If the name of your images or videos are the same as the name of your ROM, LaunchBox will accept it, if placed in the appropriate folders.

Sorry to hear about your issues. There are definitely more fixes on the way for the 404 timeout issues with emumovies media downloads. To get you back on track, try a media import only using the LaunchBox DB and uncheck the "remove roughly matched duplicates" option.

You'll find them in: \LaunchBox\Images Choose your platform and then image type, then you'l see your images.

This might be caused by a conflict with the startup/shutdown screens. Can you go to Tools > Manage Emulators. Edit the emulator causing you issues. Go into the Startup Screen tab, and uncheck the game startup screens and game shutdown screens. See if you can see the game again.

I'm curious to know whether those images looks fine if you open them up outside of LaunchBox.

Hi @kal9000. Other than removing the design that you least prefer from the folder structure, this is not currently possible. There is a bitbucket request open if you wish to vote for it: https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/6121/images-should-be-shown-in-order

It should be named the way you have it named within your LaunchBox library (changing illegal characters to underscores_). You should also add numbers to the end: Arkanoid II-01. But one way you can get used to adding images is just through the game's edit window in LaunchBox. Go into Media > Images, click Add Image. Then once it's added make sure you assign it the correct tag.

Yes, this isn't actually a POC thing, but a limitation of the wall view's current limitation. It's on a long list of items to rectify ?

Just posted version 1.3. See if that version solves the errors you were seeing.

hmm, a possibility. @Procyon, which version of LaunchBox are you running? I'll check out the forum build and see what's going on with it. Thanks @neil9000

Are you able to also confirm that the dll files are unblocked? Right click them and check for the same thing in the properties. You may need to do this one plugin at a time.

It's called: Switch to Desktop Mode Tbh, there's probably a better way to do this. When I was trying to do the same thing, what I did was go into LaunchBox Options and change the Media > Screenshot Priorities to show "Arcade - Marquee" (put it at the top of the list). Then, I switched the image group to Screenshots. That allowed me to see all games with a marquee so I can easily fill in the gaps.

If I had to make a quick guess. Your computer may be blocking the plugins that the theme requires to work. You can try and right clicking the theme's zip file and go into Properties and unblock the file. Then try to extract it again. The unblock button should look something like this: https://shorturl.at/mwADI

I don't believe that there's plugin support in the marquee view at this time. I do know that the marquee view is more limited than others.

SMB shares can definitely be hit or miss. Sounds like it could be that LaunchBox is having a tough time reading from that directory, which could be for a number of reasons (file system, permissions, security, drivers...etc). I don't have too much experience with this, but maybe other people in the community have done this already and may have some better feedback for ya.

Hi @SkyHighGam3r. Thanks for the report. It has also been reported over on our bitbucket here: https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/5418/big-box-game-details It's being looked into, any help would be appreciated to track down what exactly is going on. If you have logs enabled and you run into the issue again, posting your logs may help. Also, any information regarding which themes and views you used could help as well. I did notice that if you find yourself in that situation, you could get out of it by pressing your search hotkey button and searching for a game.

Hi @Daniel Andrade. I'm not too familiar with the theme, but if you've cycled through all the available platform views that the author provided and you don't see a horizontal view, then you may be out of luck. The creator of the theme makes those decisions when they create the theme. This doesn't mean you are out of luck, if you knew what you were doing, you could simply modify the code and make that custom view yourself. Alternatively, if this theme doesn't have the platform view you like, just switch to another one. Big Box does have the ability to use different themes for platform and game views.

Check out our documentation.pdf file within the \\LaunchBox\Themes folder. Check the section called: FlowControl (Heavily Updated in 11.10) should explain the new flow control where you have the ability to control all those things. Then make a copy of the Default theme and dive into some of the wall views where you can view the code in action.

Hi @BlockOut. Not fully understanding your question. Maybe you can try and clarify it a bit more for us here.

Hi @Qbertzelious. The wall view within the Community Theme Creator is still a work in progress. After @y2guru gets his next release out in a few weeks, he will look at tackling all the new wall view stuff so that it works as intended. Until then, the only way to create your own wall view views would be within the xaml itself.

Sure. Open up the Wall2GamesView.xaml, and change this line: <DoubleAnimation BeginTime="0:0:4" Duration="0:0:0.5" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" To="0"/> To this: <DoubleAnimation BeginTime="0:0:2" Duration="0:0:0.5" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" To="0"/> That should do it. Let me know if it doesn't.

You can try to clear your Big Box Image Cache, located in Big Box's Options > Image Cache. Try to Refresh All Image and see if that helps you out.

You basically got it with your first 2 sentences. bannerbox 1.2 used custom images that could be created or modded in theme creator, one solid image with the box art and the clear logo on it bannerbox 2.0 doesn’t need the custom images, it pulls the boxart and the clear logo from the images folder and places them in preset spot? On the forums, when you click the download button, there should see both versions that you can download, and you can choose which one you would rather use. Within the Theme Manager in Big Box, I believe there's only 1.2 available at the moment, although I'll probably replace that version for 2.0 in the next few weeks. The only thing you may be confused about, is that if you install 2.0, and go into the theme manager, it won't recognize that version, and will ask you to "update" it, but it's really just trying to "update" to 1.2, so definitely don't do that.

Can you please let us know if you are still experiencing this issue in the latest beta
