Not sure if it's related, but I know when I upgraded my computer, I lost permissions on my secondary drives. I ended up having to take ownership of them and apply permissions to all my folders and files once again to my username.

Hi @Truest1. Possibly worth it to share the theme you are using. I believe the pictures you took with your phone show Unified & Ultrawide. If this is the case, you can look inside the following folder: LaunchBox\Themes\Unified & Ultrawide\Images\Platforms\Fanart You'll see all the images in there. You should be able to remove the ones you want, or replace them with something else.

Hi @Kan. This is unfortunately a known issue. While some people have no problem, others are seeing the -200 error. It has not been an easy one to pin-point. Personally, I see it intermittently, and only with certain files.

If you are looking for an aspect ratio in decimal, you would divide the two numbers. So around 0.66

Hi @Hollingsbee, Does this happen with the default Big Box theme?

Pretty sure that the theme was updated to fix this issue a while back. Download the latest version of the theme on the forums and you should be good to go.

Hi @JosephA. For a starting point, one thing you can try is try and run your games through RetroArch and make sure the games are set up properly and can be played. Once you confirmed that, then we can narrow it down to something in your LaunchBox configuration that you'll need to adjust.

I went and tested the same Sony PSP games running through PPSSPP and was able to successfully launch them from LaunchBox for Android using an up-to-date Android 11 Samsung Galaxy S20 device. Sorry that I can't really help you out here @Kaio0411, but just thought I'd mention my findings for anyone curious.

Hi @DraxDauragon. This issue was fixed a while back and shouldn't be an issue with current versions of LaunchBox. It's possible that you may be seeing other issues. The most common are: You already have the same ROM imported in another platform - you'll have to check Force Duplication option to import the game again in another platform. This is common for people wanting to import MAME full rom sets, but then also want to import certain arcade systems as separate platforms as well. You have combine ROMs enabled during import - this will combine different versions of the same ROM into one game entry, making it look like LaunchBox imported less games than the files that you have. You have something checked under View > Hide Games - this will import games and then hide them based on any settings you have enabled in there. For example, if you have enabled "Hide Games > Missing Videos", then the game won't show up in your list if you didn't download videos for it during import.

Anything made in the Community Theme Creator should work pretty good for your situation.

Sorry for the delay. Here you go: The POC - babynebbia edition - 1.4.zip

Hi @Papadon, I do believe that Big Box will take the height of your main monitor and determine text size based off of that. This is why when you set your screen as the main monitor, the text appears fine. Some custom themes are built using third party plugins that get around this somewhat, so you can say that it's theme dependent. Using these themes could help, or adjusting the resolution of your monitors to more closely match each other could help as well. You could also create your own theme and adjust text sizes to work with your setup. While these are not the best solutions, hopefully they can point you in the right direction.

Hi @BrainyCabde. If your PC crashes, pretty sure LaunchBox won't be able to do the necessary save procedures to save your download position. You could use the Audit tool to determine which games received media and which did not. Then select the games that didn't and run the Download Metadata and Media tool.

That does sound very odd. Themes don't actually control any of that logic, so very curious to know what could be happening here. A screenshot would be nice to see. What images are you trying to change?

Settings are saved when you close LaunchBox. Is it possible that you are rebooting Windows without closing LaunchBox first? This would force close LaunchBox and skip that saving process that happens in the background after closing.

Beta 4 is out with the following: Fixed: Some Amazon Games' install flag were being incorrectly set on start-up and during game import Translation updates Thanks for the help testing.

Beta 3 is out with the following: Improvement: Added 7 more emulators to LaunchBox's default emulator settings: Xemu, Cxbx-Reloaded, RPCS3, Xenia, DuckStation, bsnes, and Supermodel Fixed: Adding an image to a Platform, Platform Category, or Playlist's edit window will no longer cause an error while using certain languages. Fixed: The LaunchBox Add/Edit Emulator window will once again filter for the emulator's specific application file by default, if an emulator was selected from the drop down list (introduced in 12.0) Fixed: All badges can now be used with the FlowBadge control in Big Box Fixed: Rare null reference error when using the FlowBadge control in Big Box Thanks everyone for the help in testing.

Hi @GarbonZoni. Couple things: Your platform names and the names in Associated Platforms do have to match, so it's good that you figured that out. You'll need to uncheck the "Extract ROM archives before running" option, which is in the Details section of your RetroArch Edit Emulator window. All MAME type arcade systems cannot use this option.

Should be able to update all your fields by selecting all your games and running Tools > Download > Update Metadata and Media During the wizard, uncheck any of the media types and choose "Yes, but do not replace any existing fields or media (recommended)"

Awesome @harryoke. Let me know if you need any help with it.
