Went ahead and ran the core updater. Guess what I had wasn't new enough! BOOYAH. loaded the m3u both outside launchbox and inside launchbox! Thank you so much for sticking it out with me! Phew.
-
yeah, it must be something in retroarch, since it's also a black screen there, outside of launchbox. Opening both of our m3u files in notepad++ and switching tabs back and forth shows no difference. So I have the same m3u. Roms: Dracula Unleashed (USA) (Disc 1).chd & Dracula Unleashed (USA) (Disc 2).chd launchbox settings same as yours. It's gotta be something inside retroarch somewhere. Want to just do an anydesk remote session so you can get into my retroarch directly and see?
-
yeah i only checked that because i thought it might make a difference. unchecked. no dice. also launched m3u in retroarch, black screen. nothing happening. weird. not much i can do about the m3u, it's just two entries that match the roms lol. So, must be some retroarch thing I have no clue about now.
-
Maybe it's a hidden setting in launchbox emulator setup or something. But I just re-named to your style, and my m3u is Dracula Unleashed (USA).m3u with lines just like yours. rom files renamed to match. and it is still just a black screen in retroarch. nothing happening. 1.21.0 as well. I even have "use m3u playlist" check marked in the edit emulator window. unless there's some default command line parameters that aren't in there, or something. I have no clue.
-
This is my m3u: Dracula Unleashed (Disc1) (USA).chd Dracula Unleashed (Disc2) (USA).chd Yeah, that's why it made no sense to me, because i've seen that this core supports it. Don't know if there's anything else inside retroarch I need to activate or what. But it's just a black screen and retroarch never starts. First disc starts fine on it's own if i point launchbox to it.

Genesis plus gx.

has anyone got this working? my m3u when launched with launchbox just shows retroarch with a black screen. It looks like now retroarch can handle m3u lists, and I have a game with 2 discs .CHD in an m3u playlist. pointing launchbox to the playlist instead of the Disc 1 entry. It works when I launch disc 1 on its own. But nothing at all when i launch the m3u.

Just did this for my sega saturn install, which has all the roms (cue,bin) inside a folder, and it just broke everything because it didn't search for the "rom" files within any of the similarly named game folders, it's just looking in the root folder now lol.
-
ok i didn't pick up on the filename being the rom filename. SORRY! haha. That did it! WOW. Thanks! That's a perfect way around it. I appreciate your patience with me! @thefritz11@mattirawks use this new default.xml I attached for this theme in order to have Launchbox look for an image in the \Custom Startup Images folder that is named after your ROM filename. A useful utility to help rename your images to rom names is a program called FuzzyRename Default.xaml

LaunchBox\Images\Custom Startup Images\Sega 32X\Pitfall_The Mayan Adventure.png SelectedGame.Title, changed to SelectedGame.ApplicationFileNameWithoutExtension startup theme still shows a black screen when launching that game. In fact, it broke the entire theme, and all games, regardless of the colon/underscore filename format, no longer show the custom images named exactly the same as the game title. That's wild. How about database ID stuff? Can we get this theme xml to tell launchbox to look for the database id number then? vs. the game name title, which it apparently just cannot see when looking through this theme lol.

Yes, that is why this is so perplexing, because I have the file's named as their literal title. (Pitfall_The Mayan Adventure.png). I changed those lines, but now it shows the box art stretched to fill the entire screen. The point of this theme is to pull from a specific folder, so we can put specific startup images that we've made in there, outside of the normal launchbox directories for images. Maybe this is a larger issue with launchbox not being able to see the underscore file names as it usually does because it is looking through a theme's eyes? I can show video proof of the images being named exactly as you say launchbox requires, and then launching with a black screen when trying to pull from the specific folder specified in this startup theme, then launching with the correct image when the game name doesn't involve a colon being replaced by an underscore. Or maybe there's an option/value that could be added to launchbox's xml viewing capabilities and folder structure that allows for a new folder within each platform titled say, "Custom Startup Image". so that way you could use the following code line: <Image Source="{Binding Path=ActiveGame.CustomStartupImage}" /> , and launchbox would look in a folder it knows to be default and maybe have an easier time locating images?

Yes, these images were made with the community theme creator, using the fanart background images downloaded in launchbox. The game does have a launchbox db id present within launchbox (9079). I just tried it as you described (Pitfall_ The Mayan Adventure.png), and it was still a black screen for the startup screen. I've tried the romname, the launchbox name with a dash, the launchbox name with the underscore now, and also the launchbox id number. Always shows a black screen. But all the other games for this platform (Sega 32X), the first one I'm trying this startup theme out on, work, as long as they are a game image file that doesn't involve a broken up name with any character. So games like "After Burner", and "Mortal Kombat II" with the image name of "After burner.png", and "Mortal Kombat II.png", work. I'm thinking that if someone could just edit the config xml to be able to reference and handle games with the underscore, or a dash for two-part names that would be amazing. @JoeViking245any ideas? or know of anyone I could contact that might be able to make this start up theme match these types of titles better?

Can someone work on this simple startup theme to fix the broken image lookup when a game title has a dash like this: Pitfall - The Mayan Adventure. I've noticed any game that has a dash in the image file just shows a black screen. But image file names that are just one or two words not separated by a dash, load up just fine. Could someone edit this to maybe just match with the normal launchbox image file names or database id #'s that the CTC exports images as?

Thanks. I will wipe the tears from my eyes, drink some kiefer, compose myself, and look much harder next time. Lol. -
BigBox: Turn off "Game Over" Screen for Windos Games?
damageinc86 replied to RobertBlum's topic in Troubleshooting
It would be great if we could also edit the delay length of the startup screen in the bulk edit window
