Figured it out! It was the images themselves. As a test, I replaced the DOOM cover with a more recent one I've been using elsewhere, and the colors turned out fine both in wheel view and on the details page. Something about how some of the images were saved is causing the issue. So I just need to resave them properly.

No, I've had the same display (my 50" HDTV) for years now. Could it be something to do with hardware acceleration? When I turn it off in some other programs, colors tend to look better. And yw about Descent, I always enjoyed those games, too. Never did pick up the third, but I did finish the first two. Too bad they never made a movie out of it, I think it could've done well if it had been made right. The setting was really good and atmospheric, drew you in. With today's CG and effects, a Descent movie could show off some impressive dogfights, I think.

Here you go. The first screen shows the color as it should be. On the wheel pages, it's fine. But on the detail page, as you can see, the colors of certain graphics like the cover and logo (I'm using a banner here for it) get washed out. And this happens no matter what theme I'm using, I tested it yesterday with a bunch of other themes.

I've noticed lately that the colors in many of the images are washed out while in Big Box now even though they used to display just fine and I haven't done anything with those images or LB/BB aside from updating it in a very long time. In Launchbox, the image colors are bright like they should be, but Big Box washes them out for some reason. Any idea why or how to fix the issue?

I looked, but it didn't seem to have done that. All I'm using is the standard Windows Security that comes with the OS. EDIT: It did finally come up, I just had to restart the computer. Sometimes it's the simplest things, hehe... EDIT2: Now some of the colors are washed out on many screens, mainly the fanarts and a couple of the boxfronts. Is this because of HDR? And is there a way to adjust Big Box to compensate?

Hi all, just trying to come back to Big Box after being away for a while, but it won't even start. I'm in Windows 10. Either by double-clicking the icon or trying to start from within regular Launchbox. Big Box just never comes up, not even a splash screen. I'm at Launchbox v. 11.15. Is that the latest version? Am I missing something? Thanks for any help.

Been trying to get the PPSSPP core for Retroarch working, and mostly it works fine. However, when I try to load a savestate in certain games (seems to be 3D ones like Crisis Core and Dissidia - 2D games like FF1 load them just fine) Retroarch crashes every time. I haven't been able to figure out why or how to fix it. I've got all the necessary files in the /system/PPSSPP/ folder so nothing's missing. I'm using Retroarch version 1.7.5 but I've tested 1.7.7 and it happens there too. I don't want to use standalone PPSSPP because the shaders there aren't as good as RA's and I use RA's shaders to get linear AA at higher resolutions without black lines, which standalone PPSSPP can't do. So I want to stick with that if I can. Thanks! Windows 8.1 3.8 Ghz 6-core processor 16 GB RAM AMD Radeon R7 370 4GB graphics card

Recently went back into RA to add my PSX games to Launchbox, and where once they ran fine (I remember setting them up and testing several many months ago last year), now I only get a black screen when I start them up. I can hear them but not see them. Happens with both GL and Vulkan, and my BIOS files are in the right place, named correctly, and verified. Any idea how to fix the issue? My specs are as follows: Windows 8.1 3.8 GHz processor 16GB RAM AMD Radeon R7 370 graphics card Thanks!

Thanks, I'll check it out. Haven't seen the pause screen come up in Big Box yet, how does that work?

How do you customize the game startup and shutdown screens that show up when you start and close a game? I don't know which view file has that information and I didn't see anything about it in the documentation. Also, I've got my platform list done fine, but while the list is correctly top-aligned for platforms and categories, for all the others such as genre, status, developer, etc. that use the same view file the list is vertically-centered instead. How can I fix it so it's top-aligned like the main platforms list view? Thanks!

I was trying to download some Playstation 2 manuals from EmuMovies today, I've downloaded stuff there before as I do have a membership, though not a subscription, but every single manual I tried to download today (several from multiple packs) has been missing with a "File Not Found" error. Has anyone else experienced this?

I just installed the new update today and since then, Big Box won't start. Launchbox runs fine, but Big Box won't run. No error message, nothing. I did have an error during the installation where it couldn't install one of the files because it said something about it being busy or in use even though launchbox was closed and it gave me an abort/retry/ignore prompt. I tried retry a few times but it just kept coming up so I went with ignore instead. Now I can't get Big Box to start. Any ideas? Here are my system specs: OS: Windows 8.1 AMD 3.8 Ghz processor AMD Radeon R7 370 graphics card 16GB RAM EDIT: Nevermind, reinstalled it and it's working now. Thanks anyway!

I was just tweaking the game details page (TextGamesView) of the skin I've been working on and I was wondering if it was possible to have conditional layouts. That is, that the layout for at least a certain part of the page would be different depending on what kind of game the page is loading from. For instance, that the details page for an NES game would be set up slightly different than that of an SNES game or PS1 game (due to the different sizes/orientations of the covers, for example). Is that sort of thing possible? Or can the page use only one layout?

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. faeran's been helping me learn grids and I think I'm starting to get the hang of it after some practice with them today. It does sound better to make the theme more flexible for different resolutions since you never know what the person will be using.

Oh ok, didn't know that. thanks, as I haven't tried rotating any of my wheels yet. I didn't know that about margin, and I haven't really used padding. But what about translate? I use that too sometimes. I was just never sure how to get the fine positional control with grids to make small adjustments to make sure things are in the right spot.
