Well the only thing i could suggest at this point is to delete the bigboxsettings.xml from your Launchbox/Data folder(do this when launchbox/bigbox is closed) and that will revert all your settings back to default, you will of course have to change any settings that you previously changed again, but it will also reset all the keyboard and controller binds.

Bigbox has absolutely nothing to do with bezels and fades, that is all a Rocket Launcher issue and i suggest asking on there forums. There are some Rocket Launcher users here that may be able to help you, but broadly speaking most people don't need or want the extra complexity that comes with adding it to there Bigbox setup. I'm also pretty sure that none of the Moderators here use Rocket Launcher either, so you are going to have to rely on a handful of users here for help, or as i said ask on their forums where i expect they all use it and could be much more helpful to you than we could be here. Sorry i couldn't help more, but it really isn't a Launchbox/Bigbox issue.

You will need to add the name of the mame core that you are using, you can find this in your Retroarch/Cores folder. So you should have a line that looks a bit like, -L "cores\the name of your specific core_libretro.dll"

Was just about to say the same, also remember there are several mame versions, so you need to put the exact one you are using in the associated platform.

Those are James Bakers video's and are available in Launchbox premium, just go to tools/download platform/playlist videos. His theme's thread is over here.

Can i ask what method you used to import your MAME games? Because the fact that none of them work and that you have zero artwork also, is very strange to me. Unless you specifically unchecked ALL the artwork checkboxes at import you should have quite a lot of artwork in your Arcade section. Also did the mame import screen show? The one where you can prioritise region, skip clones, exclude adult games etc. It's just a hunch but as nothing works and you have no artwork, i'm wondering if you imported as something other than Arcade.

No probs.

Been playing around off and on this afternoon and haven't been able to reproduce it once, so i guess i just got really unlucky earlier when i hit it.

If i remember correctly that is a weird handshake bug when running to a TV rather than a monitor, i did read about it myself recently ill see if i can dig the thread up, for now try alt enter to switch to windowed the back to fullscreen. Edit: I followed these instructions. https://steamcommunity.com/app/17300/discussions/0/613936039635380740/

Well it only happened the once, as i was going to the options to quit anyway, but ill have have a look and see if i can replicate it. All i did was use the back button on my controller to go into the options.

HI @CriticalCid Just got a error in bigbox which i posted in the beta thread, but thought i would post here also as there is reference to the plugin included with your theme.

I have never had this error with this theme before. just a thought though have you tried copying the dll's to the main plugin folder?

Just fyi, if they already work then i wouldn't recommend re-importing them. Just go to tools/manage emulators and edit your mame to point at the newer emu, then click on a mame game in your library and use ctrl and a to highlight them all, the right click and edit then choose emulator then in the second dropdown ypur mame emu.

Yeah, real DRM would limit you to the one install, but that's not the case, so i agree it's a good compromise.

No, real DRM, would call u to have a different license/account on different systems,or make you login to a account on every system you used. this is just a license that you can move to a different system with zero issue. And yeah, if you are going to a house and you don't want people to know your name, then you have bigger issues than a Launchbox license.

If it was buried deeper then why use it at all right? At the end of the day its a paid product with zero DRM, and i'm thankful for that.

Yes, a good purpose that's my point, having it right there out in the open, is a good deterrent for people just saying here you are use my license.

Cool, good to now you are joining the community.:)

Hey there, yes it's xaml, check this out.

Yeah i would echo @lordmonkus there, i personally am not familiar with either of the things you are referencing, (i just use a controller) but i am sure if there is a solution for you, someone will chime in here. just be a little patient, and you may get a answer that works for you.

Also to add to that, if for some reason we can't get them to go away, you can always go to the Launchbox/Images/platform name and just delete the background image folder, then there are no background images to show.

Yeah, i am sort of with you there to a certain extent with the full name thing. However i think it is needed to keep Launchbox/Bigbox DRM free. The dev could probably easily remove that from view, but that would then defeat it's purpose and he would then have to use real DRM which would probably mean having a license explicitly connected to the specific instance of the program you are using, and would necessitate a new license if you installed to a different system. I believe this has been brought up before and that was more or less his response, to remove the name he would have to make the license much more restrictive, which he doesn't want to do.

Ah, you just posted a pick from further up and wasn't sure. Bigbox will abide by the preferences you set in Launchbox, so go to tools/options/background priorities, and uncheck any that are already checked, save and reload bigbox. If that doesn't work just report back here and we will dig a little deeper.

@Raveryn are you asking a question there?
