Both of those things are indeed possible, but unfortunately I can't dive into it right now to actually do it. That said, with some experimentation you can probably figure it out by editing the theme's XAML files in a text editor. This is certainly possible, but I don't believe anyone has done it yet, and it would be a more major change for the theme (it would take quite a bit of work). Feel free to dive in and see if you can figure it out though.

Unfortunately I've never seen one, though they may be available somewhere. Some of the videos are actually recorded Hyperspin themes, so probably not in that case.

Thanks guys. I'll add this to the list for the next poll.

@harryoke I'm not quite sure what happened, but it looks like something went wrong with the uploads of the PSX Memories and Atari ST videos (they're giving 404 not found errors when you try to download them). Can you re-upload them?

I honestly haven't played with FS-UAE. Does FS-UAE use exclusive fullscreen mode? Check that Nestopia is actually closing. When I press Escape in Nestopia, it pauses the game but does not close it (which I'm sure can be fixed with different settings or something). Alt+F4 does work for me. It also could be the video settings in Nestopia if it's not using exclusive fullscreen mode or something of that nature.

If you're using MAME via Retroarch, it may an issue with the startup screens. Try disabling the startup screens in Big Box under Game Startup.

Yes, everything should be fully resolved at this point (it's been resolved for over a day now).

Just confirming that we're all back up and running with no missing images. It likely finished around 2:00 AM PST last night.

Thank you @harryoke. Looks awesome. I'll let @ETAPRIME know about it.

Quick update for everyone; believe it or not images are still restoring, but it does look like the vast majority of images are there. I'm sure by the morning everything will be restored. SSD technology has improved many times over, and I currently believe it to be the best option available for our needs, for many reasons. Appreciated.

Yes, Tools > Download Metadata and Media should bring you up to speed.

Ugh, sad day. Sorry to hear.

We're at about 60,000 of the 800,000 images restored, so it does look like it will be a while yet, though it certainly should be done today.

Hello all, as many of you probably noticed, our data SSD drive in the games database web server slowly started dying yesterday, which was wreaking havoc on the games database website and downloads in LaunchBox. It took us a bit to figure out what was happening, but we've since had the drive replaced and everything is back up and running, sans for some images that are still being restored. There are approximately 800,000 images to restore from backups. Until they are fully restored, you will likely see missing images on the games database website, and many image downloads in LaunchBox will return 404 Not Found errors. It may take a bit to finish restoring all of the images, but I will update everyone here when all is completed. My apologies for the trouble and thanks for bearing with us.

I am fully aware of this, per the 404 Not Found errors I mentioned above. Images are still being restored from backups.

The website is back up, and the problem has been fixed, but I'm now restoring the ~800,000 image files from backups. That could unfortunately take a few hours. Right now, everything should be working, but many of the images will return 404 (Not Found) errors.

The disks in the server are hot-swappable, so in theory we should be able to get the disk replaced very quickly. My host is already working on it.

After further research, I was wrong. There appears to be a hardware issue on the server with one of the two hard drives. I'm getting it replaced. I'll update with a schedule as soon as I hear back.

Hey all, I'm looking into the games database issue. Sadly it looks like the issue may somehow be with the Internet, either with my server provider's host, or with another stop along the way. It doesn't look to be a server issue, so it doesn't look like it's going to be easy to fix. We'll get it fixed though.

Just tested Edge and it seems to be working fine for me, though it looks like I do have to be logged in for it to save.

If it's resetting back to the Invaders theme, either you have some kind of blocking plugin or blocking settings, or your browser isn't working properly. It won't be able to save it if your browser isn't allowing cookies for one reason or another.

We will see updates, but not right away. I have not heard back on any API improvements as of yet.

I will note that screenshot order is important for you guys. It's just never been a priority before, because no one's ever seemed to care. I'll add it to my list.

Per the download issues, I am looking into it. However, in my testing things seem fine right now. I did see some slowdowns last night though.

Makes sense. Not sure when exactly I'll get to it but I'll add plugin access to the extraction stuff to my list.
