     You're right, something isn't right. 

    Update 1.6.2 is now posted.

     Thank you for letting me know.

    Sure, no problem. I just tried out the update that you posted and the issue is fixed.

    One thing I noticed that in the BigBox Options menu I do not see the reboot, exit and shutdown options when I scroll down past the sleep options. They appear to be there but I cannot see them them and are covered up by the bezel. Could be because I am on a 1440P monitor.

    Hi @dbinott and thanks for this!
    I'm no doubt being stupid, but from what I understand you would need to call these before running a game using something like "C:/program files/ultramap/ultramap.exe myconfig.ugc".
    I assume that there's a way to automate the calling of these from LB prior to running the rom rather than some manual per game setup?
    I'm just not sure how to do this so any advice would be appreciated.

    In addition to what @dbinott said Rocketlauncher would be one method to use as you could just drop the ugc files in . You could also do it with LaunchBox as well using the additional app feature but you would have to do it individual by game. Another option and the one I am using now is to use LEDBLINKY. You do not have to use leds to use the program as they have a (no leds) mode which you could use to send ultrastik maps to the joysticks. LedBlinky uses .um files to send maps to the joysticks instead of .ugc files and you do not have to have a separate .um file named after every single rom as the program reads the mame.xml, and the controls.ini file to determine if a 4 way,8 way and etc. map needs to be sent to the stick. There is a few roms like Qbert and Tron however that you might need to make a custom map .um file for but the vast majority are covered.

  2. @Mr. RetroLust I wanted to let you know about an issue with the background image in the options menu (you might already know). In the first options menu the background image looks normal and correct ratio but when you enter the options menu the background image looks cropped. On my 1080P monitor it looks fine but on my 1440P that is where it looks cropped. Its not a big deal, I think the issue started when you redesigned the theme with the theme creator.

    Genesis State

    Great looking theme for the Sega Genesis platform. Since the videos are a large size in the theme I would like to see some scanlines added to the video footage but of course I love scanlines with all the retro stuff.:DI also personally would rather see the front box art on the left instead of the screenshots but thats just my opinion.

  3. All you have to do is drop the xml file into your LaunchBox\Data\Playlists folder and as long as you have those games in your collection. NES Black Box should show up in your playlist section of Launchbox the next time your open LaunchBox. I just downloaded this xml and put it in my folder like I explained above and it worked perfect.

    Futurestate Theme

       4,023    31

    @Hexxxer Glad to see you back at it...the Futurestate theme is one of my favorites! There has been a lot of great features added since Futurestate was created..I would love to see a fullscreen platform view added with Grilla's code of the faded in and out clear logos and maybe some added game views but whatever you do,please do not get rid of the game view with the scanlines. That is my favorite game view but I would maybe like to see the boxart maybe a little smaller in that view since sometimes it blocks the video when using the Hyperspin themes for the arcade platform. I am a sucker for scanlines:) Whatever you come up with I am sure it will be great!
