from MAME command. I have a lot on my control panel lol

This is what I get when in MAME and copy. Player 1 Gun6 \\?\HID#VID_0483&PID_5750&MI_00&Col01#8&38255be8&0&0000#{378de44c-56ef-11d1-bc8c-00a0c91405dd} Player 2 Gun2 \\?\HID#VID_0483&PID_5751&MI_00&Col01#9&23770f6c&0&0000#{378de44c-56ef-11d1-bc8c-00a0c91405dd} What should I copy in my custom cfg? These are Retroshooter reaper guns When I reboot pc or MAME the gun# will change for them. Trying to get stable IDs. Also want to save the trigger IDs for them

OK so after rebooting the pc MAME didn't remember the IDs of the guns. They changed again the IDs. I need to find out what the proper format for the cfg. Do I need to set to read only for the default cfg for mame? https://docs.mamedev.org/advanced/devicemap.html

OK that seemed to work. Now to turn off and reboot a few times my pc to see if it works. I set the mapdevice.cfg to read only

Do I need to include all my controllers? I just wanted to add the light guns. The other controllers are connected to a IPac and it remembers those. Does my cfg look correct in the attachment?

did that but I get that error I mentioned above

OK been trying to figure this out for the past few days and sill can't get it to work. I created a cfg file and placed it in the mame cfg folder. I changed the mame.ini ctrl part to the name of the cfg (mapdevice). When I launch MAME I get Fatal Error: Could not load controller configuration file mapdevice.cfg. I attached the files below. I'm sure something is wrong in the cfg. Any help would be great. My gun IDs keep changing when the system powers off. Even if my USB power-hub never shuts off it still changes the IDs for the guns. mapdevice.cfgmame.ini

I did your suggestion and just went through every Mame game and hid all the adult mature content games. Works great the Ctrl Alt H.

I might just have two different platform xml files. Just swap them in the data folder when kids come over and vs versa.

So if I just choose one game and I right click-edit then I can chose hide. How would I un-hide that game?

Thanks for the reply. Tried to PM you but you're not excepting messages. Seems like a lot of steps to complete this.

I know you can exclude these games when imported from MAME. My question is I would like to keep these games but hide them when young kids are around. Anyway to do this in LB or BB?

So when I right click on a platform the option doesn't show up? Does it have to do with theme support? Had to be on platform category

So this has been bother me for a while also. Not just this theme but others once in a while this section pulsates. Only way to fix it is if I adjust the size of the area either bigger or smaller. Anyone gets this? lol 2024-12-28 17-34-51.mkv

That was my next move. Wanted a video of me playing GoldenTeeLive 2010.

Works in other platforms but not Teknoparrot. Anyone have a fix for this when using in Launchbox?

That's what I did. I just turned it off. It actually slows down my load time lol

I noticed that Jungle Hunt is also not saving high scores for Launchbox

So when I have my startup themes active I noticed that on at least one system (GameCube) you can hear the game in the background but it's not showing. Any work around to fix this? I will edit post if other systems are effected. UPDATE: It has to do with running Rocketlauncher and Dolphin emulator. Like to use this option for bezel support.

Just want to say thank you JoeViking. Seems like every time I have a weird issue you are there to solve the problem. Many thanks and I am very appreciative.

I'll check it out. At least I know what was causing LB to crash. Thanks again

Only way it works is if I keep it unchecked the suspend emulation for it not to crash. But MAME will run in the background. Game doesn't pause. I would have to use my MAME pause key (F5) to pause the game first. Then use the LB pause key (P) to get in the Pause theme. At least it works on arcade and no software list games. Guess I can't have my cake and eat it too. Having the same pause key will not work. MAME will run in background. If I check suspend emulation then it will crash.

Old thread but F3 and S worked for me.

OK so after trial and errors I finally have it working on both sides. Arcade and and non software list. The problem was I have to have the Pause button be the same on MAME and LB. I also had to have it checked, unchecked in the pics below. If I had that suspend emulation checked it would crash. If I didn't it would work but MAME would still have the game running in background. That's why they needed to have the same pause key. Damit. MAME is still running in the background when I hit the Pause key in LB. If I check suspend emulation it crashes. So the option for me is pause MAME emulator first with its own Pause key and the use LB pause key button. To bad there isn't a way to have both use the same Pause key button. I can't check the suspend emulator or I'm back to square one.
