After updating to beta 11.7, i had a crash and when i restarted Launchbox or Big Box, a message telling that my Settings.xml was corrupted and must be restored from backup directory.
So i took the latest save and placed the settings.xml file in data folder.
Nnow the error message disappeared but Launchbox or BigBox is stuck on black screen on startup. I took a previous settings.xml but still the same problem. Launchbox stay "black" after launch and BigBox display the starup video but right after, same problem ... screen stays black instead au launching the program.
Any help ?? i have thousands hours of configuration and scrapping, i wouldn't want to loose anything ;(

i have a little problem which i'm sure the answer is in front of my eyes...
till now, i was using a Xbox controller with LB/BB/Mame and all was working great. Now i have made an arcade cabinet and replaced the xbox controller with an arcade panel connected to the PC with an IPAC (in keyboard emulation mode).
when i play in Mame, no problem, all the controls are working fine, but in Launchbox/Bigbox, only the direction controls works. I tried to go in the option to set the control mapping but when i try to press a button on my arcade panel, nothing happens like it's not detected.
Any help would be welcome, coz i really dont know how to setup this mess, knowing everything is ok in MAME.

hi everyone.
Whatever the theme i use in BigBox, i've notice that the background transition (example : vertical slide) starts right after the "wheel" animation ends. For example, i'm on a platform A, with the video of the Platform A in background, then move to Platform B (so the list slide to platform B clear logo) and once it's done, then the background video of platform B slides in the background. Same happens for games...
And this gives me a sensation of slowliness when i browse between platforms and games compate to Recalbax or Batocera on RPi.
Is there a parameter in the theme or options that i could change so both animations starts at the same time ? That would make many themes more dynamic and more appealing to me

Hello everyone.
Right now, i have all my launchbox set up in my launchbox directory on a 8TB hard drive.
I was thinking about moving all the gamesand plateform media (Pictures, logo, video, etc....) on a separate SSD to gain some speed when i navigate through game and platform in BigBox.
Is it something relevant ? If yes, how could i easily move all the media to another disk (like batch edit for all games) without having to rescrap everything or reconfigure every games one by one ?
Thanks

i have a little question : what is the beta version number right now ?
Before the 10.15 official update, i was notified a new beta version several times a week. But since the official 10.15, i still have not been notified of any beta update. As i haven't unchecked anything in my settings, i'd like to know if it's my Launchbox not updating anymore or if it's normal ?

I take advantage of this topic for a similar question.
I've updated my mame 0.220 roms to 0.221 roms by replacing the content of roms folder in mame with the new set (roms + chd).
How can i do in LB now to "update" my game list (in case some mame games were added or removed) without loosing my playlists and my "favorites" selected games ? i'm afraid if i go to the import process again, i'll have to redo all my favorite selection and playlist....

Do make sure you're using the latest beta if you running into issues. Looking at the log file though, it looks like it did upload scores both times.
I use the Beta 7 of Launchbox. As you can see on the screenshot provided my highscore is 58.600 (which is my first score the first time i played) and in the log you can see my highscore is 136.940, which is the second time i played, and it's not updated in launchbox...
-
i don't know if it can helps, but i've noticed that the hi-score doesn't update when i beat a hiscore in a game i have already played. (in the log here, the first hiscore what updated, the second one was not )

It also clearly says Mameui64, so not standard MAME.
the fact is i was using MAMEUI64 before the high score thing. Once the high score were implemented, i just switched to mame but i didn't change the path of the roms to not reconfigure all my paths (i dont know how to do this automatically). Is that the problem ? because honestly, the "not recording high score" is like 70% of the time but 30% of times it works (yeah, frustrating specially when i beat my own hi score).
-
Here is a new log.
On the same Launchbox session, columns 2 has its hi score updated, while for Fire Shark, played right after, hiscore just didn't update in Launchbox.
-
Even with the new beta, i still have some problems with updating hi-score.
It seems that in many games (specially the first time i play) once i make a hi score, leave launchbox and play the game again, the new hi-score is not recorded.
This is what just happened with Altair and Air Assult. The new hi-score has not been updated
Not all the game behave like that.

I recently discovered that Mame scores randomly dont update.
Example : This week end i play Andro Dunos. I make a miserable 69000 score. It updates correctly. But hey, i want to beat my own score, and boom, i make a 200.000 score. I'm happy with it and what i realises ? it never updated in Launchbox. It doesn't happens all the times, but it did this to a lot of games like Andro Dunos, Metal Slug, Gradius, etc....
I'm using .220 romset. Wonder if i'm the only one facing that problem ?

nice !
i could make platform video as background
thanks

i have 2 little questions :
Hatari uses the thumb stick of my controller instead of the D-pad. Is there a way to change that ?
Is there a way to use "esc" to quit the emulator ? for now, i just can use F12 then Quit, which is not convenient

Hello, i just have a little question.
I'm just sucking more than Linda Lovelace when it comes to xaml.
But i'd like to know if there is a way to put a video as main visual for startup theme ? (i'm trying to make a "loading" video per platform that i'd like to play while the game is loading...)

@Elhora Golden Axe is special: currently, the "score" is displayed as a "strength". consequently, launchbox cannot detect this as a score. I have modified the xml to display also Tyris and Gilius strength, and renamed the column SCORE. As soon as LaunchBox will be able to handle more than one hiscores table per game (@Jason Carr?) (3 tables for Golden Axe, one per character), it will be possible to be loaded.
@andyco47 rallyx and nrallyx xml have been improved so that a "SCORE" header is now available for LaunchBox to read
goldnaxe.xml 3.02 kB · 0 downloads rallyx.xml 1.92 kB · 1 download
stupid question : where do i have to put the xml ?

I just played the game "Magic Sword" many times, but it stills show "High Score supported but no community hight score found yet". Is the problem on my side only ? I use Mame 0.220 and latest version of Launchbox (problem occured on 10.14 and 10.15 beta 1).
Same problems goes with Golden Axe.

i didn't do any windows update. Neither added plateform.
the only thing i did was creating child category for my most played platform. Bet even if i limit my search to a single platform the problem is the same. In fact it doesn't even cache anything. When i click on a category or enter a name in the search bar, Launchbox has no reaction, like if it was freezing and the hard drive is not reacting. Then after 30 second it's like anything "unfreeze" (meanwhile, the computer is not frozen, i can do things without slowliness. Just launchbox have that problem.
EDIT : To be more precise, only the "search" function seems to be super slow to react. I don't have that problem in Big Box, and anything else in Launchbox is reacting normally. But search bar, gosh just horrible ;(
-
Today, using Launchbox as usual, with no changes made for few days, and Launchbox has become incredible slow.
When i mean slow, i mean it can takes up to30/40 secondes to display the games of a platform, up fo 40 seconds to display the result of the search bar.....
Any idea why this happens all of a sudden ? I still have about 25.000 games over a dozen of platforms. Nothing huge.

i'd kill for such functionality....... who wanna be killed ?

wooooooowwwww.... that makes my day !
Its Xmas before Xmas....
being noob to Shaders, what "fast" and "sharp" means ? (i mean for example what is the diference between "shadername" and "shadername-fast" ?)
-
Wow, super shaders.
Just a question, i'm using some of them, but i wish i could turn off the vignette in your shaders, as when i'm playing my real Sega Genesis on my CRT there is no vignette, i'd like to feel the same.

Bally Astrocade Clear Logo
View File
This is just a modest contribution here. I didn't like much the "simple text in plain color" that comes when scrapping my Bally Games. Nothing extraordinary here, I just wanted to make a more appealing text for my wheel. So i thought i would share with the community for people who would want it.
It's the 48 clear logo that match my collection.

hello
i think i've the same problem.
According to me, i think i've configured the good options. I've put the mame.xml file, the color.ini and the mame/cfg path. I've specified i use Launchbox as FE.
But under BigBox, some led that should be lit as usable control are off, and when i launch a mame game, all buttons lights when i expected only the button needed for the game should be on.
I don't know where i do wrong
I use the latest Launchbox and LedBlinky 7.1.0.1
