  3. Can you take a screenshot of your box - front priorities for me. Tools > Options > Media > Box Front Priorities
  4. My first guess is that the way the Quest handles apps might be a bit different from the way regular Android does, which could be why the app is getting confused when trying to parse them. However, just to confirm, what happens if you turn off the option to Show Android Apps? Does the error then go away?
  5. Since this thread, the ThirdParty ScummVM has actually been completely replaced with a new process that keeps ScummVM always up-to-date. Here's a good video showing it off:

    That's interesting. Themes cannot directly influence what shows up in the carousel, so that's very strange. There's absolutely no code in the theme itself other than saying "show image carousel here", and LaunchBox itself takes care of the rest. I did a quick test and, of course arcade cabinets show up in the carousel on my end, so if I had to make a guess, it's probably related to the exact same file access issue that we kind of side-stepped with that theme change.
  7. Yeah, see if your HDTV has display scaling higher than 100%. If it does, switch it down to 100% and test the theme out and see if it corrects it for you.
  8. In LaunchBox, open up Tools > Options, and find your Screenshot Priorities. Move up the gameplay image types to the top of the list.
  9. The image does clearly show an issue with some image priority configuration. You can ignore it and get some pretty good results, but if you do want to look into getting that fixed up it let me know and I can help. What you are seeing in Unified Redux theme is a 3D Model rendering your 3D Box Image on the front of it, which end up looking distorted like that.

    Here's one last try. If this doesn't work, you may unfortunately have to deal with your file access issues, whatever they are. Well, if this one doesn't work I could strip part of the theme out for you and it would most likely work. You just wouldn't be able to update the theme in the future if I ever end up releasing an update for it. PlatformFiltersDetailsView.7z
  11. In the Edit Playlist window, after you've changed the sort to Manual, go to the Games tab, and you can move games up and down the list to your liking.

    Only for themes that require a theme specific image to be called. Not a lot of LaunchBox themes have that tbh, so it's very likely you would never run into this issue except for Big Details. Was the error exactly the same for you, or different? Maybe you can take a screenshot.

    Interesting. Just from how themes fundamentally work, they don't determine file access issues. I did a quick test on a build that hadn't downloaded the theme before, and seemed to work just fine. My guess is this. The line it's referring to in the error is the default background graphic. The theme is trying to display an image from a specific location, and Windows is telling you that access to that location is denied (for whatever reason). If you want to troubleshoot reasons why this could be let me know, as they are plenty, and it's something you'd have to investigate on your side. I've made a quick change to how it's accessing that file in the following 2 files. I'm curious if it makes any difference if you copy and paste these into your LaunchBox\LBThemes\Big Details\Views folder, and then open LaunchBox. Views.7z

    The error seems to indicate you are having file access issues. How did you install the theme, was it through LaunchBox's Theme Manager, or did you download it from the forum?
  15. You can start with this thread:
  16. Hi drw4013, This is a very theme specific issue that usually happens when the dpi/scaling has been adjusted on your monitor, or if you have multiple monitors that use different scaling and you try and display the theme on a secondary monitor. A lot of older themes were missing code that would adjust the size of those thumbnails regardless of the scaling of a user's display.
  17. If your game is linked to a SteamID then only results that are linked to a SteamID on the GamesDB will show up. Looks like the first link has no SteamID, which is why you don't see it on the list. If you went and temporarily removed the application path from your game, then ran your title matching search, you'd see more results.
  18. When a change is fully rejected, you should be able to mouse over the rejected status icon to see a list of reasons why. That's how it should work. although I haven't tested this in a long while.
  19. Looks like you might have mistakenly either: Added 3D Box Image to your Box - Front Image priorities. You can check this in LaunchBox under Tools > Options > Media > Box Front Priorities. If it's there, uncheck it. Added a 3D Box Image into one of your Box - Front image types. If you did, you can edit the game, go to the images section, find the image and relabel it to 3D Box Image.
  20. Retro808 basically gave you the answer, but I'll try and clarify for you. I'm fairly certain the reason you are seeing what you are is because your Big Box startup view is set to Game Discovery Center, and custom themes just simply haven't created custom views for it yet. After you change themes, make sure to also switch to another section, like the platform or platform categories sections. Not all themes have created a custom view for every view file available to them.
  21. As stated, this will only work with a non-merged set. This will appear to work with merged and split sets, but then you'll find a lot of your games will not work due to missing files. The reason it works with non-merged is because it's the only set where every file actually equals 1 full game (not including CHD files) Not just regional versions, but yes, it's sort of like that. The video I posted has a section that will tell you the differences, so it's a good watch. That's correct Yup
  22. This will only work if you use a Non-merged set. But, you could go to your Arcade platform, select all the games, and run the Tools > File Management > Export/Copy ROM files from Selected Games to New Folder... It will make a copy of all your imported games into a new folder, which should work out to about 20GB. This won't bring over your CHD files, but if you have the CHD Requred playlist you could identify which CHD games you have, and manually move over the ones you have ROMs for. This part of the MAME video shows it in action: Again, this will only work if you use a non-merged set.
  23. Sounds like your issue is not the same as what this thread is talking about. You may potentially have better luck opening a new thread than necroing an unrelated thread from a few years back. The only thing I could comment on here is that I also have my computer go to sleep, but don't seem to have the same issue as you after it wakes up.
  24. Sorry to hear. I don't think I've ever heard about this issue before. I'm testing the Android app all the time, especially recently so I unfortunately don't have much to tell you at the moment as to why this would be happening just for you. Can you take some screenshots of the Import Pages? Maybe there's something to gather from them. After the import happens, it should be saving files under your LaunchBox\Data folders for that specific platform. I'm assuming this isn't happening, but if you can use a files app and check that could be helpful as well. When you say TurboGrafx, I'm assuming you mean TurboGrafx-16?
  25. Thanks for letting us know. If you run Tools > Download > Force Update Games Metadata Then you go through a ROM Import Wizard, does it still stop at Saving Games...?
