After selecting the folder click on the text box and erase one character then put it back. Does it work then?

Sounds like a metadata file is corrupted. Could you try the following: Close LaunchBox Go to \\LaunchBox\Data folder If there is an ImageQueue.xml file in that delete it Reopen LaunchBox to go Tools > Download > Force Update Games Database Metadata Then you should be able to run the Download Media/Metadata wizard again and pick up any media that didn't get downloaded if you need.

AetherSx2 is no longer officially supported by it's developer and is actively (and intentionally) being made worse via the Play Store to break existing functionality and add adware to the application. Older versions work just fine, I doubt we (LaunchBox) will be able to really do much with this emulator moving forward as it's actively being developed to discourage it's use by any user, let alone one using a frontend (something the dev openly despised even when the application was still supported).

Are you changing anything in LaunchBox after you restore your backups?

Make sure when you plugged in your second monitor your refresh rates didn't get messed up in Windows. Some times hooking in a new monitor reverts the settings and places them at weird values. Ensure both monitors are running at 60hz+ and that the refresh rate in your emulator matches.

Sounds like at some point you may have changed your marquee image folder via Edit Platform to point to a different folder for your images. You'd need to change the path back to the default location

I deleted your other post. No need to make two. You have two issues going on here. One is that you don't have the videos this theme plays in the background and since it doesn't fallback to anything your screen just looks black. Second issue is that you probably have nahimic running on your system or are using an integrated intel graphics card and need to open intel's graphic suite app and set Anti-Aliasing on Big Box to either on or off (it defaults to some "Detect" option that breaks things)

Are the games imported or no? Also look in one of the games directories, does it have any goggame-######.info files in it?

Tools > Options > Integrations > GOG. There should be a scan button in there that will look at your game records and attempt to find the GOG info file in the directory that we can read and get the proper ID from

Just run the download metadata/media wizard and pick the one you want and then tell it to overwrite existing.

Many themes will work in that resolution. I know Faeran puts in a lot of effort to ensure his work well in 4:3. You can browse the download section for titles that contain 4x3 or 4:3 in them, there 5 or 6 that do so. Some I found were:

This is because in LaunchBox you had that platform selected and changed Image Group to Clear Logo. Close Big Box, open LaunchBox, navigate to that platform, then in the Image Group drop down select "Front Images" (or something similar) and then when you get back into Big Box it should look correct.

We do have some 4:3 themes on the site that I would assume should work.

You can delete those files if you feel confident you don't need them. Should you find yourself in a predicament where a specific version is needed you can always email support@unbrokensoftware.com and explain your situation and they can get you set up with the file you need.

No need for apologies, I appreciate you willingness to try and help. I just want to ensure the two of us our on the same page so we can correctly diagnose the issue and hopefully get it resolved.

The release handles CHD because it is wrapping libchdr, just not in the repo the report was raised in. Though it does make sense that CHD has issues and ISO don't. ISO is a single format, where CHD has like 5 different versions and different compression formats that can be used within a single version. CHD is a far bigger umbrella of possibilities to manage where the ISO file format is far more straight forward.

Is anything generated in your log file? The only thing I would think may be happening is that the app takes longer that the timeout period we set to gen the hash and we are just killing the process too soon for your computer. Though that wouldn't explain the "COULDNTFILEHASH" not being inserted (since it should be if the timeout is hit). Do you have a filename + md5 hash you could provide for a few of the files that you are seeing work in command line and NOT in LaunchBox?

Not sure I follow this line of thinking. We ARE sending your files to their application (found in \\LaunchBox\Third Party\RetroAchievements\rahasher.exe). What app exactly are you comparing results with?

The reason behind this is because in the repo that we get the cores from ALL cores are shoved in the same zip file. We cannot grab a single core, and since you've already spent the bandwidth downloading them, we put them in there so they can at least be used down the line if you choose to.

If you're using the LB interface that would be done per app, per game via the Edit Additional Application window. If you want to do it en masse per platform you'd have to close LaunchBox and manually update your data files.

In LaunchBox Options window, General > Startup Applications

In LaunchBox you can setup programs to run with the startup of LaunchBox, Big Box, or both. Create a bat file that opens what you need and set it as a startup application.

You can turn off the "Run Before/After Main Game" checkboxes

Close LaunchBox, then navigate to \\LaunchBox\Data\Settings.xml and open that up in a text editor. Look for a "<EnableGamepad>true</EnableGamepad>" (without quotes) and then change true to false. Save the file and close it, then reopen LaunchBox. Mouse should stop doing that. Sounds like you have controllers enabled and the "Use all controllers" checked and you have a device that is sending a signal. This happens a lot with some peripherals like wheels.

Sounds like you haven't scanned your platform yet. If you scan the platform for achievements that shouldn't be required.
