BigBox crash while sitting idle doing attract mode
Retro808 replied to MrSco's topic in Troubleshooting
That I already did as I had found some issues and reported to y2guru which I know he worked with you on his updates. -
BigBox crash while sitting idle doing attract mode
Retro808 replied to MrSco's topic in Troubleshooting
It was one I made in the Theme Creator. I am going run default today and test for a crash. I have tested on my big cabinet with the default theme and still got a crash, but that build has different specs so could be something entirely different. I will report back on this one I have set it to default theme. -
BigBox crash while sitting idle doing attract mode
Retro808 replied to MrSco's topic in Troubleshooting
Completely understand. I do have logs on for all systems. So I will run them all and send logs. Here is actually a log from the last close out on the cabinet with the Ryzen CPU (Mini-cabbuild). It does reference a memory issue. I am curious as to why (is 16GB just not enough?). This cabinet runs only Arcade platforms (Arcade, CPS, CPS2, CPS3, SNK Neo Geo, and Cave). All are only using Mame/Mame Roms. Theme is minimal in displayed media (non-full screen gameplay video, box art, clear logo, and favorites icon, text list view). The them was created in the Community Theme Creator. Specs: Ryzen 2200g, 16GB Ram, 2x 1 TB Internal 3.5" SSD, no dedicated GPU. I will look to see if I can find a log from a crash on the i7-7700k build or post one after it does. Debug 2020-07-01 08-45-35 AM.log -
BigBox crash while sitting idle doing attract mode
Retro808 replied to MrSco's topic in Troubleshooting
@Jason Carr This is something I have had happening for a long time and it is such a random event. 2 of my set-ups that run constantly experience it. I have not mentioned it in a while since I remember you have not had stability issues. It is really such a random event as to when it occurs, but it usually is after a few hours. I have kept up with drivers and Windows updates. It occurs regardless of theme in BigBox. I have not been able to pin it down to any additional background software and it has occurred on older and updated drivers. Both set-ups use VLC in the BB setting. Not saying it is BB related, just giving some additional data. Specs: Cabinet 1 - Core i7-7700k, 32GB Ram, GTX-1080 Cabinet 2 - AMD Ryzen 2200G, 16GB Ram, No Dedicate GPU). This cabinet only runs Mame roms. I cannot confirm if my other cabinets had this happen as these two are the only ones running almost daily. I will test on the others to see. -
short and sweet question for inital loading...
Retro808 replied to gmee123's topic in Playlists & Playlist Media
Current BigBox state will not load directly into a single platform If you only have one or even into a specified platform if you have more than one. If Arcade is your only platform you can just set your Default Startup View to All Games. In BigBox settings >Options>Views and set it there. -
What view is your BigBox set to startup at? (BigBox Setting>Option>Views will show you the default startup view). Maybe a pic of what your Launchbox platform list looks like (the left window pane in LB) and a pic of what what you are seeing in BigBox would help.
-
The -01 is not required. It is just how you would name if you had multiple files for the same game. So if you had 2 videos you would name them "Name-01.mkv" and "Name-02.mkv". The video file will still play if named the with the numeric value. When you download inside the LaunchBox UI it will use that convention to make sure the next one downloaded is -02 and so on. I would use the -01 just to keep things in line, but again, it is not required.
-
Do you have any of these boxes checked in your setting in LaunchBox? (>Tools>Manage Emulators and edit Citra). If so, uncheck and test.

Controller exit button: Doesn't work in BigBox
Retro808 replied to kaega2's topic in Troubleshooting
If you set the button for the "Exit" command in BigBox that is the wrong field. You need to set it for the one labeled "Close Active Window". "Exit" field in BigBox is for closing BigBox itself. -
That's the default fallback so an image is at least shown if there is no platform background image. Background images are located inside the startup theme's folder. That arcade image you see is named "Default.jpg" so you can use any image you want as a default. Just add it an name it Default.jpg. I did not add a ton of images as this theme was just something I tinkered with to help Sirgubster9. So it was not a complete collection of media. All you need to do is add more images for your platforms that do not have any. Make sure to name them exactly as the platform is named in your LB set-up. Add background images to: \LaunchBox\StartupThemes\Multiple Image Controller\Images\Background\

Nice! I just corrected my prior imports of RingWide games since it had been a year. Looking forward to more media for them. Thanks for all the drops on these and the other arcade boards.
-
Maybe this one? I tested this one and the one earlier and they both work. What tab are you putting it in? I do not use Desmume so not sure what would be the issue if this one does not work. $Esc:: { WinClose, ahk_exe {{{StartupEXE}}} }
-
Did you refresh your image cache? In BigBox settings for images there is an option to refresh the image cache. Sometimes you need to do this when adding new images.
-
That posted script does not look right. Try this: $Esc:: Send !{f4}
-
PPSSPP should not need an AHK to exit within LaunchBox. Just put the command line below in the Default Command Line Paramaters box and it should work. It does for me. --escape-exit Also just an FYI, AHK for exiting game should go in the Running AHK Tab. The Exit tab is for if you have issue exiting from the Pause Menu.

Are the Gameboy/color/advance databases missing many images?
Retro808 replied to Madhead's topic in Collections and Builds
The LaunchBox Database is community moderated and community contributed so it is always an ongoing process to add and clean up images. The more members that contribute the more data we can collect. So yes, this is an on going thing, members of the community continue to contribute, and the only other way is for you to use other sources to scrape media. Emumovies is one source that can be scraped within the LaunchBox UI. -
Help With Getting Kega Fusion to Start in Fullscreen
Retro808 replied to arcadeknight's topic in Noobs
I do not use Kega Fusion but do have it set up and working fine with fullscreen and exiting just using LB/BB controller mapping. Fullscreen wise I never edited the ini file so the show fullscreen option is still set to "0". In the default command line parameters within LB emualtor setting I have -fullscreen added. So try adding that line in the box for Default Command Line Parameters. For exiting the game try putting either of these AHK scripts in you emulator setup in LB. Under >Tools>Manage Emulators choose Kega and edit it. Paste either script below inside the Running AutoHotKey tab and test. $Esc:: Send !{f4} or Also $Esc:: { WinClose, ahk_exe {{{StartupEXE}}} } -
In game hit Tab and then in the input for This Machine make sure the X analog is set to mouse. Memory might not be accurate, but I do remember needing to set that with my Tankstick. Depending on the Golden Tee game it might be Track X Analog or even Lightgun Track X Analog. You will know it when you see it.

A little more info would help to try and troubleshoot. What exactly happens? What have you done to try and remedy if anything? Did you recently go through a Windows update or update Launchbox? Do you get an error and it closes out? Do you see it initializing and then nothing? Do you get a warning another instance is running and yet task manager does not show another instance?
-
Funny part is it is me normally missing that little detail and one of the other mods have to come behind me and catch it. Glad you are sorted.
-
Cool. I was not sure if the priority setting overrode the option in BigBox. Good to know it does.
-
Yes. Other than editing a xaml I do not recall any other options in LB to update rom paths.
-
If you are on version 11 of LB go into LB and then check your video priorities in LB tools. New feature with version 11 allows you to set a video priority in LB. This might be overriding the check box in BigBox.
-
You need to also highlight all the games in each platform now that they are imported and go to >Tools>Change Roms Folder Path and then update the rom path for all imported games. Change the folder in the Platform level just changes future stuff and where LB will scan for new roms if you choose. It does not affect what was imported prior to the change. Just an FYI you do not need to choose the option to "Move" during import. Leaving it where it is, even if it is outside of LB the import will manage the files just fine.
-
You likely have the setting in BigBox checked for it to prioritize Theme video over Gameplay videos. In BigBox go to settings then Options>Videos. It will be the last item in that list. If it is checked uncheck it.
