Kind of sounds like BB is opening on a different screen, but maybe it's not connected now?

I've used a lot of sync tools for big data, and BitTorrent sync is hands down the best, most reliable, and even works flawlessly when syncing between Windows and Mac as well. I used it for many years until I started paying for a Dropbox Pro account. BitTorrent sync would be a great way to keep multiple computers at home with LB in sync, including the roms and media.You would just need to be careful if you have LB open at the same time on more than one computer that is setup to sync.

Yeah, you can indeed do this if using the latest version of LB that fixes the ahk script problem. You simple run nomousy.exe /hide a the start of the ahk script and run nomousy.exe at the escape exit event of the game/emulator. So, in your emulator's ahk tab, you could have something like this: Run, R:\LaunchBox\Emulators\Demul\nomousy\nomousy.exe /hide $Esc:: { Run, R:\LaunchBox\Emulators\Demul\nomousy\nomousy.exe Process, Close, demul.exe } You have to change the path to your nomousy.exe file of course.

I use nomousy and ahk script to start and stop it per emulator (nothing else is needed to do), but it's cool to have other options to the hide mouse cursor!

Sure, maybe. And multiple tabs could also cause issues in some ways. Can't hurt too much to try it if it happens again.

i get that often. i can usually get around it. when you are unable to login, does it fail to login if you open a private or incognito browser window? if it lets you in that way, then try clearing your browser cache of all LB stuff. it can carry across devices if you use browser syncing. just a thought, but you probably already tried that.

I thought the setting for this is simply Tools>Options>Images>Default Background, and just choose 'use launchbox default background'. i had the same feeling as you @The Psychologist and that fixed it for me.

Sure. Hoping this quote reply will work. Haha. Seriously though, while it's annoying but not so often, it's not a major issue for me. I just thought I'd report it. I'd much rather have your time spent on LB development than forum dev - hahahaha. Thanks!

My favorite "theme" is the built-in theme, pretty much out-of-box. I use the default theme. I use clear logos setting for the game wheels so the game selections look really awesome, instead of plain text game names. I use @nyny77 Platform video collection to show with my platforms because they are awesome. That's really about it. I don't seem to care about flipping boxes and flipping to other things. I just use the simple setup with above options. The result is just fantastic. As a former Hyperspin user, this gives me the wow factor of Hyperspin, but in a very clean presentation and not so overwhelming. If you want a really easy and cool looking BigBox, this is where I would suggest noobs (like me!) start. It may be all you need and want, as it is for me.

Sometimes, not always, when I click Quote on someone's post so I can add a note to their comment, the forum has weirdness where it won't let me submit, or it will even add some other quote not related at all to the quote i clicked on and it will have one of my previous quote replies from some other topic. When this happens, I just have to submit a comment without quoting. It's really weird. I usually use Safari on my Macbook when using the forums.

I think I found how to go about this. I read you just copy the file lilypad.dll from your PCSX2 plugin folder to your epsxe plugin folder, set it in epsxe, and configure controller. I'll try that out.

thanks @DOS76, i'll google that and give it a try!

oddly, just trying to exit epsxe with controller automation causes epsxe to popup a message box asking if you really want to quit. but if you use the keyboard escape key, that doesn't happen. i've only seen that with epsxe. i don't see any setting in epsxe to not display that popup. =/

just tried the new fix. it works, but there is still an issue. for Demul and Dreamcast, it works now to run nomousy /hide and unhide from escape key exit or controller automation exit! thanks!! but it doesn't work to exit Xpadder in ps1 and daphne using xbox360 exit emulator with controller automation. it does work if just pressing escape key on the keyboard. so, in the ahk script i first start Xpadder which now works fine with latest beta, then i have a taskkill of Xpadder on $Esc::, but Xpadder only gets killed if i exit with keyboard escape key and not if using xbox360 controller automation exit.

@Jason Carr : Note, that even today, the ahk script I have for daphne doesn't seem to execute the Xpadder kill line that is inside the $Esc:: events IF using xbox360 controller automation to escape, whereas it works fine if I press the Escape key on the keyboard. I thought the controller automation close-active-window feature was supposed to be the same as pressing keyboard escape to exit emulators, but it doesn't seem so and is still probably an issue even after your ahk fix. I HOPE the controller automation close-active-window will indeed trigger the $Esc:: ahk events with your fix so we can turn off nomousy and kill Xpadder with your ahk fix, but I'm doubtful on that part . As a test maybe you can see if MsgBox comes up for you on controller automation escaping from some game with a controller.

so, @Jason Carr confirmed this is a bug and should be fixed in the next beta.

@Jason Carr, so when i get the new build, should this ahk script work?: Run, R:\LaunchBox\Emulators\Demul\nomousy\nomousy.exe /hide $Esc:: { Run, R:\LaunchBox\Emulators\Demul\nomousy\nomousy.exe Process, Close, demul.exe }

woohoo!

ok i figured. i did it and it worked.

if some of our platforms already have multiple thumbnails for a single game, maybe because that is how they imported in the past, i guess i am assuming LB won't automatically fix that and i will have to delete those and reimport them or delete them one by one and add the manually to the additional apps - is that right?

i would also like to know the procedure for switching discs. also, i see that my dreamcast multi disc games appear as one LB entry with the other CDs as additional apps, but multi disc games in ps2 and saturn for example have one game entry for each and every disc. should they be collapsed into single games like my dreamcast games? if so how to do that easily for all of them?

Any ahk code I put inside the ahk tab for an emulator (Demul in my test), does not run. The prepopulated close startup app part of the script in that tab seems to be working. But for any other ahk code I use, it seems to be ignored. I can't run a program (like nomousy) or even a test MsgBox. I am starting to wonder if only hotkey code works in there since I'm trying to run ahk code without a hotkey press. Or maybe this tab isn't for writing ahk code at all? Does it work for anyone out there?

hoping @Jason Carr will see my post above about why the ahk script doesn't seem to be working.

i just installed autohotkey and running the nomousy stuff in a stand alone ahk script file works fine. not sure why it doesn't work when run from LB?

i added the ahk lines inside edit emulator ahk script tab to run nomousy, but it seems to be ignoring. if i run the same commands from command line it works. can you write a normal ahk script inside this LB tab? i know the hotkey for closing the emulator works ok in there.
