  1. Downloaded the 12.15 update, however the system information is not showing up in the info box. It remains blank until a game is selected..... Thanks for any advice.
  2. Hello. Love the new 12.12 update with automatic bezel downloads. Having an issue with some systems. I'm choosing theme bezels, but only the system bezels are displaying. The theme bezels are downloaded, and I can go into RetroArch and set each one manually, but would like to know why the theme bezels are not displaying. I had installed the bezel project separately a couple years ago. Should this be deleted, as the old bezel project is under emulator/RetroArch, and the new folders created by the new downloader gets puts under launchbox/metadata? Arcade, nes, snes, loads the theme bezels, while sega genesis, N64, are assigning the system bezels... Thanks for your help
  3. Overall, Im pretty satisfied with Launchbox/Bigbox These last 2 years. Recently I saw a Coinops Theme called Arcade Elites 2 and I almost gave up on Launchbox over this one arcade based theme. However the lack of consoles and unfamilar, ackward file layout was the reason I didnt. Every Arcade game had its original cabinet design with bezels. I know about the coinops theme in launchbox, but it is a elementary and strupped version Does anyone know of a theme that uses all. Of the collected marquees, control panels, and cabinet artwork or a way to do this manually. I use the ultrawide theme that has a arcade cabinet but the marquee stays the same. It seems counops and hyperspin both have been doing this for years, but despite Launcbox having a mass amount of visuals and metadata handsdown, I have not seen a similar theme. They are mostly Emulation Station types.
  4. Im trying to use mame2003plus for several games that run better with this core. Under edit tab for game, then under emulation/use comnand line ,I am using the following command line: -L "cores/mame2003plus_libretro.dll" This isnt working. Game wont launch. I was hoping by now, the latest version of launchbox would have a simple check box menu under the edit menu to choose which core you would prefer. You can do this for games with multiple versions.....simply choose the version click ok, and your done. But we are still manually putting in command line code for using a prefered core. Retropie allows you to choose a core and your done. Still....Im pretty happy with launchbox. Thanks for any help.

    Artwok

    Having an issue with displaying artwork. I ended up reinstalling 2 roms back into launchbox. They have the artwork in the edit file under images , but will not display. The game usually has a greyed in box with the title if artwork is missing, but my problem is that it is only displaying the title with no box. The artwork is present, but will not display. I believe it has something to do with reinstalling the game, and possibly launchbox is using wrong directory or something of that nature. I have already tried to rename spelling of game and tried to manually add art. No go. Please help. Thanks
  6. Thank you all for a great product. I'm still getting used to navigating and customizing Launchbox/Bigbox. I'm using the Unified and ultrawide Theme. If I go under Street Fighter Collection, ( just as an example), under the games list, at the bottom I can see the Name of game, then developer, genre, play mode, and rating. However no platform which is checked under theme specific options, then game details. Does unified theme not support this or I'm I probably missing something? I need the platform to display because every conceivable version of street fighter is under this collection but you can't always know what you are selecting by looking at the box. Thank you.
  7. Okay, so I just downloaded Sharp x86000, and have several hundred games that are missing box art, that after reviewing, would prefer to just hide. This collection has close to 2000 games, so no big deal. My problem (probably noob related), is that when I choose "hide games missing box art" under view tab, launchbox wants to edit all systems. I also highlighted all x6000 games and chose the edit wizard, but do not see anywhere to change this field. Maybe consider a per system option under view field for next update. (I know you can manually highlight each game then choose hide) But this collection is very large. Any way to edit per system?
  8. Thanks. Enjoying the learning curve.
  9. Thank you. Will give this a go. Appreciate your time and effort.
  10. Thanks for taking the time to respond. I'm going to put this on ice until a better core/emulator/tutorial/solution comes along. 15,000 games will keep me busy till then.
  11. Watched and followed your tutorial to set up Atomiswave and Naomi using Reicast...first issue, there no longer is a Reicast core, only the Flycast cores, tried different approaches and setups to no avail....updated and downloaded latest retroarch cores...tried the Demure emulator as last ditch effort after 6/7 hours...read 2 hours worth of post, mostly from 3 or 4 years ago... And the correct bios was installed. Would really appreciate some help. Thanks.
  12. Transfered Launchbox build over to 2tb ssd. Original build is still on hard drive. Watched the video on how to autostart launchbox , which works fine using the hard drive but won't let me use the exe file from the Ssd. How is this accomplished? Will I have to boot directly from external ssd, or is there a way to do this from within windows? Thanks.
  13. Can someone tell me what game this is? google wont bring up another image with name...Thanks

    Playlists

    Fairly new to Launchbox/Bigbox, after 2 years of Learning Ins and outs of Retropie/Recalbox. I would like to know how to add a Favorites option on main Platform wheel without switching over to playlist...ect. I want to set this up in a Bartop, so ease of use for people playing it is important. Tried to create a platform called favorites, but it was not placed in main platform list. Also, how does one add a playlist option to the main platform wheel, or do you have to set a button up on controller to switch back and forth between views? Thanks.
  16. Noticed that many of the videos in console themes download option in launchbox do not play for preview. If I downloaded them from the Launchbox Forum, where exactly do I place the file? Looked in Theme file and video file but did not notice a specific console theme folder. Thanks.
  17. I have spent 2 hours trying to find a straightforward answer and step by step guide to adding Background music to Launchbox. As installed, there is a music folder within Launchbox folder. The forums say to add a background folder, then another platform folder, then finally the platform folder that contains the mp3 files. I have tried all different ways to get this thing to work with no luck. I simply want random music to play in background while I make a game selection, to resume after I'm done with game. There is no tutorial, just posts with different ideas and problems. As of now I have the free version. Is this the problem? Please, some clear, concise help would be appreciated.
  18. Thanks. Got it up and running over two weeks ago. Enoying the learning curve after using and learning everything about retropie. Would like to see a quick tutorial on how to restore launchbox if it won't Launch. Maybe this could be added into next release. If user does routine backups from within launchbox, an executable file within the backup folder restores xml files, ect....if launchbox cannot be accessed. I lost over a week and a half of loading/confiquring/reconfiguring. Over a corrupted xml file. Message said where to find the file, but no real info on how a noob with semi literate computer skills is supposed to do this. Your tutorials done by eta prime are excellent. Step by step instruction is exactly how I've been able to get as far as I did. Maybe he could show all of us how to restore if launchbox crashes. I look forward to getting everything back up and then on to big box which will eventually run my bartop. This emulation thing can become addicting. Thank you and the whole team for creating such a great product. Despite the setback, I'm enjoying the experience. .
  19. First day with LaunchBox. 4 hours of my Saturday trying to download a program videos describe as easy/simple.... Fresh Install of Win8.1 Won't get through initialization. I'm tired. Would like to use this program and even pay for big box but This feels like a job. Help maybe?
