If the emulator you're pointing us to isn't MAME (and the correct version for your romset) I can see this being an issue. We ask the executable to produce a xml file we use to parse the data for the games you're importing. If not an official MAME release that command may not work, or may output data in a format that could cause issues.

When the error pops up can you copy/paste it's contents to this post? There are a lot of potential causes for a null reference like that and the stack trace provided in that window will be crucial in determining the cause for the error.

This behavior is driven by the theme. The property that drives it is called "Endless" and is located on the FlowControl of the view (there is only ever one so finding it is pretty easy). You simple need to either change the existing Endless property to false, or add a Endless="False" property to the FlowControl.

We are actively looking into this, I'll let you know when any changes make it into a beta release and ping you to see if you can confirm if the changes improve the situation.

Ah that makes sense. The image color profile may not be what WPF expects it to be and so when it reads the value they aren't coming out as intended by the original image. Using a tool like GIMP you can convert the color profile pretty easily.

Depending on what version you're using if you deleted your settings file you need to re-enable videos in the Options menu.

Been a minute since I did the theme but I'm pretty positive it has video playback if you have any videos to play for the title. I use TrueVert on my pin cab and it plays the vid, and that theme is the same as FauxVert with all the fake rotation stuff ripped out.

A lot of the filters are driven by INI's of various sources and are placed in the \\LaunchBox\ThirdParty\MAME\ directory. If you're using the newest set during import it may be worthwhile to take a look in that folder and google each of those filenames and grab the most recent ones and replace the ones in that folder with them. Typically they come out within a week of the MAME release. Grabbing these will make sure we have the most up-to-date metadata to work with to help those filters work as well as possible.

Big Box doesn't have any settings to rotate it in app. It'll match whatever orientation the monitor it's sitting on is at. I have a theme available for download on this site called FauxVert that will however render vertically on a Landscape monitor which would function that way

Yeah, right now though the URL hasn't changed throughout all of the Steam endpoints. Your profile and games list both still work without the h, the same cannot be said about your games list with it.

Can you verify the URL in your steam options. I noticed when I went into your games list that the URL dropped the h at the end of your profile name (showing as Garosat, not Garosath). I'd assume this is causing the issue. Alternatively you could drop the h in LaunchBox and see if that works.

In RetroArch controls you need to make sure you're using "RetroPad with Analog" then set the Analog to Digital Type to Left Analog for the stick to emulate the dpad

No, currently that's not possible. The feature as is does allow you to use a different theme than you main theme however you can easily use theme 1 for everything BUT that platform and just use theme 2 for that specific one. If you're in a situation where you just can't decide between two themes though I admit it won't help you much.

I'd vet the causes outlined in this thread Looks like something either caused by Nahimic running or a Intel XE graphics driver issue.

Platforms can remember both the Theme AND View you set them to. Similar to how you're using Change View you can also use the Change Theme button to change that platforms theme as well.

So your monitor is landscape, but physically rotated correct? If so you can check out my FauxVert theme I made for that specific use case.

You'd need to ask on that theme. Theme's don't HAVE to use your settings and that one may have hard coded text on or off. I'm not real familiar with that theme to be able to tell you what was done.

Where did you get the installer and are you sure it's the PC installer and not Android? The PC installer is an executable file so unsure how'd you be seeing that error.

Auto-populate playlists don't need to be manually refreshed. They query your library for all games that meet the parameters every time you select them. Auto-populated and Auto-generated (playlist LB makes for you) do not appear in the context menu you're showing.

@Jair I'd recommend clearing your image cache via Big Box Options menu just to confirm you aren't actually looking at two different images (well technically you are anyway, but I mean that the cache isn't from an outdated image). Depending on how that theme is set up the wheel and the details image could be loading different source files entirely.

I mean you've already been given two ways to do exactly what you're asking so not entirely sure how you came to that conclusion. I personally just use the startup folder method on my cab since I also start a few other apps as well and do it that way worked well enough I didn't bother trying to shell Big Box.

Not natively. Pretty sure we have a plugin available in the download section that allows for that functionality

Can you provide a screenshot? I've not heard of anyone reporting any issue. If you're referring to background images though there is a "Background Fade" setting that can be tweaked if using either of the Default themes. They both use it to control how bright the background is to help make text in the foreground more readable.

Make sure the name of the image matches the platform. For example if your platform is named "Atari ST" you need the file to be named that as well not "AtariST". Also you'll want to clear out your image cache via the options menu.

Nah no real need to ever have anti-aliasing on in Big Box. That's an interesting work around though. I'll have to keep that in mind if I see it come up again.
