You can just hide options behind the lock, that way you can simply have shutdown/reboot on the menu

Just wanted to revisit the question above - I tried an import by just taking the zip files, extracting them and then using the MS-DOS import but (as suspected) the vast majority of games didn't get found by Launchbox in the DB. And that's before I even tried running them (I have no idea if Exodos is running any wizardry...) How can I export a list of games from a working Exodos LB setup into a different machine?

Thanks - I shall look forward to it! In the meantime, at least I know I'm not missing anything

Is there a better way of filtering in big box? I had some guests today and I have a two player playlist and and racing game playlist, but not the combined, and I really struggled to find a two player racing game when someone asked In theory the filters should work but I couldn't find one for player count and most of them require typing which at least to me many things are non obvious At the very least I expected those to populate from existing values rather than typing! Am I missing a trick? Or is that it?

I have an odd issue with Mame that when I pause the game and unpause (with the BB Pause screen) it freezes for anything between a few seconds up to maybe 30seconds... It always resumes but it's a bit odd Anyone know why this might be? Pause without LB pause is fine!

Sorry to revisit this thread - I have a machine with Exodos installed (and only Exodos) and I want to move _a subset_ (currently in a playlist, ~60 games) to a different machine with an existing Launchbox setup Is there an easy way / step by step to do this? I've already embarked on copying the zip files and trying to recreate the directory structure but I realise I'm going to lose a bunch of stuff and no idea how much of that will autodownload... Thanks

Okay fair enough - will give it a try I'm only using the machine for BigBox - its an arcade cab - so this seems geared to me as a user, but I'm just not sure the pros/cons What happens if I need to exit big box to load LB and add some games or whatever?

Slightly off topic but I've been using BB as a startup item - what's the benefit of doing things this way? And is it likely to cause me any issues with launching things?

Yup, that seems to be the one for Platforms - looks like i need to backup the whole playlist directory as well if I've changed theme on those

This is a bit of an odd one, but I've tried pretty much every option to troubleshoot. If I disable Launchbox Pause I can happily use LEDBlinky's controls speech in MAME when I pause, however when using LB Pause, something stops it from working I've tried disabling/enabling the pause options but the only thing that seems to work is disabling the pause screen all together (Which I don't want) Anyone else come across this issue and managed to troubleshoot? Thanks

I use my BigBox as the frontend for my arcade cab - at the moment I shut it down which means that I have around a minute cold boot to get up and running I was wondering if it's safe to simply have my power button sleep or hibernate instead so that it boots back up to the action much quicker?

Thanks @Retro808 but that's not quite what I'm looking for If I look at BigBoxSettingsOverrides for say RetroMags (which I use for my Favorites) it just has <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> <LaunchBox> <BigBoxSettings> <GamesListView>TextListWithDetails</GamesListView> <PlatformsListView>TextListWithDetails</PlatformsListView> </BigBoxSettings> </LaunchBox> This seems to be storing the choice of what view I'm using it with, but not what I'm actually using it for Somewhere there must be a file which shows Favoites uses RetroMags, Platforms uses StationEmulation etc?

I currently have a different themes for a few different platforms, and my main platform wheels etc and I'd like to back up these options before trying out a new theme across everything - so I can easily revert Where is this information stored? Thanks!
