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

Beta 2 is now live with the following changes: Improvement - ScummVM has been upgraded to version 2.2.0 and updated the ScummVM game drop down list to include the new titles it now supports Improvement - NavigationDirection binding was moved from FlowControl to the actual Game/Platform view to allow more views to use it Improvement - Adjusted Big Box FlowControl rendering to help with visual artifacts and performance on lower end machines Improvement - Added a "IsNotEmpty" playlist field to Auto-Populate playlist Fixed - Auto-Populate fields "Doesn't Contain" and "Has At Least One of" should now function as intended (introduced in 11.13 beta 1) Fixed - Can now Download Platform Videos from EmuMovies again (introduced in 11.11) Fixed - In Big Box when platforms would play fallback game videos, it would only use VideoSnaps, it now respects your Video Type Priority settings Fixed - Playlists wouldn't always fallback to images of games inside of the playlist Fixed - Adding logic to help with the EmuMovies 404 error while downloading media

Hi @rmetzger. If I'm understanding what you are looking for, then in LaunchBox you need to right click one of your playlists (like Ball and Paddle games) and choose Edit. A window will open with an image area. You will need to add either a Banner or Device image for something to appear on the marquee. These types of images are not automatically provided.

I started using a utility called x360ce recently. Might be worth checking out. My use case was different than yours, I wanted to have many different types of controllers all register as player 1, and have all the buttons on each controller reampped to work in the same way (like an xbox controller). It worked out pretty well.

I've been playing around with x360ce. I haven't used it enough to know whether it will be good for your use case, but may be worth checking out.

Every theme, including the one you downloaded will have multiple different "Views" for both platform (main wheel) and games (game wheel). To cycle through the different views you can: Go into Options > Views, you will find "Platforms List View" and "Games List View". Go to Options > Keyboard Mappings (or Controller Mappings), find the "Switch View" mapping and map it to a key. Then go to either your Platform view or Games view and click that key, which will cycle through your options.

if I'm interpreting your question correctly, I think there's a few different ways you can go about this. Here are a couple: When importing your games, LaunchBox will ask if you would like to automatically create certain playlists that will categorize your games just the way you are suggesting. You can manually create playlists that will auto-populate based on a set of criteria you choose. You would Right click your Arcade platform and choose Add > Playlist. Provide any details you would like, then click on the Auto-Populate tab and put in as many filters in there that give you the desired outcome. You can try either of these out, and other may have different suggestions as well.

@Chris - Are you able to upgrade to the latest beta and see if this solves the issue for you?

I don't have any history with that system, but thought I'd write out some ideas of what you might be seeing. LaunchBox also will try not to import duplicate games. LaunchBox does try and combine roms it thinks is the same game but different version. You can change those settings during the import process. You can see if either of those help.

Hi @Random420. Have you checked your pause screen settings for PCSX2? Potentially something isn't right in there. If it helps, here is what my window looks like:
