Love that darker high contrast pallete Jegeroel! Looks great!!

I was just curious, I LOVEEEEE what you got but some times easy tweaks for personal preference/taste make it all the more sweeter Didn't mean no disrespect I love the red, its awesome! Just figured I would ask if it was something simple to fix on the user end after downloading the theme!

I'm so excited for the competition of this theme. It's incredible curious, as I ever dabbled in any of this. If we downloaded your theme when it's complete is it possible to edit stuff? For example the colors instead of red or different font etc? Obviously for personal use only

Well I tried again and it worked fine, so not sure what that was all about. So disregard

Probably better off asking this somewhere else so if so feel free to redirect me... but just opened up BB and there is an update, hit ok to download, got an error. SO I closed and opened LB to try, hit ok to install the update and same result, it failed. The error I get is "Unable to download update: An exception occurred during a web client request." Anyone know what that exactly means and how to fix it?

Thanks Brad! That works like a charm!

If I brought in a game and it doesn't look to have found any box art or anything of the such... how do I re scrape just that game and not every game? I think it was an error in the title of the game so I fixed it and want to see if it will pull in all the data now. EDIT: Or is there a way to look through the database to see what exists that may be a closest match? So if I didnt know what was wrong with the title I could browse and find the correct one. EDIT AGAIN, FIGURED IT OUT SO NEVERMIND

Thanks man I appreciate it! That should help out! I like a clean minimalistic look

What makes GluPeN64 better than Mupen64? Just curious.

Thanks guys! I appreciate it! Going to ask another quick question. I wanted to know that because I am going to reimport my library and delete all the PAL, JAP, EU, etc images for my games so they only have the NA images. However when I imported before I turned off all the "fan art" I didn't want all of that in the background on Launch box. However in Big Box when using themes that have screen shots and videos I will need to make sure I download that stuff when I import right? I just did not like all those images showing up on the background in the standard Launch Box. Also for videos if they are used in the theme I downloaded do I have to pay for an account on emu movies or whatever it was called that they pull from?

Holy smokes I love this. Clean, simplistic and very well made! I am going to be keeping an eye on this thread no doubt!

In Launch Box if I highlight say all my SNES games and delete them does it automatically delete all the downloaded images associated? So like fan art, box art, cart/cd art etc? Or do I have to go into where it stores that and delete the folders? I am re-doing something and want to start fresh with that as well. Curious the easiest way to achieve this? Pretty much want to delete everything associated with the roms/games EXCEPT my saves.

I did a new nightly build, copied only my saved games folder. So pretty much started from scratch. Everything seems to be working correctly again with my bluetooth controllers. So weird. That is seriously my only gripe with RA is the shoddy connections and configurations with controllers and such (at least wirelessly). But yes just copied my saves and did the new install. Hopefully it doesn't wig out on me again after time I really appreciate your help as always kind sir!

Thats whats odd... thats what I did when I started setting this all up. Got everything pretty much working no issues. Now my controllers wont work. They are connected blue tooth but they worked before... then boom just stopped. I have went to where you said and made sure everything is set like it should be but no luck. If I did a new install can I copy all my saves and such? And just attempt to re-do all the core specific configs I had saved? EDIT: I just deleted a config and started to re-do it looks like that fixed it.

^^^ Anyone have any suggestions... sucks not being able to play lately

Ugh the frustration continues... now none of my controllers will work on RetroArch. Not even for single player. The d-pad works but the face buttons to select and go back in the RA menu or any buttons to play a game just don't work... I don't get it. So frustrating as LaunchBox is so awesome and fun... no idea what to do. tried several things such as deleting the bluetooth connection, re-connecting, tried wired controls. I tried deleting the default config file and "restarting" RA and setting it up and no avail. I just don't get why this is acting up so disappointing.

Wow I never heard of this thing.... pretty cool. I am a sucker for tech and always buy stuff on impulse. Must...resist!

Well I finally had my brother in law and sister with me to play some retro gaming. They were super impressed with launchbox and big box specifically. We wanted to play 3 player Mario party and some old school streets of rage. What a show... retroarch is SO bad none of my controllers ended up working. Wired or blue tooth. I fiddled with it for an hour. I had everything working previously on single player with very minor errors. Now today when I want to show others nothing worked. I got frustrated and decided to turn my MacBook Pro laptop on and use OpenEmu... paired three Bluetooth controllers and all configured automatically and just worked in less than 5 minutes. HDMI to the tv and bang we were all gaming. It's amazing how simple it was. Now I really am starting to become a fan of RA but there whole input section and in anything to do with controllers just flat out sucks. It's beyond awful. They really need to fix that. Sorry for the rant, as it probably doesn't belong here but just goes to show I'm still having issues with controllers. OpenEmu's controller settings are Just really easy and good. Wish RA could follow.

Haha sorry if that was confusing... for example I have a BUNCH of Genesis roms and they are in both the USA and Europe... aka Genesis and Mega Drive... I didnt want any of the Mega Drive info to download, just the genesis. Sometimes on its own it changes the box art on me on its own, and when I scroll through and look I'd rather just seen the Genesis stuff... not a HUGE deal but an OCD rather So if there was an option/feature to only download Genesis stuff I guess that's what I am asking lol

Thanks Brad! I found it, looks like its just the size, font and position I believe. Nothing with color, darn! When uploading Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games is there a way when the games upload and the data populates to ONLY include Genesis and no MD stuff? I know you can set priority but if I don't want it to even download anything MD related is that possible without manually going back through and deleting everything on my own?

Well things have been pretty smooth. I want to adjust some things on the big box theme and get the controllers sorted out a little better, but been playing SNES and NES lately.. so awesome. Leads me to my next question. I am playing on the nightly build for RetroArch and using my RetroAchivements account. Is there a way to change the color of the achievement text and possibly the size? its pretty small and its yellow, hard to read at times

Nice!!!!! This is legit. I have downloaded a few BB themes since I been here (wish is honestly less than 2 weeks). I'm going to add yours to the collection. Some day I would like to learn how to do this and make my own. Maybe one day Anyways, great job!

Awesome thanks Brad... it worked. Whats weird is I did this myself (so I thought) and it didnt work, but now it does so thank you sir!

Speaking of controllers and such in BigBox I went to controller automation (I think thats what its called, away from home pc with BB at the moment..) and I set exit to be start & select.. that does not exit my rom when I playing them. Am I misunderstanding something here?

This controller situation still remains a nightmare... might have to head over to their forums when they are back up. I have each controller loaded that I want with each core but it keeps automatically picking up new controllers and assigning them to new binds causing issues for the other controllers previously assigned. If it remains like this I don't see how I will ever get away from mouse and keyboard as I have to keep using that to correct this
