I could make something for you to use with the Retrorama artwork. I will not distribute it with any of Phil's original artwork or the art from this thread. So you will have to add the images yourself. The images will need to named a specific way and placed in the correct folder, but I will let you know what to do.

This is not a startup theme for LB/BB. No one has created a Retrorama startup theme for BigBox yet. I have not really used the Retrorama style themes before so what these images are for I could not tell you. I can just say it is in fact not an actual LB/BB Startup theme.

Do you mean for all games? The highlighted game title is always visible. For all the other games to have the title always showing there is a box on the bottom right of LB labeled "Text". Tick that box and it makes all non-selected games show their titles over the box art.

What game? Very rarely do games in an earlier version not work in newer versions.

LB allows you to use a default image for a few image options like Box, 3D box, Cart and 3D Cart. Just right click on the platform name. Then in the right part of the window with the game images click to add a new image and then choose the default option you want. Then add the image.

So how can you be sure the list someone will post for you is accurate?

Retroarch is easy to set up. No need to avoid it. First thing to always determine, do your games work if you run them directly in Retroach? 1: If you are using Retroarch you need to call the emulator Retroarch or you will not get the correct Associated Platform screen. So change the emulator name from Neo Geo to Retroarch. 2: Once you fix that your Associate Platforms screen will look like below. In the associated platforms team you no longer enter the core command line you simply click to drop down box and select the core. 3: Always make sure the name you have showing for the platform name in LaunchBox you enter that name exactly in the Associate Platforms tab. So if your games are in the platform SNK Neo Geo MVS then the associate platforms tab needs to show exactly SNK Neo Neo MVS (these cannot differ from each other). If your games are in the Neo Geo platform you enter Neo Geo in the associated platforms tab. Mame Set-up: If you want to use Mame it is just as simple as Retroarch. 1. Open Mame and in the UI add the directory path to your roms location. 2. Make sure you have the correct bios file(s) as well. The bios goes in the roms folder or anywhere you want as long as you add the folder path to Mame. 3. Test the games in mame to make sure they work. 3. Add Mame as an emulator to LaunchBox (If you do not already have it - If you do just go to step 4). 4. In LB Edit the Associated Platforms tab for Mame and add the exact name of your NeoGeo platform. 5. Group select all your Neo Geo games and edit them changing the emulator to Mame since you already have them pointing to Retroarch.

I think Jason mentioned some themes that use one of Eatkinola's plug-ins have been having issues with Pause feature. What theme are you using? I would recommend trying the default theme if you are not using it and see if it happens with that theme.

You will have to import them and select the option to allow duplicates. Then they will import. You can then combine them with the existing from.

Is this a high score for the same game from the .220 build that is not getting uploaded? Or are you saying high scores for any game in the .196 build do not get uploaded?

Is it just Mame this affects or other platforms as well? Did you try a different theme to eliminate it being a theme issue?

Are you using the new high score function in LaunchBox? If so, save state do not work with that function. They are disabled as a way to eliminate some cheating on high scores.

BigBox does not have a setting that allows flipping back and forth between 2 screens once a game is launched to keep something displayed on both screens. You can set main screen and a marquee screen. What ever you set as the marquee screen will stay the marquee screen. So in your case LCD is main screen (since that is what you said displays BigBox) and CRT is marquee. Once the game is started and whatever program you are using switches the game to the CRT, BigBox still sees the CRT as the marquee.

LB/BB have experienced memory leaks issues and Jason has fixed them in the past and always looks to fix them. For your issue in BB crashing after being left in attract mode what theme or themes are you using? I have a similar issue with 2 of my cabinets the other 2 do not have it. So it is a pretty odd issue for me.

This means unfortunatley you are either using a pirated license or one that has been known to have been shared amongst users. You will need to purchase a legitimate licenses. If you feel this is an error please email the license information to support@unbrokensoftware.com.

No it is not theme specific. You can set say Platform lists to Wheel view and then Game list to Text view. However, if you change themes the new theme retains those views. That is exactly what I was advising of.

If after that cache gets built you still have high usage after subsequent starts there could be something else going on. Do you have a lot of auto-populated playlists? It may not have fallen on deaf ears. There are only 2 developers working on this so it is not like we have a big team that can focus on every issue. C-Beatsmay be trying to figure out what is up from your post. Different themes have been found to cause memory leaks so it could be a theme issue. Not saying that is your cause, but have you tested different themes. I recently let a member know some themes were causing attract mode to lock up and BB become unusable so he is taking a look at it to see what needs updating.

Image priorities got cleaned up a bit in a recent update. Jason did mention we would have to check our image priorities as some may have been affected by the update. So just go into your LB image priorities and check them.

Just go in your updates folder and run the installer last stable version you have in there.

I hope I understand what you are asking. There is no current way to set each theme to use certain views so that way when you change to that theme it has the views you prefer for it. You can only set BigBox to a certain view for platform and game level. If you change the theme it uses that current setting.

@Gamer Actually here you go. Someone previously posted what I was recommending.

You can compile an AHK to run the exe then send Alt+Enter. After you compile it just point LB to that instead of the game’s exe. When I get back to the house I can send you an example.

Just open the mame exe and select a game from within the UI. Prior to the version of LB you are on now what was the previous version?

It is not clear if you are saying they will not run directly in the emulator anymore or if you are saying they will not run when you try to open through Launchbox using different mame versions. If you open the games directly in Mame do they still run? If they still run directly in Mame and just will not run in Launchbox it could be because you are using such and old mame version. If you go to >Tools>Manage Emulators and edit your mame set up you will need to delete the line below from the default command line box. -keyboardprovider dinput

Under "Controller" setting in BigBox did you tick the box for "Enable Game Controllers" Also make sure you select your controller under the "Device" option.
