[How to load BigBox with a specific playlist, instead of the default one]

Hi, just wanted to bump this thread.  I would really love BigBox to be able to start straight into a specific playlist.  

[Sort list view by missing box art?]

Oh man I feel dumb.  I don't know how I missed that.  Thanks!

[Sort list view by missing box art?]

I can't figure out if this is possible.  Is there any way to sort the list view by games that are missing metadata/box art?  Trying to clean up some of the stragglers I have.

[Playlist Theme Video Requests...]

I started a "Spinner Games" playlist.  Any chance someone could make a video and clear logo?

The games I have so far are:

720 Degrees

Arkanoid

Ikari Warriors

Ikari III: The Rescue

Pole Position

Super Sprint

Tac/Scan

 

Thanks!

Put the full  path to where you have your roms located, for example mine looks like this:
rompath                   "H:\Emulation\Roms\Mame 177\"

Why does this need to be a fully qualified path?  I've been using a relative path, and it seems ok?

[Running LaunchBox and Big Box on Linux]

Awesome!  Any idea what the system requirements will end up being?  I have an old 2010 mac mini I slapped Ubuntu on, and run RetroPie/Emulationstation on it.  Obviously I'd much prefer to run LaunchBox/BigBox at some point down the road.  I'm probably being super optimistic here.

[MAME resolution change on exit]

Hi!  I have this weird problem, and I don't know if it's Windows 10, or MAME, or BigBox causing the issue.

If I set my tv to 720p in windows 10, and then enter BigBox, and then launch a game, it goes into 720p fine.  But then on exit from MAME, I end up in this weird 1360x768 resolution according to my tv.    Windows 10 still thinks I'm in 1280x720.  But when I launch a game, the tv switches video modes, showing it going into 720p.  On exit, again, back to 1360x768.

Anyone have any idea what's going on?  I really would like to just run Windows 10 and BigBox in 720p, so that there's no resolution switching when I enter MAME.  Thanks in advance!

Thinking about it more, is it because BigBox and/or the theme I'm using wants to be in 16:9 widescreen?

[Retroarch controller setup iPac ultimate]

Hi, I don't have an iPac.  But I have an Xtension Emulator Edition controller. It comes in keyboard mode, setup for MAME. But there are two other modes: D-Input, and X-Input that I can change it to by holding down some buttons.

D-Input mode presents the controller to Retroarch as two separate d-pads for me to setup.  X-Input present it as two separate xbox controllers.

Does the iPac have something similar?  You may need to just change the mode.

[Hidden games (with their platforms) showing after being hidden]

Just a heads up you can open a platform click a game hit ctrl+a then ctrl+e choose hide from the drop down and hide all games in a platform in one shot.

Yep!  I figured that out, and used that method.  However, I have hidden games, that still show up in BigBox.

[Hidden games (with their platforms) showing after being hidden]

Hi all!  I decided to hide all the games from a list of platforms.  All of these are now hidden properly in Launchbox.  In BigBox however, some of these platforms/games still show up.  I've tried un-hiding/hiding again, but they fail to disappear from BigBox.  Any idea what's going on?  Is there some type of cache I can clean up?  Thanks!  

(Also, we REALLY need a feature to be able to just hide entire platforms.  Going through each platform I wanted to hide, hiding all games was not fun.)
