It is a jpg or png file,correct? Do you see the image in your edit window for that game inside of LaunchBox under Images and is it listed as clear logo?

Awesome, glad you got it sorted!

Yes you can always go back and scrape from emumovies at any time after the install. In my opinion you would be better off getting a paid subscription to emumovies since 10GB will be used up fairly quickly downloading videos for a large collection. I was not aware that they offered 10gb per day with a free account but you do need a emumovies account in order to download from LaunchBox.

LaunchBox does show this option in the game details bar as shown in pic. Also make sure you have it enabled in the options as well.

One suggestion you could do if you wanted to prioritize Steam poster over Box Front and you would not have to delete anything is just move Steam Posters to the top in LaunchBox options under the Box Front priorities like shown in this picture. Since no other platform but Steam uses Steam posters, it will not mess up your Box Front priorities for other platforms as well.

11.9 is about 6 months old right now so installing the latest 11.12 is definitely a step in the right direction toward getting your problem figured out.

The new beta 2 has messed up the curved wheels views in @CriticalCid Unified theme and @Jason Carr Unified Redux theme to where they no longer curve correctly. Those are the two themes so far I have noticed. The default theme curved wheels views seem normal.

I have not heard of that DIY project that you mentioned but am interested. I am not really that pleased with my Sinden lightgun and its software to tell you the truth so will check out that project you mentioned.

The problem with the game wheel performance issue seems to be resolved in Beta 3?

@Jason Carr @C-Beats A new issue has popped up with 11.11 beta 2. The games view in Bigbox has very severe lagging when scrolling through the wheels. The platform views doesn't seem to suffer this when scrolling through the platforms only the game views. I rolled back to 11.11 beta 1 just to confirm and that beta does not have that issue and also tested on two different machines.

I just tested and I am getting no errors in the log at this time. I still think something is up however because its still not working correctly but I am not sure if it is something not right with Ledblinky , BigBox or my Ultrastik 360 joysticks. Sometimes when I choose a game and press enter to enter the game the BigBox wheel will scroll up one game entering that game instead of the game I chose. Also sometimes when I exit a game the BigBox wheel will go crazy or the choose by letter bar will appear and it will start scrolling through it like there is phantom joystick presses even though I am not touching the joystick. This only happens when I enable the ultrastiks in ledblinky. When I disable them and still have ledblinky enabled everything seems to work normal but of course making my ultrastik joystick's useless. @arzoo Does Launchbox have to have something in the code in order for the start and stop events for the Ultrastik to work correctly for the mapping?

I had been having those same error codes in my ledblinky log as well a few months ago "No ROM Specified for Game Start event. Missing Parameter?"but I havent fired up my arcade cabinet in a while to test. I remember having some issues with my Ultrastik 360's changing maps and if I remember correctly it was related to that error. I was mostly testing with BigBox when this error occurred. I can turn my cabinet on tonight and test again to see if I am still getting those errors but I believe it has been going on for quiet a while now and not something that was just introduced in a new beta or release.

Thanks Jason...your backlog must be huge!!?

I can confirm that LaunchBox does take a little bit longer for startup. Its not drastic on my PC but I think its about 4 to 5 seconds longer than it used to be. Populating games is where it seems to be taking the longest on startup.

I will use Street Fighter II Champion Edition as an example. Lets say I ran the full mame set importer and I chose to prioritize North America as the region when I originally imported the roms. It will import sf2ceua as the default rom for that game which is correct for that region. I decide after the import to change to sfce as my default rom for that game which is the world version. So the problem lies in if I decide to run the full mame importer again later to check for any new games that might have added as working. If I choose the same settings as before and choose North America as the region it overwrites my sfce world rom as the default and chooses the sf2ceua rom. Is there anyway for the full mame set importer to not overwrite if you have chosen a different variant/clone as the default than what was originally imported?

I have spent more countless hours than I care to admit with diagnosing issues with my Ultrastiks and BigBox. I was almost ready to rip them out of my arcade. For some reason Ultrastiks and BigBox are very finicky with each other and LEDBlinky plays a part in this to if you are using ledblinky to send the ultrastik maps to MAME. I have experienced that same issue you described along with others. I think the one thing that doesn't get along with Bigbox is the changing of maps when entering and (especially) exiting of games. I found that they do not like enable all controllers enabled in the BigBox options menu. Another thing I found is the BigBox startup and exit themes really help as well. They give a little pause so the ultrastik can change its map when entering a game and most importantly the exit screen gives a little pause when exiting from a game back into BigBox, so make sure you have startup themes and exit screens enabled.

Just tried the new version out and the search bar works great. Looking good!

One thing I noticed when playing around with the theme is when you pull up the search by letter bar, it is partially cutoff. I thought it was because I am using a 1440P monitor but it happens on my 1080P as well.

Got you taken care of. Theme looks great!

That would be great indeed for the importer to save the variant/clone default information when re running the arcade full set importer again. @Jason Carr The full MAME Arcade set Importer respects games that you have hidden in your Arcade platform when you run the importer again and does not unhide the games which is good. The importer does not however respect if you have changed a specific game to a variant/clone as the default. When you run the importer again it defaults the rom back to the region you choose during import. Would it be possible to have the importer save the variant/clone you have set as the default during the re import process so it does not get changed back to the region default? I like to run the importer again every so often to check for new games that have been updated as working.

I recently ran the mame full arcade set importer again and it did respect the games I had hidden but I had a different experience with the games I had a different variant/clone chosen as a default. The full mame arcade set importer changed the variant/clones I had set. For instance I have sfiii3n no cd version chose as my default for Street Fighter III 3rd Strike and when I ran the importer it changed it to whatever region I chose in the import process (ex. North America, World, etc.). I am curious did you run the full mame arcade set importer again or just the regular import rom files importer?

One thing I noticed while I was hiding a few games this weekend on the Arcade platform was when you edit a single game and hide it, LaunchBox returns you to the top of the games list. It does not do this when you bulk edit and hide games, only when you hide one game at a time. If my memory serves me correctly I thought this was fixed a while ago if you had dynamic box resizing turned off?

I just did some testing for about 30 minutes or so and it is working really well. I have been through about 5 of my themes and set different views and it saved everything correctly even the themes like Unified where you need a different game view with the cd disc spinning vs the cart image on non disc games. One thing I did also that made it easier was I unchecked in the global settings "Use a different view per platform" and only checked that box in the theme specific settings if I wanted that option in the particular theme. I have always used a hotkey to change views anyway and never changed them in the options menu so you can see in live time what view you are changing to. This new feature is an awesome addition and major time saver. I will be downloading more themes now and doing further testing over the weekend. Awesome job @Jason Carr
