  1. Go into your Launchbox\Data folder and remove (just remove it from that folder, do not delete it in case you need to put it back) your BigBoxSettings.xaml. BB will generate a default one and see if you can move around with your keyboard then. If it works you should be able to remap your controls for BigBox.
  2. That's the old way. Place any videos you want to use as a start up in \Launchbox\Videos\Startup folder. If you do not see that folder create it. The video files can be any length and any name. LB will randomize them on start up. Also the videos can be named whatever you want.
  3. There is not. You used to be able to but startup was overhauled a while ago. Now videos play as BigBox is opened. So the video will play in full regardless if length then switch to BigBox or you can hit a button during the video to jump right in BB. The old version the video played before BigBox opened. Do you have your startup video located inside the \Videos\Startup folder?
  4. Yes. Demul will run Mame roms/bios for Atomiswave.
  5. In LaunchBox Under >Tools>Options there is a Debugging option. Turn it on. It will not generate logs that could be used to help troubleshoot if it shows any issues.
  6. Plenty of marquee downloads in our downloads section of the forum.
  7. OK, good to hear your others run fine. So definitely not a LB issue, but a Mame/Rom issue.
  8. Dang, that would drive me nuts. 5 Mbps!
  9. For sure you can get the games you want to work, and if the hunt is something you like by all means. It was something I did not mind doing in the past. Heck the hunting gave me a lot of things to read and learn from Should only require the rom and the support file. Test in Mame directly. The other games you imported work if launched from LaunchBox correct?
  10. Very very rue, but that was more of a generalized recommendation since lots of roms remain unchanged. Seen way to many users here spend hours trying to chase down support files, or even good roms since some of these sites not only have old roms, but crap ones that do not work. Not anything I know you do not already know. I would rather recommend to a user up front to spend the little bit of time downloading a known rom set and work off of that then have someone spend unnecessary hours chasing files. Would have loved to have had that advice when I got into this long ago. @Rags2Rickius We always recommend setting the games up in the emulator first and testing they work. Then import in LB. This way if a game does not launch from within Launchbox it eliminates it being a rom or emulator issue. One less item to troubleshoot.
  11. Ditch the Bin/Lst files. That method if pretty much no longer recommended. The preferred method is using the Mame Roms. When you import other Arcade platforms such as Atomiswave, SNK Neo Geo, CPS1, and so on set the scrape as option the "Arcade".
  12. If you are running games in Mame the files should never be unzipped. The only ones that would be are chd files if a game requires a CHD (this game does not). The support file Heardrush mentioned needs to be zipped and can just be placed in the same folder as your other mame roms. It does not need to be added to LB. A question we should really know the answer to better troubleshoot...does the game run if you run it directly in Mame? Also if you are just downloading random roms and files from a site or various sites, that is a good way to not have working roms depending on the Mame version you are running.
  13. Are you not able to edit those by clicking on the Graphics and Controller icons in the image? Been a while since I have messed with my Dolphin settings, but since I set mine up it has always only launched one window.
  14. Of course it is slower when using the arrow keys. It is only increasing the image with each click by 0.001.
  15. Bottom right of the screen in LaunchBox. Tick the box labeled "Text"
  16. Mame saves will not work if you are using LaunchBox high score features. They are disabled as a cheat prevention.
  17. I did not do anything special. Kept Mame stock mapping for things like Pause and Save/Load states. Which means Mame is using "p" for pause. Mapped my in game controls in Mame. In BB I mapped Pause in the keyboard automation section only and set it to the Pause Button and P1 Start. "Pause button" is the hot key and "P1 Start" is the activate key (I do not use a single pause or single exit button since my cabinets tend to always have kids playing them). I also did not adjust any settings that the controller came with. So it is set to stock mapping as well. They have the software you can use to remap buttons. This is the same I did with the Xarcade Tankstick as it works the same as the Xtension it just has less dedicated buttons.
  18. I do not see why it would not (if it accepts command line operations it will for sure work). LaunchBox is pretty emulator agnostic as it is said often. You are not stuck to what is in the drop down list. Just manually add the emulator. The drop down box is also a free form text field so you can call the emulator what you want.
  19. I will tag @C-Beats to see if he can take a look.
  20. Just launch Retroarch itself without a game and you are in the user interface. You can maneuver over to inputs section and see what the stock mappings are. From there you can set your custom controls which would affect all cores or you can load a core and set custom controls for each core. The benefit of RA is running a bunch of systems with only one emulator, bezels, save states to name a few. Plus being able to set custom controls per core, per game, even per folder. There are a ton of tutorials on the individual emulators on how to set them up. The ones LB puts out are just that, tutorials about getting LB set-up.
  21. The new 0.9 version has all the same views. You just need to change them in the view options in BigBox or map a key/button for "Change View" and you can change the view on the fly. Some views like TextList view have to be in themes by default. Here is 0.9 dark using both the same views you are showing in your images you posted.
  22. You cannot have them both open at the same time. If you have LB open and want to then run BB instead you have to launch BB from within the LB menu option. Depending on the LB theme you are using there should be an option to launch BB in the upper left menu items.
  23. BigBox Pause Menu feature allows you to view manuals in pdf format. I do not use Dos Box so not sure how well the Pause feature works with it.
