I've noticed on Launchbox for Android that when art is downloaded, sometimes it seems to prefer/use Japanese art, even if the rom is US/NA. I know we can change preferences on the PC version of Launchbox, but I didn't see an option for this in the Android version. Maybe something to look into. Not a huge deal, but it's weird when the wheel shows the game name art and the name is different than the US name of the game. (for example - Black Tiger (US name) / Black Dragon (Japanese name)) NOTE - I'm only using arcade games for this example.

Understood. Thanks. I just purchased a license today to play around with it. So far, it seems like you can't switch monitor orientation without restarting Big-Box, unfortunately. The theme looks "confused" until you restart Big-Box, after switching. Maybe I can ask Jason, et. al. to see if this can be fixed. -
So now I'm curious how the theme changes (if at all) when the video preview isn't 4:3.

Oh interesting. So the entire theme vanishes when you play the game? Sorry for the confusion. I'm used to RetroPie / Emulation Station. I guess those themes work differently.

I'm not sure I understand. When I play a game with just an emulator and set it to output at the native game resolution (or 1x, 2x etc), different games will take up different amounts of the screen and have black bars on either the top/bottom or sides of the monitor, depending on the orientation, and the bars can be varying size, depending on the output. I would assume the theme has some "window" for the emulated game, or it assumes the game occupies a specific amount of space in the center, then adjusts the top and bottom accordingly. So are the top/bottom sections hard coded to specific resolutions, or do they adjust automatically based on the emulation output and the physical screen resolution? e.g. Does the theme just look for any open space at the top and bottom and use whatever it finds?

I haven't had a chance to setup Launchbox yet, but I'm curious how this theme handles actual vertical orientation games. Every game in the video seems to be 4:3. What happens when you play a vertical orientation game (e.g. 3:4 or similar)?

I'm so frustrated at this point, that I've given up and uninstalled the app. I won't ask for my money back, as it's only $5, and I'm holding out hope that it will work fine at some point. All the arcade stuff works fine in Retroarch, but I can't get any arcade games to work with Launchbox. I tried at least 4 different arcade cores, which all work fine for me in Retroarch. And it didn't matter if I had the box checked to unzip the roms or not (mine are zipped). At best, all I could get Launchbox to do was open Retroarch, which I can do myself already.

I’m having the exact same problem. I’m glad to know it’s not just me. I’m on version 0.30. I have the correct Retroarch and core selected for Arcade (I’m using FB Neo). The games play fine in Retroarch. I also get a black screen when launching from Launchbox. Maybe it’s my IT background, but I would love to see some logs or feedback of what’s not working properly. A black screen doesn’t tell me what to fix.
