By default, you'll find a LaunchBox folder on the root of your internal storage.

Well, I do believe right now those extra docs will appear inside the additional versions section of that menu. They will also show up in the pause menu. The location could be improved, however, I do recommend you make a request over on bitbucket so it doesn't get lost in an old beta thread.

This would definitely be theme specific. The issue is most likely caused by the image being placed inside of a stackpanel while either not having a max height set, or the max height that is set is too large. You'd see it mostly for really tall boxes (like Nintendo Switch).

Uploading a New Version of Platform File Keeps Getting Damaged.
faeran replied to malarrya's topic in Troubleshooting
If I remember correctly, there's a file size limit. I can't recall exactly what it is set to, but to be safe, I'd recommend splitting files to under 2GB parts. Uploading (and downloading for that matter) is controlled by a ton of factors. One thing to note is that when uploading to the forums, you are uploading to a single server in a specific part of the world. Depending on where you are in the world, relative to the location of the server, can affect your speeds. There's not really much you can do about that. -
Big Box Custom Theme Help - Animation Pop-In
faeran replied to GrumpyBob's topic in Custom Theme Tutorials
Looks like you either need to set the default location of the video container to appear off to the side, or set an animation that triggers when the view loads that places the video container off to the side by setting the From and To as the same thing with a BeginTime and Duration of 0:0:0. You also could have conflicting animations going on there, so I would double check all of that to make sure nothing is out of order. -
Hi Paul. If you mean a video that would play when the app is opened, currently LaunchBox for Android does not support this. If you feel strongly about it, you can always make a request for this over on our bitbucket. Looks for the link at the top of the page: HELP & SUPPORT > REQUEST A FEATURE

Golden Tee Fore 2006 Works but Colors are All Wrong
faeran replied to rootelement's topic in Emulation
Based on a quick google search, it's possible that version of MAME had color issues with that game. You may need to update to a newer set.- 1 reply

In LaunchBox, go into Tools > Options and find the General > Updates section. Uncheck the three options.

If I'm remembering correctly, I don't think device images was ever something LaunchBox bundled with the program itself, but was always something that a user had to add themselves.

For MS-DOS games, make sure you have downloaded the DOSBox Pure core, and have chosen that within LaunchBox as well. That's the only core that can run zipped MS-DOS games, and is what the export function is set up to use.

Retroarch not playing games within launchbox???
faeran replied to Mighty_Richman's topic in Troubleshooting
Sounds like you may have a number of configuration issues inside of LaunchBox. This indicates that you may have accidentally imported mp4 files during your ROM import process. This happens if you have your ROM files and your video files in the same folder and import the entire folder or all the files into LaunchBox. This indicates that you are possibly pointing to a different version of RetroArch than you are thinking. One that doesn't have any cores available. In LaunchBox, go into Tools > Manage > Emulators. Edit your RetroArch entry, and see what the application path is. That will tell you where LaunchBox is expecting to find RetroArch. Then in explorer, go to that location and make sure cores are available (if not, you can download them within RetroArch, or use LaunchBox's RetroArch download and installer found under Tools > Manage > RetroArch. Then, go back to your RetroArch emulator window inside of LaunchBox and check your Associated Platforms section to make sure each platform you want to play is associated with the core that you want to use. -
When you enable beta versions in the app, then each time you open LaunchBox it will check to see if a beta version is available. If it is, then it will ask you if you would like to update. If there isn't, then nothing out of the ordinary will happen. The way themes work on Android is that a theme creator can add as many views as they like, or as little as they like, to their theme. This means that a theme could only have 1 platform view, or 1 games view, or many of both. After you download a theme, then either on a platform view or a games view, you can click on the top right menu and choose Change View. You'll find available theme views there.

Is it possible for themes to show platforms as a grid?
faeran replied to Claudio Filipe's topic in Noobs
While it's possible to display them as a grid, the reason you don't see it often is because there's no official wall type for a platform view. Navigation is tied to the view, therefore, you would end up with platforms in a grid, but you would only be able to navigate left and right. A plugin may be able to get around this limitation. -
Check under Options > Views > Background Fade

Each program/core would need to specifically have support for m3u disc swapping for this to work. If not, you'll need to find out their method of swapping discs and work within the confines of the emulator.

I took your MainView.xaml file and applied it to the theme but I'm not getting the same freeze you are. It's possible it's not a freeze caused by the theme, or that there's another change not present in this MainView.xaml file. More often than not theme changes won't freeze LaunchBox, but will present you with a theme error and fallback to the default.

Microsoft broke this functionality in certain scenarios for users, depending on what versions of .NET you already have installed on your system. As posted above, the next version of LaunchBox has solved this moving forward.

If you have built yourself a custom LaunchBox theme and want to include support for the new Sync Status Icon that was released with version 13.3, you can do the following. Open up your theme's MainView.xaml file. Make sure you have the following namespace added: xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:Unbroken.LaunchBox.Windows.Controls;assembly=Unbroken.LaunchBox.Windows" Here's the code for the sync status icon. Add it to a place you want it to be in your theme. I've added comments to better explain each section just in case you would like to customize it:
-
Are you able to clarify what device you are using and which version of Android you are on?
-
The version of .NET Core that you need is version 3.1. Here's a link to the download: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/runtime-desktop-3.1.32-windows-x64-installer However, when the next version is released you will no longer need that dependency as we are going to bundle .NET 6.0 with the program itself.
-
This could mean you've already imported the same file into your library. During the import, on the Custom Options page, you can check to "Force import duplicate games". If this allows you to then see the file on the last page of the import, then you know this is the case.

How to Remove Unwanted ROMs in Launchbox MAME Arcade Set
faeran replied to Ryuk210's topic in Troubleshooting
If you have a non-merged romset, then you could potentially use the option under Tools > File Management > Export/Copy ROM Files from Selected Games to New Folder... If you have either a merged or split set, then there's not a great way to clean up the folder, as each game ROM may have a number of other files as dependencies, and you'll break the games by using that utility.
