No, not if you used the full set importer. It ignores your files completely and uses other files, along with the settings you choose, to determine what, and how, to import.

Beta 5 is out with the following changes: Improvement: A second MAME High Scores popup has been added to the default theme and is now themeable Improvement: The Background Fade option is now used in the new default theme Improvement: Any Image Type will now work inside of a FlowImage (for theme devs) Fixed: Corrected Page Up/Down behavior in multiple views inside of Big Box Fixed: Videos not resuming in different scenarios within Big Box Fixed: More performance/memory usage issues. Fixed: Total game count number when navigating through categories when using a text list view Fixed: Showing the wrong platform or game details when navigating too quickly between views Fixed: Transitions now work on the Recent game thumbnail in Platform Wheel 1 of the new default theme While we are getting close to patching things up, there are still a few things we need to tackle before the release, so expect at least one more beta. Thanks for everyone's help so far with this beta, your reports truly do help.

If this is the only game you are having issues with, then you can Edit puckman, go into Additional Apps. Click on Alternate Names, click on Pac-Man, and choose "Set Selected Name as Title". You could also go into the Additional Apps section if you want to set which version of Pac-Man opens by default.

Hi @HerkDriver. This is just the default theme's LaunchBox Default Background, when no game is selected that has a background. Background options can be adjusted by going into Tools > Options Look under both the Backgrounds and Default sections, which are under Visuals.

So you are on one of the betas it sounds like. There should be another beta release either today or tomorrow. When it's out, upgrade to that and let us know in the main beta thread if it helps with your setup.

I'm assuming you are not on the version of LaunchBox this post is referring to. What version are you running?

This is just a theme, so not really any new features, just a different look and layout. It does contain a play button, if you consider that a feature. Just in case you don't know, you can download this theme from within LaunchBox by going into Tools > Manage LaunchBox Themes

Beta 4 is out with the following changes: Improvement: A new Swedish translation has been added thanks to gantraz from the LaunchBox Community Forums Improvement: Default now works in 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, and 9:16 aspect ratios Fixed: Corrected several performance/memory usage issues Fixed: All popups should once again work in the Pause Menu Fixed: Using Page Up/Down in FlowControls should be working correctly

Yes, this should be possible. Depending on where you place it, you may need to also tell LaunchBox where it is, and your ROMs would have to be located in the same spot as before.

Users usually see this when running outdated graphics drivers, or if they have the nahimic service running in the background. Get the latest graphics drivers from the manufacturer of the graphics card and disable nahimic if you find it and see if that helps.

The new default theme won't be doing this, but this is possible without a plugin. If you are wanting to learn how to do this you can make a post in one of the theme sections and I can reply there.

Beta 3 is out with a bunch more changes to Big Box: Improvement: More changes to the default theme (with more to come) Fixed: Issues with some users applying the default theme Fixed: Issue using a controller in the Manage Themes section Fixed: Going back from search results would land you on an empty page in certain views Fixed: The Option Popup now starts with the current selected item highlighted Fixed: Corrected Default theme settings to show available views

Hi @emul8. Are you able to take a screenshot of what you are referring to?

Short answer is yes. Haven't looked at the code of this theme, but since it's a custom theme, you would have to open up the respective xaml file (for example, the screenshot you provided would be the TextGamesView.xaml), find the code for the platform logo and move it above the code that deals with the game lists. There's also the possibility it's using the Panel.ZIndex property, and changing the number to something lower than the game list would also do that. Essentially, since it's a custom theme, you would have to dive into the code to make the changes you want to see. All view files should be in: LaunchBox\Themes\Unified Redux\Views

You don't actually have to add it to a theme. Just press down on one of the platforms to bring up the menu, and choose Edit Media

Beta 2 is out with the following changes: Improvement: Some Big Box popups will now work across more resolutions and aspect ratios Fixed: Corrected a navigation issue when backing out from one view to another Fixed: Navigation issue within the Favorites and Recent Games thumbnails on some platform views Fixed: Big Box controller navigation issues in certain configuration setups @Fursphere@bundangdon@TheNewClassics Can you download beta 2 and let us know if the navigation issues you were facing have been fixed. Thanks everyone for helping test the beta.

If this is referring to the desktop application, that drop-down menu reads your RetroArch core folder and lists anything inside of it, so make sure the version of RetroArch you are using inside of LaunchBox has that core in there, or it won't show up in the drop-down menu. I just used the Tools > Manage > RetroArch > Update tool to get the newest version of RetroArch and its cores, and puae2021 does get downloaded and shows in the menu.

There's a number of common mistakes that people can do while setting up MAME on LaunchBox for Android. Here are just a couple: You are not using a MAME full set, or you are using a MAME variant (like MAME 2003 or FB Neo), but during import you left on the option "This is a Full MAME Set". - This would cause LaunchBox to import links to rom files you don't even have, causing the black screen. You would have to delete the platform out of LaunchBox for Android, and reimport with this option off. You have a MAME full set, and you know it's a recent version, but you are pointing to the wrong core. - This can be confusing because there's a core called mame_libretro_android.so, which is not the core you want. The core that gets downloaded inside of RetroArch is called mamearcade_libretro_android.so

Not sure about Neon Deluxe Arcade, but usually themes need to be built to work with 4:3 screens. Maybe @Mr. RetroLust knows more about whether his theme would actually work properly in 4:3 aspect ratio. If it does, and if you can confirm that your computer is still in 4:3 while Big Box is running, then you would just need to refresh the view and the theme would adjust itself.

This is correct. Additional Apps can be used for: Other versions of the same game Programs you need to run before the game launches or after the game closes Additional documents/links, like strategy guides, maps, etc...

Usually having games scrape the wrong platform indicates that you imported them using a non-standard platform name and forgot to set a Scrape As value. You can check if this is true by right clicking your platform and going into Edit and checking whether you have a value set for Scrape As. If not, then the easiest thing for you to do is to delete the platform entirely and importing again, this time remembering to set that Scrape As value, or even better, just using the standard name for the platform (I believe it's Commodore Amiga).

Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but there's a feature in RetroArch called "Game Focus". By default it's toggled by pressing Scroll Lock. Once pressed it ignores RetroArch hotkeys so you can focus on games that require a keyboard to play.

This is actually working as intended. I purposefully disabled horizontal scrolling, but the side-effect of that is you can only have so many columns listed at once. You must right click the headers and uncheck the columns you don't want to see until the list is manageable.

You would have to create your own custom theme, and remove that part of the code. Or use a different theme that suits you better.

Sure, you can, just have to mess with the GameDetailsView.xaml
