Yeah i concur with @DOS76 here, if you are unsure on your romset number then it's probably best to get a new set that you know the version number of and to use the matching version number version of the MAME emulator. As you asked in your OP as to weather MAME is picky with roms, yes it is, VERY. Roms can and do change regulary as better dumps or emulation improvements are made, and this means they wont work with other versions of the emulator. This is why the MAME emulator and the romsets are numbered like they are, your MAME emu version and romset version should always match, there may be 100's if not 1000's of games that will work in many versions of the emulator, but that is in no way guaranteed and the qsound zip dos referenced is a good example, any cps rom from before MAME 0.182 will not work with any version of the emulator since then as it was re-written and improved.

Unfortuanely no this isnt possible, the name of the folders will change if you change the name as the images will need to be in the correct folders. You can do it manually by browsing to the folders you want to use per your bottom image, but you will have to do it per image type and per platform.

If you want to continue to use two different frontends then yes i would recommend copying the images to Launchbox, or just downloading fresh ones from our database as they will all automatically be downloaded to the correct folders with minimal effort from your self.

For the most part they should work, Launchbox/Bigbox will pick up media with the same name as the game is called in Launchbox, or the file name of the actual rom. I would be careful of pointing Launchbox to your hyperspin media though as by default Launchbox does use a slightly different naming scheme, as it generally adds a -01, -02 etc to the end of images. So it may rename your images if you update your images and metadata from within Launchbox, if it does that it may not be picked up by RocketLauncher/Hyperspin anymore due to the naming not being what they are looking for. See image for how Launchbox actually name images it downloads from within it's UI.

Have you set a key/button to actually switch themes while inside of a platform, and if so you are doing it there right, and not in the main platform wheel?

Check that you unzipped them correctly, there should be files and folders inside them, if you have another folder with the same name inside them that is wrong.

It's just if roms are stored inside the Lunchbox folder, if they are it makes Lunchbox portable and you can drag and drop the whole folder to another drive/pc and it will still work.

Try going to your Launchbox folder and move the settings.xml out to the desktop and see if it loads, it could be corrupt settings. EDIT: Sorry Launchbox/Data/settings.xml

Its in the xaml for that view, but i cant help you there im afraid, i know nothing about the xaml coding. It is slower in the other unified themes, Jason sped it up for his variant.

Launchbox/Data/Playlists you can just delete the .xml's. Make sure you close Launchbox first though.

I have seen that also in Retroarch, setting the video driver to D3D11 seemed to fix it for me. So seems like a driver issue, i cant remember if i was using GL or Vulkan before switching it, but i dont see the issue with D3D11.

First) Game videos come from Emunovies but you need a paid subscription there to get them in Launchbox. Second) Make sure you are on the correct view, only one has the box art and spinning disc. Lastly) Same as above, sounds like you are on the Text list view, either go to options/views and change the view, or set a button to it in controller options to switch it on the fly.

Options/music/onscreen display.

Right click the game, go to edit, then emulation tab, check the box for commandline then put in the core you want, so it looks like this.

Yes i know that, i was just showing that it works. OK then, i have just created a Nintendo 64 HD platform in Launchbox and i added the same Homer image with the name Nintendo 64 HD, and again it works just fine.

Works just fine for me, as you can see below i added a Homer background image and named it "Super Nintendo Entertainment System" and it shows behind Super Nintendo in Unified Redux just fine.

No, the default images are .jpg. Looks like you may be using a old version of the theme, possibly one that does not support what you are trying to do. I would re-download the current version of the theme and try that. Jason specifically says in the download description that he converted all images to .jpg which halved the size of the theme.

Right click them, edit, parents tab, uncheck root and check arcade.

Glad you got it sorted. It was very unlikely this was a Launchbox issue as, as i said its been re-written since you last had the issue, lets hope you can now track down the software causing the issue.

Then that is very strange because as i said this is the first report of this i have ever heard, and since you last used Launchbox the program has been completely rewritten in a different environment, and the UI interaction has been re-written also. Do you have controllers enabled in the options? If so does disabling it affect it at all?

No there is no known solution for this as it's the first time we have ever heard of this issue. To be honest with you it sounds like a hardware or software issue on your PC as i have never heard anyone with this issue before. Have you tried unplugging USB devices and plugging them back in one by one to see if something is interfering with your mouse? It could also be a controller plugged in with the analog stick drifting slightly.

I used to have a GTX 770 in my rig and it was fine for everything, although that was before i used CEMU or rpcs3 so i dont know how they would run on it.

Yes, in the Launchbox folder are shortcuts for Launchbox and Bigbox, just copy it wherever you want it, i have them both pinned to my taskbar for example.
