    Just set the press the two buttons you want to use in quick succession, then two buttons should show.

    You can just do this directly in MAME itself, no scripts needed. I bring up that screen with back/select and Y.

    Not really sure on your exact issue, but you really shouldnt be using that emulator in this day and age, there are far better alternatives these days. Redream, Flycast core in Retroarch, and even Demul are far better choices than NullDC.

    In the games edit screen next to the name will be the database ID, click the little x next to that to clear it, then click the button to search for metadata.

    Its showing half images because the game next to it has no images and is overlapping, that is simply because they all need to be banners or images of the same size, and those need to be created if there are not packs in the download section, but even if there are there is a likelihood that those packs do not exactly match your game collection, so you would still need to make them. The way they are made is they take the box-front and the clear logos you already have in your collections and combines them into a new image which is the banner. Again this is explained on the themes download page as well as a link to this how to video. (32) BannerBox - How To Create Your Own Banners - YouTube

    Because you need to actually create those images for bannerbox. There are some provided with the theme, but to cover your particular install you need to make those banner images for all your games yourself using the cummunity theme creator plus the files @faeran released for doing so. This is all explained on the download page for the theme.

    Its worth noting that the CTC doesnt support any of the new features as of yet, so in theory that shouldnt effect anything.

    My Gamecube collection for reference, they are compressed as you can see from the sizes, but are decompressed on the fly in the emulator, so best of both worlds. I believe the compression i am using is now outdated and there is a new format for Gamecube, but you get the idea.

    Im assuming that every single one of your zip files has a completely usless vimms lair read me in it, and as there is more than one file launchbox is loading that from within the archive. It looks like you have some rom cleaning to do if you ask me.
  10. neil9000
    Are you sure that your roms are even good. First rule is to make sure games actually work in the emulator before even bothering with Launchbox, if the games dont work by themselves then they will never work through launchbox. Your middle image isnt even a rom, its a text file for vimms lair, so that obviously is also wrong.
  11. neil9000
    No, but they do have to be in a format that the actual emulator supports, Dolphin DOES NOT support 7z. Yeah, Launchbox can extract to its temp folder and deletes that file later, but you will now have a wait when launching a game as it needs to be extracted first. No CD/DVD style images should ever be zipped in my opinion. All those emulators support compressed formats that do not require decompression, like CHD, PBP, NKIT as well as various others.
  12. neil9000
    Your roms are also .7z, so in your first image you need to check the box for Launchbox to extract the rom before running. Some emulators will load zips, like Retroarch but most will not work at all with 7z files directly.
  13. neil9000
    You are linking to the Dolphin.7z, that is never going to work. The emulator needs extracting and Launchbox pointed to the dolphin.exe.
  14. neil9000
    Well if it took a long time then it was clearly importing, if the import didnt work it would of literally taken 30 seconds, so it was certainly doing something. Id run it again and uncheck all the media downloads, as you either already have them from your first import, or you can aquire them after the import once everything is working correcly there. Once you run the import again, please take images of what is happening, that is so much easier to troubleshoot than someone who doesnt quite understand the process yet explaining it to someone who does.

    0.230 is the current MAME release, but yes use 0.228 with a 0.228 romset, versioning is very important with MAME. Also when you import are you calling and scraping the platform as Arcade?
  16. neil9000
    This has happened from time to time for years, it's been investigated before and improved, but still happens to me on occasions as well, it's something to do with read speeds i believe, at that exact moment Launchbox starts loading itself, it also loads VLC and tells VLC to play the specific startup video, so a lot of reading different parts of your disk at the same time.
  17. neil9000
    OK several issues here. !. You are using a old version of Launchbox, the MAME importer was updated in version 11.9 to be MAME version agnostic. 2. You have a MAME 0.228 romset but version 0.023 of the emulator? THats a error, always match versions of the romset and emulator, that is why they are versioned in the first place. Some further details to add, if the romset itself is not in the MAME emulators roms folder then you need to tell MAME itself where they are, and the fact that you are using such a old version of the emulator (that version is from 1997). You are mixing a non current Launchbox, with a 2 month old romset, and a 24 year old emulator, im not surprised with that sort of combination you are getting errors.

    There is no link im afraid, thats why you need to reach out to support. Id also give it a little more time, support is essentially one person, and we have just put out the official release of Launchbox 11.10, so may be a little busier than normal at the moment. Unbroken Software is not some massive global company like Microsoft or someone, it's literally the owner and lead dev, and two other employees.
  19. neil9000
    Except Window 7 is no longer supported, by Microsoft, and to a lesser extent by Launchbox. It will work, but would need much more manual work than Windows 8 and 10. If this is a isolated machine like you say, then just disable windows defender. Id much prefer to use Windows 10 with no defender than to use the completely outdated Windows 7 at this point in time.

    Oh so you are talking videos for actual games here, you specifically said "playlist videos" in the thread name so thats what i gave you the info for in my reply. Games can never be playlists, they are just games, so the videos for them need to be in Launchbox/Videos/Name of platform folder to be seen. Playlists just list games from platforms, thats all they do, all the metadata, media and videos are attached to the game, not whether or not its a platform or a playlist, that is of no consequence,
  21. neil9000
    Launchbox is a 64bit only application i'm afraid, it is failing to install as you are using a 32bit version of Windows 10. Your only recourse would be to update your OS to the more modern 64bit version, or you could email support@unbrokensoftware.com and request the final 32bit release which was 11.2. Doing this would mean you would be forever stuck on version 11.2 unless you update your OS, 32bit OS's are actually quite rare these days, generally only found on tablets and very cheap low specced laptops.

    You need to set a controller/keyboard button to "change view" then go to the platform/view you want to change and use that key and pick the theme from the list.
