I'm not sure what the default one is like tbh. I'm pretty restricted on what I can do with the pause theme as I'm having to use the original images with the grey background. I tried removing the background so I could have a png with just the text and controller but the images are to small to do that with. We could edit current pause themes to look something like these though without too much hassle. . -
I've been setting this up and use this. You have to put the Images in the Controls - Information folder though using the zip I've linked and not the main one. The main file uses a newly made "Game Controls" which works for the Platform Images but not specific game images. I'm in the process of seeing if I can tidy the images up as I use a 4k TV so they don't look great when stretched. I have had a quick test of just keeping the images the same size and placing them into a 1080x720 background and they look a lot better but the information is quite small and the rest bare. 😂 This is what it looks like with the pause screen i am currently making. As i say very bare but WIP. If Anyone has any suggestions on what to add to that and where abouts such as playtime, players etc let me know.

I have a solution but can't quite execute it lol So I have to load the game in borderless and then press F3 for it to go fullscreen. Now I am using a script in the running section in the emulator but am struggling to get something like, #IfWinActive, %MFMEWindow% F3:: ; Press F3 key Send, {F3} return added to it and working for it to go fullscreen after it closes the splash screen and notes. Heres @fruity script that im trying to add it too. SetTitleMatchMode, 2 WindowClass = TLayoutNotes MFMEWindow = MFME.exe TimerCloseWindow: IfWinExist, ahk_class %windowclass% { WinClose, ahk_class %windowclass% } SetTimer, TimerCloseWindow, -4000 return #IfWinActive Esc:: WinCLose, ahk_exe %MFMEWindow% Return

A little update is that it appears to be something to do with the backdrops as when I enable "random backdrops" it breaks a lot more games 😂 Also choosing anything other than fullscreen in load mode and they work as well so i'm guessing if i can figure out how to change the monitor size from the defaults of 1538 x 864 i may be able to get them all working.

Has anyone else come across this type of error? This is happening for a few games and the addresses change slighty, this error was for Monopoly Hot Property. The game runs fine when ran through MFME but I get the errors when it's being launched through Launchbix for some reason. I've tried adding MFME as an exception in DEP and deleting and re-scanning the DB but neither had any effect.

Ok cool, thanks. I thought these might be useful for people with lightguns so they can move all their own lightgun cfgs and nvram files out before adding yours so they just paste them over your ones after and keep their settings. _Move Mame Lightgun nvrams.bat_Move Mame Lightgun cfgs.bat I believe I have all the Lightgun games from Mame listed in this, if not let me know.
-
Great work. I can’t imagine how much time you've put into this but I’m sure I speak for others as well saying thank you for all the effort 👍 I may have to update my mame now then and used non-merged sets instead of my usual merged 😂 i have a couple of questions, would it be wise to use The image renamer to rename all our media to the rom names before we add your xml? and I have a Gun4ir lightgun. Seeing as you have calibrated these for mouse and controller should I leave the cfg and nvrams out of all the lightgun games as I have set mine up already for lightgun use use?

I just did an image clean-up with the image clean up function and after it finished I moved the files and I had a look through my platforms to see it it removed any images it shouldn't and i found some images were missing. Now the strange thing is the box backs and spines are named Dragon_s Lair II _ Time Warp for example and are shown still in LB and werent moved with the clean up tool but the box front which is named exactly the same and was picked up as not in use and move/deleted. This has happened with quite a lot of files with a dash in the filename and with the underscore in the images filename. Just to put it out there image naming on Launchbox is the bain of my life, i don't know how much time i have spent remaining files 😂 Can we not have Launchbox ignore commas, hyphens, dashes and apostrophes in titles/filenames so it matches them, instead of having to use underscores in the image file?

👍

I forgot to add, for anyone that's using the PDF to JPEG batch file I posted you can edit the quality and density settings (-quality and -density) as needed to suit your requirements and to make the file size smaller. In this, it's set to the highest quality (100) and a density of 300x300 DPI.

Here you go. Extract First Page PDF.zip Below is a work in progress but it converts the folder of PDFs into JPEGS. For this to work Ghostscript needs to be installed https://ghostscript.com/releases/gsdnld.html PDF to JPEG.zip I'll try to get these into one batch file at some point.

Archive Cache Manager
Baggio replied to fraganator's topic in Third-Party Applications and Plugins (Released)
I think i may have it actually. I just need to check "Extract ROM archives before running" in each emulator and set copy in the "All" extraction settings to achieve what I'm after and that's all there is to it. -
Archive Cache Manager
Baggio replied to fraganator's topic in Third-Party Applications and Plugins (Released)
I've only just come across this and it sounds like exactly what i need for my NAS. I'm struggling to get it working the way I want though. From reading your release notes we are able to cache non-archived files and that's what I'm trying to set up. Basically, I just want it to copy the game from my NAS to my LB SSD on launch, so do I need to set up each emulator in the extraction settings or can I have one setting for them all? At the minute I can't get it to cache anything, because i can't get my head around it lol -
They don't work in the reader unfortunately, only Adobe Acrobat Pro supports them.

@vahn65 I've uploaded the new build, let me know if it works all right 👍 -
Yeah sorry I had a quick check last night and saw that I forgot to put the PlayStation 4 in for it to switch. I’ll sort it when I get home and upload the fix.
-
Brilliant thanks for this. This will come in very handy in the future no doubt 👍
-
That worked great thanks. I'm glad the actions files are of some 👍 Them logos look great, how did you go about using ImageMagick to make them? I used Photoshop in the end and if anyone wants a run down of how to use that ill put a little guide up.
-
I don't think I'll ever steer away from your images tbh. I just wish I had the skill to make the text 3D like your original ones instead of just a couple of drop shadows 🤣 -
No worries bud. You're bang on about me being busy with this as I have made another 9 UK magazine sets that I need to send you. You’ve got me well into it now lol Regarding FlipPDF, I love the style but it was the converting to exe’s that made me steer away from it becuase I dont think you can convert them back to PDFs. That meant if I ever needed them in PDFs again and i would have to find and download them all again which as you know is no easy feat 😂

Great timing on these as I'm adding magazines as well, thanks. Are you planning on making any more of them? -
I forgot to add it you want to use Acrobat for the reader i have found these settings (and the transitions) work really well. And here's an AHK to open them in fullscreen, just change the Acrobat location and the PDF name run, "X:\YOUR LOCATION\Acrobat.exe" /A "pagemode=FullScreen" "FILENAME.pdf" Escape:: WinClose, ahk_exe Acrobat.exe ExitApp return If you don't want to make an AHK for every mag, you can run this Action file Set_Initial_View.sequ Once installed, edit it and set "Open In Fullscreen mode" to yes (like the images above), then run that on your PDF folder and it will set them all to open fullscreen by default.

After messing about will all sorts of programs trying to extract the first and last pages from a PDF I have found out that Adobe Acrobat has actions like Photoshop so you can create a set of commands to run on a whole folder, so I have created 3 for anyone that uses AA. First and Last page to JPG.sequFirst Page To JPG.sequLast Page To JPG.sequ Just double-click each one to install them and in Acrobat to Tools>Customise>Action Wizard, choose which action you want to use, select the folder with the PDFs you want the covers for, and click start. It will extract all the images to the folder with the PDFs in with the back cover having 'BACK' in the name (if using front and back or just the back action file.) The reason I have been trying to find an alternate solution to Comic Utility Belt was that it was outputting really really small JPGS on some PDFs and I couldn't figure out why.
