I have been using the Unified CTC theme using platform view 2 using VLC lately. I really haven't tried any other themes other than the default and I could not reproduce the issue with the default theme. But I also have not used the default theme as much either. I think it is going to be a tough nut to crack because it is random and like was mentioned earlier it only happens about 20 percent of the time. I also think it only happens randomly when I don't have "Skip Game Details Screen View" checked in the options as well.

@cor094 I have this issue as well. Did you try different themes besides Unified Refried to see if they all had the same issue before you reverted?

My controls issue with the keyboard/controller appears to be fixed in beta 7 along with the game view videos resuming correctly with "Skip Game Details View" unchecked in the settings. The platform view videos does not always resume when exiting from the game view screen but does the majority of the time. The CD not resuming spinning in certain game views with "Skip Game Details View" unchecked must be theme specific because the cd spinning does resume correctly with Unified and Unified Redux that I tested but not with Unified CTC.

It is definitely some kind of controller/keyboard issue with beta 5 and 6. When I use my keyboard on those betas several inputs do not work. When I use my 360 controller it works way better but not perfect. For example I will get a double button press will register vs a single button press when I skip the startup video sending me to the game view instead of the platform view. Also when you update through BigBox the Update box takes up the whole screen where as previously the box was smaller.

Yes I am still having same issues in beta 6. None of my controls work like pressing a button to bypass startup video or ESC which is set to my back button. The arrow keys work however to scroll the wheel. I roll back to beta 4 and do not have the startup issues.

I had to roll back to beta 4 because beta 5 I was only able to test one time because most of my controls would not work on beta 5 and I had to kill BIgBox in task manager on multiple occasions. The one time I was able to test it looked like the videos in the game view was resuming correctly upon exiting a game but the platform view would not resume correctly the majority of the time until I moved the wheel. Also I noticed that the game views that had the cd spinning did not resume spinning as well upon exiting a game until I moved the wheel. This is also all with the "Skip Game Details Screen" unchecked

One thing I noticed while having VLC chosen as the media player in BigBox. When you exit out of a game, the game video autoplays on the game details screen but then when you exit out of the game details screen into the regular game view the video does not autoplay until you move the wheel to another game. The videos do autoplay correctly however if you have WMP chosen as the media player or have the "Skip Game Details Screen" chosen as an option. This might have been going on for a while and did not notice since I have skip game details screen chosen most of the time.

I did not time it but have a AMD 5900x so it was fast already but I even noticed a 3 to 4 second decrease in startup time and in my arcade cabinet with a 8700K probably about the same decrease, maybe a little more. Both LaunchBox installs on a ssd hard drive.

Definitely notice the faster startup times.☺️

Have you looked into this?

Yes actually the developer that was managing the libretro core for Duckstation has stepped away and not pushed any updates to the core in a while, so the Retroarch team has decided to put there main focus back on the Swanstation core again and has been pushing a lot of updates the last couple of months to the core. At least on the windows side so I am assuming the same for Android.

I am really liking this improvement as you will not have to cycle through all the views if you have a hotkey assigned to the change view button.

Yep that is correct. I was half asleep when I tried last night. Did not read the part about changing the emulator again. I had assumed since I had the emulator set correctly the first time I imported manually, it would carryover. All is working well know, sure does save a lot of time using this importer vs having to do every game manually with how the eboot files are in the folder structure.

@jayjay Just wanted to let you know that I just tried out the importer and it imports all the ps3 games but I do not think it is writing to the Sony Playstation 3.xml correctly even though the game paths are correct. I imported all my ps3 games via the plugin and the only one that launched was the one I imported manually. I think it is because launchbox used different xml files when this plugin was created.

If it is MAME that you are using, do you have those same two buttons mapped inside of MAME the same as you do in LEDBlinky?

Thanks I must have overlooked that one.

@sucramjd Great job on these themes as they have really help complete my teknoparrot collection. I have downloaded all your packs on the forum but I seem to be missing 2 video themes that you have made that you posted here in this topic which is Contra Evolution and R Tuned Ultimate Street Racing. Did you upload these 2 themes on the forum?

Yep love that feature....been waiting on that one for quiet a while!

Have you looked into LedBlinky? LaunchBox does have support for LEDBlinky which has the ability to send ultrastik maps to the U360s. They even have a "No Led" so you can use the program even if you do not have led buttons or lights on your cabinet so therefore you could just use LedBlinky just for sending maps. I have U360s myself and would love to see some integration with LaunchBox via a plugin but in the meantime using LedBlinky works as well for me. If Jason has enough interest I am sure he would consider adding it in. There is also a request on bitbucket as well to add a Ultrastik plugin so feel free to upvote it and add your comments. https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/2381/ultramap-plugin
