Yes, that's what the new badge system shows. You can also change the image .png to ones more to your liking. \Launchbox\Images\Badges

Did you copy the theme folder that was located in \Launchbox\Themes after it was published or the one that is located within the \My Theme Projects folder of the Theme Creator.

They are shareable. Did you publish the theme after your were done? If not you go to the Theme Creator menu and choose "Publish".

I have the platform imported as SNK Neo Geo MVS and my roms are pulled from a Mame set and I use Mame to run the games. I did just test them with Retroarch (directly inside RA) and that game runs on FBNeo, FBAlpha, and Mame cores. So I added FBNeo core to my RA set-up and tested launching the game from LB and it worked with no issue.

That is odd. Your settings look all correct. If the roms are all good and run within RA from the same core that you are using in LB then all game should work. You are sure that when you run the games directly in RA the core you chose that the games worked in is the same core you have set in RA? Just wanting to confirm.

In your manage emulators screen uncheck the box for "Don't Use Quotes"

Any chance you are running MSI AfterBurner/Riva Tuner? If you are add an exception for LaunchBox in it. Also check and make sure antivirus is not excluding it if you are running one.

? Glad you found where it was.

How did you add CPS1 to your Launchbox? Is it a platform or a playlist. If it is a playlist the video will be located in \Launchbox\Playlists folder. Also please do not post the video here. Certain videos are available only from the Launchbox UI. If it is one available from the UI, but the creator also posted it on the forum then just link to the creators downloads thread. Which specific one are you trying to download as there are about 12 or 13 in total available?

Cool. Glad it helped you as well as it did me.

For in game all controls are configured in the emulator. What you map in BigBox is only for moving around in BigBox UI.

@shadowfire I agree with Neil and Rince. Most definitely worth a release. Who care if the code is messy. It looks excellent for someone without prior xaml experience. I would recommend making sure the license is visible since it is required.

@Bamak Perhaps you could try using AHK to create a launcher for troublesome games like this. It is what I use with SFV with a remapper I use and finally got it to run without closing before the game launched. Create an AHK that contains code to launch your UCR, then Launch the game exe and then upon close of the game exe it closes UCR. Compile the AHK as an exe (Name it what you want) and then point to that for the game instead of the actual game exe file. Below is an example. You can just replace my paths and .exe file name's with yours. The script was compiled and named Street Fighter V Launcher.exe. Be sure to place the Launcher you create in the same folder as the game's actual .exe. May be worth a try. I am not an expert in AHK, this was help provided to me on our forum. I cannot remember if it was JayJay or JoeViking that helped. So if it works for you as well props to either of those two. #NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases. ; #Warn ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors. SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability. SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory. #SingleInstance, Force #Persistent Run D:\Arcade\LaunchBox\Additional Programs\Arcade XInput.exe Sleep, 5000 Run, StreetFighterV.exe Sleep, 1000 SetTimer, ProcessCheckTimer, 2000 Return ProcessCheckTimer: Process, Exist, StreetFighterV.exe pid1 := ErrorLevel If (!pid1) { Process, Close, Arcade XInput.exe ExitApp } Return

Not sure what you mean by "only in my MameUI64 frontend". Launchbox is the frontend and Mame or MameUI are the emulators. When you imported your Mame roms what emulator did you assign as default? Mame or MameUI?

Given the fact you have posted questions in wrong sections before, then the answer to your attempt at being smart with me is “Yes, you would have”. I am trying to provide help. You do not like the questions I ask then be more concise with the information you provide.

Doesn't work in Launchbox or doesn't work in Retroarch? What exactly is or is not happening. Just saying “it still doesn't work” is not very descriptive.

In the \Launchobox\Videos folder create a folder called Startup. Then drop any videos you want in there. Names do not matter. Launchbox will now use a random one at startup.

What version of Mame are you using? (Mame, MameUI, Arcade64???) For exiting a game from Mame back to BigBox it is best to open Mame and set the command to Exit inside Mame as well. Map it to same button or buttons you set in BigBox.

Yes. You can move around in BigBox with just a controller or arcade controls and even set BigBox to start on when your pc boots up. You would need a keyboard to set-up everything and make tweaks, I would keep one handy even afterwards.

I have not done it with that specific controller, but have done it with several other arcade encoders. If the encoder has spare control pins I wired to those pins so the coin slot has its own input command. If it does not like on one of the X-Arcade encoders I have it was just jumpered with the button I set as the "Add Coin" button. So that way if you press that button or insert a coin it acts as the same control. Looking at that controller you have it looks like you can just connect it to the Coin 1 and Coin 2 buttons. The coin door should come with a jumper wire to just wire it inline with those switches.

No. Tested on 3 cabinets and all the same. One was even tested using my secondary office connection at home. Same result.

@C-Beats I tested the steps you posted and for Blasphemous the Genre lists only "Action". Even if I delete any existing Genre text or delete all metadata it still pulls only from what our DB has.

BigBox can be pretty taxing graphically on a machine depending on how much media you have displayed and the animations of a theme (so some themes can be harder on a system than others), if you have a bunch of auto-populated playlists (the constant need for BigBox to ensure the auto-populated playlist is pulling the required games), and volume of games in relation to the prior two items. There are other things that can affect performance within BigBox, but these are a few of the more common items. So strictly speaking about BigBox since you mentioned how long it took to load, based on what you plan to do within BigBox would drive your path of what system specs would need to be. We do have a thread about some performance tweaks you can make so I would say take a look at it here.

Because emulators and rom dumps can and do change over time. A rom may get a cleaner/better dump and therefore the emulator may need to be updated to work with the new dump. So that is partially why an older set of roms may work with a very old emulator and not with a newer version. Mame documentation has some good info explaining Roms and Sets. It is worth a read if you really want to understand the changes. The "Troubleshooting your roms..." section is a good spot to look at.

Launchbox has 3 main layers you can add. Category, Platform, and Playlist. To add any of those just right click in the left hand pane of Launchbox and choose which on you want to add. A category or a platform can be a parent.
