How to keep the start-up screen on untill a game launches
Kefka2b replied to Kefka2b's topic in Troubleshooting
@JoeViking245 hey I did a bit of experimenting. So strangely enough it seems that both settings time values actually add up when using both which I don't think is supposed to happen. However setting minimum start-up screen time to 0 and only using emulators startup delay time works well, but not on all emulators, for example the model 2 emulator doesn't respect the value selected and opens after less than a second making the loading screen almost useless. I also noticed for Dolphin as an example that using both settings together allows for a cleaner startup as it hides the quick Dolphin windows that flashes when starting a game. When not using minimum startup time it flashes on top of the startup screen. -

@JoeViking245 while I have you here Do you have a quick explanation on how the emulator start-up delay and start-up screen minimum time work together? -

Makes sense, thanks for the feedback. -

Thanks, I actually tested but it's not easy to implement as each game will be very different so I bulk disabled the start-up theme (and pause theme) for all Steam games, a bit cumbersome to remember to do it each time you add a new game though, hopefully we can get the same options soon as we have for emulators. But most useful would be simply to have start-up option that allows you to select a minimum displayed value and then launchbox auto-detects when a game has started and switches to it if more time is needed. -

So that might be a bit of an easy one I guess, so I have my start-up screen (Slipstream) to be on for 3.5 seconds which is the time the loading bar takes to fill and is a great value for all emulators I have. For Steam games however, often this is not enough and screen goes back to launchbox or Bigbox until the game starts. Is there a way to set a maximum time value, detect when the game has launched and switch automatically?

Alright I guess I'll wait for the CTC to be updated and make those selectable as they aren't for now (Unless the object is not actually a badge anymore). I guess I'll just stick to displaying a screenshot for a couple of seconds before playing the videos as these are instantaneously showing. Thanks for the tips!

Thanks mate ! Strangely enough regarding point 1, I did set all the elements to load during selection and it works great when navigating within the CTC after applying the changes, but within BigBox I still get that extra lag before videos load unlike all the other elements which are instantaneous (the behaviour is identical in the Supergrafx platform which only has 5 games or within the platform categories section which has only 6 elements, behaviour is identical compared to a platform that has 500+ games), there's also something strange with badges where the "unplayed" badge doesn't show up in BigBox but does in the CTC, maybe it's linked to new progress features in 13.22 and CTC needs an update for it.

Hey folks, I've started going into theme creation (well modification for now...) and I have a few questions: 1. Is there a way to have videos and badges (and possibly other items but these are the ones I noticed) load instantly without a small transition like clear logos or screenshots do? There's no animations set on them but still they require a couple of seconds each time the selection wheel is moved, I want to make my theme quick and snappy during navigation. 2. Is there a way to load items based on the connected controller/device? Idea to have an image set to a Sinden Light Gun Border on top of the theme when Sinden Gun is connected for navigation with the gun. 3. How do you edit the following elements? Game details screen, Pause and Start-Up themes (I am trying to modify existing themes) 4. Is there a way to remove some platforms from the Game Discovery Center? (I created some Light gun Games playlist set as platforms)

Hey @DarkanParx, I have to say these are my favourites by far, thanks a lot for creating them! I'd love to create more for my build, like a collections and light gun games ones, but also would love to get a UK version of the favourites one, would you have a template to share?
