Baggio

Sorry i didnt see this, i dont know why i get notifications sometimes and not others. Thanks for the reply, next time it crops up ill check the log and see whats happening 👍

I'm trying to clean up my images as i'm downloading and making spines and have ended up with a lot of duplicates. Now when i run the clean up media scan it shows me these said duplicates but when i try and move to a folder i get the error -XX files moved, XXXX couldnt becuase of error (most likely the file may be in use). What i did notice is that 3D boxes were also in the clean up media list so i tried deleting all my spines and running it again and i got the same error with just the 3D boxes shwoing as duplicate, so i did it the other way around and deleted all my 3D boxes and put the Spines back in and ran the scan and the same thing happened again. Any ideas why its saying files are in use when they aren't or if thats even the issue?

All sorted, for some reason my launchbox.exe had DPI scaling checked to application and unchecking that fixed that issue

Hi guys i'm having some issues with some text scaling in Launchbox and Bigbox. When i run a Quiz Game in LB or BB the text is oversized like the pic on the left, but running it outside of LB/BB its its fine like the pic on the right. I've had a good search on the net and on here and found people having issues similar to this with a service called NahimicService but i don't have the running on my system. I have had other issues in the past with the startup screen so tried disablling that just to test but thats not the cause. I disabled the additional apps it runs before and after to see if they were causing it and i also tried creating a ahk to run the game with a resolution switch in it and while the resolution does change like it should the text still stay the same. Does anyone have any idea what could cause this? Its strange it only happens when launching it through LB/BB

Thanks, the scroll bar works great 👍 The second issue is still present but that doesn't affect anything. Out of curiosity, is everyone naming their files after the games title?

Thanks for this 👍 I seem to have an issue with the scaling though and can't click the start button. Also when selecting the dropdown in Number 2 it move''s the dropdown over to the right hand side. I'm using a 4k TV so am not sure if its my scaling or the app so i thought id let you know

No not games that need to be installed, just games have thier own folder and have a .exe to run them. By touchscreen quizes i mean these that we get in pubs. You can edit the game so you can use a mouse to play them. But i think i have solved it tbh. I just created a symlink of that folder from the NAS and put in in the folder it used to be in on the main PC and it worked great! Hopefully thats the case for everything else.

@The Papaw Me again lol. I have the NAS setup now and it works great. I have hit a snag though, do you play any standlone games off your NAS? I never thought of this before and was only thinking about running emulators off the main PC but ive realised i have games like my touchscreen quiz games, probably eXoDOS and the newer arcade games that run with jconfig ect so am not sure how to get around this. I know we can use a VM but thats not a option for me so wondered if you know anyway around it?

Brilliant, thats just as I thought so nice and easy I’ll check that xml out when I get home as well, thanks

@The Papaw Hi bud, how are you accessing yours roms via launchbox? Have you just shared a folder then mapped it to a drive from the NAS and edited your .xmls to point your game to that mapped drive? I have all mine almost set up now. I went with unraid in the end and am just waiting for the parity drive to finish building then a can transfer it over and mass edit my .xmls lol

Thanks buddy, will do.

This was a problem I had. They are meant to change to there relevant playlist name. When the playlists were nested only only the filtertitle metadata would get them to show. But changing it to that from platform what it’s supposed to be made it so the video borders didn’t change at all when your in a playlist (or at least when viewing all games from the BB menu) I also tried platformorplaylist metadata and that didn’t work either so I’m stumped on how to get one working without breaking the other. i discussed it with y2guru here.

Brilliant. Luckily i kept all my old setup before i upgraded so still have my old 3570k CPU, 16GB RAM, Micro ATX mobo with 8 sata ports and a PSU. I usually sell all my old parts but this time i didn't as i thought this may do to build a cab but now it's going to be a NAS lol. I just need some Hdds and a case (which is on its way already) and I'm away. Thanks for the heads up on Open Media Vault, i'll check it out.

Good stuff

That is exactly the answer I was looking for thanks. I'm extremely new to all this NAS stuff so forgive my ignorance, Just a question for clarification about the last thing you said. Are your emulators and the ROMs on the NAS? You said you have a 18TB drive for ROMS and the emus are using that single drive so its confused me lol The media side will be fine for me because it'll all be on the main PC with LB/BB 👍

@The Papaw I'm thinking about building a Unraid NAS to store my ever growing ROM collection on. What I'm looking to do is use just my main PC to run Launchbox/Bigbox and the various emulators on accessing the Roms from the NAS. How do the newer emus run when accessing the Roms over a NAS? Do you have any issues with that?

Sorry guys i didn't get any notifications about these again. Did i sort all these out on comments page we were talking on? The list is in the second post here. Click the spoiler to see them. Thanks. None of this would be possible without your original theme so thank you I replied on the comments page, did you sort it?
