    I've been trying for days now to get the custom views for each theme to work, but any changes I make to one theme effects all the themes, and big box isn't saving the custom settings for each theme. As far as I know the latest update was supposed to be able to have the Views be theme specific. Is anyone else having this problem, or anyone have any advice on how to get things working correctly? Thanks PS. This only happens when I have a theme set to use a separate view for each platform. if I have that box un-checked and let it just do the same view for every platform then it works without messing up other themes settings,

    been trying to figure it out all night but I cant get the theme specific views to work. Been using the unified theme, but when trying any other theme downloaded through the website if I change the views within the new theme then it messes up the views within the original Unified theme. do the themes need to be installed through the theme manager within bigbox to have theme specific settings? kuz so far ive just been downloading the themes through the website and dropping the folders into the themes folder.

    sometimes when backing out of a platform's game view the image that usually fades away after a few seconds wont disappear and the platform video plays behind the image never showing. Also is there a way to just skip those images from showing before the platform videos or at lease not showing for so long?

    either the last release or the one before stopped the movie scraper plugin from working (Posted the Link to it below). Is there any way of fixing it or does the person who made the plugin need to change it? doesn't seem like he logs in anymore. ?

    I have mine setup he way he does in the video, what he's doing is probably what I'm doing where the main system such as "genesis" is setup as a category in launchbox with 3 platforms nested inside of it. The 3 platforms would be genesis (u), megadrive (e) and megadrive (j) •GENESIS -Genesis (u) -megadrive (e) -megadrive (j)

    Be cool to see it integrated to add to the already great art and videos available

    Will there or is there a way to filter the missing content for specific systems only? Only ask kuz I have around 100k games and the results are enormous and would be so easy to work on specific systems one at a time.

    Using an XML file you can use Dan's hyperspin tools to search a rom directory and it will match all the roms to the names in the xml file, then you can manually match whatever it couldn't scrape on it's own within the program. Then the program will export all the newly named roms to a new folder for you. Only downside is i think (not 100% sure) you need hyperspin installed to use Dan's hyperspin tools kuz they need to be in the hyperspin folder to open for some reason. Also it only uses xml files so if you cant find the full game list in xml format you wont be able to use this program https://hyperspin-fe.com/files/file/11377-dons-hyperspin-tools-4326/

    Sounds kinda cool. Hyperspin attempted to have a list (hyperlists) of what games there were and would tell you what was missing inside rocket launcher. Be nice to have something similar which tells you which games are missing based off what's currently in the launchbox database, even if its not as pretty looking as greyed out box art.

    You might be able to sort the systems games by genre and then just highlight all the "Adult" games and click edit and then click hide. Then later just un-hide them.

    Xpadder support would be great to see so I can use different profiles per system/game for platforms which are difficult to setup a controller

    I would imagine you could just put the controls in the arcade controls folder for each system, unless you're just saying it looks sloppy to do it that way since the folder is called arcade controls.

    Is there any way to use this same code to load a FM-Towns mds/cue file into daemon tools after having launchbox extract the files from the zip? .... @echo off start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Lite\DTLite.exe" -mount 0, %1% start /wait "" "SSF.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Lite\DTLite.exe" -unmount 0
  15. darreldearth
    Does anyone have a more detailed version or link of how to get fm towns running through mame? kuz i've been trying all night and cant get it working and cant find any info on the internet about how to get it working. I heard it works in Retroarch also using the mame core but had no luck figuring that out either.

    The Plugin no longer works as of this week ?. I Tried copying in a new version of the latest update as well which didn't help. i'm running the newest version of launchbox (Not the beta version). i just get this error now.... here is what the error sais..... Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

    What do u think about custom themes to be created and displayed on the marquee monitor instead of a static image? kinda like the loading screens where you could have the disc spinning and show box art, clear logo and the background etc. Possibly even let videos be used for the marquee themes

    Ugh... that's a lot of work kuz I have around 7000 ps2 games bin/cue format. I'll probably try the batch file method to scan every zip file and delete the cue files unless another easier method can be found. Would be so much easier if we could just tell launchbox what file types to look for for each system in order of presence

    Good example of a reason you'd want to hide a platform is when you want to split a platform up into different playlists/categories such as (top level category <system>, then Japanese games, European games and usa games as categories under that, then multi disc games & single disc games under each of the 3 region categories as playlists) And then hide the original platform which has everything clumped together to make everything look pretty. That's just one example I could have used before, but I had to find a work around by making multiple platforms instead of just having 1 and using playlists. Still would make things waaaaaaay easier if any games with (disc 1), (disc 2) etc. In the title wrapped in parentheses could have separate entries in launchbox based off their disc number, similar to how launchbox pulls the region from parentheses, accept this would just keep the games consolidated under seperate listings based off their disc number. Currently I've had to add "- (Disc x)" to every game which was a multi disc game in the data files to keep them separate. Needless to say it forever.

    did anyone ever find a way to have the emulator load the bin by default instead of the cue file from the archives?
  22. darreldearth
    Yeah, normally it's fine. I only think the images should be copied when there is more than one game with the same title. Normally it wouldn't bother me but when I'm going through my collection trying to clean up around 100k games such as games which have been scraped incorrectly, games which I'm adding (disc 1) or (disc 2) to, or games which I just need to add something like the words "special edition" to it ends up taking a lot of time when the images for 4+ games all lose their images because I changed the name of a single game.

    I get this error every time i try to run the plugin... Could not find a part of the path "C:\Launchbox\emulators\kodi\portable_data\userdata\database" I have all my data currently in the roaming folder but i thought the plugin was able to pull the data from that folder also. do i need to make kodi portable in order to make this plugin work?

    If there are 2 or more games with the same name in launchbox and you rename one of them to something new then all the images attached to both games get renamed to the new renamed version of the game leaving the 2nd un-edited game which still retains the original name left without any images. launchbox should create a copy of the images which it renames when there is more than one entry with the same name.
  25. darreldearth
    Yeah that would help a lot and offer much more control over simply deleting everything blindly.
