Thank you. I don’t use collections personally. I’d like to see game themes - Super Nintendo, Game themes - Palystation 1, Game themes Playststion 2…. Etc. This would make it easier to drag and drop. but I really appreciate all the work your putting in and your themes are amazing!!

You are correct. I have it as an additional app. The last way is the older way i believe and a batch file was made to avoid all those steps. I think I found the window titles for the batch file and the game file below which is Teknobudgie. The game itself is a bin file. There is also the Teknoparrot window running as well. I'm not very good with AHK any suggestions on how to do what you said above in the batch file I attached with the windows names? Not sure how much work this entails so if its a lot no big deal. Thanks again! Start database (without mouse settings).txt

Sorry when I say consoles I mean the games for the consoles not the console themes. When I click on my PlayStation wheel and go into the games part there are a lot of games that don’t have themes. I think I misspoke when I said consoles. I meant games for certain consoles are missing.

Ok thanks Joe. Ya I was referring to when Teknoparrot closes. To run Golden Tee I need to run a batch file first to start the online database or the game won’t run and this batch file closes with a key press so I would need Teknoparrot to close then a key press sent. Maybe I’ll see if I can get the batch file to run minimized then I will be hitting keys playing or scrolling after that anyway I’m sure.

I was able to just run it full screen for now by adjusting resolution . Would anyone know how to send a keypress on exit? I put send {f12} I think lol ChatGPT gave me this script SendF12() { Sleep, 500 Send, {F12}

These are great! Thanks for doing this. The only thing missing and what I personally would like would be consoles. No one has ever gone through and did complete themes for consoles. I have some from emumovies but like I mentioned before Atari and PlayStation or even PlayStation 2 don’t have complete sets and I know there is a bunch more consoles that don’t have complete sets. Thanks again for your work!!

2006 doesn’t need a subscription the rest do though.

Has anyone gotten this to run and with a bezel? I can get it to launch using the pre application to start the server but need to known how to close the server. I’m guessing there needs to be key stroke sent on exit? Also no idea how to get a bezel to load. I downloaded Arccabview but can’t figure out how to get the bezel to appear. There is no game exe. Any help would be appreciated!

These are great but like you mentioned a little all over the place as far as systems. I would love to see PlayStation -full set then click on Atari 2600 - full set. Not download a bunch of files and move each one to their folders. I did not see full system sets on your Patreon and fortunately I don’t know how you would prevent them from shared but I would rejoin or even pay for full system sets.

I personally love video game themes and use some of yours. I notice most of your themes are for newer games. It would be nice to have sets of older systems like Atari, Sega, and the original PlayStation done. I was a Patreon before and found a handful of game themes on your site I could use but always wished there were complete sets for consoles done.

Quite a few crashes tonight. I attached the last log. Anyone know what this means? "2025-12-04 10:44:25 PM FIRST CHANCE EXCEPTION: ImageSourceConverter cannot convert from System.String." Is this what's causing BigBox to crash? Log attached Debug 2025-12-04 10-26-26 PM.log

While I’m not experiencing that problem it would be nice to be a little faster and smoother. With that being said can’t you just roll back to an older version with less features?

I get the same thing. Switching over to Windows media player has reduced it but hasn’t stopped it. For me it would normally crash after about 20 minutes but sometimes run for up to 8 hours with no problem so it’s hard to pinpoint. I have reported in the beta section because it happens even with the new beta.

On a side note it would be nice to have the option to skip the metadata update when I just did it 5 times in a row. I wish I had the option to just download media. It would be saving me a lot of time.

Hi Faeran, Using the latest beta I chose to update and replace all media for all systems and left everything checked including everything with emumovies. It updated the metadata then started the downloads like normal. When the process finished it gave me the message saying xxxx amount of files were downloaded. I opened Bigbox and force updated the game wheels. When I opened the Arcade wheel I could see right away a bunch of games were missing on the wheel. I opened Sega Genesis and there were only 2 games on the wheel. I checked the images / clear logos folder and could again tell I was missing a bunch. I tried to update all systems again but this time i just had the clear logos checked and it updated the metadata again and said it would start the downloads but nothing ever happened. I tried this 3-4 times then rolled back to 13.24 and am in the process of downloading all media and with everything checked to make sure I'm not missing anything but am not replacing anything this time.

Not sure if this is a beta bug but running the beta I tried to download and replace all existing media and it would update the metadata but missed a bunch of downloads. I was missing a ton of clear logos. Kept trying to redownload after that but it wouldn’t download anything. Rolled back to 13.24 and downloads are working correctly.

Thank you for the update. If there is anything more I can do on my end to assist please let me know.

Just curious if the Launchbox team is aware of the constant crashing and if the logs provided are helping? I have attached another log after a crash using Refired theme and WMP. I have tried both WMP and FFMEG and both crash. I rolled back to 13.24 and same thing. It's pretty frustrating honestly and I'm just hoping it's being worked on. Thanks Debug 2025-11-26 05-39-56 PM.log

I think it’s a known issue. Try using Windows media player in the video settings instead of FFMEG

I think there is Unified and Unified refried. I’m on the beta also and get constant crashes with FFMEG but WMP runs no problem

Have you tried using windows media player instead of FFMeg? I get crashes using unified theme but nothing when I use WMP.

Not sure it would matter but you have it installed in your Yuzu folder? Your path says Emulators\Yuzu\Citron\citron.exe Maybe put it in its own folder? Also I didnt choose it as a default emulator but not sure if that's right. Again this was a basic install I had to do with nothing special needed. Are your paths to your games correct?

I literally just set this up and works great. I just don't like how it minimizes before closing. Here are the settings I used if it helps. Really nothing changed from the default.

Ok little more testing. I have not been able to get Bigbox to crash using WMP. Most of the time FFMeg will crash. I’m using Unified theme so maybe this theme works better with WMP or maybe it’s a beta issue not sure.

Oh man that will help a lot!! Thank you!! I found a theme I have but it’s from an old Huperapin set up so there’s no mp4 video. I haven’t been able to even see it either because the game must not be in my Hyperspin database.
