Remove "start theme preview" menu selection version 11.7
Retro808 replied to Surfdeign's topic in Troubleshooting
There is not. It has been requested as a feature upgrade on our bitbucket site. -
If your going to get a new set I would just recommend getting the latest Mame set or at least one of the more current ones.

Not on our forum you will not. There are people who have done builds like this but there are roms included as well. You are not really going to find a BB build that you just add your roms and bios then have it just work. Emulators still would need to be tweaked to your set-up, controllers mapped based on your set-up. There could be numerous things depending on platform/emulator that would need adjusting. Even those full prebuilds with roms still require you to tweak things here and there and then when things break, if you do not know how it is all set-up, it makes troubleshooting a pain. We typically do not troubleshooting prebuild LB/BB set-ups because of this. The best thing we can recommend is the user set things up. We are always willing to guide and troubleshoot when users go this route. Some system can be a pain, but we have a good number of tutorials and members here that will typically help out.

Yeah this is not something we typically do, troubleshoot prebuilt set-ups or purchased drive builds. Where is the drive build from? You may need to contact that person. Trying to troubleshoot something the user has no idea how it was set up, what rom set is being used, or any of the other intricacies makes it a lot harder to work through. Quick guess would be bad rom or outdated rom with different version emulator. Just checked that game and both revision work fine in my set-up using .223 Mame roms with .223 Mame emulator.

I will tag @C-Beats to see if he can provide any tips.

BigBox Graphical Glitching v11.3-11.6 *Solved - Page 3*
Retro808 replied to neosean99's topic in Troubleshooting
There was no need to add another post about the issue. Please try to keep from posting the same issue in multiple threads. -
Do you get any graphical glitches in other themes?
-
In order to refine it anymore you would need to use a theme that has that area condensed (like the one Neil is using) or try to edit the code on your own. Not much can really be done. The more you have eventually the list has to scroll.
-
In LB tools under the Themes section there is a Fonts option. It is the Side Bar Font you want to adjust. It may not make a huge difference though. I had to customize a theme to get the look I wanted.

@quincy2686 Did you take a look at the link Neil posted and see if that might help with your issue?

Second Monitor for game info and art?
Retro808 replied to ChaosChaos's topic in Big Box Custom Themes
Videos can be made to work but the performance in BigBox with everything else going on is not the best. It takes a plugin to get it working good, so it will maybe something the team adds when they are able to get marquee support updated. Personally I got rid of video marquees as it was just to much going on. -
You have to map it directly in each emulator. The mapping options in BigBox are only for moving around in BigBox.

Second Monitor for game info and art?
Retro808 replied to ChaosChaos's topic in Big Box Custom Themes
I did not keep a copy when I sent him the file. What kind of layout are you looking for exactly? -
Check to see if LB moved it to the Default image folder in your \Launchbox\Platforms\[Platform name] folder. I am not sure if it is supposed to do that, but that might be what is happening.
-
If you are using a 32bit version OS LB no longer supports 32bit. You can email support@unbrokensoftware.com and advise you would need a 32bit version. Unfortunately it will be an older version. I believe it will be a version prior to 11.6 or 11.5.
-
When you renamed the Games did you rename the images first? If you have all the images for both games in the arcade image folder and then you renamed the games LB will then rename the image files. Which means it will change any image named after the same name both games had. So it is best to rename the image files first then rename the game when you have two games of the exact same name in LB.
-
What version LB are you on? Odd that it is pulling that data into the title. Is the actual rom file named like that? Maybe it could be an issue with the translated version of LB.
-
If you are importing Mame rom files you do not need to check the Force using Mame meta box since you are still using Mame through RA. Also, the Mame Full Set import option should only be run with the most recent set of Mame roms (I am actually not sure what version our Mame.xml file is on right now) as that importer is checking them against latest Mame.xml for known working roms. Since you are using such an old set of Mame roms you may get some incorrect inclusions or exclusions as roms might have changed names or had updated dumps since your set.

Not sure on that. The AlignmentX and Y he used I have no experience with. The theme looks to be painting the video as the background. Usually you align an image or video with HorizontalAlignment and VerticalAlignment but that would not work for a visual brush. It might be best to post in his support thread. Viking's pretty good about responding and helping. Viking is doing a little more that just calling the video. There is also some animation and he is using a plugin as well.

Retro808 replied to ChaosChaos's topic in Big Box Custom Themes
There is not one. But it can be done. You would need to edit the GameMarqueeView.xaml. If a theme does not have that view you can copy the one in the Default theme and put it in the theme you want and edit it. Here is an example of one I made for a friends cabinet. Uses static marquee background in the top marquee image per platform and the game clear logo changes. Shows platform default or game specific control maps and then game notes. He uses a 16:9 screen on top of his cab for a marquee display to be able to show more details, but you could easily do something with a stretched/cut led screen size. -
Ah. OK. He must have updated the code since I last messed with that theme and looked at it. However, I do not think it is as simple as changing a color code. He constrained the video to start in column 7. That grid stops at the column adjacent to where the video starts.

You have a typo with transparent. You spelled it “trasnparent”. Try correcting that. Are you editing the right line of code though? If I remember that section he used a rectangle call to make that area if the screen the dark grey. Not a grid. Something like below I believe < Rectangle Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="7” ........... and so on ..... />

It been long recommended to no longer use Process, Close as it is a hard close script. The script below if better to use. I know by default LB puts the Process, Close script in a few emulators and I have asked Jason if we can update LB with the better code. ; This section closes emulator when pressing Escape $Esc:: { WinClose, ahk_exe {{{StartupEXE}}} }

Like Neil said you will need to change that Game List View. If the Remember Separate View box was checked and you had to uncheck it you will need to then cycle through the Game View list to get it to change all the platforms. So even though the view might have shown the one you want you would still need to cycle through it to reset all the platforms not on the correct view.
