@Jason Carr I figured it out it is a fault in the windows operating system that was never fixed by Microsoft apparently sometime when you add pictures jpg or png's to folders Windows creates a hidden thumbs.db in that folder but when you delete the pictures the thumbs.db is left behind until that too is deleted hence explorer reports that the folder is in fact not empty (it also creates sometimes a hidden desktop.ini as well, the only way to see these files is to go to control panel, folder options, click on view tab then uncheck Hide protected operating files and then click apply. you can now see these hidden .db files and then can delete then and even the desktop.ini files, these files will rebuild again when you reboot computer but wont be rebuild for empty folders thus showing you that the folder is really actually empty. Don't forget to recheck the Hide protected operating files and then click apply when you have finished.

@Jason Carr I just noticed something really weird if you place fanart in the theme folder and then subsequently delete that fanart it still shows in properties for that fanart folder that it is still the same size inside that folder even when you go to control panel and show hidden files and folders you see nothing inside that folder as you deleted everything already but it still reports as if there is something there. I had to reupload the vertical theme as it showed it was over 15mb when in fact it was only a few kb see screen shot before and then after deleting folder and putting in a new folder ps i cut to desktop then replaced it back in documents after replacing folder, you can check it out in the one i mailed to you previously on here.

@DOS76 Cheers and Happy Xmas to you and yours.

Please be advised that the Default Vertical is now in the Themes download Section. WISHING ALL MEMBERS A VERY HAPPY XMAS AND A WONDERFUL PROSPEROUS NEW-YEAR MADDOC1007

Default Vertical View File Hi as promised here is the Default BigBox Vertical theme specifically for Vertical Screens, Arcade Machines etc. Unzip and place unzipped file in your LaunchBox theme Folder. You should now be able to scroll and see your menu items in the BigBox and Options Screens. All Background Images and Background Videos will fill the entire screen so it is advisable to have Vertical Videos for your Platforms and Games, if not please be advised that normal Platform Videos and Game videos will fill the entire screen if you set show Platform or Game Videos in settings. This is a work in progress as Jason said that when he has time in the new-year he will sort out the fonts sizing that is needed in certain aspects of the menu and options screen which currently cannot be done in xaml, but i have used a alternate method for the time being in order that you will be able to see what you are navigating in these menu's. Platform and Game Views are reworked to take advantage of Vertical monitors. For people having trouble on some views please be advised that the New Views recently added are not skinned for Vertical Orientation yet. Below is a list of working Vertical Views Working Views Platforms Platform Text List with Details Platform wheel 1, 2, 3, 4 Working views Games: Coverflow Coverflow with Details Text List with Details Vertical Wheel 1 Horizontal boxes with Details Also note that as this is the default theme reworked by me it is still solely the property of @Jason Carr and UnbrokenSoftware. Thanks to @Jason Carr for allowing me to manipulate this theme for Vertical Machines. So Happy Christmas to All and a Very Merry NewYear.

@snoopy in ScrummVm in options first tab set to fullscreen renderer use opengl and under that leave at default

Long time ago that was the only way that model 2 games would launch was through bats but cant remember what instance of the m2 emulator changed that as is to long ago now to remember.

@DOS76 I'm not someone asked about the use of the bat bd00 used way back and i replied then @CTRL-ALT-DEFEAT asked me to test few things with bat and i did. The emulator_multicpu runs roms zips fine without the use of bats through LaunchBox/BigBox.

@CTRL-ALT-DEFEAT Just did i get an empty log.txt file with nothing in it

@CTRL-ALT-DEFEAT The syntax of the command is incorrect. this is log

@CTRL-ALT-DEFEAT put a pause at end of bat ran it, exited game, it leaves CMD window open until a key is pressed once key is pressed it exits CMD no syntax error or error of any kind or issues.

@Trihy Each bat must be in a folder named as the game here is copy of what is inside bel.bat remember save as rom name bat (bel.bat = rom.bat = behind enemy lines.bat you get the idea?) and to put bat inside folder with game name (folder name = Behind Enemy Lines) cd /d "C:\Users\PC\Documents\LaunchBox\Emulators\Model 2" start "Emulator" "C:\Users\PC\Documents\LaunchBox\Emulators\Model 2\emulator_multicpu.exe" %~n0

@Jason Carr Just uploaded the Default Vertical Theme to you by mail on here with a small list of maybe possible changes you might be able to make Cheers and KUDOS for a Great 7.0

I have the default vertical theme done i will upload it in a few days i first want @Jason Carr to go over it and maybe he will be able to change one or 2 items in it that cannot be changed in the xaml code, it will stretch all Background video and Background images to your screen resolution as this seemed the best option when i was doing it, So it would be advantageous to use vertical Videos and Background Images To suit your Vertical screen orientation, so just a few days to wait for the upload.

LOL

@lordmonkus LOL LOL LOL dont use gas save the environment LOL

Just thought id let you know am starting on the vertical theme this week should have it done in a week or so hopefully barring unfortunate circumstances.

@krazydad69 Just add the first episode in LaunchBox and then add all other episodes as an additional apps, then when you right click the first episode in LaunchBox it will show you a list of all the other episodes added as additional apps, or when you click on that episode in BigBox it will show you a list of the episodes you can click on and play. see screenshot

@Jason Carr Just quick tested the latest beta Wheel are a lot smoother and all wheel logos show straight away, and the video transitions as well when set to fade are a lot smoother no popping, still quickly shows the device when set to none no biggie but i just leave on fade now as better smoother experience overall. KUDOS on another good quick fast update.
