Tested both those themes and games for multiple emulators work fine. I will test on a couple other machines to make sure. I know Startups can cause issues with some emulators, but that is Startups as a whole, not a specific theme. This was something Jason mentioned early on with the development of startups and partly why we can turn it off by emulator.

Give this a try.

You mentioned escape key and you had to change your back button. Escape key, do you mean the button you use to exit a game?

So you do have some Mame games that will launch from Launchbox? The ones that do not launch do you get an error?

You might get a faster answer posting on their asking on RL forum. We do have some who use RL with their LaunchBox setup, but those who still use it and actively post on our forum are few. So I would also post on their forum in case an answer here is slow to come.

I know I do not see those screens. You can extend how long the Startup screen displays as well as hide any windows not in Exclusive Fullscreen. Not at the house right now, but I may have those set. Edit the emulator in LB and in the Startup tab you will see a check box to hide windows not in exclusive fullscreen and a slider bar you can adjust for how long startup will be delayed.

Well BB only uses the LB set-up. So not sure why BB would have a different result. All emulation is set up in LB. What do you mean hijacks the screen? So do the games actually load or does it just load up to the TP UI and no game?

I thought this got figured out in the other thread when we looked at Dirty Drivin'? You were using --private= in the games command line option instead of --profile=? What other games are you having issues with? Emulator set up is below. Some guides tell you to put --profile= in the default command line parameter in the LB emulator set-up screen, but it is not needed since in each game edit screen in LB you put --profile and the games profile xaml. So no need to duplicate that command line. Import the game either using the Teknoparrot game profile xml or a blank text document. Then in the edit screen of the game in the Emulation page enter the default command line --profile= with the game profile xaml. Such as --profile=Rambo.xaml

What version LB are you on? If you are on 11.4 that plugin is not working with the latest changes in LB. It needs to be updated by the author of the plugin.

It is not in Retroarch it is in LB. In >Tools>Manage Emulators choose Retroarch and edit it. You will see the check box for the item Neil mentioned. Make sure it is not checked.

In Launchbox tools there are image priorities you can set. So in this case for Box art you can select the Fanart - Box - Front and place it above Box - Front (there are buttons to move each priority up or down the chain) and when a game has a Fanart Box it will display it. If it does not have one it will display Box - Front. The image priorities lets you set fallback items in case an image type is missing and to set which image will show as the priority.

Yes. You can just run the last installer. It will not mess up settings. Just pay attention to the folder it is installing to. Some people do not watch and it ends up installing into a \Launchbox\Launchbox folder. Instead of just \Launchbox.

The latest versions of LB needed some new dependencies (Visual c++ 2015 Redist and .Net Core 3.1.6) stuff installed. So if they did not install right that could be the issue. Have you tried to reinstall 11.4? I take it you did not try the file I posted?

Yeah. I am just curious as the themes work fine on all my set-ups (I am on most current BB version). Nothing looked different in those files. In Redux can you put this file in place of the one you have (just move your PlatformWheel1FiltersView.xaml out of the folder and save it - Do not delete it). Then place this one in there and test. If the same error happens put your original one back. I doubt it will change anything.

So looks like the theme's are having issue with linking to the needed data in the specific view xaml. Can you do me a favor and post the xaml file from the two theme's. 1: Unified Refried post the SystemView.xaml 2: Unified Redux post the PlatformWheel1FiltersView.xaml. Both those themes work for me so I want to test with those files from your download.

It may not be a theme issue directly. The new frame work change did cause some issues as users needed to add new dependencies, but the latest 11.4 installer would have done that. Make sure you have logs option in LB turned on as sometimes that can provide info and if the theme's still do not work make sure to copy the errors / pop-ups screens if you are getting any.

Have you updated that theme in a while? I just saw Cid post that the latest version of this theme does not use that plugin anymore. So I would recommend deleting that version of the theme and updating it.

Updating roms would not affect anything about how Mame is seeing the controller. I do not have a GPD Win so could not offer much help. I know we have users with a version of the GDP and I have not seen any posts about a similar issue. I know you said same issue trying other Mame versions and Retroarch. What about trying a stand alone emulator for like a NES or SNES game. Just to further confirm it is not the emulator(s)?

There were a few that had this issues when 11.4 released. Jason pulled the initial release of it quickly to patch a couple things and then put it back out. I thought the last version Jason released fixed it. At least I know it did for one of the moderators that had the same issue. 11.4 has had some off mix of issues for some users due to a change in the frame work in LB. Have you tried the Default theme and Unified Redux? Recommended Redux since I know that one works and it is one Jason published along with the default.

Is this in LB or BB? If in LB what Image Group view do you have you NES platform set to? At the top right of LB is an "Image Group" option. Make sure it is set to the art you are using. I would also select all the games in the NES platform then Right Click and choose "Refresh All Images"

Does the encoder replicate keystrokes or Xinput game controls. The zero delay I have mimics xinput controls. So if that is what your does you would have to map under the Game Controls mappings in LB/BB.

They would go in the \Launchbox\Videos\Platform Categories folder and would be named exactly as the category is named in your Launchbox.

There is a “Force Import Duplicate” box you can check during import.

@Krakatoa Noticing in the game edit screen you have —private I use —profile Maybe that’s the issue. Other than that my settings match yours

That one works fine for me. How do you have it set up in Launchbox? What command line are you using in Launchbox?
