Hello Brad, I did read that post first actually and did not find am answer. I tried to do the following, as it states: "To Sixth, disable the background images. Users have reported that disabling these have helped them out with performance. This is something I have always just done out of personal aesthetic preference so I have never actually tested this" I cannot seem to disable any of the background images for games within the any of the platform, seems to just use fan art images or other backgrounds. None of the image settings seem to do anything in this regard. As for forcing cache, did that too, still stutters when scrolling through games. Only universal variable is that scroll wheels on pages with background images are sluggish.

Hi all, I have a question. Is there a way to stop any given game from using a background image? When cycling through games on any platform, the background images cause the scroll wheel to be slow and choppy. I am assuming this is because of the background images anyway because on the platform screen, with no background images, the scroll wheel moves nice and smooth. I have been through all the options and think I have exhausted all of those solutions. Also, maybe this is a technical issue? My system is as follows: intel 4790k @ 4ghz 16 gigs ram GeForce 970 I thought with these kinds of specs that I would never have to worry about image lag in BigBox. Is there a setting I may be missing?? Thanks in advance.

Hi there, Great theme. It ALMOST does everything I am looking for. Two small things I cannot figure out how to do, even after going through what I feel were all the settings and combinations of settings. Both are related to the images I am posting below. My questions are as follows: 1) Is there a way to get the system or game clear logo in that upper right hand corner as opposed to the text details being show. Would prefer the game logo but since that is also used on the left scroll well, it is probably better to be a platform logo. 2). When I scroll through the games, the background image changes, causing lag (naturally). Is there either a way to disable this background image or, better yet, make it so it is a single static image for every game? Perhaps a background image of the platform. Unrelated to this issue, I had one more question. On the platform screen as shown below, when I have "Arcade" selected, it shows the notes below it. However, if I select any of the others platforms (Console, Handheld, Playlist), the text I have entered through the Launchbox front end does not display at all. Is this a known issue or am I missing a setting? Also, is there a way to give the platform view in image 2 a static background image as well? All help is appreciated, thank you in advance!

Awesome. I think I have it working now. Thank you kindly ;-)

Hi all, I know this is a Launchbox forums but I have checked Retroarch based forums and come up empty. Tbh, I bet I am wodring my problem wrong and that is why I am not finding a solution. Anywhere, here it is: I want to use Retroarch for a majority of my older consoles (NES, SNES, Gensis, etc etc) but everytime I start a game and save a configuration, that configuration is loaded up for each different emulator. I KNOW there was a way to save config settings on a per emulator basis, I have done it before.......I just can't remember, for the life of me, how I did it before. I think it had something to do with saving a config file that is the same name ofd the core I want to use for the emulator but that does not seem to be working or I am doing it wrong. Any and all help would be appreciated, even if it is just pointing me in the right direction to a Retroarch based community. Thanks in advance!

Nice. Thank you for your help. I have a $20 off certificate at Best Buy. Think I am going to use it on a blue 2tb drive tomorrow. Cheers!

Hi Lordmonkus, thanks for the quick reply. You think I would see a severe performance difference for Launchbox if I went with a Blue over a Black? Seems the difference is 5400rpm for Blues while Blacks are 7200rpm.

As the title states, I am in need of a hard drive. I want it to be a dedicated Launchbox Drive that will only have launchbox on it or at the very least be a Launchbox majority. Does anyone have some ideas? I am looking for 7200 rpm minimum and 3Tb's is a nice size to start off. So, whatcha got? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I saw that after downloading some art for Capcom Play System I and II that there is some fan art that is actually really awesome and I would LOVE to use them all as a theme of sorts. Problem is that some of them are missing from the usual art download places and I cannot for the life of me find complete sets for both. I am sure there HAS to be complete sets. Any help would be appreciated. I have attached an example so you know what I am talking about. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

No worries, man. This is a hobby for all of us and your personal life always comes first, as it should. thanks for the update!

Cannot wait for the DPI scaling issue to be address. I have gone through all the themes and this is the one that I like the most, without question. The font cut off though...... Here's hoping there is an update soon. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Hmm, Question DOS, would it be a better idea overall, hard drive space be damned, to use a merged set of roms so I know I am getting all the files I need to run a specific ROM? I would be OK with going back over and selecting the 355 manually again Time consuming? Yes but from that point on I would be able to add games individually if I see something I want to add later down the road from the master ROM directory. Might even be an easy way to get the correct names of the roms I will need anyway since I will mosy likely have to use clrmamepro to merge the set anyway. Thoughts?

Hi all, Ok, I have been trying to figure out a way to solve my problem on my own and I am at my wits end. I now turn to those with more experience. Here is my issue: I do not want a complete mame romset in my Arcade platform. I went and got a list of all the games I DO want in the Arcade platform and made various playlists for different publishers, basically the same as the ones that Launchbox will create when you import the game but I took a lot of those games out that were auto populated. Now then, I managed to remove all but the 355 games I want on my Arcade platform list but I cannot for the life of me figure out a way to move the files that the Arcade platform is pointing to from the main rom file directory. This means there are 355 files in a folder with 33,000 others files. Sure I can click each one and move it but I am curious if there is some way to do it within Launchbox that will just see the files I have in my arcade platform and just move those. If there is NOT a way to do this within Launchbox (and if there is, it is hidden well because I think I have exhausted all my leads), I am not opposed to using a 3rd party software to fix my problem if anyone has an idea of one. Any and all help is appreciated in advance. Thank You!

Ahhh, I did not realize I had to click the download file to see all the files to download, I was just looking at the page itself. Thank you kindly!

Hi All, As the title of the post states, I am looking for some platform videos for CPS 1 and 2. I looked in the download section and I either missed them or they are just not there. I found a video on YouTube where someone using LaunchBox has said platform videos but I cannot find them anywhere. Anyone able to help me out please? Here is the link to that YouTube video for reference. Here it is, at the 40 second mark.

That's awesome!

You are doing God's Work here. Keep it up, looks amazing!

I removed all the configs, opened up a CPS-1 game with a default "retroarch.cfg" and there is still no "Controls" option under the "Quick Menu" list. I am NOT using the core you have in the pics above though so tried that core and success, I have control options. Seems the following cores do NOT have the "Control" option: fb_alpha_cps1_libretro.dll fb_alpha_cps2_libretro.dll fb_alpha_neo_libretro.dll Thank you for your help, it is appreciated.

Hi LordMonkus, Thanks for the quick response. So, I did as you said but got to this part and ran into an issue: After setting my binds to default and turning per core configuration on, when I go and start up another fighter and then press the Quick Menu, there is no "controls" option nor is there anything named remap anywhere within the core, at least not that I can find. Am I missing a step?

Hello all, First off, LOVE the work being done here. Just bought my premium license an hour ago. Best purchase I have made in quite some time. That being said, I have an issue it seems (which is saying something because I have been using this for a few days solid with no issues, speaks volumes to the stability of the program and tutorial support out there if you ask me). I am trying to remap my Xbox 360 controller for Windows to a set of buttons per core. For example, I would love to remap my buttons for CPS-1 and CPS-2 games in a manner which is more in line with the majority of fighting games they deal with. Now, I CAN set the buttons up of course, under "Settings>Input>Input User 1 Binds" and that will, naturally, bind my buttons in game. The problem is that is also binds them in the retroarch menu and I like a different set of buttons for my controller there. Now, in some cores, like "bsnes_balanced_libretro.dll" or "mednafen_pce_fast_libretro.dll" for example, there is an option to set controls per core under "Quick Menu>Controls". This is awesome and has made gaming on those cores a lot more enjoyable. However, this option is not under the "Quick Menu" tab on cores for the CPS-1, CPS-2 and NeoGeo. Is this by design? Is it just not implemented on the menu? Is there a way for me to get that functionality, even manually if need be? I saw one post on these forums about something similar but it did not seem to be the exact same problem so that is why I am writing this. Thanks for any and all help in advance!
