Doing some minor changes (publisher, dates, star graphics)
dragon57 replied to radicalblues's topic in Noobs
Did you make a copy of the Default theme and are you editing from the copy? The Default theme gets reset to the original code upon restart of LaunchBox. -
You got it. Might be a couple days, or longer. I had a database server crash I need to fix. Having said that, doing rings is more fun, so I may mix it up a bit. :)

@Starbuck Are you referring to platform logo rings, or rings for the games themselves?

After creating the Arcade platform and importing just the games, right-click the Arcade platform name in the left column, select Edit, then click on the Folders tab. You can point the different categories to different folders there.

Can you take a screen shot of the screen and circle the pic you are talking about? Even the default theme has numerous views, so without knowing which one you are referring to makes it hard to answer your question.

I have attached my 8ball.zip file which has the lay and bezel file in it. 8ball.zip

Did you follow the installation instructions to unblock the dll files?

Irfanview and XnView are other good free programs. https://www.irfanview.com/ https://www.xnview.com/en/

You should be able to download it from within LaunchBox. A Unified platform theme video shows up in the list.

Questions About Windows 10 For LaunchBox Performance
dragon57 replied to bvcbcvbcvbcvbvcbvcbcv's topic in Noobs
Honestly, the vast majority of those utilities that claim to 'tune' your OS installation just cause more trouble than they are worth. When others come to me about Windows 10 tuning, I only reference two things. I carefully use the O&O Windows 10 Shutup app and Black Vipers service listings for the OS you are tuning. Even then, you must be careful what you disable. Read up on each thing you turn off/disable before you do it. -
All, I have updated the archive with the past and most recent requests. You can get it here:

@sundogak Good catch. I'll add these to my work load queue. This may take a few days. I have other commitments ahead of these.

FYI, the TurboGrafx 16 bezel set does not exist yet. It is next on the agenda.

Some games not loading from mapped network drive
dragon57 replied to vertigoelectric's topic in Troubleshooting
It is going to be quite difficult to get help without some type of error message. You would just be shooting in the dark. A couple of things I can think of to test are: 1. make sure the permissions to the network location are correct. 2. Try starting a game from the network share via the command line using the emulator setup in LaunchBox. You may see a message that is hidden otherwise. -

Startup Screens, Pause Screens, and Bezels Discussions
dragon57 replied to Jason Carr's topic in News and Updates
I play my games on very large screens, so I generally use bezels to take up some of that space. It is hard enough to get large display output to look half way decent in old games anyway, so I am not a fan of stretching the output. I used to use Rocket Launcher for everything. I even wrote my own modules. I made that guy sing and dance! Having said that, I ripped it out of my cab not too long ago because the effort to keep things working was just too much. I now use MAME and Retroarch for the majority of my systems with the built in bezel functions. I am much happier now. I also use the built in support for CHD file format in Retroarch when available, so I don't have to wait on large extraction times. There is work to support the latest CHD format (V5 at the time of this post) in more and more cores, so needing to use an old version of chdman will hopefully go away soon. For those systems that don't support bezels, I wrote my own simple bezel code that works well for me. The only feature I miss from Rocket Launcher is pause support. I would like the ability to display controller button assignments either from a database, or just static jpb/png files. I could probably extend my bezel code for this, but since I knew work would eventually be considered for LB/BB, I have held off. -
There are three different platform type videos available for PinBall FX2 from the LaunchBox "Download Platform/Playlisst Theme Videos" choice in Options.
