If your talking about a single stripe that starts at the bottom and rolls its way up the screen try changing your video setting in Mame. It can be set to options like auto, opengl, and so on. Change to something other than what it is and test.

No, you will want to put it in Launchbox. Go to manage emulators and edit Dolphin. In the Running AHK tab paste the code @jayjay gave you. Be mindful the “Exit AHK” tab is used by the Exit option in Launchbox Pause Theme options. So if exiting from the Pause them using the menu item does not work also paste the code there.

To clarify as I knew I had read somewhere before the automation sent “Escape”. It actually sends that first and then tries Alt+F4 If the emulator has not closed. It can send different commands based on emulator as well. I found the post I was thinking about with Jason’s clarification here. I would definitely try @jayjay recommendation.

Are you talking about startup videos? They should not as quite a while ago the feature was changed to play any startup video in full unless you hit a button to skip out of it. If you are using the old way that required naming the video "Startup" then you need to use the update way. Just create a folder called "Startup" in your \Launchbox\Videos folder and drop the video file in there. It can be any name.

Currently no.

Uncheck the "Extract ROM archives" option.

If they launch fine directly in Mame and not in Launchbox there is a disconnect in LB. Can you post pics. Edit your Mame emulator in LB and show pic of the Details tab and the Associated platforms tab. Then select an AAE game and right click, edit. Show a pic of the Main page with the Launcher tab selected and then a pic with the Emulation tab selected.

OK. Will have to check with the team to confirm what it is sending.

In the Mame emulator set-up in Launchbox did you add the name of the AAE platform to the associated platforms tab?

The exit command should be sending "Escape" not "Alt+F4". There are some emulators that only close with Alt+F4 so we instruct users to put an AHK in the emulator tab to have "ESC" send "ALT+F4" because of this. You mentioned hitting "Escape" on the keyboard during gameplay does not cause this issue. Is this done when you launched the game through BigBox?

It is because of the new dynamic box sizing. Unfortunately to get this back to how it was you would have to turn that feature off. You have to go to >Tools>Options>Visuals>Boxes and uncheck "Dynamic Box Sizing".

That Star Wars has been working. The 217 updated added Star Wars Arcade.

It could be either one of those that affect your system. I do not have have issues with either on my builds, even the ryzen 2200g runs fine with blur on and box sizing. So just test and go with what works.

Not without editing the theme's code to work with a 4:3 screen.

In the Launchbox settings try turning the background blur to 0 and turning of Dynamic Box sizing. You will find one in the \Tools\Options\Visuals\Background and the other in \Visuals\Boxes

If you used the full Mame set import option I do not believe Jason updated it to 217 yet. I just ran the importer to check and as you can see Star Wars Arcade (swa.zip) is not present.

Currently there is not. It is in BigBox primarily since that is the main frontend piece for arcade cabinet builds. We could see an update to this at some time, but for now marquee support update did not make the poll items that the team is working on from 2019.

Yes, there are several threads with this same reported issue on focus loss. Jason did advise Startup/Shutdowns would be problematic due to exclusive fullscreen.

Currently no. I think this is mainly because if it works in LB it works in BB since they function off of the same structure. However, there have been some outlier users that with some emulators will have an issue in BB and not LB.

I believe it can only be set by platform, not by category. Even though you can set it while in Launchbox I have only seen it retain the platform specific choice on each reboot.

What platform are you having issues with? If the games work in Retroarch and not in Launchbox a couple of the more common errors we see is either not having the platform name in the Associated Platforms tab exactly as you have the platform named in Launchbox or you did not select the core you are using. Pics of your edit emulator screen for Retroarch showing the "Details" tab and the "Associated Platforms" tab would help.

The only ones really you could call officially released are ones available directly in BigBox. Those are submitted through our site and tested by the dev team before being pushed to BigBox. All are others are just made available by the creators in the forum download link or as in this case directly in a thread.

Previews have not really worked well for quite some time now. Not sure if it was ever looked at. Not really anything a setting can correct from the users end.

Well in game Launchbox has nothing to do with that. Each emulator has to be setup directly in their config file or UI. So you will need to check bindings in the emulator to see if somehow they changed. This would be for either your Xbox or Tankstick. For the X-arcade since their joystick replicates keystrokes (stock setting if you have the tri-mode pcb) so you will have to bind keyboard. However, that is only for BigBox because Launchbox does not have a keyboard setting. If you have the tri-mode pcb you can switch to Xinput or Dinput and then bind as a game controller in Launchbox.

Did you unblock and then unzip the file as well? Considering the creator of this theme has not been around in a while and was last updated in 2017 there could be some functionality issues with BigBox. There have been a lot of updates since then and the theme may not work well anymore.
