Yeah, either change your view in options or bind the "Change View" hotkey to something and you can change the view on the fly while in the games list. I don't believe the new default has a Horizontal Box view and was just displaying the one from Old Default. If you wanted to continue to use it you can also bind "Change Theme" and turn on "Remember View per Platform" then make all your platforms use Old Default Horizontal Box View while using new default everywhere else

Yeah. @faeran and I have to draw straws at some point before release to see who the lucky soul is that gets to update the theme documentation with all the new bindings and converters.... Essentially those bindings are for the individual items that are displayed in details. You now have a binding for the full string, a binding for the value, and a binding for the visibility of each item that can be displayed in filter, platform, or game details views. This way theme devs can now render those details outside of the details view, or rearrange that view however they see fit.

Right now we force theme settings for Default to match what views the new default uses. Are you referring to Horizontal Boxes view, a horizontal game wheel, or something else?

Not entirely sure what you mean, but the Default theme that is being presented in this beta WILL become the new Default theme for Big Box. The default theme from 12.13 and older will become "Old Default"

Yeah, the issue is because in German you're decimal character is different than ours and it ticked off some of the new logic and converters. I have it squared away and corrected now. Hoping to get another beta out tomorrow with the changes.

Thanks for the help @RetroGamerGER weird that the correction fixes it for you in one spot but not all of them... I'll take a look and see if we can get it cleaned up.

@Jackdefjam @RetroGamerGER @Rlad @cheguewara Your reported issues should be corrected in this beta release. Please review and let us know if this release corrects your issues or not.

Yep. Was culture specific. Corrected the logic and should be working in next beta release.

@RetroGamerGER @Jackdefjam Can you explain what you're doing when you see that popup? Sounds like just backing up to the new theme. Does look a bit like it could be related to the language difference so least gives me a good point to look. Thanks for the report.

I tend to use adb.arcadeitalia.net they have a pretty extensive search filter system and you can search just for items requiring a CHD file

Hey @Aj67 I briefly checked the OdinHandheld subreddit and found this post here where a user is having the same issue you are with Arc Browser and a few other apps. One comment in that subreddit states that Ayn has reached out to one user stating this is a known firmware bug and will be resolved in a future update, another comment helps explain how one user was able to grant LaunchBox special permissions that allowed them to access the files they needed. May give you a work around in the meantime.

Thanks for the reports. I have been able to confirm the cause for most of these reports and another beta will be out soon to correct. If I run into a report I can't replicate I'll ping the reporter so we can get more information and get the issue resolved. We appreciate you all taking the time to download the beta and report these issues. This beta especially has a FAR larger number of files updated, added, or removed than most of our releases so appreciate having the extra eyes on it.

Typically people that have posted this issue have resolved it uninstalling .NET Core runtime (and SDK if installed) via Add/Remove Programs, then restarting their computer, then running the .NET Core 3.1 Runtime installer from here and then restarting their computer again. I'm unsure what causes the corruption in the system that makes it not detect that .NET core is installed.

I own an Odin pro and getting PS2 to run through AetherSX2 was a pretty painless experience and plays the games well (least the ones I've played)

In my cab I have a xinput encoder but I STILL run x360ce to help with a lot of weird controller issues. Also helps customize controls in titles I may not have been able to. I even use it to trick Big Box into thinking my controls are laid out differently than they are in other games so that I can navigate the menus seamlessly whether using the arcade control configuration or the side pinball buttons. Not sure it will solve ALL your problems, but it's helped make any issues I had far more manageable.

We realize the website is starting to show it's age and has a lot of improvements that could be made to it. We are actively seeking to expand our team with a web developer that could help make such requests a reality. More information about that position can be found here (apologies for the shameless plug):

Doing what you did should remove it. If you aren't seeing them gone when you restart your machine you probably have "-backup.xml" files in your data folder that don't belong there causing the issue.

You already get this controller information when scraping Nintendo Wii games. You can then use the auto-populate playlists, on the fly filter, or manage controller menus to help you find which game has which controller

I don't know of any released cocktail mode themes. I believe it should be possible via WPF/XAML though. Essentially you would create the theme on the bottom half of the screen then use a visual brush to draw that same theme on the top half but with it's render transform rotated 180 degrees.

Some third party virus scanners have been quarantining part of the installer. AVG and Avast have both now caused some issues for users. If you are using a third party virus scan I would temporarily turn it off, run the install, then turn it back on.

Were you looking for an Android theme or a Big Box one?

Close LaunchBox, then navigate to \\LaunchBox\Data\ and delete the ImageQueue.xml file. Then restart LaunchBox. Deleting this file will stop the downloads from attempting to start again when you open LaunchBox

We have a video on our YT channel but it's quite a bit outdated. @JoeViking245 may be able to get you you an empty .sln file that you can start with. As long as you're familiar with Visual Studio getting the classes for the plugin DLL is pretty easy. All the names are fairly straightforward, but if you get that far and still need help feel free to ask on the forums and I'm sure I or one of the other plugin devs can get your questions answered.

Wrong language, but yeah the logic isn't hard. If you want it added to the app officially you would need to request a feature, and even then it may be a while before you see any traction on an item like that as it's a pretty niche use case. Would be faster just to ask a plugin dev if they'd consider making the plugin for you.

Problem you're stating and this thread don't read even close to the same. That thread is talking about not being able to run LaunchBox directly off an SD card formatted as external storage. You're talking about a new feature that was put in about a week ago which simply changes the ROM's application path folder from one folder to another (like the feature does in LB Windows)
