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.

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.

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 ..... />

Good to hear you are all sorted now.

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.

Yeah it is easy enough to change the emulator path. Just do it in the >Tools>Manage Emulators and edit for each on affected. Where it can be a pain is if you are changing media path locations outside of the LB folder structure. Most do not mess with that, but just a heads up if you choose to.

Can you post a pic of the Views settings page from your BigBox. Like the image below.

All themes allow for marquee support. What can be shown is limited to how the marquee view is coded in the theme you are using as well as BigBox’s capabilities. So you would need to code a view yourself or see if someone can do one for you. Right now marquees can show additional images such as custom control map images, but things like high scores would require a user created plug-in.

I would not worry about it. We are used to seeing it with translations so it is not a big deal. I asked about the version to make sure you are not on the beta since there is a new Theme Specific feature and I wanted to make sure you were not using that. Since you are on 11.6 it is not a feature.

Keep in mind that is Rom path related only. If you are changing paths for emulators or media it is a more manual process.

I was asking exactly what you provided in your answer. The Startup they are talking about is not the Teknoparrot windows you see. It is the LB Startup theme option (like the themes you see here). Kemakokos post stated "Startup up screen" not "pop up windows". Two different beasts. So following the steps I gave on turning them off has nothing to do with those TP screens (like the ones below). What happens if you run the game directly in TP and not using LaunchBox? If you get this issue without Launching the game through LB then it is either a game dump or driver issue maybe. It would not a LB issue.

Can you show an image of what you mean by "startup windows pop up"? Are you talking about the Teknoparrot windows (the cmd window and the their game loading window) or the actual LB/BB Startups theme? The post in this thread is about the LB/BB startups, not the Tekno windows that pop-up when each game starts to load.

That is because as you have been told a couple times now you need to change the view. #1. If you uncheck to box to allow different view per platform you then need to make sure you select the theme you want and then in the menu with the view names listed change the view type for the Games View option. (All themes have multiple views. One of them is a required Text List view which is the one you are seeing without the clear logos. You need to change the view away from Text List) #2. If you check the box for different views per platform you then need to map and key or button in your BigBox keyboard or controller mapping for the option for "View Change" then go into the platforms that have the wrong view and hit that key or button until you get to the view you want. The them works perfectly fine. I think you are just misunderstanding what we are telling you to do. What version Launchbox are you using?

It should run fine with LB/BB Startup screen. Just double checked and no issues with Luigi's Mansion Arcade and the startup screen. So it could be a setting in your Teknparrot, a driver issue, or the game file. If you need to turn it off though you can do it on a per game basis or turn it off for Teknoparrot as a whole. To do it on per game just right click the game and edit. Then in the Startup/Pause section (last item in the edit window) click the box to apply Override Default Startup Screen settings and click customize. Make sure the "Enable Startup Screen" box is unchecked and save the setting.

You likely have those platform set to a different view. BigBox has a setting that allows you to "Remember Separate View for each platform". In the "Views" section in your settings see if you have that checked. If you do have that checked uncheck it and you can make sure all platforms keep the same view. If you do this you need to make sure you change the settings to the view you want. Or keep it checked and set a button or key in your BigBox mapping for "Change View" and then you can change view while in a theme by using the button or key if you want.
