  1. Hi all, running the latest beta and I ran into an issue. When I attempt to open options from LB, a second window attempts to open and causes LB to stop responding. The second window appears to be a login for EA Play.

    Everything else seems to be working fine.

  2. Hi folks, is there a way to only allow one playlist to be displayed while in Big Box? I know that the lock mode exists, but I’m drawing a blank as to how I can make this work.

    Reason being that I have a curated playlist for my kids, and for upcoming birthday parties I’d like to keep them and their friends out of a few choice titles.

    I only pinged Erdy but if anyone is having this issue and can do the same I'd appreciate it.

    I had been getting the same issue as Erdy, upgrading to beta 8 seems to have resolved my issue as well. Will report back if it comes up again.

    Thats a theme issue, specifically Retrofresh - Detailed glass view, its saying it cant find a specific file its looking for in the Retrofresh folder, specifically the xaml, which is the actual view code. Can you verify that the specific file it says it cant find is actually there?

    Hi yes the file is HorizontalListBoxItemStyle.xaml which shows in my file directory. I have attached screenshot to show this. This has only happened since downloading the latest beta. Thank you.

    Ok just found out that if I launch Launchbox latest beta first, then launch Bigbox from there it works fine. But if I come out and go straight into Bigbox i get the error above. Weird. Hope that helps to troubleshoot. Thanks.

    Hi all, I’m getting the same error as erdybirdy since downloading the 4th beta. I’m using the City Hunter theme. I reproduced the error; load into BB directly when starting Windows and it pops the error, but if I start LB and then load BB it works fine.

  5. Thank you for the reply! So summed up for future reference, in command line lingo, SEND causes a command to be sent to the keyboard, SLEEP causes a pause in milliseconds, and brackets { } go around names of keys to be pressed?

    I'd avoid using xinput if I could, because the ipac has worked incredibly well out of the box.. but for running fighters from Steam, there doesn't seem to be any other way. The source of my question is due to a problem with multi-mode hotkey switching.. I started off holding the shift+P1SW3 hotkey to switch to xinput, which works splendidly. Upon holding shift+P1SW1 to switch back to keyboard mode, however, fails to switch back, as no shift key appears to be assigned in xinput. Assigning a shift key in win-ipac and switching back to keyboard mode works, but it won't maintain the configuration unless the board is forced to reconfigure from the menu.

    What seemed to work, however, was creating separate profiles for the keyboard and xinput modes, and manually switching between them in win-ipac. I forgot to mention in my original post that I e-mailed Andy from Ultimarc; he noted that while the keystrokes work for switching on the fly, switching the profile in win-ipac was in fact the preferred method via command line interface, and also recommended creating a .bat file to do so. After some more searching last night, I found this from their website.. "This program can be run "invisibly" from a command line by simply appending the name of an already-saved IPC (config) file: Winipac.exe <name of IPC file>"

    I'm assuming that I would need a startup and a shutdown script to run this properly? A command to open win-ipac, another to run that command to change from the keyboard IPC file to the xinput IPC file, and one more command to close win-ipac.. shutdown would be the opposite, a command to open win-ipac, another to run that command to change from keyboard to xinput, and one more to close win-ipac?

     

     

     

  6. Hi all, question about Launchbox and AHK scripts. I’m using an ipac 4 in my cabinet, and I’d like to create a script that will switch between keyboard mode and xinput mode. I’m awful when it comes to writing scripts, does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could proceed?

  7. Hi all. I've been using LB for almost a year now. Initially, I added 10-20 games at a time, and would immediately stick them in a playlist. I've gotten lazy as of late, and now I can't remember which games are already in playlists and which aren't.

    Is there a feature similar to 'Audit all games' that will list which games are a part of which playlists?
