR /D %%d in (*) DO extract-xiso -c %%d and then Batch Code from Multiple ISO's or XISO.iso's back to XISO Folder Formatted Games is: FOR %%f in (*.iso) DO extract-xiso "%%f" I've included the 2 batch files as well for anyone to download who needs them. Just put the .bat files and the extract-xiso.exe in the same folder with your games. Thanks for your help! @JoeViking245 Convert All XISO.ISO's to Folder XISO's Bat.batConvert All Folder XISO's to XISO.ISO's Bat.bat

your command works to convert an xiso back into a folder without any errors... extract-xiso "joes_game.iso" So to convert multiple XISO's back into XISO.ISO format this is what worked for the bat file for anyone how needs to know FOR %%f in (*.iso) DO extract-xiso "%%f"

just curious but how would I use the same command on iso's if I wanted to convert the XISO's back to XISO folder format? tried this but it wont work.... FOR %%d in (*.iso) DO extract-xiso -x %%d I used the -x because in the notes for extract-xiso.exe it said -x is to extract and -c is to create, but I've tried with and without -x and it wont work, so figured maybe i was using the wrong code in general to scan through and run commands on .iso files.

@JoeViking245 It worked perfectly! thanks! This simple code can speed things up so much for everyone who's downloaded all the xbox xiso folder formatted games from internet archive. lol At first I thought it wasn't working, but then realized each game needs to be a single word with no spaces, and I think 8 characters or less as well. so after I fixed the folder names it worked smoothly. thanks again!

Awesome thanks! I'll try it when I get home and let you know if it worked. 😁

I've searched everywhere online and seems a lot of people are asking the same question, so would be awesome if anyone can help. I'm trying to convert Xbox folder format games to Xiso's using the extract-xiso tool. Basically the command is... ./extract-xiso -c ./(game folder name) Then an xiso will be created in the same directory for the specified game folder which was is in that same directory. I just need to know how to make a batch file which will run the same command over and over for every game folder that's within the same directory the batch file is in, without having to type the name of each folder manually and run the program a thousand times. Hope that makes sense if not I'll be more than happy to clarify further. Thanks! Also, here's a link to the program I'm needing a batch file for if it helps... https://github.com/XboxDev/extract-xiso

@neil9000 Well as I originally mentioned theres a significant amount of art for super gameboy as well as videos which could be synced from emumovies, which is worth making it its own platform for syncing simplicity alone. Yes it's just an attachment to super nintendo, but the logic for adding it as a platform isn't about weather it's an "actual platform", it's simply to make it easy for people to download and organize their artwork and videos. It would also encourage people to make new art. Can't see the downside to making things easier🤷‍♂️

thanks. I already have the Symlinks setup the same way as in the link you sent, so not sure what antimicro is looking for, but ill try to track it down. The games all work fine with or without the symlinks. its just antimicro at this point.

I tried creating a symbolic link for "C64 Dreams" in the root launchbox folder hoping I could have the games load from my NAS server the same way exodos is setup to run from an external network drive/server, but I get this error (Antimicro error: this applications failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows" in ""). aside from the error the games still load and play just fine, but i'd like to fix the error since it happens every time if you have any idea why its popping up. Everything works great if I don't use a symbolic link. Was just trying to save space on the launchbox drive.

After spending tons of time trying to get the 30k c64 romset to be user friendly i came across your "c64 dreams" collection, and I love the work you've put into this. It's really clean compared to the set I had in launchbox already which wasn't very user friendly. Thanks for all the hard work, kuz I can only imagine the time you spent on this. Haven't noticed any bugs so far. Can't wait for your future updates!
