Try checking the box for "Force Importing Duplicates" when importing.

Combine the roms in Launchbox into one title. Then in either LB and BB you can choose the version. In BB in the game details screen you will see Additional Apps/Version option. Click it and it brings up the different versions.

Yes, It is possible. Big Fade startup plays a platform specific video if one is present or a default one if not.

I do not see anything wrong in the settings. By chance does the full name of the folder path for your roms contain any special characters?

I will definitely say purchase a license. I have enjoyed the product for over 3 years now and our two devs just keep making it better. I know they would appreciate the support. Should be easy enough to fix what you have and get it a bit cleaner.

I see you did not put the mame roms inside the Mame\Roms folder you embedded one folder more. Which is fine you, but you do need to go into Mame and tell it to now look there. Also I do not see a Mame.ini file. This usually gets generated if you run Mame64.exe and save the current settings. At that point Mame generates the ini file. Did you tell Mame where to find the roms?

Currently this is not possible.

Ok then that is definitely a disconnect in LB settings and has nothing to do with cores or bios files. Since your game play in RA properly. Can you right click a game for NES and edit. Then share a pic of that full edit screen showing the Launcher tab showing and then same pic with the Emulation tab showing. Also FYI you do not need to use an image hosting site you can attach them directly to the post.

Typo. I did mean 4. If you bind a key/button as I mentioned you would get to the correct view as you watched it switch.

Yes. That is the spot. Vertical Wheel 3 is fullscreen. I recommend set a key/button to change views that way in the games list you can hit that key/button to change the view on the fly.

I did not see this mentioned so going to ask. Do your game play in Retroarch if you run them directly in Retroarch without using Launchbox?

@ci2own Quick question for clarification. In your first post you talk about platforms then in your second you are mentioning playlists. Are these two separate issues? Are you missing platforms or playlists? They are not the same so just want to clarify.

The theme you are using is designed to show videos in that box. All themes have multiple views and some will have a view dedicated to fullscreen video, some may not. You just need to change views. I believe the Unified and Unified Redux themes have a fullscreen view for videos.

Are the the videos files named exactly as the game is named in LB? The file needs to match either the LB game name or the rom name. Also there is an option in BigBox in the videos setting to "Prioritize Game Theme Videos". If the game theme videos are not available in Emumovies and are only posted on our forum there is no way to download them directly in LaunhBox.

Did you set your controller automation mapping in LaunchBox/BigBox to the button you want to close emulators? In BigBox it is the mapping for "Close Active Window". In LaunchBox it is "Exit Game". If you set the mapping it should work. I use the script below and can close Demul with button combo set for Joy8 + Joy9. What LB controller automation does is basically send Escape when you hit the button you mapped in it. $Esc:: { WinClose, ahk_exe demul.exe } If setting it up that still does not work you could try Joy11::Send {Alt Down}{F4}{Alt Up} I am not an AHK expert so probably a better way to script that. It was an AHK I saw in another thread that worked. You can do per game. Just right click the game and edit. In the Emulation tab choose the emulator you need. You can also select multiple games at once and it will bulk edit them. Cannot help on this as I do not run a screensaver on my cabinets. I use BigBox attract mode whenever they are running.

No worries. I have only tinkered with Tekno and Lightguns so no expert here. We try to be as helpful as we can though.

I would probably stick with the known working versions of TeknoParrot for DemulShooter. Even though TeknoParrot receives constant updates the dev of demulshooter may only do updates when there is a known TeknoParrot update to rail shooter games. I would check emuline forums though they are good source of info. If the wiki states Linderberg system games were tested with 1.0.0.287 I would use that version. Also what are you using as your lightgun?

Any troubles just post here. We will help get you sorted.

If you only have the one platform you can set BigBox default startup view to All Games. This way BB opens right into the list of arcade games.

Are the rom files you are currenlty using .bin and .lst? If so ditch those. They are no longer worth using. The best way to play Atomiswave and Naomi is to use the rom files from mame rom set. Demul is simple to set up. If you download a full mame rom set all the zip and bios files you will need are in there. You would then only need to get the chd for some games. The Riecast core is now the Flycast core and that core works with the mame roms/bios files as well.

If a user takes direct issue with you, or anyone else for that matter, about a high score please let us know. We already had one such instance and it is uncalled for. Jason will likely remove the score since it is not valid anyway.

Make sure in the Associated platform you have the platform name if you imported the games under their own platform and the correct command line for each system.

That will definitely cause an issue. In the \Data\Platforms there should only ever be 1 file with a platform name in it. Even if you name it something like Sega Genesis_Backup.xaml LB will try to read it. So, if you create a backup file of a platform xml it is best to save it elsewhere.

In Demuls path setting point Demul to the folder where you have the roms and make sure you have the correct bios files. When you add those games to Launchbox you need to set up a separate Demul for arcade games. You cannot use the same set-up in Launchbox that runs Dreamcast. Reason is there are some different check boxes for the arcade games needed for Demul that Dreamcast does not need.

There is a way to make this work. LB allows you to set a default image for certain items like Cart-Front. This way if a platform is missing a cart front it will not need to use image priorities to fill the void but will use the default image. What you can do is put a note in your theme description that in order to get the cart image to look right/work right that the user turn off image priorities for Cart Front and ensure they have set a default image in LB for Cart - Front. That would keep the theme from then using the LB image priority fallbacks.
