Something you may be getting confused with is that a License is not the same as a forums account, which is not the same as a LaunchBox Games Database account. From the sounds of it, you never had a LaunchBox Community Forums account, and you just created one. The yellow circle is part of the new syncing feature in LaunchBox that ties to your LaunchBox Games Database account. You should look here to see if you have one of those accounts or not: https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/account/sign-in Once you figure that out, you should be able to use those credentials inside of LaunchBox in order to start the syncing feature.

Beta 5 is out with the following fixes: Fixed: Details Pop Out wasn't rendering correctly on startup Fixed: GOG Credentials incorrectly being flagged as changed when scanning for achievements in Options Fixed: List View not scrolling to the correct location after certain events Fixed: Scrolling up from the bottom of boxes view would sometimes hitch making scrolling difficult

If your Nintendo Wii games have controller types associated with them, you can then use the filter button to only show games that use a specific controller type.

What does the rest of that page look like?

We will be looking into this before the next major release. It's possible it's just RetroAchievement API end points being down or changed, but it's hard to tell before we do our deep dive. At least just know it's nothing you can currently do at this time.

Definitely a cool idea. Another way you can currently implement this is to create subgenres instead of tags. Within the genre field you would put a forward slash in-between a genre and subgenre (genre / subgenre). LaunchBox would then recognize the second genre as a sub genre and would help with things like the related games feature and it would display accurately inside of the on-the-fly filter button (This is similar to how a MAME fullset would be handled when importing it into LaunchBox). Official support for this stuff on the LaunchBox Games Database would be nice, and is definitely somethin we've internally discussed many times. No idea when something like this would eventually make it into the database (it's on more of a very, very long term internal roadmap), but it would be cool to see and just know that it's on our radar.

Big Box manual viewer - Manuals are cut off on the right.

Are both your monitors running at different resolutions or scaling? What happens if you match both screens to the same resolution and scaling?- 3 replies

What do your display settings look like? What happens if you place your marquee monitor to the right of your main monitor?

I'm kind of curious if it's a platform or playlist issue. One thing you could try is to first completely close LaunchBox. Then head into your LaunchBox\Data\Playlists folder. Temporarily move everything out of this folder to a safe location on your PC. Now, open up Big Box and see if that made any difference at all. Don't forget to do the reverse to get your playlists back.

LaunchBox and Big Box is designed to take up as little resources as possible during gameplay. Try out the free version of LaunchBox and see how it feels when you launch a game. I'm pretty sure Big Box takes up less resources than LaunchBox does, so if you are okay with LaunchBox you should be good with Big Box.

One thing you could try is removing your EmuMovies credentials, saving out of the Options menu. Then editing a game that you know has media to download from EmuMovies and signing in from there. Just note that EmuMovies doesn't have every game on their server, so make sure you are choosing a game that you know has something available for the best test. If it still isn't working, you may need to reach out to EmuMovies to see if there's anything going on with your account on their end.

Are you able to post a screenshot of what the keyboard looks like?

That's definitely a strange one. Not really sure why the update would cause issues like that as not really much was touched that could have affected this. One thing you can try is downgrade to the previous update and see if it works better for you. If it does, then it could point to something in the update, if it still doesn't, it could point to something external that happened (like an OS update). You potentially have the previous apk file inside of your LaunchBox\Updates folder.

Beta 4 is out with the following: New Feature: Added StarRatingGrid, MediaPreview, MediaList (For theme devs) New Feature: Added ability to set details min height/width from theme Fixed: Issue with Images View while using certain short Image Groups Fixed: Rare crash in LaunchBox when selecting a platform with a large amount of playtime Fixed: Starting into ListView wasn't loading headers properly Fixed: Issue where certain actions while in ListView would throw a threading error Fixed: Some times you couldn't interact with the content view after a refresh This should fix the remaining issues people have reported with the image view.

If you mean having it rotated to the left spine side by default for the 3D Model that's located on the home page, that's a coding change you'd have to make to the theme. If you click on it, it allows you to move it in any direction you'd like. This would be another coding change, but it should be possible. I won't be adding the changes to the main Big Details theme, but anyone is free to do so and create their own version of it

If they are just games on your hard drive, find the game's file to open the game anddrag/drop it overtop LaunchBox to start the import wizard (you can do this for multiple files at the same time). Alternatively, you can go to Tools > Import > Manually Add Game... to do things one at a time.

This wouldn't be planned for a future update, however, there is nothing stopping you from creating a custom theme doing the changes you want to see. It wouldn't be too hard, but you will have to make some design decisions on how you would want it to end up looking. For example, the clear logo would be a much larger height than just having the title there. Another thing you may want to consider is what happens if one of your games does not have a clear logo. If you want to attempt it yourself, make a copy of the default theme and give the folder a new name. It's in: LaunchBox\Themes\Default Open up the following file: LaunchBox\Themes\[theme name]\Views\GameDetailsView.xaml Somewhere close to the top, you'll see something along the lines of: <TextBlock Text="{Binding Title}".... Replace that whole line with something like the following: <coverFlow:FlowImage ImageType="Clear Logo" DataContext="{Binding SelectedGame}" MaxHeight="{Binding Converter={StaticResource ScaleConverter}, ConverterParameter='40'}" Stretch="Uniform" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" Visibility="{Binding TitleVisibility}" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality"/> You can change the MaxHeight number to get the height that you want. Good luck.

Try to look under Big Box Options and turn these on: Marquee Screen > Ignore Theme Marquee Views Marquee Screen > Stretch Marquee Images to Fill the Screen

Are you able to provide a video of what you are seeing?

Assuming you are using RetroArch, delete the following files in these folders: RetroArch\overlays\GameBezels RetroArch\config\[platform]\ (if you made any game, game folder, or core overrides, you may want to watch out what you delete in these folders)

There is, but it would require that you make changes to the code of the custom theme. Based on the theme you are showcasing there, it's probably a bit of an extensive change to make, code-wise, but it's definitely possible.
