Hey Jason, it's working now but didn't work for more than 20 hours, I restarted the computer and BigBox several times and never worked untill I messed with HS and went back to BB. The problem is I don't think I did anything at all to solve it and I have no idea how to replicate the bug (although now themes are messed up and I can't make them work, maybe they're outdated?) I'm well aware of this Rincewind, but BB was working so nice that I completly dismissed HS and then I got mad when my cousin came to my house and suddenly BB stopped working :-7 PS: Fortunately I had installed an old MaLa setup so she was able to play some old school MAME games

I was so pissed at BigBox not working that I decided to reinstall Hyperspin from scratch, it really is a pain in the ass specially if you integrate it with RocketLauncher like I did but it's working fine after a couple hours. Then I ran BigBox again and the back button is miraclously working again... BUT now themes don't work anymore... WTF IS GOING ON WITH MY BIGBOX?? I really wish BigBox had the same look as Hyperspin because I really love LaunchBox installing and importing

and where exactly is this? because if you mean the options menu inside BB I can't access it because you need to press the Back button to get to it and it doesn't work on my BB

Mine isn't working at all. I have a button configured for "Back" and it simply doesn't work. If I hit ESC on my keyboard it will exit BigBox but I can't go back in menus nor access the configuration menu inside BigBox I tried remapping the keys in LaunchBox but doesn't work either

Yes, nested filters, that's it! Any idea when this feature will be coming? PS: I hate english

I posted this on the troubleshooting subforum but I think it didn't belong there since I got 0 answers while every other single topic was answered so here I am trying again: I'd like to use the categories view option inside a single system. When I pick a category from the BigBox options menu the gamelist shows every single game from that category that I have in my game library, that means all systems are all mixed up and what I'd like to do is pick a system then view the games that match the selected category for the system I have selected. Not sure if it makes any sense since english is not my first language but I hope someone will understand what I mean.

Jason Carr said Hi Angelo, there is at least one custom theme somewhere that does this, but it will require a custom theme/view. I think all you'll need to do though is adjust the CurveAmount property of the coverFlow:FlowControl tag. You can adjust them in the various Platform Wheel and Wheel Games xaml files. It's awesome that you also care about our questions in the forum but there are a bunch of guys already doing a great job here so... go back to your cave and keep coding XD XD XD

CliveBarker said @Jason Carr Los archivos ROM ahora pueden ser borrados cuando eliminas juegos de LaunchBox La información de la Región es ahora obtenida desde los nombres de los archivos ROM Big Box ahora tiene una opción para omitir la pantalla de detalles del juego Jason there is a strange issue I have noticed since I started translating. For some reason the string $this.AccessibleName LaunchBox Main Window located at the MainForm never gets translated or saved. I have translated that since the beggining but it keeps deleting the translation. Like if I translate it and save the changes, and proceed to close the MainForm and re-open it, the translation is completely gone. Never told you about this because it isn't very relevant but I would like to know the reason. @dukeemu I just checked my translations and I want to tell you that I used a "life hack" to solve the context issue with "Toggle". I had problems as well with that word in Spanish so I used this: "Activar/Desactivar". I think this perfectly fits the purpose of "Toggle" in my language and I haven't received any complains about that. I hope that helps you. Also there are a lot of English programming terms that haven't been adopted by many other languages so when I encounter this issue with Spanish I just use the original English word. I don't want to take any credit but... it was my idea to use "Attivare" in italian because italian is very close to my native language (spanish) so I can see where you took the inspiration from Clive :P Also I think this phrase is incorrect and should be reworked: "La información de la Región es ahora obtenida desde los nombres de los archivos ROM" should be "La información de la Región ahora se obtiene (directamente) desde los nombres de los archivos ROM" It's a common mistake when translating verb times from english to spanish

dukeemu said Ok, I know that Toggle means Switch and in Italian we use a verb like Cambiare (same as Cambiar in Spanish), but the problem is that almost unapplicable in this context in Italian Language (it sounds awful and doesn't make any sense...). So I was wondering for a more creative solution to translate it, but nothing comes to mind. I'll think about it more... What about "attivare"? I think it could work in this context

Hey guys, I've been trying to setup Amiga in my BigBox and I've been quite successful in doing so with the emulator WinUAE (even though I've got yet to solve how to move with my joystick in the trainer/cheats menu some games have) But recently I've been moving from different emulators to Retroarch because I find it amusing having all my games with one single emulator (despite installing many different cores) but I'm stuck at Amiga because when I load a game with RA I get a grey screen with menus I have to navigate with the mouse, games don't load automatically like in WinUAE. Could you guys point me to a Tutorial or explain to me what I'm missing? I haven't found anything in the Youtube channel nor in the forums. Thanks in advance!

If you have spare buttons on your cabinet you can use JoyToKey to map a button to the ESCAPE key so everytime you press that button is like if you pressed ESC on your keyboard, this works to exit emulators back to BigBox and to close BigBox itself

SentaiBrad said LaunchBox does not have an attract mode. Attract mode has been requested for a long time now, and is being looked at for BigBox by Jason, the LaunchBox dev. What is an attract mode? when I search for it in google it just shows me a frontend called Attract Mode but nothing else

I think this may have a really simple solution. Just look for the code where the FrontBox image is in the XAML files and delete it

SentaiBrad said There's actually a native delay in Windows, but that might be for programs that show up in the start up section of windows and not something you add manually though. Where's is that native delay placed? In the meantime I'm gonna try the bat-delay :D

When I start up my computer everything works ok and BigBox launchs automatically BUT after a few seconds Windows loads some background shit and BigBox freezes, I'm pretty sure it's some other application starting in the background because if I press Alt+tab I can move again in BigBox. I checked all starting apps in windows and I need them all so what I'm looking for is for a way to stablish a delay for BigBox to launch so it's the last one to load. I'm not sure I'm making any sense because of my poor usage of the english language but please try to look beyond my writing and help me :D

Jason Carr said Hi all, I've been waiting to focus on this until after we get the official version out. Ultimately the issue you guys are running into I think is that the editor(s) aren't able to reference the classes inside of LaunchBox.exe and BigBox.exe. UserControlStyle, for instance is part of BigBox.exe. So if we can manage to figure out how to get the editor to pull resources from LaunchBox.exe and BigBox.exe, then that should fix those issues. It may be as easy as copying those files into the same folder as the XAML files, but it probably depends on the editor. Shortly after the release on Monday I'll be looking into the best visual editor to use as well as hopefully doing a tutorial. I didn't want to do that stuff without making sure everything was nailed down first in an official release. We need themes for launchbox, we're junkies addicted to good looking graphics even though we play 8bits games :D

SentaiBrad said Using custom configs is a lot easier than that. use -C after the end of the -L command. So for my SNES default command line parameter: -L "cores\bsnes_balanced_libretro.dll" -c "config\bsnes_balanced_libretro.cfg" Use the "Save new config" option on the first page of RetroArch when you load the core you want to create the new config for. It will create the new config based on the config that was previously loaded. Loading configs didn't work for me, maybe I was doing something wrong but everytime I loaded custom configs it would mess my default pad inputs (I use 2 arcade joysticks + 2 xbox controllers + 2 snes controllers), for some unknown retroarch/launchbox bug it would keep overwriting my retroarch.cfg file. After I loaded some custom config it would change my default inputs, using the override option leaves me retroarch.cfg alone so I can safely load different cores with its custom cfg file and my default config will remain untouched so I thought it was a good idea to share my method in case someone else has the same problem than me with using the -C line.

SentaiBrad said You'd use Visual Studio, download it from the MS site. I really need to get into this. I wish I had more free time to learn new stuff

JCSRT05 said fromlostdays Good suggestion. Turned "Configuration per core" off, same thing. As a cheap, inefficient fix (which I am not proud of) -created a duplicate but stripped down retroarch folder (just the bare min) and named it Retroarch-alt -added a new emulator in LB, called Retroarch-alt which referenced the new duplicated folder above -Did a bulk edit on my GBC collection and told it to use the new emulator. Final result - All but my GBC collection use my default retroarch folder (so GB is set up to use the dmg-shader-4x.cgp) and GBC has its own install folder which uses the gbc-shader-4x.cgp shader. GB loads with a GB filter and GB image GBC loads with a GBC filter and GBC image ALSO, anyone having issues running the GB or GB Pocket filters, there was a brief number of nightly builds that had issues running these filters (as explained earlier) and go figure, I was using one of them! The latest nightly (I am using 2-2-16) appears to have fixed the unusual scaling issue I mentioned reference --> http://libretro.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4954 Again, I know I only seem to post here when I have issues, hope to contribute back more in the future but appreciate those who chime in for suggestions/feedback. I know this post has a few months but since I necroed the post so anyone doing a google search can find the solution I found. 1.- Instead of loading different configs when you start RA from LB you just use the Override configuration option in RA. 2.- Save the different config files for your systems inside retroarch\config\\.cfg Example: retroarch\config\snes9x\snes9x.cfg or retroarch\config\MAME 2014\MAME 2014.cfg 3.- In LB just use the -L command. Example: -L "cores\snes9x_next_libretro.dll" This way Retroarch override the default configuration with your customized system cfg file. In this customized config file you can use from 1 single line to everything. I mostly use it for Pad inputs but it also works for anything else on the main config, including filters. Hope it helps!!

afrogamer said i would like to support the developer, but on my place (africa) its very hard, almost impossible to make e-payment and cost 3x original price. Yet you have internet access... 3 tiemes the original price is what a single console system cost to us. Maybe you could work for LB doing some stuff in exchange for a premium licensw

SentaiBrad said I could create something if people want. People always want free stuff, specially if it's great stuff!

I'd love to create themes for BB like I did for HS but I need some kind of Theme Creator GUI so I don't have to deal with so much "code crap" xDDD

CriticalCid said I thought a lot about it and it was a really hard decision but I’m sorry to tell you all that I won't upload any of my themes. You heard Jason. I can’t share my videos in the way I would have wanted it without pissing some people off and that’s why I’ve decided to not share it at all. I don’t like it either but I’m not willing to unintentionally advertise a paid premium service of a competing FrontEnd from which I won't see any penny of it myself and something that should be free anyway. So please just accept my decision and don't argue with me about it. Can I still expect you will tell me how to record them myself? :P

I'm afraid I have to drop this project until BigBox supports Video on background or we can use some kind of transparency to the wheel column so it shows on top of the theme video. Otherwise I need a 16:9 monitor I'm not willing to buy anytime soon :(
