Those are all VLC errors, close Launchbox and go to the Launchbox folder delete the VLC folder and restart Launchbox, the VLC folder will be recreated and should then work without errors.

Hello again @Towndrunk i would check to see that none of the PC's you plugged it into have tried to claim the drive. I have seen this before with portable USB drives that they work fine, then you plug it into a system that mounts and claims the drive. Meaning its not recognised on others correctly moving forward.

Sorry me again . They are separate in some ways but those ways are in the look and feel of them only. They are one and the same when it comes to the actual platforms and games as they both use the exact same data, but the look and feel can be independent due to the different nature of the two UI's, so it makes no sense for some options in Launchbox to carry over to Bigbox as they look very different and serve different purposes.

Also its done this way so that you can have the standard and the theme video in your setup, and you have the control over what you see, rather than them all being lumped together and you just getting what Launchbox/Bigbox decides to give you.

Yeah generally the "theme" game videos are limited to MAME on emumovies, but there are a few on the Launchbox database also, probably less than 20 but there are some console ones there, like mario 3 on nes, but unless you unchecked the theme box for Launchbox and Emumovies in the import wizard they get downloaded. Personally i'm not a fan of them so just uncheck those boxes.

There is a option in Bigbox to prefer the "Theme" video so i guess that is on in your setup. Theme videos are usually videos with logos and artwork and such as well as the smaller game video. Its up to you which you prefer and as i say there is a toggle in Bigbox for it.

Are you using MAMEUI by any chance?

This is just the nature of plugins i'm afraid if they are not updated, obviously they are not official so have to be maintained by the creator/uploader if/when changes are made in Launchbox.

Then this is clearly still a path issue, either with your roms or your emulators. If they work through just the emulator then something is definitely wrong in Launchbox. In your first post with images your SNES platform is called just that "SNES", but your associated platform tab for retroarch is "called Super Nintendo Entertainment System" so they dont match so snes wont work.

If its a keyboard then escape will exit most emulators. Button combos are for controllers only.

This isnt the place to be asking about pre configured builds of Launchbox. If i was you i would try his discord.

It should only need to do it the once, unless you are changing image type or changing image size or the like.

That green bar is Launchbox caching the images.

If you unzip a theme with 7zip the .dll's are automatically unblocked, and as 7zip is included with Launchbox i assume that is what is used to unzip downloaded themes. As for the other concerns Jason will have to comment there.

The ipac is seen as a keyboard i believe, so you need to set the controls in the keyboard section of Bigbox, not the controller section. You may need to use a keyboard to get there initially and then set the keys how you want them.

OK, i dont use dosbox so i wont be much help there, but im pretty sure you can not use zipped games in dosbox.

OK, your gonna have to explain to me what a TTL game is then, cause in Launchbox it says its breakout.zip.

I see its a paddle game, did you exclude paddle games at all? I cant remember if there is a filter for that or not. The rom is just called breakout, so should be easy to find in your romset.

It is in the MAME fullset.

lol, i dont mean any disrespect here, but you are worried about having to name all your images for your specific use case, so you want the creator to do it for you for a use case he doesnt have? After all these are using the Launchbox naming scheme, as they are uploaded to the Launchbox forums, of course Launchbox will accept the MAME naming scheme as well, but the creator/uploader is a Launchbox user and did upload them to the Launchbox forums with the Launchbox naming scheme, he cant really be expected to cater to other naming schemes used by other frontends, when these are hosted on the Launchbox forums and intended for use with this frontend.

More information would be helpful, like what zip format, for what platform and what are the file types in the archive, what emulator, and what is giving the error, Launchbox or the emulator. Just saying "my game doesnt work" wont help people to troubleshoot it.
