You may want to start your own thread for this issue, so it doesn't get lost in this beta thread. However, to start, you may want to use a program like Windows Focus Logger so you can determine what exactly is stealing focus on your computer.

This view was mistakenly added in the latest version of Colorful. Basically, it's an incomplete view that's not supposed to be there, and will most likely be removed in the next update.

This is actually a setting in Adobe Acrobat (if you use that). Go to Edit > Preferences > Documents and check off Restore last view settings when reopening documents.

You could use the Custom Image creator in the COMMUNITY Theme Creator to accomplish this. Switch to the custom image section at the top of the window: Choose one of the Custom Game Image dots at the bottom, and start editing it: Set your canvas size, place any of these image types in any location you'd like, and then render images for a platform (or your entire collection) at once.

You should be able to right click the platform in the side bar, and choose Auto-Generate Child Playlists

If they work in RetroArch using the fbneo core, then you should have luck setting it up that way in LaunchBox. Make sure RetroArch has an entry for the exact name of your Neo Geo platform under the Associated Platforms tab, then set it to use the fbneo core, and make sure the Extract ROMs checkbox is not checked. The first screenshots you posted may have also indicated that you imported the ROMs incorrectly. During the ROM importer wizard, you would want to make sure you check the option to Force using MAME metadata, and the Force importing duplicate games, just in case you already imported some of these games in another arcade pack. On the MAME page, make sure you check to Import all clones, Check none of the skip game options, and uncheck the create playlists.

Yes, I do believe that's a known issue with that theme.

What theme are you using?

It's possible. There are badges that appear in the top right, you'll have to decide what you want to do with them. I can't remember exactly how I coded it all, but it's possible you just need to change the alignment to the parent containers, and potentially adjust the margins.

Probably not what you want to hear, but I have my computer set to sleep, but when it comes out of sleep mode, Big Box remains responsive for me. So, I'm interested to know why it's happening for you. Maybe there are some adjustments to the Windows power options you could make.

If it's playing a preview video, you may have accidentally imported a preview video into LaunchBox, instead of the ROM. However, based on what you are saying here, you should first figure out what ROMset your files came from. That would be pretty important to determine. You said that they work inside of RetroArch, do you remember which core you have working for them?

If you did it multiple times, but it wasn't working, it sounds like you may have some bad data files inside of your LaunchBox\Data\Platforms folder. I would check inside of that folder and make sure you only have 1 file per platform, and no more.

Few things you can do is to only download the image groups that you want to use, and to turn on the media limit option to only download one image per image group. But just to set expectations, LaunchBox has about 9 image groups, and a MAME fullset with default import settings will net you just under 3k games. Let's say each image you download averages around 500Kb, and you only get 1 image for each image group, that would be 9x0.5x3000 = 13.5GB of images.

This is correct. None of that has been tackled yet, so if you are seeing something that is worse, it wouldn't have come from this update. At this point, we recommend that you do not randomize your Screen Transitions, but use one that won't cause you issues. We still need to determine how we want to tackle this one internally, and it may not come with this next update.

Sounds like you may be using a custom theme with an older version of the Game Marquee View file. You can solve this a number of ways, but the easiest way would be to go into Options > Marquee Screen, and enabling the option to Ignore Theme Marquee Views

Beta 2 is out with the following fixes: Fixed: Possible crash with the LaunchBox context menu for GOG games with application paths that don't exist Fixed: The Change View popup in Big Box was sometimes playing the select sound twice when selecting a view Fixed: Videos will now play correctly in more themes when backing into Platform Views and Game Views

Yes, but you would have to jump into the code of that view and duplicate the trigger that is used for SNES to also work for Nintendo Game & Watch.

What format are your games in?

The first 12.16 beta is out now and the thread for it can be found here:

Hey everyone, We are looking to put out a bugfix/QOL update, hopefully next week. In that vein, we have the first beta out and would love help testing the following changes: Improvement: Big Box RAM usage over time has been significantly reduced Improvement: Image region prioritization has been improved in several ways, which should help to reduce any region mismatches Improvement: When first starting LaunchBox as a premium user, game and platform details videos will now be automatically enabled Improvement: Added logic to allow LaunchBox to more accurately identify an additional app as a version instead of an app Fixed: The related game context menu now says "Install" instead of "Play" when a game needs to be installed Fixed: Auto-played music is no longer stopped by loading up game details when the Auto-Play Video setting is off inside of LaunchBox Fixed: Playing music in LaunchBox now pauses video playback in game details Fixed: Auto-played music that was paused when leaving LaunchBox now resumes when you return Fixed: Sometimes backing into a platform view in Big Box would not reload the details and resume video playback Fixed: Big Box platform views were not always respecting the Use Random Game Video setting Fixed: Starting LaunchBox with the Games Missing Media sidebar filter would sometimes throw errors Fixed: The FlowVideo control (used by theme developers) wasn't respecting the Use Random Game Video setting in all circumstances Fixed: Platform categories were not always displaying game totals correctly inside of Big Box Fixed: Some changes made by plugins weren't being saved correctly Beta 2: Fixed: Possible crash with the LaunchBox context menu for GOG games with application paths that don't exist Fixed: The Change View popup in Big Box was sometimes playing the select sound twice when selecting a view Fixed: Videos will now play correctly in more themes when backing into Platform Views and Game Views

My hunch is that it's the Screen Transition. Enable all your transitions, but keep Screen Transition to something like fade and let me know if you still see it.

Yeah, you'll want to post your xaml file, as what's interesting is that you posted the wrong TextBlock earlier in this thread that would only display the date, and not the time, so there's probably another TextBlock in the xaml specifically to display time.

Which theme do you use?

You may want to comment on the file itself, so the creator will get notified and be able to look into it when he has time.
