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

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.

Are you referring to adding pics to the database, or within LaunchBox itself?

FFS! how the heck do I use commodore 64?????
dragon57 replied to ResidentEvul13's topic in Emulation
I use Vice and have no issue with having things to load up with no intervention. I suggest you start Vice externally and check your Autostart settings. Also, you can add -autostart to the default command line options to see if that sorts things for you.- 58 replies

Arcade games opening in rocketlauncher but not launchbox
dragon57 replied to Digital_Medz's topic in Troubleshooting
Are you launching from a Platform list, or a Playlist? If a Playlist, I think there is a known problem with the information LaunchBox sends to RocketLauncher. -

I'm on it!

Launchbox not launching if run on a network drive/network share.
dragon57 replied to spark_plug's topic in Troubleshooting
If memory serves, the problem relates to a .Net permissions problem and network shares. There is an old post about this if you can find it. -
Here are a few I have done. Feel free to use any or none as you see fit. It is easy enough to changes colors, spacing, etc.

Stellar ~ RetroArch Nightly Updater

Nope, being a coder I understand the logic. Save the user from himself, if you can! -
Stellar ~ RetroArch Nightly Updater

I just noticed the value for Download_SelectedItem in the ini file isn't being honored upon an exit/restart of stellar. Perhaps it is because I selected New Install? -
