You can see if this tutorial is still of any value:

Did you update to 13.24 beta 1, that would most likely fix that for you since it contains a specific fix for people on 30 series GPUs.

You'll want to go into Big Box Options and tell us which Video Playback engine you are set to use in there. If nothing is set, set one and see if it works for you.

You can somewhat get what you are after, but maybe not in the same kind of visual you were thinking of. You can combine games together in LaunchBox and give each version you have a custom name. Then in Big Box, you can click on a game to get to the game menu and then click on the "Launch Version" button and get presented with all of your different game versions. So it would be a list like: Hack 1 Hack 2 Translation V1 V2 USA Whatever you want to call it You select the version and it launches into the emulator and you play.

Did you update to 13.24 beta 1 yet?

Unfortunately, that is purposeful. We only bring over the artwork that was made for the Android app. It's limited due to a number of factors, things like storage and performance limitations. However, if you are wanting a very specific image type/group to replace one on Android (like 3D Box Image instead of Box - Front), it's possible that could be done through some workarounds using the Windows application and porting it over using the Export to Android functionality. On a side note, which types are you hoping to have over on Android?

Yup, you are right. That is planned to be solved before we release the 13.24 hotfix. How did you update a game's metadata? Edit the game and make a change, run the metadata and media wizard? Do you remember the options you chose? A specific example would help us test this.

Off the top of my head, I can't think of any theme that has really delved deep and changed all potential views to be readable for that screen size. Most themes tend to stick to altering a few platform/filter and game views and tend to leave out the pop-up / child views. I don't know every theme though, so there could be one!

Pretty sure that's already done with horizontal wheel 2, but it's been a long time and I could be mistaken.

Are you able to provide which version of LaunchBox you are on, which theme you are using in Big Box, the version of the theme, where you got the theme, and which Video Playback engine you are using in Big Box (under System Menu > Options > Videos). Also, are you running anything in Big Box when it happens, Attract Mode or Screensavers. Is there a particular section in Big Box you are leaving it in when this happens. Does your computer go to sleep or monitors turning off after a certain time, or are there any power options that you have that turns off pieces of your computer, like USB ports, network, hard drives, things like that?

Anyone can edit themes, there just may be some getting up to speed with how to using the documentation found here: https://feedback.launchbox.gg/help/collections/8448047-theming You'll see in this section it calls out the 2 mame high score files that would need to be added into the theme and edited: https://feedback.launchbox.gg/help/articles/9450321-big-box-views#2o0t1cbcppz

Yeah, a lot of hardware specific things going on that's only a problem for users using that specific piece of hardware... whatever it may be. We are looking into music this week and hope to have some kind of solution that's less prone to the whims of Nvidia and driver makers.

While I'm not 100% what setting you changed, what you would be looking for is a setting in the emulator you are using, not a setting in LaunchBox. It's possible if you list the emulators you use, someone might be able to direct you to that setting in that emulator for you.

I can understand that frustration. The good news, at least with your example, is that's why that kind of thing is themeable. Anyone could create a 640x480 optimized Big Box theme and change almost everything about it, including the MAME High Scores window there. That would definitely be an interesting experiment. However, I would assume not many people have had a desire to do so up until now because even if they are playing on a cabinet, they most likely are using some kind of modern display in it. I would definitely be interested in seeing one made though.
