thanks! i didn't notice that menu in LB! Yes, i have updated it and now i'm able to use the new feature in LB! Speaking about bigbox, in Manage themes --> Installed - With Updates (0) i don't have any update for my Neon Arcade theme. And if i enter into the Installed section, i can see this: Do you know if if there is something wrong of if is it normal in that way? thanks!

thanks! I removed this: and it perfectly works now Please, can you help me with this issue too?

Hi i have just updated LB to 13.5 version and now i would like to use the new Game Details Pop up feature. I'm using, both in LB and in BB the NEon Deluxe Arcade theme. I'm not able to activate the new Pop up feature, probably it is necessary to update the Neon Deluxe Arcade theme? I have checked here the LB theme: and it seems that i still have the latest version. How can i know if i have the latest version of the theme in LB and big box? I checked in Big Box but into the Manage Themes menu it isn't present a "Check for theme Updates" button, so how can i know if i'm using the newes one? In LB i suppose that in orderr to update the theme i have to download from the link above the lastes .zip file and unzip it into the LBThemes folder. But i checked it and i already have the same files version in that path...so probably i have the latest version.. In Bb i don't know how to detect if a new theme version is available.. thank you!

hi, i have a little issue with LB/BB with MAME bezel's visualization. If i run a mame game directly from mame (i'm currently using arcade64 but it doens't matter), the bezels are perfectly visible in the screen: But if i run the game directly from LB/BB, bezels are cropped: Do you know how can I fix this in LB/BB? thank you!

hi, pleaase can anyoe have an idea how to add the missing playlist? For example, during the automatic import in LB of the MAME fullset, it created the Fighting and BEat em Up playlist. If i try to create the playlist as suggested above, using the .ini files from MAE, i can only create Fighting playlist. Do you know how i can create the Beat em up playlist? I still have the missing playlist that i had when i imported the MAME fullset: but i suppose i can't put them into the Playlist folder because they were related to the MAME full import set. So they aren''t correct for the import of the Arcade64 romset that i perfomed not using the MAME full import method... thanks

thanks! So, i started to create the 21 missing playlist that were available when i imported the MAME fullset. Now i have creater the 2 Players, CHD Working and Balls & Paddles games and then i put them under MAME parent: This is their name: But these 3 playlist don't detect the icon of the playlist and the Clear Logo because the playlist i have created in this way, have different name in the new folder created into the LaunchBox\Images\Playlists section: It seems that in order to automatically detect both Clear Logo and Playlist Icon, i have to rename the Nested Name with the same name of the Playlist icon: In this way, it seems that LB automatically copy the CLear Logo file from the old name folder to the new one. Do you know if i have to rename additional files in order to correctly detect every image of the manually created playlist? Is this the right way? thanks! EDIT: i noticed that a lot of the playlist that were automatically created from LB during the MAME full import aren't available in any of the .ini files into the websites suggested into the topic you opied above (i usually download all those playlist at every mame release). It is quite strange, it seems that LB create by itseld new playlist, not considering any criteria from the .ini file from MAME..? For example I'm unable to find the following 6 playlist: Arcade Beat Em Ups, Arcade Flying Games, Arcade Light Gun Games, Arcade Run & Gun Games, Arcade Shoot Em Ups, Vertically Oriented Games. They aren't present in genre.ini file and in any other .ini file...

please, can anyone help me? thank you very much

i tried to confgiure retroarch, but i don't like it...i prefer to use standalone emulators... in any case, the game shoudl work with the stand alone emulator too... i realluy don't know why they don't correctly work... i don't know if i need to change any setting...

thanks. First of all, i launching every game in this way: File --> Smart Attach --> choose the file --> push Autostart. Is this way the right one? For example, in Last Ninja, i pushed F5 in order to start the game, but after that i don't know how to go ahead after this title screen. I tried all the F button and all the joypad button... https://postlmg.cc/5Hcb05Ms Armalyte, Bubble Bobble, H.E.R.O, IK+.: it ask me to pushg RUN/STOP to start the game...but which are these buttons? Any joypad/keyboard button seems to be mapped to RUN/STOP... Only the SPACE button works (both in joypad and keyboard) in order to read instructions Turrican: i don't know how to go ahead...every button doens't work: https://postimg.cc/18SbjyD3 Creatures: i push F8 but it appear a black screen...and nothing else happens: Creatures 2: after choosing several options, the game freezes immediately, it doesn't start: Enforcer and Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders it appears this screen and i don't know how to go ahead: Impossible mIssion: it works, but only with commands on the keyboard even if i set xbox Joystick into the emulator settings. I'm able to use directional buttons (8, 2, 4, 6 and fire button = 0) on the keyboard. Nothing else. Is it possible to use the joystick? Katakis: i choosed several options and when i start the game, there is a black screen...nothing happens... Maniac Mansion: after the first screen, there is a black screen...and the game doesn't go ahead.. Mayhem in Monsterland: i choosed several options and when i start the game, there is this screen and the game doesn't start... Prince of Persia: works, but as Mission Impossible, i'm not able to use the joystick Skate or Die: black screen, the game doesn't start at all Summer Games II: not loaded at all Turrican 2: i tried 2 different version: the first one freezes during the opening. The 2nd one freezes after choosing START GAME, there is a black screen... i don't know how can i solve all these issues...only 3 games works... thanks!

is it possible to add the missing playlist into my ARCADE romset? Here below the missing playlist into my Arcade64 configuration: i have only these: I usppose i can't use the same playlist created during the MAME full import...but how can i create the missing playlist into the ARCADE64 configuration too? thanks

please, can anyone help me? thank you

hi! I started to configure Vice64, the same as you Before to configure it in LB, i need to try it with games and i have several issues, please can you help me? 1) in Setting --> Input --> i set my Xbox One joypad as Joystick #1 and Numpad as joystick #2. But it seems that even if the xbox controller is recognized, it is not possible to correctly use its input into the games. For example even if i'm able to start a game (a single disk game), i'm not able to play it because i don't know which are the commands into the joystick. For example RUN/STOP command, and so on...so i'm not able to skip the first page and go ahead...Is it necessary to set up the joypad mapping in several ways? 2) Almost all my roms are .D64 format. Some games are .T64. If i try to run a .D64 game with 2 disks, like Last Ninja 2, how can i run it? I choosed File --> Attached DIsk Image --> Drive #8 --> i choosed the first disk and push Autostart: then, i pushed F5: and i'm here, but i'm not able to go ahead... Same issue with all the others multiple disk games..probably in order to correctly load them it is necvessary to load simultaneously ALL the disks, is that correct? For example, i load the first disk of turrican on Drive #8: but i don't know how to go ahead..probably it is necessary to load all the 4 disks..? 3) i tried several single disk game, but even if they started, i'm not able to play any of them...it seems that any command is detected or sometimes there is a black screen and the game doesn't start after the title screen Do you have some suggestions? thank you very much

hi, i tried to delete MAME platform and import it again following the steps we discussed above, in this way: 1st question: after that i manually moved every playlist under the MAME platform: but i notice an issue: with the MAME FULLSET import, i have 41 playlist. Now, using the normal roms import, i only have 20 playlist...even if i checked as i showed above... why? Half of the playlist are missing...? I noticed that in the following step, LB doesn't easily accept "MAME" (it is the name of my platform and all its folder in LB). It accept "Mame" or "MaME". I have to manually force "MAME". Is this the problem? 2) second question: Is this the right procedure if i don't use anymore MAMEUI.exe and i use now Arcade64.exe? Now i have 2875 games (previously i had 2998 games). 3) third question: when i will need to update the romset (usually i update the romset every 3 months), after updating as usual my roms folder, in Launchbox i only have to choose "Scan for Added roms in currently selected platform and "Scan for Removed roms in currently selected platform". Is this correct? thanks!

ok thanks. Now, i could try to delete in any case the Platform and its roms set already imported and import them again following the steps i posted above, in my frst post (checking "Forse using MAME metadata"). After that, i suppose i should have again 2998 roms. And i will not use anymore the FULL MAME romset import as i'm not using anymore MAMEUI.exe, i'm using Arcade64.exe. When i will have to update the romset, in order to be sure that the update considers the new roms and deletes the roms not anymore supported, it is better to delete the platform again and perform again the import (NOT the MAME full import, of course)? I read time ago that if i simply perform a new import, LB add the new roms but doesn't delete the roms not supported anymore... thanks!

hi, thanks. Well, months and months ago, someone suggeted me here into the forum not to use the "Scan for Added/REmoved system roms" as it could introduce some issues.. Do these 2 functionalities work fine? I tried Scan for Added MAME roms and it doesn't add any new roms, as I suppose. I tried Scan for Removed MAME roms and it asked me to remove about 240 unsupported roms. Now the total roms amount decreased from 3175 to 2998. I suppose that if i delete the MAME platfomr and i import it again following the steps i listed above, LB should import 2998 roms, am I right? thanks!

hi, please can anyone confirm what i posted above? thank you very much!

aaah! ok! so i have to delete again the MAME platform and all its 41 playlis t (without deleting all the media, of course!). Then i perform a Import ROM choosing "Add Folder" and then: + I check NONE in order not to download again all the media (After the full import, i will select all the games and i will download only the missing media): Same as above, i check NONE: and here i check the last option: Is this the right procedure? After that, i will select all MAME imported games and i download only the missing media. And i have to set MAME as parent of all the 41 playlist (unfortunately it is not possible to to that simultaneoulsy). If this is the right procedure, which is the procedure for the next time, when i have to update it? I simply have to do same steps (delete MAME and all the roms, start again the import of the roms folder, etc..)? thanks!

hi, i have a strange issue. Well, until MAMEUI was available (i think until 0.248 version), i imported the complete romset in Launchbox. Later, i changed my frontend, from MAMEUI to ARCADE64: this frontend doesn0t support ALL the MAME/MAMEUI games (for example it doesn't consider not working games, and so on). So, i totally rebuilt my MAMEUI romset with CLRMAME using ARACDE64 in order to have the new romset supported by ARCADE64. Starting from 0.249, i imported in LB the ARCADE64 romset: the first time i imported the romset i perfomred a new clean import. Later, i updated the ARCADE64 romset in LB choosing this option: So i suppose i loaded in LB only the ARCADE64 roms. But today, checking the missing videos/screenshots mame games, i noticed that there are several games without screenshots/videos and others media..but their roms aren't present into my ARACDE64 roms folder! Why? FOr example "Conchess" game: this game isn't present in my MAME roms folder...so...why it is detected after the full import romset of Arcade64? Same issues with several others games with missing media, like Bill Elliott's NASCAR Racing (knascar.zip), Chess King (chesskng.zip) and so on... it seems that i have into my LB romset games not present in my MAME roms folder...but i don't understand why... I would like to have only the roms present into my roms folder, supported by ARCADE64 frontend. When i update the MAME collection, i delete the emulator and then i perform the full import choosing "Update MAME emulator" (i choosed "Automatically Install and COnfigure MAME" the first time i imported the ARCADE64 romset). Thank you very much for your help!
