Can you share a image, and which themes are these? A lot of themes use a fullscreen platform video on the platform select wheel, so if you have no platform videos you would just have a black screen on some themes.

Because they dont support the current version of romsets. Android uses the 2003 set or the FBA set for the most part due to hardware power concerns, much like the Raspberry PI.

Yup.

You can highlight multiple entrys, just hold left click and drag.

In the Tools menu, just select the platform in the left sidebar of Launchbox, then Tools/Audit Name of Platform.

The romset type doesnt matter, i use a Split set personally. Its all to do with the various filters on the last page of the import wizard. I personally dont touch any of it and leave everything at defaults.

Or use the Audit tool and sort by that image type to group all games missing it at the top of the list, then highlight them all and right click.

What??

OK was just checking as i also have a P20 PRO and i use Retroarch and i exit it from the combo i set in the Retroarch input settings.

How are you exiting from the emulator, which emulator is it?

Agreed, but, https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/could-couldnt-care-less

And this is coming from myself personally, i dont care or take the time to even consider these comments, i have no religious faith at all, i think its all a bunch of shit, but I dont go hex editing programs to hide it though. That makes me think you have some hardcoded parental faith in you that you are scared of. Take it elsewhere.

Why? what a load of effort for no reason? You know what you can do with the "offensive" bible quote, ignore it.

Also to add to this also check the actual power options for the power plan you are on. I dont know if its a different way to get to the same setting, or if one or the other over rides the other, so worth checking both.

You dont need to get it in to Launchbox. Its its own app, just setup profiles for games/programs in it and they should autoload when you launch those games/programs. It has nothing to do with Launchbox, Launchbox wont even know its there.

Launchbox wont care if you are using it or not. All it does is let you map keyboard/mouse buttons to a controller, so Launchbox will just think you are using a keyboard/mouse. May i suggest Controller Companion though? It does the same thing but is cheaper, it also has steam workshop support for downloading game profiles made by the community. It's what i use myself. It works for xinput controllers, but there is the ability to download x360ce from within it which makes dinput controllers appear as xinput. https://store.steampowered.com/app/367670/Controller_Companion/

Well googling it it seems to be a new version of pinnacle, expensive though. What do yo want to use it for exactly?

Yeah it wont create a playlist as MAME cant actually play those games (for the most part) but the actual files can be used in other emulators, like retroarch/Flycast and demul.

I actually found that i had better luck transferring to my phone via a FTP client built into one of the many file explorer apps available on the play store, and using Filezilla on my PC to connect to it. Also Filezilla will list in a different tab any files that failed to transfer for some reason, and you can highlight and re-queue them as needed.

@Jason Carr Is there a file we can edit which has the supported platforms in it, or is it actually part of the app? Reason i ask is to do with MAME, i do actually have a current and a MAME 2003 set imported on my PC. That 2003 set "should" technically work with the MAME 2003 core in retroarch. However to distinguish my platforms in Launchbox i have that platform called "Arcade 2003", i have exported that platform to Android, but of course i cant use it as its not on the list of supported Platforms with that name that i use.

@harryoke I think there maybe a issue with the theme, i just seem to get the standard Critical Zone 2 Bluebox, i dont get your background video or your options screen, just the original ones. Looking in the xaml files it seems to be referencing the original theme folder, not the Nebula one for its images and videos.

I dont think either of those things are possible. Of course you can set a button combo to exit the running emulator, but it will take you back to the games list you were already in as Bigbox is still running in the background, just minimized when running a emulator. Exiting Bigbox without going to the menu is possible with X on a keyboard, so you could use some third party controller mapper like controller companion/xpadder to map X to a button combo. A;lso i gues it depends on how your joystick/buttons are read by Windows, if they are seen as xinput controllers you will have to do as i said, if they are read as a keyboard you may be able to set a exit in keyboard automation.

I just use Retroarch on Android, its free and covers all the systems i can run on a Android phone.

The 8bitdo bluetooth dongles are not standard bluetooth dongles, they are designed to allow you to use controllers on other systems. For example to allow you to use a XBOX one controller on a switch, or a PS4 controller on a XBOX, etc. So it has additional hardware in it to do some format conversion to make non compatible controllers work on systems they are not designed for. So my guess is it is interfering and changing the format/protocol the controller is detected as, so it is not recognized as a standard XBOX one controller in those emulators. If its a XBOX one controller with bluetooth then i would just use a standard bluetooth dongle, not a dongle that is adding additional conversion (and probably additional input lag). If it's the older type of XBOX one controller without bluetooth, which is what i have you will need a official dongle for it, which works great and is lower latency than bluetooth. In fact id recommend the dongle outright cause of the lower latency compared to bluetooth, but thats up to you.
