yes sure, I have a lifetime subscription! I can download the themes in that page, many thanks! I have a little question, about Spectabis, the frontend for PCSX2 emulator: I mapped the EXIT command in Launch Box with L2+R2 button on my Logitech pad. It works perfectly with all emulators, but if I run Spectabis it doesn't work. I can't exit from a running game. Do you know if it is possible, only for a specific emulator, to configure specific command in order to do some actions? thank you

thank you guys for all these info! ok, I think that I will use the platform themes from Unified Refried's. But in any case, if I want to download additional Platform thems (with the Launchbox option Tools --> Download Video/Themes), I see that LB chooses, for every platfom/playlist, a theme (1), from a list: Probably LB chooses the best theme for every platform. But for example if I want for all the platfom the same theme (for example Big Box cinematic), i can choose to Prioritize (2) this theme and LB will probably download these theme for each platfom. I think that I can save the additional platform themes in this path \video\platfom\not used. In this way, if I want to change a platform theme, I simply take the theme saved in "not used" and copy it in \video\platform Perfect, sure. I will download every platfom theme available fro Unified, but for the missing themes for Playlist (for MAME and FBA) I will use the themes available with the LB download section. I hope that they will work correctly with the Unified Refrie's theme

wow! it absolutely fantastic! I will try it! So I can download this BB theme and it will be possible in addition to download platform/playlist themes thar perfectly fit with this theme, very good. In addition, I can download the default theme for platform/playlist with Tools--> Download Theme... So, I will have 2 different themes for each platfomr (one downloaded from LB and one with Unified Refried): it means that I can choose which theme I prefer to load in BB? I mean: i can download and save more than one theme for each platfom. Really good!

don't worry, thanks. I'm using CAPTURA, it is really easy to use, I'm recording by myself the missing video, it is really quick As soon as I finished to download all the missing media files in all my platforms in LB, I will start to configure themes in BB, that is fun I would like to add games themes like these I suppose that they are available for every console/game, more or less. Currently in BB I still have the default theme, with no games themes, no system themes, and so on... And I would like to use a theme with wheels: I want every Platform/Playlist in a wheel and then all the games of each platfom in wheel

ah! I usually update the MAMEUI fullset, not the MAME. FOr this reason I have already updated the fullset: i found the upgrade pack from 0.200 to 0.221 but probably it isn't official because MAME 0.221 isn't released yet. So, starting from next month, I will update my MAMEUI only when MAME too will be updated. After that, I will wait a new LB release in order to be quite sure that it will consider the new MAME version, am I right? But I still have a questioN: there is no way to understanrd if the new LB version can consider the new MAME version, am I right? Or is it displayed in MAME.xml file? thank you

perfect, many thanks, understood. So, every month, at the beginning of the month, I update my fullset with clrmame. After that, it is better to wait a new LB version before to update the fullset in LB too, am I right? Unfortunately it is not possible to see in LB which MAME version is currently supported. in the MAME.xml file I don't find the mame version currently updated...I see only this: <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> In LB I have loaded the 0.220 fullset. And some days ago I updated it with your steps the fullset to 0.221. thank you!

aaaah ok! thanks, it's clear! So,every month, when i update my MAME fullset, in order to update it also in LB, I only need to run again the full set import, unckecking ALL the media files. In this way, it automaticaly verify the new/deleted roms. After that, in order to update media files for new roms, I choose ALL the mame games, and Tools --> Download MEdia and Metadata, without overwriting the existing ones. At the end, in order to remove the unnecessary media, Tools --> Delete Media. Am I right? thanks!

thanks, I solved the issue following this topic: and this video , see the last 10 minutes. , It works perfectly now! thanks!

exactly, LB/BB are absolutly awesome! Now I'm adding missing extrafiles for some games: I have to check for every platfom/playlist, all the games without media and manually check again if they are available. For some games, video aren't available and I would like to record them by my self from the emulator. Do you know a quick method in order to record a video from the pc, when an emulator is running? thanks!

absolutely clear, thanks! I have created all the playlist for MAME too and I dediced to have only he MAME's playlist available in BB too Currently in BB I still have the default theme: I plan to download a new theme, in order to see the games on a wheel, with their video/box and description. I think that more than one theme like this is available for download. And I want that every Platform/Playlist in BB has each own image/intro: is it possible, am I right? In Tools --> Download Video Theme for each Platform/Category. It is really useful

Well, I followed what you said, and after my MAME update, i import again all the fullset without media. Then I noticed a strange behaviour... I tried to use the option Tool --> Check Deleted rom for MAME --> it detected 55 roms not present in my MAME roms folder. But it isn't true. For example, Ray Crisis is one of these roms. In my roms mame folder this game has only a chd file: but LB detect a .zip file that I don't have in my roms folder, as you see in my previous screenshot. If I use the "Check Deleted rom for MAME" and I delete them, Ray Crisis disappears from LB, but of course it is available in MAME because it use the chd file. I don't understand how can LB detect a .zip file that currently I don't have in the MAME roms folder... If i import again the fullset, LB reload the 55 deleted romd and Ray Crisis is staill available, of course. Can you help me? thanks!

ah! Thansk, perfect! I changed as you said and it automatically moved the Playlist "Neo Geo MVS" under MAME and it look for games in my MAME roms folder, perfect I noticed that I can't have the same playlist both Under Final Burn Alpha and MAME: if I choose both Platform, i have the same playlist in both Platform, but every game obviously is double: It's strange...LB should be allow to have same playlist in more than one Platform. If I want same playlist in both Platform, I have to create manually each Playlist, i have no other way I think..

thanks! It's strange, I only have these playlist under MAME platform, with Platform Category view, and you can see how I imported the fullset (i tried to reimport it, without media, several times, but nothing changed): But if I changed the view for "PLAYLIST" i see a lot of playlist, and here is for example the Arcade SNK Neo GEo MVS, but this playlist is from Final Burn Alpha. As a lot of the other playlist.... for MAME I have only the 19 playlist in the picture above...I'm sure that a lot of playlist for MAME are missing...it is not possible that for Final Burn Alpha I have more playlist than MAME...but I don't know how to make available the missing playlist for MAME too

thanks!

thank you very much! 1) the 2nd option could be good, but also the 1st one. But the problem is that I don't have a NEO GEO Playlist...during the Full MAME import, LB didn't create it... 2) With this playlist, is it possible to view it in BB this playlist as a Platform, with its own "system theme" and so on? thanks!

Hi, I imported in LB with normal import roms files tool, the PGM2 MAME (it is a special hacked MAME version): it has only 7 different games (with some clones/different region). I imported them correctly, but when I run a game, it appears a pop up error: "MAME - Error loading plugin.ini". I have this error ONLY if i run games with LB. If I run them using the PGM2MAME v0193+.exe file the pop up doesn't appear. It's really strange... do you know how can I solve it? thanks!

yes my OS is in italian...but at the beginning LB was completly in english...when i tried to swtich it to Italian, well, now it is not possiblr to completley switch in english...probably is a bug. Ok, finally I finished my MAME import! And I checked all the missing media (about 60GB missing!). After an additional scan as you suggested, not I have all the media for MAME. I will update it trying as suggested here in the forum: import again the fullset, but unchecking all the media. In this way it will import only the new roms. After that I can download their media ad you know. Probably I have to use also the 2 option in red in my previous screen...i will try. Do you know if it is possible to visualize the MAME playlist also in BigBox? currently I see in BB all the games, without any playlist (i suppose that it is possible to search a game, anyway), it is not so comfortable... last question: usually i play Neogeo games with MAME. But I would like to see a specific "neo geo" system in LB/BB, with only the neogeo fullset and playing it of course with MAME.exe. Is it possible to configure LB in order to do this? I suppose that I have to create a new Emulator, this time named Neo Geo even if I will use again MAME. But i suppose that I have to manaully search and duplicate all the neo geo roms from mame full set in a specific folder.... is it correct? thank you!

none can help me? thank you!

ah ok...but in this way, after the new import, I have to download the media download in this way: I choose one MAME game, then CTRL+A in order to select them all, and then "Tools --> Media and metadata" and then before the import I have to choose the 2nd option: Correct? In any case, which is the function of the 4 options (2 in red and 2 in blue) in my picture above? Just to know thank you!

Hi, I have loaded in Launchbox my MAME full set 0.220, and I update once for month my full MAME romset, using ClrmamePro. In order to update it in LB (i mean, update the renamed roms, detect new roms, or delete obsolete roms), which is the right option in LB? In the picture below, the 2 options in red are useful I suppose to detect added/deleted MAME roms, and automatically update only these roms in LB, am I right? But how LB can detect renamed roms? And what about the 2 options in blue? When I have to use them? https://i.postimg.cc/zBZWgrJc/Immagine2.png I'm sorry but due to a language issue, I can't show you the picture in english... even if i set ENGLISH in my Launchbox options, it shows some options in italian...I don't know why... But I think that it is clear, the icons on the menu are the same in every language thank you for your help!

perfect, many thanks! I will do this action for other platforms, it seems that I have same problem. I find a little issue for language: even if I choose English, my LB menù is only partially in English: i mean, some menù are in english, but for example alle the VIEW and TOOLS options are still in italian...do you know why? I update once for month my full MAME romset. In order to update it on LB (i mean, update the renamed roms, or to detect new roms, or to delete obsolete roms), which is the right option in LB? In the picture above, the 2 options in red are usefult to detect added/deleted MAME roms, but how LB can detect renamed roms? And what about the 2 options in blue in picture above? I'm sorry but due to the language issue I can't show you the picture in english... many thanks for your help!

perfect, I will follow this rule

thanks!

ah ok! I prefer to keep MAME as Platform, so I entered in each pplaylist --> Edit --> Auto populate tab --> Platform: from Arcade to MAME and everything works again I have some quick question, just to know how to correctly manage LB and MAME for the future: 1) this is my current and final LB configuration: but in Manage emulator section, I have configured in this way. Is it correct? Or have I to change the platform field from Arcade to MAME in this section too, in the Associated Platform field? 2) I have the mame full set (only chd files are missing) and I imported it with this configuration: So, is it normal in your opinion that LB loaded "only" 2912 different games? And what I have to do, for example, if now I want to add some categories that i skipped during my first import, for example Quiz games and Fruite games, but avoiding to import again ALL the romset? I don't know it my request is clear... 3) It seems that LB didn't downloaded any video HD...and it didn't download, very often, a lot of extra files for a lot of games. But for sure they are available. I entered in some games without extrafiles, Edit --> Downlaod Media, and LB detect a lot of extra files... i don't know why it didn't detected them during the import....... Is it possible to check again, only form MAME games, all the missing extrafiles in order to download them? If I have to do Edit --> Download extra files for each game, it is really hard...there are 3000 games to check...:( thank you!

Hi guys, I imported all my mame fullset, with subcategories, after many hours... but I have a problem. During the import I named the emulator as "Arcade" and at the end of the process LB created an Additional "Arcade" section under the Parent "Arcade" (where I still have Taito Type X, Sammy Atomiswave, etc). Every subcategory had its games. At the end I renamed the Platform as "MAME" and manually moved every subcategory under MAME, in this way: and so the final result: But now every subcategory is empty! I only have displayed all the 2912 mame games if i choose "MAME". I tried to reimport it in order to see if LB fix this issue, but it doesn't! And it import again all the mame fullset with all the media! I aboted the process, I don't want to re-import all the fullset. Can you help me please? thank you very much
