Knowcontrol

Thank you VERY much for this! I'm using it to launch BetterJoy to enable motion control on my 8bitdo controller for the Switch and Wii U.

Check out the Unbroken Software YouTube channel, you'll find dozens of incredibly helpful videos ranging from artwork downloading, emulator setup, playlists, to making BigBox look amazing.

I'm a big fan of the CHD format. They are much smaller in size (around 65% compression -think of it as FLAC but for data). It's a single file rather than the multiple cue and bin files. Look up chdman on the Google.

Try deleting all the update files in the LB>Update folder and then try the update again.

Can you show an example?

In LB the is a section to set image priorities for each image type. You'll find this in LB Options

Your file names will need to match the Launchbox database. https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/

I would tend to agree that this should be a switchable option in the settings.

Here is a link to the Unbroken Software YouTube channel playlist (153 videos) for Launchbox tutorials: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6pTDaHeAz-WMcNURVPU-1xLN_TVpT3FB BigBox custom theme tutorials: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6pTDaHeAz-X8yNgOD3DPxUf1gaB2FLzb

Having the wrong BIOS could also be an issue. Try the exact BIOS used by ETA PRIME on his YouTube channel. Here is a supplemental video to that one And definitely check out UrCasualGamer, he makes everything extremely easy to follow and speaks to the beginning novice and doesn't just assume the user knows what to do. YouTuber Mr. Sujano also has some good content.

These YouTube videos by the Launchbox team will help you. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6pTDaHeAz-WMcNURVPU-1xLN_TVpT3FB There are a bunch of videos in that playlist, just take your time and search through it to find the system you are looking for. I would also just look through their videos that have been uploaded recently in chronological order. https://www.youtube.com/c/UnbrokenSoftwareLLC/videos?view=0&sort=dd&flow=grid

Did you assign a core to N64? Go to Tools>Manage>Emulators>Retroarch. Double-click RA. Select Associated Platforms. Next to Nintendo 64 double-click in the Core column and then select mupen64plus_next_libretro. Click OK. Click Close. Next, watch ETA Prime's recent YouTube video on N64 cores. https://youtu.be/-u69C_C6vC0

@Lordmonkus What brand and version of fight stick do you own or would suggest? I would like one that sits on my lap. I'm realizing how hamstrung I am with my 8BitDo controller.

Thanks! I was wondering the same thing yesterday as I have recently setup playlists.

In addition, I found this to help with making the experience of booting directly into BB unobtrusive. I haven't tested it yet though. https://superuser.com/questions/1267931/hide-the-logon-screen-windows-10-iot Here are the techniques faeran mentioned: https://www.howtogeek.com/138159/how-to-enable-programs-and-custom-scripts-to-run-at-boot/

Oh! Cool, thanks.

@faeranCould you update the OP with all the changelog notes, please? Seeing them all together helps us see the progress and fixes/additions. Thank you.

Simplify your life. Google and YouTube "chdman psx". It takes those bin and cue files and converts/compresses them into a chd file (you'll save a bunch of space if that's an issue). Think of it like FLAC compression but for data. Most emulators have been updated to support chd files. There are also bat files to run the chd conversion command to simplify the process.

Sounds similar to an issue I reported a few days ago where my fallback Clear Logo images were not being displayed with marquee images selected as the view but a marquee image does not exist and falls back to a clear logo. Open the editor, press OK and the clear logo would then appear.

Anybody else seeing duplicate fanart background images in the game's details section?

12.2-beta-2&3 Clear logos are not showing as the backup image when marquees are set as the view. * I have marquees set as the image group view * My marquee image priorities are: Arcade - Marquee, Banner, Steam Banner, Clear Logo * Clear logos ARE being displayed when Clear Logos are set as the image group! * It's not until I edit a game, view its images and then press "OK" does the clear logo get cached and displayed as the backup image. Some screenshots as an example: Black Heart Clear Logo is not being displayed as the backup image when Marquee image group is being displayed. As you can see, the image exists. Click OK and now the image is displayed Same thing with Atari Soccer. You can see that it's in my image folder as well. Edit the game. Yep, image is there. Click OK and the image is now cached.

To change views you can use a keyboard or assign a key on your controller. These are set in the BB options menu.
