Hi again mate. Ive been using old launchbox with rbtray without any problem. Now, im moving to .next, but I cant find a way to make rbtray work again with .next. Could u tell me a solution for this?
RBTray seems to be broken with the latest .Next, however Min2Tray seems to work fine. Get it here: https://junyx.breadfan.de/min2tray/

I just realized clear logos are not being displayed in Next when I click on a game image. I have double checked the background priorities choices in Options and Clear Logo is first in the list, then Fanart - Background. I have even unchecked Clear Logo, then gone back and reselected it with no change in behavior. Am I the only one who sees this?
I have not noticed this in regular Launchbox.

OK, all. I have diagnosed/solved my strange scrolling issue.
First, sorry for a false alarm. I should have known where to look after what I had been doing to this machine. I usually make a rule to not change more than one thing at a time, but I blame my medications for making my brain foggy. ?
I ordered a Dreamcade Replay device from Kickstarter and was just informed they ship out soon. I wanted to make sure all my controllers work with Windows 10 since the Replay will come with Windows 10 as the OS. I have been testing all my controllers, calibrating them, etc. Even though the controllers were found to all work, what I have not experienced in the past was a calibration being forgotten when a controller was unplugged, then plugged back in. All the issues were caused by one controllers calibration settings being reset. What I don't understand is why it took some time in Launchbox for the issue to show up, and how a restart of Launchbox seemed to solve the problem for a bit before reappearing.

So weird. How fast is it moving? I'm trying to rule out what could be causing it.
Sorry, I just saw this question. It moves pretty fast. It appears to move at the same speed as if you hold the up arrow key down and let the auto-repeat kick in. One thing I noticed, if I use the up arrow key to try and replicate the behavior, the arrow key makes the active bar scroll up, then when it hits the top of the list, it jumps up to the drop-down menu above the list. The 'ghostly' behavior doesn't continue past the platform list. It stops at the 'All' entry at the top of the Platform list.

Also, have you tried the latest beta @dragon57? Beta 16? Just in case there was some kind of fluke in a previous beta.
I just updated to the latest beta, 16. All controllers are currently unplugged. I'll make sure nothing amiss is evidenced before I plug any back in.
Also, after installing beta 16, this error just popped up after changing from one platform to another via clicking in the left panel. I can't replicate so far. It has only happened once.
Object is currently in use elsewhere.

Gotcha, so somehow this is simulating the up arrow key being pressed, either inside of LaunchBox or by another application. Another thing to check would be if you have any applications running that would cause keyboard presses (like controller software).
I have no controller apps on this machine. What is strange is when it does happen, if I alt-tab into a different app with a 'page' that could be scrolled the same way, nothing happens. If I alt-tab back into Launchbox, the scrolling starts immediately. I have to say I'm stumped at this point, however I am trying to isolate things.

For the life of me I can't seem to figure out why this would ever be happening. Has anyone else seen this? @dragon57, when it happens, does it just scroll, or does it change the selected item as well?
It changes the selected item. It isn't just the scrollbar itself moving upward.
I have unplugged all controllers and restarted Launchbox. I will see if this stops the behavior and report back any and all observations.

I just updated to the latest beta and am seeing some strange behavior in Launchbox. After the program has run for a bit, the gui acts like I am using the mouse wheel to initiate a scroll such that the Platform names list on the left scrolls to the top all by itself. If I restart Launchbox, all is ok for a while, then all of a sudden, the scrolling starts again. I don't see this in any other app.

@Dan, I have posted a new video for Handheld LCD games in my additions sections for both 16x9 and 4x3. I hope it works for you.

Any chance of doing one for "electronic handheld games"? There are around 2-300 of such games in the MAME set I believe, which are handheld devices of various shapes and sizes.
@Dan, I could probably do one similar to the one I did for Nintendo Game & Watch where I pick out 5 or 6 representative units out of the group. Let me investigate how hard/easy it will be to get the necessary graphic elements.

Great work guys, and thanks Cid
Dragon, Big Box logo looks great, maybe lose the gap inbetween?I was wondering about that. I have seen the name with the space and without it. I honestly have no idea what the official formatting is supposed to be. :)

Simple but effective, thanks for that, it looks great!
@dragon57 I'm so sorry for asking you again, but could you also great a a "Big Box" in that style?
No problem, here you go!

Thanks dragon. I wasn't asking about Vikings or yours in particular - just any that are available.
You mentioned that you used 5 different games, each with its own video recreation - is this for the Game & Watch platform video, or for individual games?
Mine is for the Nintendo Game & Watch platform.

How are the Game & Watch/single handheld games handled in these videos? Is there a video for the Nintendo Game & Watch or is it for all game & watch games? Or is there a video for each? Ideal if it was the latter.
If you are asking about the one I created, below is a screenshot showing the five different games I used. Each has its own video recreation.
-
Here is an "Options" graphic. Also, I can provide any size resolution for the "Unified" and "Options" pictures, so if different versions are needed, just let me know.

I am launching my three games from LaunchBox which are .bin through MAME. I have my correct BIOS files and am using the correct command line but I get an error message saying "Unknown option: -cart 1". Has anyone experienced this problem before?
In your configuration, do you have a space between -cart and the 1? If so, remove it so it reads -cart1.

How does everyone like this logo? I didn't take all the queues from the Hyperspin logo, as I didn't want to step on any toes, but it is reminiscent of it.

Sorry, I should have linked to this:
Check out the instructions in the first post and see if it helps.

Is there any list somewhere of all the platforms covered by these videos?
I have listed the systems I have created in my video additions sections. Viking doesn't list all the systems he created in his original posts, however you can bring up the download page which lists everything uploaded, then you can use the browser's 'find' command and look for any system you are looking for.

Really spectacular, amazing ...
I love these videos ...
Thanks for the work to you and Viking.
And the only thing I feel is that I would be missing two videos, for the systems
NEC TurboExpress and Gaelco ... I guess asking you to do them would be an excess, I'm sorry.
I work with the Gimp very well with the photos and drawings, but to work with videos, I am a true zero ...
In any case, apologies for my poor English and thank you for your work.@zlagos, requests are welcome. I'll add these two to my queue and see what I can come up with.

If your rom naming convention matches the Emumovies file names, you will get a match/download. Like you, I didn't have matches for all my prototypes, so I used the EMU Movies sync tool to download the art assets that was missing. You can also just go to the Emumovies console downloads page for the 2600 and get the zip files for the art your want, e.g. box fronts, box backs, 3D boxes, carts, etc.
