Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I am on 13.27 and I did try disabling the Startup Screen with no impact. The two games are both Raw Thrills tiles (Halo & Nerf) so I need TK's ELF loader. I have to think it is on the TK side (new behavior or something) as the other TK lightgun games work fine.

Hello, I recently added some new Teknoparrot light gun games. They launch fine but when I pull my trigger (left mouse click) Bigbox will show the Game Over screen and kick me back to the main menu. The game will continue to run in the background. This is also specific to the lightgun/mouse. Keyboard inputs do not have an issue. This is new behavior and only impacting games I recently added. My other 10+ teknoparrot lightgun games do not have this problem. I have confirmed that these new additions are using the same startup / launching settings as the other working Teknoparrot light gun games. I have attached a screenshot below of my settings. I have tried launching the games via both xml and through an AHK *.exe script (my preferred method) to see if it was a focus issue as I know Teknoparrot likes to launch multiple windows. Both ways result in the game over screen appearing when I pull the trigger. I am out of ideas and would appreciate any help. I must be missing something. Thanks

Hi, I am looking for a low power emulation/streaming box and the ONN 4k Pro keeps coming up in my search. I would only be looking to emulate up to the 16 bit area. The issue I am finding is that the ONN 4k Pro is running a 32-bit OS and I believe Launchbox only offers a 64-bit android version. Does anyone have experience with Launchbox on the ONN 4k or any other Android TV box they could recommend? Thanks for the help

Go the Keystone route instead. Keystone ports are pretty universal, readily available and should allow you to swap out ports as needed in the future. Buy a two or three-port Keystone panel. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0723HBW89/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Then get some keystone USB ports (very easy to find) and google "Keystone 2.1 Power". A couple examples of what comes up: https://www.amazon.com/RiteAV-Standard-Terminals-Connection-Keystone/dp/B0BF65V2NG https://www.amazon.com/DIYTECH-DC-Keystone/dp/B0B57TBCKM https://www.aliexpress.com/i/2255799978591236.html?gatewayAdapt=4itemAdapt https://www.calrad.com/72-350

Excellent. Thanks.

Hi, I am having problems with Big Box staying in focus after I exit from TeknoParrot. After searching, the common fix appears to be putting the code below in an AHK script. My understanding is that this would not go into the "Exit Script" section of the TekonoParrot Settings, as that is specific to the LB/BB pause feature. Where would be the best place to put it? Would I just copy and paste this in the Running Script section? Sleep, 5000 WinGet, active_id, ID, A WinWaitClose, ahk_id %active_id% Sleep, 3000 Send {Esc} Sleep, 500 if WinExist("LaunchBox") { WinActivate } if WinExist("LaunchBox BigBox") { WinActivate } Thanks for the help

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Hi, In LB I am trying to arrange/filter games by emulator. For context, I am changing an emulator for a bunch of roms/games and so filtering by the associated emulator will help me find them quickly. Thanks for the help.

Got it, that makes sense. Do you know if the playlist name is ever sent? I have a playlist named "Gun Games" under Arcade and there is one instance in my LED Blinky log where the playlist name was sent instead of Mame (Arcade). not a big deal but curious if there is separate/special treatment when a playlist is involved. Thanks

Hi, bumping this topic back up top in case anyone has any ideas. I reached out to the LED Blinky dev and he confirmed (via the LED Blinky Logs) that this is an LB issue. Basically any emulator/game I play (Teknoparrot, Model 3, Model 2, Daphne, etc.) is getting classified as MAME by LB. I can't find any settings that would cause this. Are there any ideas I can try, or ways to look at a LB log so I can figure out what is the cause? Thanks

Awesome. I didn't even know that function existed. Very nice!

Hi, I am starting to load a bunch of games I load from exe or bat files and I would like to set them to have a startup screen. When using an emulator this is easy as I can just go into Tools -> Manage Emulators -> Emulator -> Startup Screen and set a default behavior. Am I able to do something similar to games I am launching via exe/bat? I know I can go into each individual game and "customize" the startup behavior, but was hoping I could set a default so I do not have to do this for every game. i.e. every *.exe game I add automatically has a the startup screen option checked. Thanks for the help.

Hi, I have gotten LED Blinky up and running and it works fine in Mame and those games in BB/LB. However, with non-mame games (i.e. teknoparrot or windows games), BB will light up the default mame controls/buttons when I select those non-mame games. I have these games all under an "Arcade" category, but mame is not listed as their emulator. Is there a setting I am missing that is causing all arcade games to be considered mame? Thanks for the help

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am referring to the logo in the selection wheel. Your instructions are very clear but I must be missing a nuance. I've attached a screenshot to help. Bottom Left: Shows I have the .png in the right directory per your message. I am also using an existing LB file to make sure the file isn't the issue. Top Right: Shows the logo is being picked up (automatically) by LB in the images section. I didn't have to point LB to the file since it is in the right directory. This also means the file/folder is named right. Top Left: Shows the logo being picked up as the clear logo for the playlist in the upper right of the picture. However, if you notice there is no logo (icon?) showing next to the playlist in the menu (left side) - which I think might be an issue. Bottom Right: Just shows that the logo isn't showing up in BB even though LB is showing it in the Playlist settings. Thanks for the help. I feel like I am making this harder than it is.

Hi, I have created a custom playlist that I am trying to assign a clear logo to. Right now in BigBox the logo only shows as a text, no graphic. In Launchbox, in the playlist's settings I have added an image from the ".\LaunchBox\Themes\Unified\Images\Theme\Logo" folder and selected it as a clear logo. Right now I am just trying to use one of the preexisting logos in the above mentioned folder. They appear to be the same ones used by the autoplaylist function. Even though I have the file selected and it is in the folder it does not show up. Do custom playlist logos need to go in a separate location? Thanks for the help.
