Hi @ninochar. Are you seeing the MAME menu or the MAME disclaimer? A screenshot could clarify this. If it's the disclaimer then that is built into MAME. My understanding is that the only way to remove it is to use an unofficial version where it was removed, or remove it yourself and compile your own version. We do have @MadK9 who graciously posts the no-nag version of MAME in the downloads section. Most recent one can be found here:

Hi @d8thstar. With the way you have it described here, it's not currently possible in Big Box, so you can definitely go ahead and open up a request over on BitBucket. In the meantime, you could use the hide/unhide functionality in LaunchBox. There's a toggle in the Big Box options that will allow you to Show or hide hidden games. Myself, and other have also set up a separate copy of LaunchBox just for kids.

Sorry for the late response, but glad you figured it out.

Hi @GiSWiG. From what I've just tested, it does appear that if you use the fullset MAME importer, then the region priorities do take properly (I see 1944u as the main game), while if you are importing via ROM importer and using MAME metadata, I'm seeing what you are seeing. Will mark it down to investigate further to see if there's something that can be adjusted here.

Hi @Ritchardo. I've been unable to produce the same issues on my builds as you are seeing. Are you able to provide exact steps that makes you unable to save?

The duplicating your LaunchBox install, and then curating the copy to only include the games that you want your kids to play is what Jason was referring to. Unfortunately, there's no simpler way at the moment.

Changing back to Old Default does work, but I don't think this is what you are wanting to do. If you are referring to the colors of the windows, you can change those using the Dialog Theme options.

Right click any of your auto-populate playlists, choose Edit and click on the Auto-Populate tab. This will show you the rules it uses to determine whether a game appears within the playlist. You can also edit the rules to better suit your needs.

Hi @Gef. I'm not sure if this was your issue with the "Update Metadata and Media for Selected Games..." Tool, but a few things to keep in mind when using this tool: That you are actually selecting all the games you want to download Media for before running the tool. As an example, you could choose your platform, select a game and then press CTRL+A on your keyboard That when you get to this window below, you select the middle option of "Yes, but do not replace any existing fields or media (recommended)

Hi everyone, Beta 2 is now out with a few fixes: Fixed: You can now clear the Scrape As value of a platform in Edit Platform Fixed: Select audio was playing twice on occasion when navigating Platform Categories in Big Box Fixed: Corrected several issues related to the Bulk Edit Wizard (introduced 12.2 beta 1) Fixed: Refresh All Images has been added to View menu (introduced 12.2 beta 1) Fixed: Reduced the time it took to switch pages in the various wizards (introduced 12.2 beta 1) Thanks for your continued help with beta testing.

Closer to the first part of the year there was a discussion and this sort of integration was deemed possible. So we added it to the summer Community Poll and it ended up being popular with you guys. For this first phase of the integration, we chose to focus on stability of the feature, and the stable version is as good as it gets. But it's good to know that you would be interested in a nightly option and we will keep that in mind for future phases. This feel unrelated to this current beta. However, we will keep this in mind during the next time we work on a performance update.

Yes, this is definitely one way you can accomplish this.

Hi everyone, 12.2 Beta 1 is now out with the following changes: New Feature: RetroArch can now be automatically downloaded and installed via the ROM import processes (if it's not installed already); this makes it super easy to get up and playing just by running the ROM import wizard and doing literally nothing else New Feature: RetroArch management options are now available under Tools > Manage > RetroArch; there are options to automatically update, update cores, and install or reinstall Improvement: The Arrange By menu can now be used in ascending or descending order Improvement: The menus in LaunchBox have been organized for easier navigation Fixed: Correcting a rare error when saving an emulator without a command line (introduced in 12.0) Fixed: In Big Box, the Launch With option in Game Details no longer shows for games that don't use an emulator Fixed: Incorrect download count when processing multiple EmuMovie queues Fixed: FlowVideo control was not always updating the HasVideo binding correctly Fixed: Add/Edit Emulator will now once again let you add two different cores for the same platform when editing RetroArch Thanks for helping beta test LaunchBox.

It should move the images to the appropriate folder. You could also click on the LaunchBox ID link (next to the game name) and check the database to see if the image type is mislabeled, and if they are, you can put in a request to correct it.

Never seen that before. I'm assuming other custom themes don't have this issue for you? You could try: Right click the theme's zip file and choose properties. Make sure you Unblock the file before extracting. Double check you didn't extract a folder within a folder (it shouldn't be Themes\RetroCRT\RetroCRT\, it should be Themes\RetroCRT\) Check to see if the images actually exist - They are looking for them in Themes\RetroCRT\Media\Theme\

Hi @mpose46. I've never seen this happen before. You normally should be able to press whatever you have mapped to your "Select" button. You can check what you have that button mapped to. Just keep in mind that LaunchBox and Big Box have separate mapping options.

A fix is coming for this in the next beta. As stated by @neil9000 previously in this thread. Should be out this week.

You could play around with the capture method, which can be found if you right click your display source and choose Properties. There's no perfect capture method, but one may end up showing your exit screen at least.

Hi @The Papaw Can you PM me a screenshot of your submission entry?

Hi @akera099. What do you mean by bezel and overlays? RetroCRT is a 4:3 Big Box theme.

This is definitely possible. Check The POC code as an example of this, as I have done something similar. Like @y2guru has mentioned, you will need to use the new wheel code, which is currently not available in the CTC. The way I handled this was to publish my theme and then manually replace the coverflow with the new code. This is what you can see in the POC code. Also, the documentation.pdf file (located in \\LaunchBox\Themes) also has some information regarding the new wheel and its properties.

Should be able to reduce the code to this: <coverFlow:FlowVideo DataContext="{Binding SelectedPlatform}" PlayVideo="True" PlayAudio="False" FallbackToDefault="False" /> If you are wanting to have theme specific platform videos, you can place them in the COMMUNITY Theme Creator files, within: My Theme Projects\TestTheme\BigBox Media Overrides\Videos\Platforms If they are Playlist or Category videos, you should be able to add those folders as well (eg. BigBox Media Overrides\Videos\Playlists)

Thanks for doing some investigation. I was able to reproduce this. We'll definitely look to see what we can improve there.
