    Launchbox would have nothing to do with this. It does not have any input on game controls. You would have to enable cheats I believe in Mame. Then in the cheats menu it should have options to set autofire. I do believe one of the last versions added an autofire plugin that give better options. If you look in the mame version release notes I think it is like .210 or .211 that states something about the autofire plugin. I have never messed with autofire so cannot confirm what the new plugin is.

    Well, the default theme itself can never be edited. It will always revert back to its stock code. This is to ensure there is always a working theme. It can be copied and renamed to something else then edited. That was the main thing I wanted to confirm. Editing in other theme's should work though. What specific view xaml are you editing? Perhaps also share the code you changed to, so we can have an idea what you are doing.

    What theme are you trying to edit this in?

    I know you said volume is up, but not sure if you just meant on the pc or on the volume dial/slider in Launchbox. Is the volume turned down in Launchbox by accident? There is a volume dial/slider (depending on theme) in the bottom right.

    SSFIV is not emulated on mame. SFIV and Ultra SFIV are both on steam. Otherwise you should be able to find it on some of the more common pc game download sites.

    It was talked about a few posts before yours.

    Well if you have them marked broken you image shows you have BigBox set to show broken games. So would probably not be the issue. Keep in mind mame roms should match their mame version. So if you got roms from someone and they are from and old mame rom set and you are running a new version of Mame that can/will cause issues. Mame gets updated and sometimes roms and rom support files do as well. So your roms should come from a set that the version always matches or is as close to the version of mame you are using.

    @Vargtand I do not see anything odd in the images that would explain why you have games not showing. Try removing that "All.xaml" file from the playlist folder and restarting BigBox. Do not delete it, just move it completely out of Launchbox folder structure. As far as why Aliens Vs Predator is not working that usually means you do not have the correct bios files. Capcom games require a qsound.zip or qsound_hle.zip if you romset is newer than I believe 0.186 for them to work. Do you have a full romset of mame games or did you download individual roms?

    Please share a few pics. 1) Share a pic of your General settings in BigBox like @C-Beats showed. 2) Share a pic of your \Launchox\Data folder (looking for a pic that show the contents of that folder. 3) Share a pic of your \Launchox\Data\Playlists folder (looking for a pic that show the contents of that folder. 4) Choose a game that is not showing in BigBox and right click on it then choose edit. Share a pic of the full "Edit Game" screen that appears. Pics are usually very helpful to see if we can spot a setting or something missing.

    Not sure. I see you also have a folder simply called "Back". That "Front" folder is definitely not a folder created by Launchbox (or at least never seen it create it) and all those subregion folders are more then what LB creates. If you right click and edit a game and then right click over the image in the bottom right of the edit pane does "Front" appear as an option? Any chance this is a pre-built LB you downloaded and added your license to?
  11. Retro808
    I do. My setting always had that off. Completely forgot about that option. Just test though and ticking it had no affect. Game still worked. Going to test one of the other cabinets as I do not have this game on all set-ups.
  12. Retro808
    Definitely something odd. I have no issues with the folder name and chd name being different. For Chaos Heat my folder name is "chaoshea" and my chd is "chaosheat". It works in Launchbox. While @MayorQwert had a completely different outcome.
  13. Retro808
    What Pause theme are you using? Just tried a few games on a few different themes and no issues viewing manuals or any pdf added as an additional app (cheats, moves lists).
  14. Retro808
    Cool. Glad you got it working.
  15. Retro808
    Yes, well aware of what you said which is why I was pointing out I have seen LB have issues scraping against a chd file name. So this would be one of those odd cases we have to use a workaround. That should be named "chaoshea". Can you show what the rom path is Mame is pointed at? A screen cap from Mame would be helpful.
  16. Retro808
    All you need to do is edit the game. Go to the Emulation tab and change to emulator to the one you want to use. That specific game will then only use that emulator you linked to it.
  17. Retro808
    Are they actually missing from the box front images folder? Just want to confirm if they in fact are missing or simply not being linked to the game. If images are still there can you confirm if the name of the image matches either the rom name or the name of the game exactly as it appears in Launchbox? I had an issue where a metadata update changed the name of the game and a few images did not get linked because the name of the image and the game was now different.

    Launchbox does have trouble sometimes scraping the name of a chd file so it would have scraped it fine if in the "Ready to Import" screen you have changed the name to "Chaos Heat". When you edit the game just change the name there and rescrape. It should pull all the meta and images. You can point directly to a chd. I have it pointed directly to the chd file and it runs fine in LB/BB. It may not be working since Mame would traditionally look for the chd to be in the correct named folder. In this case yours is showing simply in your game folder. Mame would normally look for it in \chaoshea\chaosheat.chd format. Try putting it in that structure and see if it plays through LB.

    Seems to work fine. Never used that emulator and did not have Sega Saturn games in my Launchbox yet. So dowloaded the latest windows version from the UoYabause site and set it up and added a couple games. Had to find the right bios but the 2 games I added ran fine through Launchbox.

    Big box

    Retro808 replied to Indymac's topic in Troubleshooting

    Are you hitting enter on the keyboard or hitting a mapped button on the Tankstick?
  21. Retro808
    You have to scrape the game and when you do it will show you if there are any videos that will get downloaded along with images. Just adding your Emumovies account does not automatically do anything other than link your account to be able to download from Emumovies directly in Launchbox.
  22. Retro808
    Did you download any videos? Also in the theme you are using is it on a view that supports videos? Some views are image only depending on the theme.
  23. Retro808
    It should work automatically. What games/emulators have your tried it with? Is your Xarcade the newer tri-mode version? It would be helpful to see a pic as I mentioned.
  24. Retro808
    So in BigBox in keyboard automation you mapped 1) a hold key 2) a Close the active Window Key and 3) a Pause key correct? (I am sure you did, just confirming) Is it not working with any emulator or just certain ones? What keys did you map (share a pic of the keyboard automation if you can)?

    @Mr. RetroLust I do not usually use bezels but I have definitely used quite a few of these. Keep up the good work as always!
