Potential things you can try: Try to change your video engine - Tools > Options > Video Playback Check to see if you have nahimic installed - if you do, uninstall it and disable its service (program is linked to many visual bugs and is not needed) If it's happening with the exact same video, each time, it's possible the video has some errors and may be a good idea to change it for a better one

Depending on how you have everything imported and set up in LaunchBox, you should be able to move everything to the locations you want them to be. Then in LaunchBox you would have to change the locations of both your emulators application paths and change your ROMs folder path. Emulators application path - go into Tools > Manage Emulators - edit each emulator's application path to their new locations ROMs folder path - Within a platform, select all games and go into Tools > (File Management) > Change ROMs Folder Path for Selected Games - do this for all your platforms You also want to check that after you move your emulators to the new location that they all still work outside of LaunchBox. Most move gracefully, while some do not, and may need configuration adjustment.

If you delete the forum one and download it from inside Big Box, are you still missing the images?

Hi @scottyboy77. Did you install the theme through Big Box or via the forums?

This is actually the intended way BannerBox works. It will crop images that are too long, instead of bleeding them into the bottom portion of the banner, which contains the clear logo and other information. Nintendo Switch is definitely one of the systems that have long boxes where you will see this happening (other notable ones are 3DO Interactive Multiplayer, Sega CD, and Sony PSP). You could make it so the images stretch to uniform, however, that would end up showing blank spaces on either side of the box. It does require some code changes to make happen though, and it's possible that it may affect other systems that get close to that cutoff point.

Once you add RetroArch back, you'll have to reassociate your games to the new RetroArch emulator. You can do this using the bulk edit wizard.

Hey @Bedwyr. If you use RetroArch, you could point RetroArch's save folders to a spot on your OneDrive, on both your machines. In RetroArch it's under: Settings > Directory Change Save Files and Save States to a spot on your OneDrive folder. Do this for both your computers and you should be good to go.

Beta 4 has been released with the following: Fixed: RetroArch was sometimes failing to download for some users (thanks to @Hifihedgehog for pointing the way) For anyone that was having download issues, please let us know if you are still experiencing them with this release.

Hi @WillGr78. Which Neo Geo games are you trying to run?

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.
