Auto installed retroarch launching in the background.

If you would like to find out which program on your computer may be pulling focus away, this seems to be a good program to do so: https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Info/Window-Focus-Logger.shtml -
Yes. you've basically created a fork of this theme in the CTC. Maybe best to give your version a different name in the CTC and then publish it. Any new changes, you could download the new CTC files and see if there's anything you would like to update from them. CTC is pretty robust that you can copy and paste what you want and apply it to your theme. You could also do this in reverse and apply your changes to any new CTC files that come out for this theme.

All themes that are bundled with Big Box are designed to self-heal themselves. If you create a custom theme, by making a copy, you won't run into this issue. A user also has full control on which views they would like to see. If you go into Options > Views, you can set the default game list you would like to see. You could also create a keyboard or controller mapping to Switch View, and use that to switch views on the fly, while on a games view.

This is all true what @Retro808 posted. You could also just grab the SideBarView.xaml from the Default theme, and copy/paste it over the one in Default Plus.
-
You would have to remove that code from SideBarView.xaml
-
You would have to custom edit the theme and remove that code from PlatformFiltersDetailsView.xaml

Can you guys tell us which theme, or theme variation you are using, and whether you are coming from the Game Details page, or do you bypass that?
-
This theme was updated to 1.6, and fully supports the new features in 12.15, including Platform Details and the Manage Installations features. It also comes with some extra goodies, like a button to play your last played and most played game within the category, platform, or playlist you are in, along with a Play Random Game button that will instantly launch a playable game (it won't try and launch a Windows game you don't have installed, for example) within your given section. This can be downloaded here on the forums, or within the LaunchBox Themes Manager.
-
Are you guys seeing it freezing the app, or does it just never show results? Also, like Jason mentioned, if it's freezing, can either of you provide a log file for the time you got the app to freeze. It's found in the LaunchBox\Logs folder.

There's a field called Release Type that should separate Hacks from Releases, but I don't think you can filter by this. You can, however, sort by this field, so there's some sort of grouping that can be done within a game list. But if you are wanting Release Type to be added as a filter option, you may need to put in that as a request.
-
Yeah, this would be the easiest move, since you can combine themes together. -
The current version of BannerBox doesn't come with any custom banners. only the older versions do. Instead, it just uses your own box images. It's possible you are still using an older version.
-
That's right, you'll need to be on the latest beta for this feature.
-
You most likely accidentally pressed the flip box button without realizing it.
-
It uses the Sort Title. Hold down on one of the platforms to bring up the platform menu, the select Edit Metadata. Then find Sort Title. Change them all to release year, and you'll get the sorting you want.

You may just need to refresh your image cache. Found under Options > Image Cache

The one thing I'll say on this is we have talked, and planned out, at length what we would want to do to revamp our ScummVM implementation to make it more self-sufficient, and it's on our long list of things to do. I can't promise when this will happen, but it's on the list.

LaunchBox for Android attempts to do this for you. If you import all your games together for all regions (you'll probably want to uncheck the Combine Games option), then set the Default Secondary Filter to Region, then when you enter into a platform, you'll be presented with all available regions. This works well as long as your ROMs have the region marked on the files themselves.
-
For something like this, you would need to download the CTC files, load it up into the CTC, and alter those elements yourself. You would probably need to replace the title element in those two views with a Viewbox that has the title text inside of it. Something like that anyway.

You may want to find out whether you have a regular license or a forever-updates license, before going through the process of upgrading. The vendor would have had to purchase a license just for you, as there's no such thing as a vendor specific license. If you have any questions about your license, you can reach out to support@unbrokensoftware.com

Do it the way you are doing it, but leave the "Auto-Populate this Playlist" option unchecked, as you don't want a dynamic playlist. Close it out, and now you can right click any game (or games) and add them to a playlist. You could also skip the creation step, right click games, and choose Add to Playlist > New Playlist, to create a new one.

LaunchBox for Android does have per-game emulator override options. Select a game to open its game menu and choose Emulator Settings. That will open the Override Platform Emulator Settings, where you can choose a different core for that particular game, or an entirely different emulator, if you choose.
-
Not sure if it helps, but I ran a test with the folder structure you presented, using the subfolder and folder name options, and it seemed to use the folder names just fine. However, keeping your files in this state can definitely cause you some headaches. You may want to think about switching to a more standard naming convention like no-intro/redump.
-
Are you trying to do this with LaunchBox for Android or LaunchBox for Windows?
-
Those two systems should be called: Nintendo Entertainment System Super Nintendo Entertainment System If they are not called that, then those views won't work. Having them named based on LaunchBox standards would solve a lot of theme related issues you may run into like this. Alternatively, if you just want to solve this for CoverBox, you can go into the following folder, and rename the correct platform view files to match the names you have. LaunchBox\Themes\CoverBox\Views\TextGamesView LaunchBox\Themes\CoverBox\Views\TextListView
