If you go to there website there is a big red banner at the top of the page saying they have been doing a major site update, and to expect issues. FYI Emumovies is not run by us, so your first port of call for issues is their forums.

Are you using a view that supports clear logos, or are you using the text list view? You just need to switch the view, if using text list view. If you are using a view that supports clear logos and they are not showing, try refreshing the image cache in the options.

There should be a option for it in the music options.

Your controls are in the cfg folder, and default is just that the default you set in MAME, any "this machine" controls will be saved in that same folder under the name of the rom rather than default. The thing you have to remember about MAME is that if you start it without a controller on/connected, it wipes the MAME default.cfg. So create your controls and close MAME, then go to the default.cfg, right click it and go to properties, and check the box for read only. This will mean MAME cant wipe it, but if you need to change anything you will need to uncheck read only, make your changes and then re-enable it.

Anybody reading this, please dont follow that advice. Just replace the file specified, if you delete everything you will completely wipe your Launchbox and will need to start from scratch.

This is likely your issue, you shouldnt be downloading random MAME roms from the internet. Do you know which romset version the roms you downloaded are from? This is important as MAME roms and the emulator are versioned, games are only guaranteed to work with the matching version. They may work with other versions of the emulator, but its a lottery at that point. You cant just download the newest version of the MAME emulator and throw any rom at it and have it work, if any file inside the game zip is not what MAME expects for that version from its own internal database, the game wont run.

You dont want the - or + on the wheel.

Ah, good to know, cheers.

You should never run Launchbox as admin, emulators either, elevation is only required BECAUSE of admin rights.

Im not set to combined either, but if i set them to normal or + in Ridge Racer then the throttle and brake are constantly on, it only works correctly when set to -. Cruis'n USA seems to be the opposite, set to - and both pedals are full on, set to + they work as expected. We do have different wheels though, so it could just be down to different implementations, i dont know.

For the pedals in MAME you have to set them two times each, at least i have had to with the game. For example hit enter on pedal1 then press the gas and it will show that pedal set, then hit enter again and press gas again, it will now add a + after the name, (this will vary by game, Ridge Racer for example needs them to be on - not + so you have to set them three times in that case). You dont really need to do anything in ghub other than adjust the wheel range down from 900 to something more comfortable, somewhere between Koroths suggestion of 270 and 360 would be about right in my opinion. I just setup a ghub profile for MAME and changed that there, so it auto locks to 270 when i load MAME now. Id suggest going to your mame/cfg folder and deleting the one for this game and starting it from fresh, it should just be as simple as selecting paddle and turning the wheel, then pedal 1 and 2, which you do twice each to get the + after the input name.

Ha ha, are you reading my mind, i was just looking for deadzone settings as its a massive window, so cheers for that.

Yeah thats exactly what i was about to do in the ghub software, i just tried Ridge Racer, and that also didnt start turning until over 90 degrees.

Literally all i did was hit enter on paddle, pedal1, and pedal2, just span the wheel left, and pressed both the accelerator and brake pedals (i also set coin and start buttons, but thats not relevant here).

Ok i got the pedals working with no effort at all, i calibrated them first and now i can just select the pedals in the controller options and press them to assign and they just work. The steering on the other hand is awful, wont turn either way until i get to 90 degrees, and then it seems to go to full lock, completely unsteerable.

Yeah i worked it out from a YT video, i needed to calibrate, and "enter" was F2, so im in, just copying your controls to test.

I cant even get past this screen to test it.

What browser are you using, as this seems to bae a issue on your end. I noticed you are using a hotmail.co.uk address, my mother has one of those so i tested her email and it worked just fine. S So its not at all related to your email domain, so must be browser/cookie/shield related if i had to guess.

I have just woke up, but i have the G29, ill take a look at Cruisin USA later, the wheel does work in MAME though, i have used it before with Rigde Racer and Rave Racer. So it does sound like a configuration issue on your end. As i said ill take a look a bit later when im actually properly up and not drinking coffee in my dressing gown. :)

Id take a look at the below thread and see if it applies to you. BigBox Graphical Glitching v11.3-11.6 *Solved - Page 3* - Troubleshooting - LaunchBox Community Forums (launchbox-app.com)

Yeah, same developers.

There is no way to specify which file from a zip to load. Multiple versions in one zip file really isnt a good idea to be honest, but to each their own.

But those settings will also apply to Bigbox, so you will have blank spaces with missing images there (depending on how the theme in use uses the images that are now not available).

Yes, extract the platform files from the latest backup and put them in Launchbox/Data/Platforms, make sure not to put the settings files and similar in there, just the platforms.
