The cores are downloaded from libretro's buildbot stable release section. They unfortunately only offer one archive with all the cores inside. However, that archive is only 167MB large.

Hi @bran479. Is it possible that you have Version enabled, under View > Show / Hide > Versions ? When this option is enabled it adds whatever is in your Versions field into the title.

@Retro808 is correct. At some point the image binding must have changed, as the SelectedGame.MarqueeImagePath binding has never worked on a platform view before. By default, it should be: SelectedPlatform.BannerImagePath But really, you can punch in any platform specific image binding there, and it will show, as long as you have an image for it.

That's an interesting issue I've never seen before. You can look into the WallGamesView.xaml code for VisibleCount="22" and raise this up to something larger. See if that helps. Also, around the same place, you'll see a Columns and Rows property that you can play around with. Then, you'll need to probably adjust the position of the camera once you settle on a number, which can be done in this part of the code: <OrthographicCamera Position="-0.25,0,5" Basically, your x,y,z coordinates.

Just to clarify in this thread: We are aware of the slowdowns with EmuMovies. We have confirmed that it's not version related or a LaunchBox bug. Wanted to make that clear so users don't waste time downgrading LB only to still see the same issue. EmuMovies has confirmed that they are working on upgrading their servers. However, we will do all we can to help and we are implementing a few changes that can mitigate long load-time annoyances in the future.

For now, removing the your EmuMovies credentials will remove the load times to their server.

LaunchBox doesn't actually have a way to make RetroArch download, or update, without requiring some kind of action. Either through agreeing to it during an import, or manually selecting the Update RetroArch option in the menu.

If I had to make an educated guess, this would definitely be related to your Windows text scaling options. I haven't checked, but the new version of Neon Deluxe Arcade was created in the COMMUNITY Theme Creator which has plugins to make sure things are positioned properly and text sizes are adaptive. Are you using an older version of this theme maybe?

This appears in its own tab at the bottom of the game details, when available.

For the fastest loading time, make sure you don't have too many elements in your views, and it's always best not to use any GIF images, they really slow down loading times. You can also try some tricks, like putting a black rectangle over everything and getting it to animate away using the immediate trigger, after a second.

Hard to say what's going on there. You able to provide your creator files, or post a pic of all your elements? Btw, if your screen is 5:4, I'd recommend you set the aspect ratio to Stretch in the end. That way it will fill up your screen properly. Although it does make it harder when building the theme if you are not building it on your 5:4 monitor.

After doing some tests, I was not able to recreate what you are seeing here. I recreated your scenario, but am seeing it pick Yuzu when I try to add a manual game while on the Nintendo Switch platform.

When you are adding a game manually, do you mean that you choose the "Manually Add Game" option?

While nothing has changed with this tool in a while, there is some configuration steps involved to make it work. If you edit a platform, and go to the Folders tab, you'll need to make sure to point the Game folder to the path where you ROMs exist.

You always have the option to run an update manually overtop your current install, although you should not do this while LaunchBox is open. I'm wondering, if you can restart LaunchBox, are you still seeing issues?

This is something I've never heard of before. Although, I've never ran my entire setup on an unraid server. The fact that all your LaunchBox files were missing makes me feel it's some kind of outside process that happened, but unsure of what that could be. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but glad you had a backup and can keep gaming.

Hi @Gashers, It's possible you are just seeing the clear logo in Big Box. In LaunchBox, right click and edit either Epic or Steam and check the images associated with it.

Hi @mp3deej. This sounds like you've somehow imported your video files as ROMs. To check this, edit one of the affected games and see what's in your ROM File field, located in the "Launching" section.

Hi @CaptPete. You can achieve this by using the Platform Categories filter. In LaunchBox, use the filter dropdown and make sure you are on Platform Categories. Then, right click an item in your list on the left side, choose Add > Category. Categories can contain metadata and media which will be used in Big Box when navigating through your Platform Categories filter. Use the Parents tab to position where you want it shown in your hierarchy. Then you can right click > Edit any of your platforms, go to their Parents Tab and position them where you want.

Here you go. The POC - babynebbia edition - 1.3.zip

Go to the system menu, scroll down until you see View Playlists. In LaunchBox, you can also add Playlists to the Platform or Platform Categories filter, which will then get reflected in Big Box.

While it's not happening on my builds, there are others that seem to be running into similar issues. I would make a post here:

I think you are right in that you already know the answer to this. Unfortunately, LaunchBox cannot get granular in this way, and does treat each game with the same name, for the same platform, as different versions of the same game.
