Hey guys, I have been at this for days and still don't know why my BB themes don't look like the demos. I have downloaded the platform/playlist/category theme videos and I can see them in my LB/videos folder. I wanted to use Unified Redux but could only manage getting a grey back ground so I switched to Unified Refried 2.0 with the Queso Fresco addon. However I have no idea which xaml files to rename and what to change inside each of the many xaml files in the LB/themes/unified refried/views folder. I also followed instructions from the dev of the refried theme to create a copy of the entire refried folder, rename it and then change the naming structure of the xaml files. Unfortunately, the instructions don't indicate what/where exactly needs to be done at this point...just "rename the custom view xaml files to you platform name". What does this mean? Here are some examples of how a few of my themes look in BB. The theme that looks the best (but still missing the nice artwork) is Refried. I'm clearly missing steps even though I thought I had followed various instructions for each theme and their artwork/video files via the web and through LB and emumovies (I have their premium account). Can anyone help walk me through this for either Unified Refried or Redux? Thank you!

Thank you! I just got back to my system and LB v13.8 is working on my Win7 machine again.

Thank you. Does any version of LB or BB work with Windows 7? If so, which one (I tried v13.9)?

I am running Windows 7 and have had LB and BB working well for several years. However I can no longer open either program. In my searching through the message boards and I saw that LB v13.9 was the last version to run on Window 7. I had been running LB v13.14 without issue, but thought I would try overwriting this with v13.9. That did not fix the issue and still get this same error message. Launch/Bigbox are installed in my E:\Launchbox folder. Any help to get this going would be most appreciated! Here is the error I'm getting:

That was it. I guess when LB installed Origin and then Apex, the path was set to the installer instead of the Apex.exe. Thanks for the help!

I finally had time to test this. I tried both options, having both Enable game controllers and Use All controllers and then unchecking Use All controllers in Options, but still have the same issue. Windows calibration looks good as well. I'll just keep the guitar unplugged until I'm in the game and ready to use the guitar controller. Thanks for the help.

Hey guys, I have installed my first Origin game, Apex Legends and the game runs fine outside of Launchbox. I imported Apex Legends through the Origin option with the LB import function. LB found my game and downloaded the game images and wheel. However when I launch the game from LB, a dialog box opens with code I don't understand (attached). It them exits the game back to the LB menu. Of note, Origin is installed on my C drive and Apex Legends is installed on an external drive. I don't think this is a problem as the game runs fine outside of LB. I wanted to mention is in case LB can't load a game this way. Any help is appreciate! installerdata.xml

Can anyone help me with this? I have searched and the threads I've found do not address or help with my issue. Thank you.

Hey guys, I have several console emulators and now have a Windows game working well in Launchbox and BigBox. I just installed Clone Hero for Windows, but when my x-plorer xbox 360 guitar controller is plugged into any of the USB ports on my PC, the platform or game wheel spins constantly and I can't select anything from BB. If I unplug the guitar controller and select the game (from a regular x360 controller), then plug the guitar back in, the game plays great. I checked to see if any of the guitar buttons or D pad are stuck, but they are not. How can I get the wheel in BB to stop spinning when the guitar controller is plugged in? Do I need to setup LB or BB with the guitar controller separately and if so, how do I do this? I didn't see anywhere to setup a guitar controller in LB or BB. Thanks!

Most of my games are in a .cdi or .gdi format. Some games however only have .bin or .ecm files. These games play fine from the emulator, but I cannot get them loaded into Launchbox or Bigbox. Any ideas?

Hey guys, I have several Dreamcast roms in my ReDream games folder. My problem is that some are in folders that have multiple files inside. For example, I have a folder for Gauntlet Legends that has .bin files for Track 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 (some of these files are under 2,000 KB and some are over 400,000 KB in size. This folder also has a .gdi file that is 1KB in size. I then have a game by itself, NBA Showtime.cdi. This game does not have the Track files like Gauntlet. Both games play the same from within Redream. The issue is getting the games with multiple Track files to get setup and play from Launchbox/Bigbox. Most of my games are the multiple track variety, like the Gauntlet example. All example I've seen setting up LB/BB with ReDream shows having LB look for individual files like the NBA Showtime.cdi example. How should I setup LB with my games that have these multiple Track files?

I'll try that one as well. Thanks!

That did it, thanks! What does the Exit function do in BB?

I have several emulators/platforms working in Bigbox and Launchbox and I have set the "exit" function on my xbox 360 controller in BB/LB to need 2 specific controller buttons in order to exit out of a game and back to BB. However all emulators are not using these buttons to exit games when launched from either BB or LB. I checked inside the emulators themselves, but there are no options to select multiple buttons to exit games. Some emulators don't even have "exit" as an option from their controller button selections. How can I get Bigbox to only exit games when selecting the buttons I have indicated from the Controller Mapping section? The buttons in the Controller Mapping are currently buttons 6 & 7 on my controller, but they don't work/exit games. Currently, the only button that exits games from BB is the "back" button, next to the start button. Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks for that path, I was able to download some playlist videos for platforms. I didn't see any platform videos for the Unified theme, but some of the others are great.
