If already imported: Select all games you want to change Right click and select edit Select Platform field in the mass edit wizard Enter name of the Platform you want them moved to Moving forward (is in the current beta build), the Steam Import Wizard will ask you what platform you want to import into.

Would need to create two "Additional Applications" in your Pinball FX3 game. First one would be easy. Just point it to the application you need to start and check the "Automatically run before Main Application". Then would need to add a second app that shuts down the antimicro process and check the "Automatically run after Main Application". That being said running it though Steam MAY make that more difficult because Launchbox tends to see the initial pop up that Steam launches as the game process instead of the game itself so the "After Main App" app would likely fire prematurely.

You had the right right idea, just type at symbol and the username, pick it from the list that comes up. No, Big Box does not play/draw the emulator in it's screen. It opens the emulator. Most people use Retroarch because it easier to keep up to date and does 10ft interface well. Also defaults to most of the settings you would want anyway. If not using retroarch I'd pick an emulator that can either be told to launch fullscreen (exclusive if you can) via the command line, or in the settings.

Try the Old Default theme, do you still see it there? You may be having issues with the Dynamic Box Sizing the new theme uses.

What are you calling lag? What specific issues are you seeing and when do you see them? I have a collection of around 28k games and the only time I notice any significant slow downs is when I am rebuilding the cache.

No not at the moment. I think Jason has on his list to change some of that code but unsure where it is in priority. If it bugs you that much there a tons of free online tools that generate online text images. Use of them to create one and then add it to the game as a clear logo

The theme is not driving that font. That is a fallback clear logo image Big Box makes for games asking for a clear logo image in a game that does not have one and cannot be changed via a theme.

We use the GOG API to get all the images, would assume they use a redirect on their end that we don't have access to. I'll take a look at the API calls and see what we can do to help with it.

Not at this time. The only time an OR statement is used is when you use the same filter type more than once, and even then it is only used within that field set.

Your RAM is kinda low simply because Big Box is a WPF application that loads quite a few resources into memory and so you could be hard pressed with 4GB. I have an Alienware Alpha I reformatted which has a i3-4130T in it and I have no issues running Big Box and games with it so would think the CPU is fine. As long as their isn't any known issues with that card/driver with WPF I would assume it would be fine. There are far more hardware-centric people who are far more knowledgeably than I am in that department but I don't see any red flags, but may be worth waiting a few hours to see if anyone else chimes in.

You already have it. It is in the same folder as LaunchBox. "BigBox.exe"

Sorry when you said it was in a cabinet I assumed you were using Big Box, don't know too many running LaunchBox in one.

Did you use the import tool to add them or manually type it in? Think you can PM me your Emulators.xml (located in \\Launchbox\Data\) and the xml for the platform you are having issues with. Will take a quick look and see if there anything obviously wrong in either causing the issue.

Where are your rom files located?

Sounds like you have tried a lot of things, none of which are related to the error message you are seeing. "Specified ROM path not found" means that LaunchBox cannot find the ROM file in the place you told it that it would be in. Typically caused by 2 issues, either file permissions doesn't allow LaunchBox to see the file in it's location OR the rom isn't where you told it to look.

There a reason you can't just use the "Sleep" menu item inside of Big Box's main menu to do it?

Hey @ricebow, sounds like you decided to take the plunge and try out LaunchBox after all, glad to have ya. Typically performance issues for new users can be tied to 2 things. The first is the image cache. Until that is built you WILL notice delays and slowness while the cache builds. Typically when the cache is building you will see a small green bar at the top of LaunchBox. Once the cache has been built you won't see that issue. One thing to note is resizing boxes reset cache (as well as a few other actions) so when doing so expect the performance to be affected for a small while after doing so. The second are auto-generated playlists. Because of how they work we poll your games library every time a change is made which can cause a lot of delays. It is usually best for performance to create those once done importing all your games. If they still cause significant performance degridation you can set them up as auto-gen, let them get the games they should have, then shut off the auto-gen. They will no longer automatically update with library changes but they do perform much faster. Once done importing and making changes (when your library is "complete") it is generally better performance to just turn them into manual playlists.

Could you go into Device Manager and find your controller in the Human Interface Devices and tell me what your Hardware Id's are? Then go into Control Panel > Devices and tell me if you see it there and what category it is in. If possible right click and tell me if there is a "Game Controller Settings". If there is go in there and there should be a tab that allows you to test the inputs, could you confirm that pressing the buttons on the physical device lights up the correct corresponding button in that window? IF Windows recognizes the two sides as separate controllers worth doing it for both. Also worth making sure pressing one side doesn't affect the other in that window.

Coming in a bit late and I admit @Retro808 hardware knowledge far exceeds mine but I find it odd that you have to set up Steam to use XInput. Why isn't Windows recognizing the controllers AS XInput devices immediately? If the OS doesn't recognize the controllers as X or D Input Controllers I could see it causing issues. Could also see an issue if for some reason despite the two USB cords, if both are registering the same ID with the OS. The signals could be fighting each other (on side reporting button up the other reporting button down, and the first wins the race condition). I admit though, I'd have to do some research on how best to troubleshoot those and prove out what is or is not happening.

No. We want you to acknowledge your insult to our loving GamesDB that you don't think it's good enough, and then relive it EVERY time you try to import until you realize the errors of your ways!

Appears that the "Exit" automation was being used instead of "Close Active Window". "Exit" closes Big Box, "Close Active Window" closes the game.

https://forums.launchbox-app.com/forum/62-collections-and-builds/ This would be a good place to look.

Just want to check, did rerunning the .NET Framework runtime installer fix your issue then @artician?

@sundogak Could you let me know what Controller Mapping you are using to attempt to close the emulator? Also could you PM me your BigBoxSettings.xml file (located in \\Launchbox\Data\)

Would really be helpful if you could get a picture of the error message you are seeing. Also could you open your Settings.xml and look for the following: <DebugLog>true</DebugLog> and add it if not in. Then try again and look to see if there is a file in \\Launchbox\Logs and send me the most recent file in there. Can send both in a PM so we make sure no personal information is in either.
