Is this still an issue for you? If so, maybe share your version that you are running of LB/BB and a full error. I've only received an actual launch error once and I just erased my existing XML and chose a backup XML (that Launchbox automatically captures for you) and it was good to go. So maybe try that before getting all crazy with troubleshooting.

It's probably not bezel support in RL as I use bezels on NDS and don't have any issues and given the recent popularity of RL and LB mixing things up, I would have expected to have seen more people talking about it. But it may very well be the unmount when you are shutting down The Saturn Emulator. Back before I learned about Retroarch and the Mupen Core, I used Project 64 standalone and it caused this same issue. It was how the emulator opened in fullscreen. It opened to non full, then blinked and jumped to full and it totally screwed Big Box up. When you say it happens on other emulators, do those require a mount of an image as well? Also, how are those being mounted, are you using dtools lite and the RL ahk module? Edit: Apologies I just saw that you were using RA for Atari. That is strange indeed. In that scenario, you are not seeing any artifacts during the transition back to the front end? What version of LB are you running?

What core is being used and what are the options you have set for it at this time? Also, you said you were messing with a custom viewport, did you undo that after you figured out how to change the aspect ratio from core provided to what you wanted?

@Jason Carr Man, I have to say the new forums are way more responsive than the last ones. Not sure if you guys switched board software, but this is way snappier. Keep on growing, you guys are killing it.

Zombeaver, just offering workarounds. I will say this though, I'm curious as to why it would not work in SteamLink. It's just streaming to a different machine right? After really reading your post, I'm curious to try and duplicate the issue (sans Steam Link) what are your automation settings and what controller are you utilizing? I'm only in Launchbox when adding games etc. But I do utilize pcsx2, so I can see if I get any weird behavior. The only emulator to ever give me escape issues was the atari jaguar emulator as escape just pauses the system. Edit: So automation works fine in big box for me as well. I can say this, I never knew you could use controllers in launchbox and controller companion is a pain when launchbox desktop mode is trying to make it's own cursor as well. With that being said, automation didn't work at all for me in desktop mode. But my controller companion worked when I enabled it. Is there a separate setting somewhere for automation in desktop mode or should it carry over from big box? Edit2: Ok, found the option. It was a bit of a pain because it seemed to know it was already bound via big box perhaps? However, I mapped the hold and exit to my thumbsticks on my xbox one controller wireless and all of my ps2 games exited without closing launchbox with them. As for the emulators that aren't closing at all, I'll have to check them out. I'm using a standard Mame build so if you have a link for the version you are using, that would be helpful. Curious, is that a special UI version and why would you need that if launching from Launchbox? Edit3: Just read the old thread. So for one, my suggestion to use AHK wasn't that far fetched as it seems that this is what Jason is using for automation. Not sure if that script is encrypted in some way or if it can be viewed and adjusted. But you shouldnt really need to anyway. Did you ever try a reinstall etc. after that patch came out and you realized you were still having issues? Wonder if maybe there is just a issue with the ahk script not being updated properly or something to that effect.

Zombeavber, 3 dollars and you may want to get controller companion on steam. I use my controller as a mouse and a gamepad and its got custom bindings, virtual keyboard etc. I dumped all of the old hat apps a while back and never looked back. I mapped my xbox one guide button to my retroarch menu and holding the select/back and hitting the same button launches bigbox. For non retroarch emulators, i hold the same select/back button and just hit start instead. You can really do whatever you want with it though.

Came to report the issue in backing out of the options menu myself. This is after the latest beta I've just updated a few minutes ago. Let me know if there is anything I can do to assist. I'm using a standard xbox one wireless controller (non elite) and it works with the exception of that one menu area. I can't use my mapped back button, and I can map it again in that section with no issue. I also noticed that when I enable controller champion with my hotkeys on my gamepad, it enables the app but the mapped keys I used to close BigBox do not respond as well. However, if I do NOT go into that option screen, everything seems fine. On perhaps a more positive note, thanks for bringing back the flat box view, not a big wheel fan and didn't like Coverflow. However I loved the flat scrolling box art at the top with video playback below etc. And I'm stoked for the xaml editing. Good work all.

Jason Carr in regards to the video playing in the background, was there a specific emulator that was being used? I noticed that videos were playing in the background for Project64 and ended up removing my video snaps for the time being. However, I never reported that as it looks to be a result of how P64 opens to full screen mode and not a bug in launchbox/bigbox.

Jason Carr didn't meant to be harsh. I have an admittedly bad taste in my mouth from experience with the hyperspin people and the front end started to take a very hyperspin turn. I know that some people enjoy all of the flash, but I was happy enough with flat images and functional video snaps with a front end that did all of the heavy lifting for me, you are really doing great work here I was just knee jerk reacting to some changes.

You arent the only one. I for one am not interested in purchasing a copy of what looks to be turning into a mix of a modded Wii and Hyperspin. That view was the best one thus far in my opinion so I hope that the non flashy view crowd don't get overlooked. I bought this for simplicity and to get away from all of the flash of Hyperspin's over the top front end.
