No one got this working in LaunchBox??

You can find 32bit and 64bit cores based on MAME 0.226 on this reddit post: Of course you will have to manually install this core in Retroarch via "Load Core", "Install or Restore a Core"

For those interested this is how you can play MAME Software List systems on your Android: The important bit is that you need a specific RetroArch MAME core. The most current Retroach MAME core ("MAME current") has dropped Software List support because of Android system limitations. "MAME current" will only work for the Arcade side of things, just like all those other ancient MAME cores that are built on very old MAME versions before the integration of MESS. 1) Place the bios zip in your RetroArch/system/mame/rom directory, for example RetroArch/system/mame/roms/gmaster.zip 2) Place the MAME SL game zips in a subfolder, for example RetroArch/system/mame/roms/gmaster/bublboy.zip 3) Create another subfolder within and extract the bios files, for example RetroArch/system/mame/roms/gmaster/gmaster/d78c11agf_e19.u1 4) Copy the corresponding hash file to RetroArch/system/mame/roms/hash 5) Launch RA, "Load Content" (in this example bublboy.zip), "Launch Content" with MAME core et voila

So after some tinkering I finally got MAME Software List systems working on my Android device (Anbernic RG505). Hooray for the Gamate, the Hartung Game Master et al.!! :-) Unfortunately there does not seem to be a way to launch these systems from within LaunchBox Android. Has anyone been able to integrate systems that do not have a dedicated Retroarch core? It is my understanding that it is not possible to setup Retroarch as a custom emulator, so that is not an option either. I tried manually editing the Platform .xml file. This will only lauch Retroarch, not the game. From within Retroarch you can launch your game via "load content" but after exiting Retroarch LaunchBox is stuck on the launching screen and I have to manually kill LaunchBox and restart LaunchBox. Is this something only Jason could fix? Or has anyone found a way to do this? Thanks for any info.

On a different note, under Launchbox's Community Leaderboards - Top Players: If I click on any given player all of that person's hiscores are listed, including rank. If I click on my own name it will say: "could not download hiscores". Is this a bug or am I missing something here?

No, it's monsterb. MAME has fulfilled its part, so did hi2txt. So the problem in this case must be MAME's hiscore plugin. I haven't used mametesters.org before, but it has a section for plugins. I think this is where this bug report would belong.

Yes, it shows 17300. I had not realised that I could open the *.hi file myself with hi2txt. Thanks for pointing that out. So I guess I would need to report a bug with mametsters.org ?

Just wanted to give thanks to everyone involved, this is a great feature!! Played dozens of classic games and everything is working fine with the hiscore system :-) Found a bug on Monster Bash (monsterb) today though. Did a new hiscore of 17300, that was uploaded as 7301. monsterb.hi

Great!! Thank you so much @JaysArcade!!

Thank you so much for this great theme! I have this running on my vertical setup and it really shines!!! ? Would you be willing to upload your project files so as to edit your theme with the Community Theme Creator? I really like your images/media-only approach. For me personally there are 3 bits of information that I would really like to add to your vertical theme, because I feel this would greatly enhance the experience: 1) Star Rating I have quite a few playlists that are sorted by star ratings. "Best of ..." style. Once I enter these playlists and move around it is hard to know where I am, top, middle, bottom of the list? It would be very nice to have this information on-screen. 2) Release Date Year I have some playlists "A History of Shmups/Brawlers etc." where I sort by release date year. This way you get a nice overview of the evolution of any given genre/series. But again, it is difficult to navigate the playlist without having the release year on-screen. 3) Max Players/Play Mode When playing with family or friends there is always a situation like this: "Oh this looks nice! Is it co-op? I don't know, let's try. Oh damn, it is only single player." I would love to have this bit of information available at first glance. Of course these are only my personal ideas. I think this would look very nice just below the video screen, moving the clear logo wheel slightly lower. I have tried to mess with your xaml files, copying over parts of other themes, but of course this does not work. Unfortunatley I am a xaml noob ? But I am willing to try, see if it is possible to add these features with the Custom Theme Creator tool ... Again, thank you for your great theme!!

Bravo!!!! Thanks for sharing

Same here. I recently finished a Daytona project with LaunchBox/BigBox premium and a Logitech G27. I was surprised to find that BigBox does not recognize the G27, given the amount of work and all the detail that Jason has put into his program. I love BigBox, but this is a setback. Let's hope that Jason finds the time to implement this feature. Anyone know if there is a poll or a feature request that I can vote on to bring this to Jason's attention? As a workaround: It is possible to create a Logitech profile for BigBox.exe, but after attract mode starts it loses connection.

Apologies from me as well ... First ever post and already stirring up drama involving the heads of LaunchBox and EmuMovies ... This was never my intention as I greatly appreciate all the hard work done by the people behind LB, EM and everybody else in our community. Yes, this is "a gray area within a gray area" and the case of these bezels might be a bit unfortunate, because they are all based on free work done around the great MAME community. I do not object at all for offering a paid service for the HQ videos the people at EmuMovies have created. Also I fully understand the need to pay the hosting bills for your ftp. After all, it is only metalzoics's decision to upload all these beautiful bezels that he conveniently collected/and or edited to the emumovies ftp instead of the emumovies main site. So I will head over to the emumovies forum and kindly ask if it might be possible to upload the pack to the main site. Thanks for clarifying this issue.

Metalzoic's bezels are only available at emumovies ftp Any chance of sharing these files for those of us that do not have access to their ftp? This would be greatly appreciated !! Thx
