Gotcha. Yeah, Updates will only show if the creator submitted it for approval. If they do, it first has to be tested by Jason before he releases the update inside BigBox.

All theme updates for the user are manual. You either initiate through BigBox if the theme maker added it there or download from the forum.

Some quick work done. Theme will show a game's specific controls if they exist. If not, it will default to a platform level control image. All images must be placed in a specific folder path. Not sure how quickly I will finish, but at least started on it. This is just a quick mock-up so it may change looks. The Xbox 1 controller images are not mine I just grabbed from from our forum to test with. The structure will be something like: For platform level controls \Images\Game Controls\[Platform Name.jpg] For game level controls \Images\Game Controls\[Platform Name]\[Game Name.jpg]

I have set up both r777 and r783. Video setting is just set to 1920x1080 and neither have compatibility checked.

What version of the emulator are you using. I have no issues with Pause screens. I do run it at 1080p though.

All prior versions you have used are in your updates folder. Just run the one you want.

No worries. Glad the image is sorted.

Try refreshing your image cache. Sometime I find some clear logos do not stick when I change a theme and on occasion need to refresh the cash. The 7 prior posts are talking about this.

Yes. I currently have a version doing that.

It can be done using a custom folder structure in the meantime. I will tweak a theme in the next few days (depending in work). Would require putting all the controller images in a custom folder structure and then the theme will point to it. Since it is not a coded binding built into LB the path would have to match what the theme is coded for. Or is someone decides they want a different path that person would need to edit the theme to point to that path.

Cool. Glad it is sorted.

Ok. Remove the AHK you have in the Exit AHK tab. It is not needed. Even the default text in the tab tells you an AHK is not needed since Dolphin uses "Escape" by default. The "Exit AHK" tab is only used for the Pause menu's exit command if one is needed, but for Dolphin it is not. Does it work with it removed from there?

Is the issue exiting from within the game or from the Exit option in the Pause menu? If it is from within the game you need to make sure your AHK is inside the "Running AHK" tab. Also I recommend changing that AHK for Exit you have. That version is a hard close and can, in some emulators, mess with save states when closing. The one below is better to use. $Esc:: { WinClose, ahk_exe {{{StartupEXE}}} }

This can easily be done. You really do not need a custom folder. Just use the Arcade - Controls Information folder for this (slight downside is that Mame images will override any custom you make, I just do not download those). Would be nice to have its own folder though. It can also also be done by platform as well. That way in the case of like NES no need to make an image for each game. I have a theme that does this on my daughter's cabinet. Never released it since many of the added layer images are custom for her. I could probably clean it of all that and release it.

In your updates folder inside the Launchbox folder is all the past versions you used. You can launch one of those to reinstall a past version.

You can place any "Platform" or any "Playlist" under any "Category". It does not affect cores used with an associated platform. The "Category" simply is that a category and has no affect on any emulator you assigned to a platform nor the core that platform may use if assigned to Retroarch. In Launchbox simply edit the platform then go to the Parents tab and select the category you want it to show up under. You can even create a new category and call it what you want.

No it is not something that will likely get fixed quickly since it is not something major.

Without seeing what you are seeing it is hard to tell you what needs to be done. It could be any number of things. Can you share a pic of what you see with the theme?

Yeah I do not think meta data only loving users are keeping Launchbox from being left behind. That's quite a reach there. Launchbox is doing just fine providing a great functional and customizable frontend for those who love playing their emulated systems, arcade roms and pc games. But hey who am I to argue with all the users we see and those constantly sharing, providing feedback, and seeking assistance in our forum, Discord, Reddit, Bitbucket and Youtube page.

Right click in the area where your platform names appear (the left hand pane of LaunchBox) and the option will appear. Choose "Add" and Choose "New Category".

No worries, but @DOS76 and @Lordmonkus are the better experts in the differences with Mame. I just remember what they taught me. So take their advice any time you see it.

No. Non-merged contains everything for a game to run in one zip.

Dos's answer is pretty much answering what you are asking. There is not an easy way and you cannot use Launchbox playlists to move them. It is not only a rom/parent/clone rom issue it is support file issue as well. CHD files, bios files, or other support files that games in Mame may need but Launchbox does not care about. Non-merged set would be the best to do this with and again there is no feature in LB to do the moves based on those playlists.

Can you be more specific. What exactly is not working? Controlling inside Launchbox, controlling a game launched from Launchbox? Since iPac is basically a keyboard LB does not have key mappings for keyboard encoders. Launchbox only has mapping optons for a game controller. You mostly move around with the mouse. Game wise you need to make sure you bind your buttons directly in the emulator.

No. BigBox does not auto update. It is a manual process. Viking likely did not code a dark mode for text (TextGamesView) since there is only 1 text view option. He would have to choose between defaulting to a white or dark.
