I have the same issue, but none of the keyboard shortcuts work for me in the audit window, not even delete. But my KB works everywhere else in LB.

Like "Aggressors of Dark Kombat / Tsuukai GANGAN Koushinkyoku", no other platform has both the US and Japanese names like this. It's very annoying and makes importing image packs pretty much useless for the platform. Can this be changed in settings somewhere?

That makes perfect sense, thank you so much. I don't have any so I'll leave that disabled from now on.

When importing a game there is the option "Look up PDF files for use as the game manual", but there's already an option to download manuals from EmuMovies. What is the option "Look up PDF files for use as the game manual" for? If it downloads PDF files, then why isn't this option available on the "Update Metadata and Media for selected games" tool? Is there any way to use the "Look up PDF files for use as the game manual" option, on games that have already been imported, or do I have to reimport all of my games to use that option?

This section of the forum is for showing off your collection, as in your setup. Media like this should be uploaded to the downloads section, not uploaded to the forums.

The vast majority of users are on a TV or monitor, not an arcade cabinet.

Thank you! WiiFlow has 3D boxes and it’s one of the coolest features have seen in a front end. Ever since I’ve used WiiFlow I’ve wanted 3D boxes in LaunchBox and BigBox. If anyone is doubting how awesome this would be, just look up a video of WiiFlow.

It’s been stated multiple times that this is not the place to make feature requests:

I could see myself using this, I rarely use LB to play games anymore, I use it more as a database now. I don't own a MiSTer yet, but I plan on getting one to supplement the consoles I don't own yet. It would be cool to have LB on one screen for choosing a game, and have that game launch on the MiSTer. If only there was some way for LB to do this with EverDrives and ODEs. My dream would be to choose a game in BigBox and have BigBox tell my Home Assistant to turn on that specific console, then launch the game on that console. I own 24 consoles so far, and all of them are automated in Home Assistant for power and input switching (I keep all of them powered on, and use smart outlets for powering on and off). I have EverDrives, ODEs or HDDs on all of my consoles, which is why I don't use LB for playing anymore. I prefer real hardware over emulation. But EverDrives and ODEs don't have the artwork and metadata that LB has, so it would be nice to utilize all of that together. Probably never gonna happen though.

Your buttons are RGB so they combine red blue and green to create white. Your trackball is white and used a white LED to create white. If you want RGB buttons that are true white you will need either RGBW or RGBWW LEDs, which contain a dedicated white LED. RGBWW contain two dedicated white LEDs, one warm and one cool, allowing even greater control over the white color.

I have an unorthodox LB setup, my platform categories are by manufacturers, so Nintendo, Sega, Sony, etc. instead of the usually Console, Handheld, etc. I created background videos in the style of the Colorful set for each manufacturer, but with black backgrounds instead of colors. So currently they come up black with a green bar on the left side, from the default green color. I’ll probably just have to wait for the Community Theme Creator files. It’s a shame it can’t use the styles xml, that was such a great solution.

That directory doesn't exist with this version of the theme, so I created it and added the xml file from your version of the theme and it still doesn't work. I tried naming the directory "style" and "styles" but neither worked.

There's a glitch where COLORFUL_Styles.xaml is randomly ignored for subcategories. For example sometimes SNES has the correct color for subcategories and sometimes it doesn't (This can happen with any platform's sub categories, not just SNES). Normal: Glitched:

Is there a way to edit the styles like in the original version?

Yeah I do, I think LB chooses alt and revisions as the default. I import betas and prototypes separately because LB tries to make those default. When I import those I use the option to not import duplicates, that way only betas and protos that weren’t released get imported.

Yeah it was automatic. 99.9% of the No-Intro sets combine correctly for me, including the Donkey Kong Country games. How long ago did you try? I recently re-imported my entire collection without much issue.

I spent 3+ years scouring the web for artwork, so every game has at least a box front and screenshot. My platforms are separated by manufacturer. Each platform has every game imported, with North America being the priority region, and every other version as an additional app. Every regional exclusive outside of North America is in their own playlist. So for example if you load into my setup you’re presented with Microsoft, NEC, Nintendo, etc (there’s also All Favorites and Playlists categories listed on the root menu with the manufacturers). Click on NEC and you’re presented with TurboGrafx-16, TurboGrafx-CD, SuperGrafx, and PC-FX. Click on TurboGrafx and you’re presented with Favorites, All Games, North America, Europe, Japan, Genres, Play Modes.

Yup Plex is the way to go.

I’ve already done this myself with the theme specific options. When I switch to one theme all games are shown even if they're hidden, when I switch to another theme all hidden games are hidden. If it’s already there on the theme level, it’s possible to do on the system level. A simple check box labeled something like “Hide blocked games while locked” would suffice to enable or disable the option.

I personally would prefer hiding games, there’s so many games with porn covers that I want hidden when locked. I think we should have both options, to just lock, and to hide while lock.
