I was thinking of trying this: If I make new "Platforms" and name them the Genres I want -- Racing, Fighting, Flying, Kids, etc. Then use Bulk Edit to move the games into those newly created Platforms. Would that work? Or can you NOT put, for example, Racing games of different platforms into a newly created Platform called, for example, Racing? I hope that question makes sense to someone!

Same result.

And should I Prioritize Steam media in the Wizzard?

Should I do the whole process over? Meaning delete the Steam platform again and start over?

I did all the steps and re-imported all my Steam games into "Steam" platform (including the Wolfenstein games and Pinball games. But when I got back into Big Box, and select "Steam" on the Wheel, it's the same issue: all black to the left of Steam selected with no video preview. I will say, in the Wizard to import in the Steam games, I did not selected anything to "Scrape As". Should I have??

If removing the Platform also removes those games in it, why not create a "Temp" platform and I move all my Steam games into that and then go through the steps? Or is the point to remove the Steam games as well, but just not blacklist them, and when I go through the steps they are freshly brought in. As for my Wolfenstein and Pinball Platforms I created, they do work correctly in BigBox -- I can select them on the Wheel and they show a video preview to the left. That being the case, are you recommending, leave those alone and just delete the Steam platform and therefore the games in there, but I should be able to pull them back in when I go through the process? Thanks!

Sorry, another question -- since I created 2 additional Platforms (Wolfenstein and Pinball) and move Steam games into those, should first move those games back into the Steam platform (formerly Windows) before I start all this? Or should I go into the games I moved out into Wolfenstein and Pinball and go into Edit their Metadata and assign them "Steam" before I start this process, or does that matter?

Also, in the Storefront... that pops up, it shows the Steam line green and on the far right a red button to "Log Out". Do I want to Log Out prior to going through the steps you outlined?

Thanks JoeViking245 - Let me make sure I am clear with your instrutions: 1. On the left panel right click on the "Steam" platform (which was the "Windows" platform that renamed to "Steam") and select DELETE. Question: That deletes the Platform "Steam" (formerly "Windows"), but doesn't remove any games from Launchbox, right?? 2. Go to Tools < Manage < Storefronts... and click on gear icon. I don't see a gear icon, but I do see a square on the far right of the Steam line and I see the choice for "Set Import Platform". I assume that is what you are talking about. 3. I created a platform called Wolfenstein and one called Pinball where I placed in there games from Steam. Should I delete those Platforms as well as part of Step 1 to clean that up, and then do your last part? 4. Move games I want to a different platform by selecting them and using Bulk Edit Wizard. I will wait to try this until I hear back so I don't make more of a mess!

Hey C-Beats. I tried that, but I lose the "Wheel" that I like. Here is a photo of Unified & Ultrawide that I have now with Platforms as Wheel 1. And then I go in and change the Default Setup View to Genre, I lose the Wheel and just have a list of the Genres down the left side. What I really want is the same look of the Unified & Ultrawide with Wheel 1 as Genre.

I was thinking maybe I remove all my Steam games from Launchbox, rename the Platform back to Windows, and then bring the Steam games back in? Any thoughts on that?

I love the BigBox Unified & Ultrawide theme. Is there a way to have Wheel 1 be Genre and not Platform? I want my setup to be by Genre like Racing or Flying or Fighting or whatever. Currently my Unified & Ultrawide theme has Wheel 1 by Platform. Does anyone know a way to change it to Genre, because I can't figure it out! Thanks!

I think I must have broken some link when I pulled out my Wolfenstein games into their own Platform. I did the same for 3 Pinball games I got from Steam (created a separate Platform called "Pinball"). And then renamed "Windows" to "Steam".

I looked in my other Platform folders and none have any videos in the "Trailer" folder. I see the small MP4s in the "Theme" folder of my other Platforms, but there aren't any in the Windows Theme folder or the Steam Theme folder.

I looked and that folder is empty. Thanks for responding!
