I'm getting the same crash on the latest beta (and only since updating to the latest). Every time I open up LB and then select any game from any platform, LB immediately crashes. If I go into BB, no crashes at all.

You'll have to use the ICO file; Windows won't recognize a PNG or JPG, etc, for shortcut icons. If you make a shortcut to the EXE and change the icon of that shortcut, it will last forever. The only way it would break is if you completely change where you have LB installed or if you use a program like Resource Hacker to modify the images inside the EXE. Just use the ICO to modify a shortcut and you won't need to mess with it again (even after LB updates)

I've been getting these same kinds of crashes lately, as well, but not very frequently; they occur while going through different games in my collections and only happens in BB mode. I was also getting them once the startup videos were changed to be played back, natively, in the LB/BB engine. About 1 in 5 times, BB would crash right after the startup video finished. I've disabled Startup videos for now and haven't seen anyone mention it, so figured it was probably something on my end causing it.

Hi @Biyakuga I attached an ICO you can use, if you wish, if you want to modify a shortcut (you would be correct that the icon would revert back to what it is now if you modified the existing EXE since it would be overwritten every time a new version is released). Being you were talking about matching Windows 10, it's just flat white, so nothing special or fancy, but matches the existing icons for the Start Menu, Xbox App, Store, etc. Totally not trolling you ; just trying to help out. I don't think it's an unreasonable request, but like has been said, if it is even something on Jason's radar to do, it's probably not very high and I think most are okay with what already exists. lb-icon.ico

Super Nintendo Game Themes (4:3) View File This is mainly just a placeholder; I won't be actively making SNES themes until I get more done for PC and finish PS2 (and I'm also waiting to see if there will be more HyperSpin themes made available, too). In any case I'll be doing these in 4:3 to keep them the same as the HyperSpin themes @Riffman81 has already uploaded. I will do each one in two different flavors: One with a soundtrack and one with just the game audio (no soundtrack in the filename). I'll also be adding soundtracks to all of the HyperSpin themes I've downloaded since that is what I like and unless there is interest, I probably won't upload those versions, but putting it out there in case there is. This will also be the home for Super Famicom themes once I get around to those. Playlist: 1. Super Metroid 2. Super Metroid (no soundtrack) 3. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars 4.

Seems it has to be a Retroarch core and the core itself also has to support them. For instance, I was looking at some of my NES games that have achievements through Retroachievements, but none of them would unlock. I tried with both the Nestopia and FCEUMM Retroarch cores, but neither worked (someone on the Retroachievements site said the FCEUMM core might work; apparently it is know the Nestopia one doesn't). Haven't tried any other cores yet. So far, only SNES achievments have actually worked (I use the bsnes core).

This is super fantastic! Thank you for implementing this! I just went and unlocked 22 achievements in Super Metroid. I'm sure it's already been asked, but is it feasible or realistic that, at some point, something similar could be implemented for displaying Steam, Origin, GOG and uPlay achievements? Like integrating your login for these services (like EmuMovies or RetroAchievements) into LB/BB and displaying them that way?

It's just my regular Gameboy collection setup as a Super Gameboy playlist. I did it more for fun since there was a ROM for the Super GB and I'd probably only play from the Super Gameboy list anyway, for color.

Thanks! I've been working on this LB setup for the last year and half-ish. I've still got at least a couple more years left for all the videos I still need to make for each game. Yeah, I don't really want a bunch of games I know I will never, ever care to play. Odds are, most of what I have now will never get played

My Playlist XMLs are attached. I don't have a Wrestling playlist; just made that as a request and the Looney Tunes one just has two games in it, but here you go!

Sega Mega Drive Platform Theme (version 2 - 16:9) View File This is a slight modification from the original. Might get tweaked further. I'm also rendering one using the Japanese MD logo and will upload it later. Submitter CTRL-ALT-DEFEAT Submitted 10/11/2017 Category Platform Theme Videos

Edit to the above. I see what you mean now. I have Last Played, Most Played and Play Count, in addition to what's in your screenshot. Those are things that won't appear until you actually launch a game from a Playlist. If that doesn't show anything after that, then I'm going to guess it would have to be a bug. And for games completed, you'll have to edit the game's details in LB and check the box in there. Hopefully Jason will add the ability to mark games completed to BB eventually (I put it on the "small things" list).

I guess I'm not sure if you have everything turned on for Platform Details. Platform Details specifically correlates to this view and the one for the actual Platforms... I went through and de-selected options and saw they were gone and came back when I re-selected them. I tested to see if the Filter Details made a difference by turning those on and off, but it doesn't seem to matter if those are selected or not. Can't say it's the theme either because you are using the same one. That's a head scratcher.

Well, depending on what you want to appear there, go into Options in BigBox and then to Platform Details; check the boxes for whatever information you want to be visible. If you don't have something configured, you'll have to do that before the information will actually show and some things won't appear at all (example: default emulator doesn't display under the categories screen. It only appears under the platform screen and only if you associated an emulator to be the default for that platform). For notes, if you right-click the playlist in LaunchBox and edit it, there is a tab for additional notes, so you can add some flavor text for each playlist. If you want some flavor text for the root Playlist category, just right-click that and do the same.

Yeah, I don't like too much clutter and I could probably pare it down even more honestly. It's easy to get that setup; just a few steps: In LaunchBox, I set the view to "Platform Categories"In an empty area in the left-hand column, right-click and choose "Add". Create the new Platform "Playlists" Category here. When you create a Playlist or want to add an existing Playlist to this, edit it and check the "Include this Playlist in Platforms Lists" box and choose your Playlists Category from the drop down. After that, open up BigBox and go to Options -> "Views". Under "Default Startup View", change it to "Platform Categories". Hope that helps!
