arcademode

I started a thread to discuss this same issue before I found this thread. It's been 3 years since the last posts here, the issue still remains. The search function in Hyperspin returns much more expected results because it defaults to game title search. In addition the results are separated by platform so it's really pleasant to use. Searching in Bigbox (I'm using an arcade cabinet, thus I'm not searching in Launchbox as much) yields an unsorted, long list of unexpected results, meaning I can't really find what I'm looking for most of the time. It seems @Jason Carr disagrees fundamentally with whole word or game title search based on his reply above. That's such a bummer because when you have a large library the search is really crucial. It seems many people, myself included, have raised this concern either on forum posts or officially through bitbucket. That indicates enough demand I think to work on this. It seems like it would be easy to add a simple option to "search game title only" or something like that and default to whole word search in that mode. That way you can search up NBA games without Pinball showing up or Sonic games without Panasonic showing up.

The new "Discover" option has A and B buttons showing on the bottom right, that's the most obvious starting place for me I think.

Some themes seem to have on-screen instructions for button inputs, ie: "press B to go back" or whatever. That's fine for controllers, but I'm using arcade buttons so I'd rather those be accurate to my setup. How can I change that?

Does anyone know of any other themes with a wall view that has a working index?

Hey I'm loving this theme, but I can't seem to open the Index when using Wall View. Would be handy for skipping down long lists!

Coming from Hyperspin, really enjoying the customizable themes and views available here in BB. The only thing so far that's completely inferior to HS is the search function. HS seems to have a "title only" search function, and the results are listed by platform. This performs quickly with predictable results and the results are easy to navigate. Conversely, searching in BB seems to parse all of the metadata, not just the game title, so you get way too many results. In addition the results are shown in one big list, which is hard to navigate when there are lots of results. In conclusion the BB search function would be much nicer if A.) you had to option to search by GAME TITLE only and B.) The search results were sorted by platform. Attaching photos below for comparison.

Cool plugin, just found this for jukebox. Using the Slipstream theme, I found I can navigate all platforms normally but after launching jukebox one time all subsequent platform selections relaunch jukebox. Is this fixable? EDIT: I think my jukebox program is hanging when launched, that's complicating things. Also I think that just highlighting Jukebox on my Platform Category section creates the "Only Jukebox" launch error. Weird.
