Currently there's no way to do this. It's something we've considered but the are no systems in place at the moment to start idle animations in a FlowControl like that

If you're using the FlowContext/FlowModel controls no the RotationAmount on FlowControl doesn't work. To rotate the items you use the RotationAxis and RotationAngle on those controls to determine the rotation amount. You can use the other properties like "IsAboveSelected" and "IsBelowSelected" or use existing converters to make that rotation amount different for each item to replicate the older method. That being said the older method still is completely valid way to theme and so the existing property could be used. There's no real advantage to NOT using the old methods if you are just adding a single static image to the wheel per game.

Games are considered duplicates if the same file or LB GamesDB ID is assigned to more than one game. I need to check the code again to remember if it flags items as duplicates if the rom file is found as an additional app in another game or not.

Ah apologies didn't read that you are looking to have it work in CTC. I'm unsure if it's possible to do this in CTC or would it would require if it was possible as I don't use that application.

Need to make sure you have the "coverFlow" namespace defined at the top of the file. Ensure you have the following with the other lines that start with xmlns xmlns:coverFlow="clr-namespace:Unbroken.LaunchBox.Windows.Controls.CoverFlow;assembly=Unbroken.LaunchBox.Windows" Other than that what you have looks accurate. Is there something specifically not working?

They show in the carousel control that displays the videos and screenshots. If you're using Old Default (or a theme based on it) it wouldn't have this control and wouldn't be displayed in it.

Set the game manual path in the Edit Game Window

Do you have the media limit set in the Download Metadata/Media wizard?

Correct. The way media is selected is we go from highest priority type to lowest in the group priority and randomly pick an item from all items that exist in that priority level.

The image types used in this theme are: Your grid image choice (typically Box Front) Fanart - Background Clear Logo Screenshots (in the details carousel) Video (in the details carousel)

Steps to downgrade from 13.0: Close LaunchBox/Big Box Navigate to \\LaunchBox\Data\ and delete InputBindings.xml Run the installer for the version you want to change to LaunchBox will be reverted. You WILL need to reset any controller bindings though.

There are 3 badges pertaining to additional apps. The one you've linked is the least relevant to the scenario you posted. The badges are: Has Documents - This looks for additional applications that are clearly documents for the game (looks at the file extension to determine it) Has Multiple Discs - Has several additional applications with the "Disk" metadata set to a number (this is the badge image you posted) Has Additional Apps - This is the badge that shows on any game with multiple apps that are deemed a game version

Yeah, CHAOS gets around this by making the grid image the first image in the CBR/CBZ file (which should be a cover if it has one)

Cool, glad you were able to get it sorted.

If the theme uses the standard controls carts would should instead of boxes for all platforms you're using the Cart Image Group for inside of LaunchBox. If you want to see carts in the wheels (instead of clear logo) that can be set in Big Box using the "Game Image Type" setting. (I believe is in View page, but I haven't looked to confirm).

CHAOS has two executables. One is the library app (similar to LaunchBox) and the other is a stand alone reader application. The reader accepts command line arguments and so COULD be used as an "emulator" inside of LaunchBox for any CBR/CBZ files you add as games. You can also set the reader executable as the default app for those image types so when you open the documents in LaunchBox it uses CHAOS reader for it. We will not be adding any functionality to LaunchBox exclusively for this product though, the two projects are completely separate and at this time we want to keep a pretty well defined separation between the two as to not confuse anyone.

This is almost always caused by one of the following: You have a service called "nahimic" running on your computer and need to open task manager and disable it then restart Big Box OR You are using an Intel integrated graphics card and need to use the intel control panel to set AntiAliasing to either always on or always off for Big Box

LaunchBox should be renaming the cfg files to match your rom name. When doing so it it's done for the games main application path and I don't believe we created cfg's for alternate applications so changing which app is primary would break the config and require you to run the wizard again.

Can you confirm the cfg file name? The filename shown in your config doesn't match the cue file. Your cue file has language metadata that the image doesn't.

You need to verify that the bezels WERE downloaded, that they were placed for the same emulator you're running, and that the game in question is named the same (filename without extension) as the bezel file. There are also some RetroArch configuration settings that would potentially disable the bezel as well.

What you're describing isn't really how your computers memory works. The OS tends to not clean out memory unless it has to, and if it needs memory but you don't have any it moves items stored in RAM over to your page file. Other processes are affected FAR more by CPU usage than they ever are RAM. You could attempt to increase your page file size if you're concerned, but it sounds like you have other resource bottle necks in your system.

When wondering what file types are supported by a RetroArch core simply google "libretro {core_name} doc" (without quotes, and replace {core_name} with the name of the core in question). First link will almost always be the emulators documentation and there should be a quick index on the right of the screen to jump to support filetypes.

Where are you wanting to see the cartridge?

You got a lot going on in your posts and I'm not entirely sure what you did to fix it. If you know what changed to make things work and can explain it to me, I should be able to help find the easiest way to handle it. Right now though I'm not real clear what you did.

That isn't a typical LaunchBox error message. We sure it's LaunchBox throwing up that window and not the emulator you're using?
