Game Controls (Beta) View File A no frills Pause Theme that shows either a Game Specific controller mapping or, in absence of a game map, shows a Platform Specific controller mapping. Some controller images supplied. This is not a complete collection you will have to source/make your images. The theme is mainly designed for those that will create their own mapping images or those that have them already and want a way to show them without having to override the current LaunchBox image files. NOTE: All images must be placed in a specific folder structure and follow the standard LaunchBox naming convention to work with this theme. (SEE BELOW) The theme looks for a .jpg. If you are using .png there is a ReadMe on how to edit the theme or you can change your image file extension. How to set-up: All images must be placed in the following folder and structure. (I have also included a sample folder structure and ReadMe in the zip just copy the "Images" folder into \Launchbox folder.) 1) Place a folder called "Game Controls" in the \Launchbox\Images folder (It would be \Launchbox\Images\Game Controls\) 2) All platform specific control images must be named as the platform in your set-up is named and placed in the \Launchbox\Images\Game Controls folder (Example Sony PlayStation platform: \Launchbox\Images\Game Controls\Sony PlayStation.jpg) Note: The name must match how you have the platform named in Launchbox. 3) All game specific control images must be named exactly as the game is named in your set-up or as the rom is name. The image must then be placed inside a folder that is named exactly as the platfrom is named and the folder must be placed in the Game Controls location. Game Specific Controls folder example: (Example Sony PlayStation platform: \Launchbox\Images\Game Controls\Sony PlayStation\ ). The control image for the game specific is placed in the above folder folder:(Example Alien Trilogy for Sony Playstation: \Launchbox\Images\Game Controls\Sony PlayStation\Alien Trilogy.jpg) I have included @OhBoy controller images with his approval. You can download what he has created here. He also has a Pause and Startup theme. Submitter Retro808 Submitted 02/11/2020 Category Pause Themes

Well it is an aesthetic design that Jason wanted and some users do actually like. To offset for those that do not, Jason chose to keep the Old Default and even made it available to free users.

I appreciate that. If I do I will be sure to tag you for credit and link to the download of the direct images.

In the \Launchbox\Data\Platforms folder are all the platform xml files that contain the games and their metatdata for all the games you imported for each platform.

As in what all the games are that were produced for specific systems? Or do you mean like a text list of all the game for the systems in your specific Launchbox?

It is right at the bottom when you click to add a new submission for a game.

If you feel it should be added create a log in for the GamesDB and submit it. The moderators there will make the determination to add or deny.

There is no option in the new default theme for that. You can use the “Old Default” theme to go back to that look.

Was testing the theme a bit with the fullscreen images from @OhBoy and realized the inset image style in the first pics does not do it justice since it makes some of his outer edge text a bit small. So figure why not also make a fullscreen version. Just a simple text for the menu options and the image. Been kind of slacking on this so my apologies. I will get this one zipped up and type up how the folder structure needs to be and post it, then get the other one done.

Not worrying about folder and path names, but if the game name is exact except for the file ending then maybe you can edit the xaml and do a find all/replace .7z with .iso this way it made the file name now the “game name.iso” then when do a rom path change it is now looking for the .iso. Hope I am making sense.

Beside the drive letter, Is the name of the rom file the same with only .7z and .iso differing?

Very true. But considering how few working chd games there are I rarely update them unless the change log shows those games got updated. I havent downloaded a new chd in quite a long while.

Yeah this may only work with the few chd only games. So you may be out of luck.

Ahh. I missed that part. You could probably make a second Mame emulator that is used to launch only chd games. Then check the unzip option in it. And my post did directly say you could change where Mane looks for the chd.

Mame chd files need to be extracted and in a folder named after the rom. That folder then needs to be located in the folder where the mame zipped roms are. That is where it will look by default. Unless you tell mame where to look directly by changing the file mapping.

Maybe give this a try. ESC:: { SetTitleMatchMode, 2 WinWaitActive, Cemu Send !{f4} }

Correct. I do not think Y2Guru has added any coding for that in his program. It is a great program and does have it's limits in its current form. However, he is constantly working on it so it is only going to get better and better. You could always use his program and then edit the xaml to add that piece in. But if you are working in VS or just coding in Notepad++ that should work for what you need. Although it does not work on all font styles.

Have you tried using a Typography.Capitals command? Not sure if it will work with the font you are using, but worth a test. It may not work with all font types. In the text block try adding Typography.Capitals="Normal" or Typography.Capitals="AllSmallCaps"

@Colorman3605 and @Pixel you know you two are posting in a thread that is no longer relevant.

To set by core just load a game with the core you are using. Hit F1 to go into the Quick Menu. If you have the iPac set to mimic game controller inputs right there in the quick menu scroll to controls and map your buttons. Then go back a page and scroll down to overrides and then either choose Save Core Override (which applies to anytime that core is used) or Save Content Directory Overrides (which will apply those controls to any game launched from the directory. If you have the iPac in multi-mode to mimic keyborad inputs, instead of scrolling down in the Quick Menu to controls, you need to back out one level to the main menu then go to the Gear Icon and choose Input Player 1 and Input Player 2. Set your inputs there than back out and save as before. I do not use an iPac but have an encoder from Xgaming that has similar features.

You can just add each of the .exe files or a shortcut like you would do for a windows game. Create a platform called OpenBor or whatever you want and add the files.

Some things just do not always get put in right from the start. It is only a 2 man team and prioritizing does need to be done. I am quite positive if Jason felt it was a priority he would have added it in. Just like you say it is not uber difficult to add, well neither is making a plugin for it until Jason decides if he is going to add more options. We have the icons right now, its a step forward. Jason has been very well known for adding a new feature, letting it test out and then adding to it based on feedback.

Yes. $Esc:: { Process, Close, {{{StartupEXE}}} }

This has been touched on in prior posts. No there is no dark view currently there as that view is limited to one view type so it cannot have a white and dark option in one theme. Viking did mentions plans to have just a white theme and a dark to fix this.

Jason mentions this in his post.
