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.

Hi @Juketsu. Thought you should know. I tried to recreate the issue but am not seeing it happen on my different builds. Not sure what your solution could be, could be something particular with your machine. Not sure if it will help, but do you have any log files from when this happens?

The CTC doesn't yet have the new FlowVideo control, so by building it with the CTC you'll be using the old video control which does have problems when running in the marquee view. You could get around this limitation by adding a User Source element and copy and paste the FlowVideo code into that.

See what happens if you delete: GameMarqueeView.xaml From this folder: LaunchBox\Themes\CoinOP\Views

Hi @songoku252. At the bottom of that list you will see a blank row where you can add Arcade.

Few things that may cause this type of issue: If you run LaunchBox off of an external drive, network drive, or any drive that is not formatted to NTFS or a comparable file system that is able to handle symlinks. You don't own and/or have full permissions of the LaunchBox folder - You can check this by right clicking LaunchBox, choosing Properties, In the Security tab choose Advanced. Running LaunchBox or Big Box as admin - elevated privileges (make sure you don't do this) Hard drive data corruption could also cause this behavior - Open cmd (as an admin) and run an sfc /scannow command

Yup, you can make them show up in the main platform wheel by right clicking the Playlist, choose Edit. Then in the Details tab, check off "Include this Playlist with Platforms" You can also click on the Parents tab and add them to any of your Platform Categories hierarchy as well.

If you want to have the same game listed in 2 separate platforms, then importing twice would be the way to go as long as you make sure you check off "force import duplicate game". However, based on what you seem to be trying to do, it would probably make more sense to have a Gun Games playlist that you assign all your gun games to, no matter which platform they were made for.

Hi @Gef. I don't believe there's a way to trigger background music only when Attract Mode is running. However, you can have background music playing on a per-platform/playlist basis by placing music files within your LaunchBox\Music\Background folder If you'd like to make a feature request, click on the Help & Support link at the top and choose Request a Feature (Don't forget to vote for your own request).

Make sure you select all your games, run the Download Metadata and Media wizard, and choose the recommend option "Yes, but do not replace any existing fields or media"

Can you check whether the pause screen is showing up behind your other screens? You can check this if you initiate the pause screen and then alt-tab to check whether it's one of the tabs. On another note, you could try and check the option "Forceful pause screen Activation (enable this if the pause screen is not showing)", which can be found in LaunchBox, Tools > Manage Emulators > [edit the emulator you are having issues with] > Pause Screen

Hi @Rob_G. The sorting of the Platform Category in both LaunchBox and BigBox should be identical, both being alphabetical by default. I do know that you can change the sorting in LaunchBox by inputting a Sort Title name into either a platform or playlist, but it doesn't sound like that's what's going on here. WIthin Big Box are you seeing this behavior when browsing through your Platform Categories filter? and which theme are you using?

That's really awesome @Huntsmiester. Thanks for sharing.
