    I can't believe it's been 10 years. Not sure what my initial build was, but the earliest installer backup I have is LaunchBox-3.2-Setup.exe, download dated 19/07/2014. It was only 11.6 MB! Congratulations @Jason Carr and your team and here's looking forward to the next decade.

    I just updated from 13.5 official to 13.6 beta 6 with no issues. However, in the LaunchBox Themes Manager I can only see the Default and Old Default themes, and not Default, Old Default and Old Default (Legacy) as mentioned in the update splash window.

    I believe that the various NTSC regions are all top aligned, whereas the PAL regions are centred.

    I'm not certain on this but I think that only MEMU, a dedicated Memotech emulator, can handle the mtx format properly. I use MAME with the software list folder mtx_cass which has the files in the game zips in wav format and I use the LaunchBox Parameters below and things work ok.

    @link182 The majority of the Lviv PC-01 games are coded in Binary with a lesser amount in BASIC, and the LaunchBox parameters for each type will be different. As Binary games are in the majority I would use the following Associated Platforms Default Command-Line Parameters in LaunchBox: lviv -ab bload\"\",r\n -autoboot_delay 6 -cass For the fewer amount of BASIC games I would give each one the following Custom Command-Line Parameters which will override the default. lviv -ab cload\"\"\n -autoboot_delay 6 -cass Your lviv.xml file in MAME's hash folder will show you which games are Binary and which are BASIC as well as showing you which games require multi-part loading and also which games are not supported.

    @link182 You can automate the BLOAD"",R and CLOAD"" commands. For Binary coded games use lviv -ab bload\"\",r\n -autoboot_delay 6 -cass Once BLOAD"",R has been autotyped on the screen you can enable the UI controls, start the tape then disable the UI controls again. For BASIC coded games use lviv -ab cload\"\"\n -autoboot_delay 6 -cass Once CLOAD"" appears on screen, play your tape. When the tape has finished loading use the Delete key to RUN the game. Some games have multi-part tape loading, I never tried any of those out so not sure how they load.

    I emulate the VIc10 in MAME as a software list (Remove File extension and folder path tickbox set) and have no problems with games opening correctly through LaunchBox using the parameters vic10 -cart. I just tried things with that tickbox cleared and the games now only open to a black screen just like you are seeing. Not sure why as the games themselves are bin which is a MAME recognised media format.

    @Arty80 I use the same bezel image as you for the Alien Vs Predator game and can't see any difference whether the bezel is active or disabled in MAME. Have you checked your lay file to see if it's enabling another image as well as the game's bezel png?

    That is a LaunchBox Games Database platform duplication issue. The same occurs with the Mattel HyperScan and the Taito Type X platforms

    You're welcome. By the way, there's a media renaming tool in the Third Party Apps and Plugins section of the Downloads that may automate any renaming for you.

    @bison3 The feature works fine for me. You could check under your BigBox Theme Specific Options that for your chosen theme the Show Hidden Games is not overriding the global setting.
  15. spycat
    If your games marked as Hide are hidden in LaunchBox but not in BigBox, go to your BigBox Options General settings and check that the Show Hidden Games tickbox is disabled.

    Many thanks for this huge undertaking. The Part1 rar extracted fine. However, I got a Data Error message related to TSR9260 when extracting the Part2 rar. In the extracted folder under LaunchBox\Images\Dungeons & Dragons\Box - Back, the image TSR9260 - Official Game Adventure - B11 - King's Festival.png appears as a 0 byte file. Everything else is ok. This may be just me but I thought you might like to be made aware.

    Great to see that you also did the casette titles. I initially thought that the set only had the rom cart games going by the previews.

    I've just tested mine out again on MAME 254 and my original parameters still work. pegasus -bios -cart1

    I like the 3D Model feature but would prefer not to have to open the LaunchBox right sidebar in order to use it. Is there any plan to add the 3D Model Fullscreen View option to the right-click menu when a box image is right-clicked in the LaunchBox main (centre) area?
  21. spycat
    Your gamecom parameters should not be part of your main ones. They, along with those of any other platform that you use Mame for, should be setup in the Associated Platforms section.

    Thanks for the new 3D Model override on a per-game basis. This feature is most welcome indeed.

    More information about "BBC Microcomputer Game Box Coverart (front, back and spine images)"

    Version 1.0.2

    136 downloads

    Seamless matching front, back and left spine images intended for use with the LaunchBox 3D Model feature. Almost all are derived from original retail box artwork scans so quality will vary. Non game titles such as educational, programming and utility are not included but the odd one may have crept in. This initial set consists of the download BBC_Micro_Norelco_Std.zip It contains 953 titles which were originally packaged for sale in a standard cassette (Norelco) case. Should any missing titles come to light I will upload them in a minipack update. Other sets (Dual Cassette, Card Box, Clamshell, Disk etc.) to follow later. Meow!

    In the Beta 1 Changelog posted above it mentions that a new visibility binding (ModelVisibility) for 3D Models has been added to the MainView in LaunchBox (for theme developers). What exactly is that and what does it do?
