Go into your platform and use the bulk editor. Ctrl - A to select all games then either right click and edit or hit the edit button at the bottom. This should bring up the bulk editor. Drop down click Emulator and change/add it within there.

Anyone try to import super mario bros X yet? I've got it imported but before going full screen a splash window pops up saying to start or go into edit mode. Only thing I was able to do is an ahk script to remap "1" key to "enter" key when that title screen pops up, I hit 1 on my arcade setup. Which is ok but I would like it more automated. Here's the script I'm using. $1:: IfWinActive, Super Mario Bros. X - Version 1.3.0.1. www.SuperMarioBrosX.org { Send, {Enter} } return

You can try something like this but I don't think your going to find something smooth like your wanting. I tested it and it works but you have to probably fine tune the timeouts (seconds) to delay actions. What I did is base it off a 30 second video and I used vlc player. Make sure you have your player to play fullscreen. Create a text doc and paste the contents below and change the extension to .bat and put it in your start up folder. One thing I noticed is that when it starts BigBox it shows the start bar, so like I said not very smooth. To explain what the script is doing. it's starting the video through VLC player, waiting 5 seconds then starting BigBox then waiting 20 seconds and killing the vlc player process. Maybe there's better ways but I just don't see it. Don't forget to change the paths to where your video and BigBox is located. BTW. doing this you can't skip the video, it will always run on startup. @echo off start "vlc" "D:\videos\Intro.mp4" timeout /t 5 start D:\LaunchBox\BigBox.exe timeout /t 20 taskkill /f /im vlc.exe exit

I seem to have answered my own question by doing some research. For anyone else, I edited the Emulator setting for punes in launchbox at the AutoHotKey Script tab. I added these lines to close the emulator and disable those keys i referred to. ; This section closes NESpunes when pressing Escape $Esc:: { Process, Close, {{{StartupEXE}}} } LShift::return LAlt::return LCtrl::return

This is a great emulator! I would have never found this so thanks for that. I'm concerned that in my cabinet that the keys Ctrl, alt and shift will cause some issues because i'm noticing some on my test pc when I hit those keys. I don't however see a way to either disable those or change them in the input settings. Any ideas how I could do that maybe through an ahk setting for the emulator within launchbox?

Updated to new version and you are now able to copy or move roms and images for many platforms. I will be adding more platforms. Enjoy

This is correct. If your source roms are on D:\ it will create the launchbox directory on D:\

File 2 LB View File This is a basic cmd/bat script. It's main purpose is to copy full sets from a huge source folder. It's only purpose is to copy or move roms and images to your LaunchBox Games or Images folder based on a list. Because the file extension is set up with a wildcard, it can copy or move any file with the same name of the rom. Example being: Super Mario Bros. (World).zip / Super Mario Bros. (World).nes / Super Mario Bros. (World).mpg / Super Mario Bros. (World).png all can be moved/copied because it ignores the extension. Just make sure to run the .bat in the correct source folder, weather it be roms, images, videos ect. This is a .bat so you can view it in notepad if you want to see what exactly it's doing. I provided a readme file with example code I used and will continue to add more platforms. I've expanded upon my initial release of just copying mame roms, to copying or moving many platform roms or images. I know no one wants 30,0000+ mame roms in LaunchBox when most either don't work or a lot are weird mature or mahjong roms There is currently 30 platforms and 2 options for MAME and options for mame bios/device files. File names are based on the No-Intro rom/image sets. Each platform is a list of file names to be moved or copied, similar to a HyperList xml. I'm using file names only based off No-Intro sets, which is what seems to be what Hyperspin uses. So for example if the HyperList xml of Atari 2600 has 667 roms, I've created a file list to copy/move 667 roms. Files will be copied/moved within the same drive. Once it's done you can move/rename the destination folder to where ever you want. Use either .bat file: File 2 LB (Copy).bat File 2 LB (Move).bat Place the .bat file in the folder of the source of your roms, images, or whatever source your needing. Ex: D:\Nintendo Entertainment System Source <-- (Place the .bat here) Run the .bat by double-clicking it. If your running this on the root of your C:\ drive you may need to right click the .bat and "Run as Administrator" Here is an example below: Follow the instructions on screen. Set folder directory D:\LaunchBox\[Games|Images]:Games List the Platform you want to copy or move. Type: LP (This will List Platforms) The following is a list of options to copy/move that platform: 1 = (AAE) 2 = (Atari 2600) 3 = (Atari 5200) 4 = (Atari 7800) 5 = (Atari Jaguar) 6 = (Atari Lynx) 7 = (Capcom Play System) 8 = (Capcom Play System II) 9 = (Cave) 10 = (MAME NO-casino-clones-mahjong-mature-quiz-electro-utilities) 11 = (MAME NO-casino-mahjong-mature-quiz-electro-utilities) 12 = (MAME _NoFiller-Plus 675 Most Popular working roms) 13 = (Mame Bios Pack) 14 = (Mame Devices Pack) 15 = (NEC TurboGrafx-16) 16 = (Nintendo Entertainment System) 17 = (Nintendo Famicom) 18 = (Nintendo Famicom Disk System) 19 = (Nintendo Game Boy) 20 = (Nintendo Game Boy Advance) 21 = (Nintendo Game Boy Color) 22 = (Nintendo GameCube) 23 = (Nintendo Super Famicom) 24 = (Nintendo WiiWare) 25 = (Nintendo 64) 26 = (Sammy Atomiswave) 27 = (Sega 32x) 28 = (Sega CD) 29 = (Sega Dreamcast) 30 = (Sega Genesis) 31 = (Sega Master System) 32 = (Sega Naomi) 33 = (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) Type Platform number:16 Read on screen instructions and press any key to start. When it is finished it will create a LOG file in folder of the copied/moved files, and copy/move the roms or images based on the exe to the destination folder (D:\LaunchBox\Games\Nintendo Entertainment System) Read the provided ReadMe.txt file for any other information or how to read the log file. If you have any issue let me know and I'll do my best to answer them here. (As with anything, make backups of your roms and images if you are in fear of them getting deleted) Safe bet is using the Copy Version as it only copy's, but I've used both and had no issues. Thanks and enjoy! Submitter Sithel Submitted 08/15/2016 Category Third-party Apps and Plugins

I did something similar for importing mame to launchbox using a batch file. I could try and create something more user friendly but what would you rather have. Option to move the files based on a hyperspin xml or copy them? Coping them i guess would be the safer route as you would always have your original, but moving them would probably be faster

Love the idea, unfortunately this did not work for me. Windows 10 Pro 64bit, I had to install Java and reboot the pc. Double clicking this file in the LaunchBox directory with the LaunchBox.xml did nothing. After 2 minutes or so I tried to just delete the LaunchBoxInfoUtil.jar file and it said I could not that the file was already in use. I had to open the task manager and kill the java process.

Long as you have the videos in the Launchbox\Videos\ Platform name folder, in your case TG16 folder. They should work as long as the videos are named correctly. Name should be the same name as the game title and a black window will show up on the right in the details pane. You can also in Launchbox go to to View > Auto-Play Videos. When you click a game it will auto play the video in the details pane. To double check everything or test, right click a game and click edit. Go to the "Other" tab and make sure Game Video Path is pointing to the right video for that game. *Edit And I'm not 100% sure if its a BigBox feature but you would know because I would think the options would be grayed out or specifically say BigBox only feature.

Great job on the new forum! Much faster

Hope I titled that right, and hope to explain it better here. Windows 10 Pro 64bit Ever since 6.7 in BigBox by default I go to : Options > Images > Game Image Type > Set to Boxes Doing this some of my platforms are Front Boxes while others are Clear Logos. I can go into a platform that is showing Clear Logos and hit "T" on my keyboard and change it to Front Boxes, but soon as I exit BigBox and start it back up it's showing Clear logos again. If it has anything to do with LaunchBox settings for priorities, I do not use that. For example, Box Front Priorities only has "Box - Front" checked. Box Back Priorities only has "Box - Back" checked ect ect. I currently have 15 platforms and 8 of them stay stuck on Clear Logos and don't save on restart. The other 7 are changing fine and saving on restart. Example being going back to : Options > Images > Game Image Type > This time set to 3d Carts 7 of the platforms change to 3d carts while the other 8 platforms still stuck on Clear Logos. And restarting BigBox, the 7 platforms stay on 3d carts and the other 8 are still Clear Logos. If it helps I'll list the platforms I currently have and which are saving and which are not. Working and changing/saving in options and restart. Atari 2600 Atari 7800 Nintendo 64 Nintendo Famicom Disk System Nintendo Game Boy Advance Sega Genesis Super Nintendo Not working and changing/saving in options and restart. Arcade Nintendo Nintendo Famicom Nintendo Super Famicom WiiWare 32x Dreamcast TurboGrafx 16 Like I said this seems to be a 6.7 issue and If need be I can put a ticket for this. Let me know if you need any other info or maybe if anyone else is having this issue.

I can also confirm it's only when Overlays are used. Man this sucks, I really like using these overlays with retroarch. I am using the latest stable build they have so looks like they never addressed it.

Jason Carr said Unfortunately additional apps don't support bulk editing for the moment. I am a bit confused why this is an issue with Retroarch though; on my Windows 10 machines the mouse is automatically hidden whenever I start up Retroarch in full screen. Are you not using full screen @Sithel? @Jason Yes I'm running Retroarch in full screen. My test machine is actually Windows 10 and still get the mouse cursor showing. I have my arcade machine that's running Windows 7 and started moving everything over to that PC and I get the same results. I came across this auto hide mouse cursor yesterday that I can auto start with Windows that will hide the cursor and can actually be put on a timer to hide after so many seconds. It's a work around and works, but think it could still be better. Here's a link to that auto hide mouse cursor if any is interested. http://www.softwareok.com/?Download=AutoHideMouseCursor

IlhanK said https://www.launchbox-app.com/forum/troubleshooting/hiding-the-mouse-pointer#p20931 I'm having this same issue using Retroarch for pretty much all my emulation so far except mame. Although this works by using additional app and adding this per game, I don't see an additional apps tab for a whole platform. Really don't want to edit hundreds of games to not show my mouse cursor. Is there any other options? Or possibly additional apps tab being added for platforms or emulator section?

Ok, so first I had Advertisement Flyer front images that showed on bigbox in the favorites and recent sections. I've since decided not to use these images so in launchbox I went to manage platforms and browse and edit the location path to the folder of images I wanted to use. I found a source of other images I want to use is why I did this. I then went into bigbox and cleared all cached images and it's still showing the original Advertisement Flyer front image. I find this weird since I edited the path to a new folder for one. To rectify this problem I even deleted every advertisement flyer front image I have for arcade, so this tells me it's still being cached somewhere? To also test I searched my entire hard drive for the image and it's no where on my hard drive but yet still shows up in recent and favorites. Is this a known bug or something I need to submit a ticket on? Thanks! Edit*** So maybe it is a small bug but I fixed it. In bigbox the refresh all images don't refresh the recent and favorite images, but when I go in launchbox > Tools > Refresh all images then go back into bigbox the recent and favorite images are refreshed.

Damn lordmonkus! That does look good, I may just have to mess around with HLSL again.
