I am wondering if something is flaky with that one USB encoder. Directly in Windows if you test the buttons in the Game Controllers utility does P1 have the same partial recognition or does it always test good?

So P1 side never gets recognized even if P2 side is unplugged? You mentioned Steam not recognizing it either. If this when Launching a Steam game from within LB or even if you launch a game in Steam without Launchbox?

I noticed I typed the wrong setting name. I meant the one for "Use All Atached Controllers". If that is not checked try checking it. If it is uncheck it and keep P2 unplugged and see if P1 registers. I would reboot LaunchBox after you change any settings. In one of my cabinets I have a similar set of USB encoders off Amazon. Here is the settings I have and what it registers as. They work fine from both P1 and P2.

Just a heads up @y2guru community theme creator tool can be used to make custom marquee images. One great thing about the tool is you set the image styles as you like for a platform then you can have it generate the marquee images for all games in the platform at the click of a button. Here is an example.

In LB Tools under the Game Controller option do you have the button check for Enable All Controllers?

What specifically are you trying to map? Something in LaunchBox or in an emulator? If it is in LaunchBox it will not see it as 2 unique controllers. LB does see you have 2 but it does not distinquish between the two as in Joy1Button1 and Joy2Button1. It will only see Button1 regardless of which side you are using.

@goldenegg You should be able to manually add it. The game is playable. The graphics and sound are rated as "OK". It is one of the machines in mame with unemulated protection so game play is not 100%. However, it is complete enough to play.

That will be perfect than. I will just refine the image assets and then when you release the next build will start the production.

Clear logos I have. These are custom controller map images so right now I am testing the theme (Pause theme) and making the initial image templates using Photoshop. Once I get the layers minimized and look set I am going to try the mass produce with the editor.

Ahhh. Brilliant I forgot you mentioned that change before. Worked great. Thankfully I have not got too far in to making the custom images so I do not have to many files to rename. Thanks @y2guru

Anyone know the best way to use the Game name to pull images from a custom folder? If I use <Binding Path="SelectedGame.Title" /> to locate the image in a custom folder it will not display any image for a game with an "_" in the title. For Example: Street Fighter II: The New Challengers will have images named Street Fighter II_ The New Challengers (I am matching how LaunchBox would name that file). SelectedGame.Title does not seem to work since it does not see the "_" as the same as ":" from the actual title and of course Windows does not allow ":" in file names. The exact code is below. <TextBlock x:Name="GameControls" Visibility="Collapsed" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="3" Grid.RowSpan="2" Grid.ColumnSpan="3" > <TextBlock.Text> <MultiBinding StringFormat="{}pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Images/Game Controls/{0}/{1}.jpg"> <Binding Path="SelectedGame.Platform" /> <Binding Path="SelectedGame.Title" /> </MultiBinding> </TextBlock.Text> </TextBlock> <Image Source="{Binding Text, ElementName=GameControls}" Stretch="Fill" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="6" Grid.ColumnSpan="5" />

Those are not the same as the badges from LaunchBox. The badges are similar data, but it actually is a slightly different feature. The icons in your image are theme driven and theme created. Badges will be available regardless of the theme. Make sure you have "Show badges" checked.

What is one of the games you are having issues with? It's in gdi format?

I don't use software lists but a quick search of the forum found this.

Badges currently are not in BigBox. So not sure how they are working there. It is currently only a LB Theme item. As far as them not showing in LB are you using a custom box spacing by chance? If so, the spacing could be hiding the badges.

Well if you installed them on a different computer than likely the path names are different. You will need to update all the paths in Launchbox. Unfortunately if you paid someone for a drive full of games we do not provide support for things like that. We do not support rom sellers nor provide support for their set-ups. If you want to use those roms and set everything up fresh we can assist there.

What game were you trying to launch? Did you confirm the path in Launchbox to the game file is correct?

Did that FB romset come from a Mame set? We always recommend scraping any arcade system as "Arcade". I have SNK NeoGeo as a separate platform and it scrapped all the games just fine.

No on the video part.

You can set a default Box, 3D Box, Cart and 3D Cart per platform. In Tools>Manage Platforms (or right click a platform name and edit) when you edit a platform in the images pane add an image and select one of the default labels.

Well, where ever you friend got it from it is a known pirated license. It is always best to support the developer and purchase from the LaunchBox site. You can email support@unbrokensoftware.com and explain the situation. Especially since you said you bought the renewal a few days ago.

No. The marquee currently does not support videos.

Close LaunchBox and delete that platform xml from the \Launchbox\Data folder. Then also go into the \Launchbox\Backups folder and delete any file reference to that platform. Normally backups have no affect but I did see a similar post to this a few days back and that is what helped the user. So give it a try.

Its probably the typo in your command line. Switch back to the emulator exe and as Headrush mentioned you need to remove the space between your resolution #’s. Should just be -res=1280,1024 If you set it in the display settings in the UI you don’t need that resolution command line.

Looks like one of the panes has been stretched out of proportion. Close LaunchBox and go into the \Launchbox\Data folder and remove (do not delete it just move it somewhere else) the Settings.xaml. LB will generate a new one when you relaunch. See if that has any affect on it.
