DOne, perfect, it is a really easy way to create all the missing playlist after the Arcade64 fullromset import! There is only ONE missing playlist not recreated: Vertically Oriented Games.xml and CHD Required. I can manually create the CHD required playlist using the method explained in this thread, (see above). But i don't know how to add the Vertically Oriented Games...is this playlist removed from the official MAME playlist? If so, is it normal that LB doesn't create it as a missing playlist. I had it months ago when i used MAME fullset, i don't know why now it i choose Create missing playlist it doesn't re-create it... do you have any idea? thank you!

Hi, i have a question about Big Box theme, please. Is it better to choose one of the available theme into the Big Box "Manage Themes --> Available (ALL) " option, is that correct? For example if i choose a theme, first of all i have to Install the theme (1), then i can choose one (or more) of the Platform themes (2) and in the end one (or more) of the Games View (3) and install the themes i like. After that, i can choose every Platform and Games theme related to the specific main theme (COIN OP in this case) and merge them as i prefer. Is that correct? For example i can install the Text List with Details Filter View and the Vertical Wheel 1 Games View, right? Thanks

ah ok thanks. Does it works with Arcade64 too (i'm using it) ?

you are right, i founded the option and it is disabled. For this reason probably i dind't notice any freeze I will try some other theme. Do you know the answer to my question in the post above (saturday) about the installation of themes? thanks!

ah! ok thanks and how can activate/deactivate attract mode? Whant does it mean? Many thanks

do you have your own theme?

hi, anyone can help me about this topic, please? many thanks!

ah ok. I'm sorry but is it possible to disable the attract mode? In any case, it is better to choose one of the available theme into the Big Box "Manage Themes --> Available (ALL) " option, is that correct? For example if i choose a theme, first of all i have to Install the theme (1), then i can choose one (or more) of the Platform themes (2) and in the end one (or more) of the Games View (3) and install the themes i like. After that, i can choose every Platform and Games theme related to the specific main theme (COIN OP in this case) and merge them as i prefer. Is that correct? For example i can install the Text List with Details Filter View and the Vertical Wheel 1 Games View, right?

ah, i downloaded this version: But i didn't know that i causes freezes... is it better to uninstall it and install only a theme available in the theme manager in Big Box? Do you suggest a theme related to '80 arcade like Neon Arcade? Is it possible to see a preview of the themes available before to install them? thanks!

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!
