What version is your roms? Just tested Ball and it works fine. I am on .223 still.

Except that it does. You have something wrong then. Do your GW roms work in Mame directly.

It does not require any special command line. It runs like any normal Mame rom.

Maybe since they were hacked a while ago they have not put it pack in for download. I think I saw recently even Mame is still missing. They have the other Mame versions.

@DeadVoivod I removed the link you posted. Since the Emuline site contains hosted roms we do not allow linking to sites with roms. You can mention the site, but not post an actual link.

The Game & Watch roms are included in a full mame romset. The roms all begin with gnw_ (gnw_dkong, gnw_ball, etc.)

Its a false positive. You can ignore it. There have been several posts on it.

BigBox themes rarely come with game play or platform videos. User needs to download those. Looking at the theme most of the custom platform views are when using Wheel Games View 3. So in BigBox go to either keyboard mapping or controller mapping setting and map either a key or a button to the option for "Change View" in BigBox keyboard or controller mapping settings then when in the theme you can hit that button/key and change view on the fly to the one you want.

What theme is it? The theme is supposed to look like the pics you saw look like. So not sure what you mean by this. Have you set up for NES emulator in LaunchBox, added your games, and downloaded your media? Once you do all that BigBox is pretty much good to go. Just select a theme if you do not want to use the default one. You have to set-up all your emulation things in LaunchBox first for BigBox to be able to launch any games. Not sure which tutorials you watched as there are many. Usually the ones from LaunchBox (Unbroken Software Youtube) are best to use. Although I do not think there has been a recent one for setting up NES, but the process how not changed much.

Thanks @Grila I know many users would agree with that. I was simply posting information for users to see since most may not be aware of it. Also my other focus was to move non-beta topics out of the beta thread and into a thread more appropriate for the concern. Use the thread I linked so we can keep the Mame file concern in that thread. Since Jason has responded there before it keeps all your requests and input in one spot for him. Thanks.

Feature requests should be made using the feature request link located at the top of the forum under Help & Support. Post a feature request there, make sure you vote for your own request and then I recommend posting a link to that ticket back in this thread to help drive users to see it and possibly vote for it.

Here is a quote from Jason taken from this thread. Figure I would post it so you can see the process Jason takes as it pertains to the Mame file LB reads. Jason is not simply using the Mame data alone. My recommendation if you have further responses related to this topic please post there since it is not a beta related issue/concern.

Not as a standard option in LB. If you are taking about the badge icons that appear by the box images in Lb I believe there is a plugin that allows you to create your own icon badges. Edited: Here is a link to it.

What theme? Try changing the view. Easiest way is in BigBox key mapping or controller mapping bind a key/button to the command for “Change View”. Then when in the theme you can hit that key/button and change the view on the fly.

Not that has been mentioned.

You should not need to bulk edit anything to do this. All you need to do is add the new emulator in LaunchBox under >Tools>Manage Emulators. Set up the emulator, call it what you want and make sure the platform name is listed in the Associated Platforms tab and once you save it the emulator is available to all games in the platform. When you right click any game in that platform and choose "Launch With" you now see the other emulator as an option. There was never a need to do anything per game. That is also why LB has a button in the Associated Platforms tab to set an emulator as "Default" because it was designed to allow more than one emulator to work with a platform.

Should be possible, but would likely need a plugin as I do not believe BigBox can do this in it's current state. I believe there is a plugin that might help with this. You would have to check the 3rd party plugin sub-forums for it. All requests for feature updates should always be done via the "Help & Support" link above the forum and choosing the "Request a Feature" option. If you are using the Theme Creator I would definitely see if this is something Y2Guru could implement as well.

BigBox themes do not work in LB. Two separate theming types. I know you said you downloaded and wen to put them in there but there were already there. I would still download and drop them in there, after all the steps on the theme say to do that to override what is already in there. I would then refresh your image cache in BigBox settings just to be sure. If you still have issue it is always best to post in the actual theme's support thread that way the creator sees it and can offer help.

You do not need both. The vk07 one is used for the Xbox guide button. Also, it is recommend not to use Process, Close. It messes with emulators saving on exit since it is a hard close. Recommend using the one below. $Esc:: { WinClose, ahk_exe {{{StartupEXE}}} }

Well shoot I missed that part in your first post. If LB works and BB is not, in the past the issue was antivirus quarantined BigBox.dll. Do you have Windows virus protection running also? If so check if that blocked the dll as well.

@mainery I removed all the links in your post. Several either contained roms or links to rom sites. I was not about to go through everyone and confirm they did not contain either so I removed them all. Please refrain from linking to sites that contain roms, bios files, and other proprietary game files per forum rules. Unfortunately I cannot answer your Dosbox question as I do not mess with Dosbox games.

Cannot get it to work with what? Launchbox, Bigbox, emulators, work at all on the pc? Many of us use 8bitdo controllers without issue. They work in LB/BB in either x-input or dinpu, but x-input is easiest. So they do work.

Is it only from the tools menu this happens? Can you launch from the BigBox.exe?

Do your games work directly in the emulator without using Launchbox?

Do either of you have MSI Afterburner (or Riva Tuner) running? In the past we have seen good old MSI Afterburner causing conflict with d3d9.dll and cause LB boot issues. If that is not it check and see if you have Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 installed. I had that issue on a recent build on a used pc.
