  1. Steam doesn't work for me, whenever Steam's "Launching Game" window appears, the fade goes away  and sends you back to the frontend once that pesky window disappears. Then the game launches after a while.

    By the way, I started experimenting with the startup themes and ended up making one for myself, It's in the download section in case anyone wants to check it out. 

  2. Big Logo - Startup Theme

    View File

    A simple startup and shutdown screen theme revolved around clear logos and fanart artwork, with a big progress bar on the bottom.

    (You need LaunchBox version 9.2 beta or newer for this theme to work).


    How to install and setup:

    - Download the zip file of the theme and extract it to LaunchBox's root folder.

    - Open LaunchBox, go to Tools -->  Options, Click on the Game Startup tab on the left, then change the Startup Theme to Big Logo.


    Any feedback is much appreciated. Enjoy!


     

  3. Images used by the startup screen are locked forever until you close LaunchBox, if you try to delete them via LaunchBox or Explorer you'll get an error saying files are still being used by LaunchBox and cannot be deleted.

  4. I've been using RocketLauncher since it was named Hyperlaunch, was part of HyperSpin and never bothered with the pause menu.

    I still have it on my HyperSpin build and also in LaunchBox but I stay out of it  as much as I can when I'm using the latter. Not worth it for mostly a 1 second fade in and out. I only use it with a few big 7z iso games because I like to see the progress bar when extracting (LaunchBox just shows a loading game screen the whole time).

    I still keep it anyway since it's already set up and took me hundred of hours to make it work perfectly.

  5. LaunchBox already uses generic images for some image types, if you select image group and choose backgrounds and a game doesn't have a fanart - background image, it will display a background image located in the platfrom folder. Shouldn't be too complicated to mimic this behavior for other image types.

     I don't know how to even navigate to the mame folder through the command line, lol. I tried the shortcut methodology, but this is what I see after "properties" :

     

    where do I add the "sapce" -cc ?

     

    Miffed.

    You need to make a shortcut of the MAME executable (mame.exe or mame64,exe). You created a shortcut of the containing folder.

    BTW, you can easily open the command line interface by navigating to the MAME folder in Windows Explorer, then in the address bar just type CMD and press enter. (you can enter "mame.exe -cc"  or "mame64.exe -cc" to create the ini files).

  7. How come the new generic playlists only contain arcade games? You would expect that a playlist in LaunchBox titled "2-Players Games" would include all multiplayer games, not just for one platform. If they're only for Arcade, they should be named "2-players Arcade games", don't they?

    Has anyone had any luck with exiting from games with the escape key? I'm playing Dragon's Crown and escape only goes into windowed mode. I'm not sure I totally get how to exit back to Launchbox. 

    Good news, that can be easily fixed. You just need to edit the emulator settings in Launchbox to add a simple script that closes everything but the frontend when you press escape.  To do this, open LaunchBox and go to Menu -> Tools -> Manage Emulators -> RPCS3 (Or whatever you named your emulator). In the AutoHotkey tab paste or add the following:

    ; This section closes RPCS3 when pressing Escape
    $Esc::
    {
    	Process, Close, {{{StartupEXE}}}
    }

    This works too with other emulators that have the same issue and when using controller automation.

     

  9. I only have 720 MAME games (all killer no filler), would I get any benefit by deleting and re adding them?

    I've noticed that when you batch update your games' metadata, if a game gets its name changed, Its images don't get the new name, making the game end up without images event though the images are sitting there, but with the old name.

    You fixed it! 

    How did you get to that game Id?

    It's in the properties of the desktop shortcut. If you don't have one you can create it by right clicking the game on Steam and selecting "Create Desktop Shortcut".
