It's similar in Big Box. There's an option called "Device" that appears right below the "Use All Controllers" option. Select that and you should be presented with a list of available devices that you can choose from.

What platform are you trying to get up and running?

I checked the code and the way that it's implemented means you'd have to alter multiple points in the code for it to work properly. If you'd like, you can PM me and I can try and work through it with you when I get some time. It's recommended to download this theme from within LaunchBox itself using the Manage LaunchBox Theme's window. The way the forums work is that I don't put Big Details in a folder within a folder. What users usually do is get the zip program to extract into a new folder not realizing it's already in a folder itself, which causes the confusion for a percentage of users that don't realize it's doing that. There may also be issues with needing to unblock the file (and its contents itself). Both are common things users do need to learn when dealing with downloading theme files here, or just downloading certain files from the internet. It's why it's easier to recommend to get it from within LaunchBox

kind of curious, do you have video files in the same folder as your game files?

Somewhat true, yes. There's also better ways to architect themes, so a poorly optimized one would perform worse than an optimized one, even with the same design. If you do need some help with XAML, send me a PM and I'd be happy to help.

You can always check the changelog in the app or on the web to stave off confusion: https://www.launchbox-app.com/about/changelog

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.

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

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?
