Hi @The Hillarican. Sega CD requires a bios file to work. Did you remember to add it to RetroArch?

I recently checked Redream and it does work inside of LaunchBox for Android already, but you must first add your game folder inside of Redream and then go into your Android settings and give redream the file permission called "Allow management of all files".

A black screen in RetroArch usually means you have some kind of mismatch between your settings in LaunchBox for Android and what RetroArch is tring to do with them. Focus on one platform that isn't working, like NES, and make sure: You have imported your NES games properly - you can edit the metadata of any game and see the file path, and make sure it's correct. You have the correct emulator & core selected in LaunchBox - it may be worthwhile for you to download a number of different NES cores in RetroArch, then in LaunchBox, under the NES Emulator settings, make sure you've chosen RetroArch (64-bit sideloaded), and try a few different cores out and see if you notice any difference between them (Make sure while you are doing the above, that you close RetroArch down completely (from the app switcher) before trying to launch a game) Another reason you can see the black screen is if you are missing any dependencies inside of RetroArch, like a bios file, but in your case, this doesn't seem to be the case.

Does this emulator have an official website or github?

Did you make sure, after exiting LaunchBox for Android, that you opened the Android app switcher and closed LaunchBox from there? Just closing back to the home screen, and opening LaunchBox back up is probably not enough to trigger the prompt. Other than that, the only other reason I've heard of that the prompt wouldn't show up is a bad internet connection.

You can start here with the CTC: The RetroMag Community Theme Creator files should be one of the download links when you download the theme from the forums here.

Beta 3 is now out with the following: New Feature: LaunchBox can now downloaded bezels for both MAME and RetroArch, during import and media downloads (courtesy of the Bezel Project) Improvement: FlowContext now has new properties that allow you to rotate the item (for Big Box theme developers) Improvement: FlowContext now has new properties that you can use for styling based on where the item is in relation to the selected item (for Big Box theme developers) Improvement: The Export to Android process now works with games that have multiple discs Improvement: The Export to Android process now resizes any overly large images to a maximum of 2000x2000 pixels Improvement: The Export to Android process now includes an option to only export favorited games for specific platforms Improvement: The Export to Android process now includes an option to extract archives Improvement: The Tools > File Management > Export/Copy ROM Files from Selected Games to New Folder feature will now copy all discs for the selected games (if there are multiple discs) Fixed: Browsing for an application path in Add/Edit Additional apps now takes you to the games folder if no path is set Fixed: In LaunchBox, while in a game detail's pop-up window, viewing a game's images in full screen would show images for an incorrect game.

Thanks @thomsi. Tbh, I'm not entirely sure what it would take to convert it. It's probably a bit of work. You could always download the CTC files, load it up in the CTC and give it a shot

It will update both the program and its cores to the latest stable version.

I haven't ported this theme to the CTC yet, although the CTC is getting close to be able to support a theme like this, so I may circle back and spend time to do this in the future.

Right click a game, go into Edit > Edit Metadata/Media. On the left side, with all the sections, it's under Metadata > Sort Title

I haven't heavily looked into this, but one would think that a game that has a colon in it wouldn't always be the first in a game series, so if you were to change a global setting of some kind, you would end up messing with the order of other series. So, while not the answer you were looking for (since you said it would take too much time), LaunchBox does have a special field called the Sort Title, for every game, which can change the position of a game in your list, without needing to alter the game's name. You can find this if you edit any game, and go into the Sort Title section.

You would go into the Unified theme files, and find the Views folder, which should be located in the following path: LaunchBox\Themes\Unified\Views In there, you'll see a bunch of xaml files that you can open in your favorite text editor. You'll want to find the file that correlates to the news you want to change and open that (eg. if you use Vertical Wheel 1 for your game view, you'll want to open WheelGamesView.xaml). Then you make the changes that you want. The code is in WPF, so you'll need to know at least a bit to make changes.

Now that I have a clearer head, I'm pretty sure I never officially released the CTC BannerBox files because I didn't actually build the whole thing inside of the CTC (it's currently not possible yet). Maybe I'm remembering that wrong though, but if I'm not, it's actually not possible to load this theme into the CTC yet. Not until CTC 2.4 is released.

It's possible that you didn't unblock the CTC zip file that you downloaded before unzipping it. Use your original download (or download it again), right click the zip file, go into properties, and unblock it. Then extract it to a new location and move the BannerBox CTC files into it. See if that helps. If you publish a theme correctly from the CTC, it's designed to never show errors like that in Big Box.

One thing you could do is create a shortcut to a folder and then add the shortcut as an additional app.

Sure, they are also all available in the default theme.

Some updates to LaunchBox for Android themes: A new theme has been released: Emblem Alisia has been updated to 1.01 - It now uses a font converter to help with font size consistency across more devices Unified Lite has been updated to 1.01 - the layout of the platform logo, video and boxes have been adjust and should now be more dynamic across different devices.

I will just be taking what's already available in the original theme and porting it over to a Big Box theme.

I've taken over the development of this theme. It's about 75% complete, but has been put on hold for now. It may come out later on this summer, if I can find some time to work on it.

The error reads like a theme issue. Looks like in the screenshot you are trying to use Unified Refried? My guess is that inside the view you are loading, for that theme, there's a coding issue.

LaunchBox just uses the Microsoft built-in directx controller support, so there must be some miscommunication happening between that particular controller and directx. You could try a third party controller mapping program that would convert your inputs into an emulated xinput controller. I've had good luck with x360ce in the past.

Assuming you've already imported your PS1 games correctly, and have associated them with a particular Emulator. You would go to Tools > Manage > Emulators, double click on the RetroArch emulator that your PS1 games are pointing to, go into the Associated Platforms section and make sure you have a PS1 entry in there, and that the core dropdown has the correct core selected.
