If you do not delete the media and reimport the same games you deleted Launchbox will attach those existing media files. Just be sure to uncheck the download media options when you import the game. Launchbox will not duplicate games (unless you choose the option to force it to). It will see they are already there and not add them again. Even though the mame full rom set importer does not really import anything it will not list a game twice so you should have no issues. So it should just add the remaining games.

We have seen some issues like this. Typically Mame works well though. I personally have not had any issues in quite a bit with Mame since the pause feature was added. Are you using Mame or one of the offshoots like MameUI or Arcade64? Also are you using multiple monitors?

That's what I was answering. Is there not an option in the game's menu for borderless fullscreen? If not try F4 (or CTRL+F4) or look for a .ini file for video settings and see if you can edit there. If the game itself does not have a video option for this I am not sure how you can get rid of it.

BigBox has plenty of options to give it its own flare as well as the look from those front ends. BigBox Themes Unified, Unified Redux, and Unified Refried offer wheel views similar the hyperspin.

Launchbox should not affect if a game can run in windowed fullscreen or fullscreen. That is up to the game. The fullscreen options are typically in the games menus I would look there. All LB does is a send a command line to run the exe. When you run the game outside of Launchbox does the window menu bar still appear?

The one Neil is showing is Simple Detailed Pause theme. It can be located here.

BigBox does this without a plugin already. In your \Launchbox\Videos folder make sure Have a folder called “Startup” than drop all the videos in there. They can be named whatever you want them to be.

Looks nice. I did a similar graphic on one of my control panels. Sub-Zero on the Left Scorpion on the right. What is going in the big holes on the side of the cabinets? Something light-up?

@Krakerman The prior code @faeran gave you for you game specific backgrounds will work as well. Just make a little edit to the source and change the path to the correct folder structure and change the file type to .gif. Something like below. The x:Name can be anything you want to call it. Just make sure in the "ElementName" you reference the same name there. I use something similar to this for gifs. <TextBlock x:Name="GameGifs" > <TextBlock.Text> <MultiBinding StringFormat="{}pack://siteoforigin:,,,/StartupThemes/LBFade/Images/Gifs/{0}/{1}.gif"> <Binding Path="SelectedGame.Platform" /> <Binding Path="SelectedGame.Title" /> </MultiBinding> </TextBlock.Text> </TextBlock> <Image gif:ImageBehavior.AnimatedSource="{Binding Text, ElementName=GameGifs}" Stretch="UniformToFill" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" Height="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualHeight}" Width="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualWidth}" />

This is not possible. Themes can have unique views only by platform not by game.

That looks correct to what @jayjay posted.

Use the code @DOS76 gave you and place it in the Running AHK. Delete the Alt+F4 code. Then test and make sure it works hitting the Escape key on your keyboard. Then try the controller. In Launchbox what # button does it say your Start and Select buttons are? $Esc:: { WinClose, ahk_exe demul.exe }

Did you map your controller buttons for "Exit Game" in LB and "Close Active Window" BB?

You do not need both. I only posted the Send !{F4} as Dos had asked about it. Use the one Dos listed and try that first. Put it in the Running AHK.

That is only for when exiting from the Pause screen. You want to put it in the Running AHK tab.

To have Escape send Alt+F4 he can use the below code. The code @DOS76 gave should work. I have it in mine and it closes fine with gamepad or my arcade controls. ESC:: Send !{f4}

Try here.

@SpuRge Does the Ultimarc replicate keystrokes? The video I was using a game controller. Just tested my arcade which replicates keystrokes and had no issues as well. If it does replicate keystrokes make sure it is mapped in the keyboard automation section in BigBox.

That would be the issue than. Since you are using a rather old version of Mame there was a LB update that added a new command line that is needed for Pause them options to work. In your Mame emulator settings in Launchbox edit it an delete the portion that shows -keyboardprovider dinput. Mame should work now, but you cannot use the new Pause features until you update to a more current version of Mame.

Updates should never affect you existing rom paths and emulator setups. Prior to 10.6 what version were you on of Launchbox? Also what version of Mame are you using?

He did not post a roms folder because we do not allow posting of roms or linking to rom sites on the forum.

Also if you are having issues in Retroarch try changing Input driver to Raw. This was noted in another thread with the LLB/BB volume controls not working right with Retroarch.

It should work without needing to set in any emulator. I do not have it set in Mame and it works fine. I believe Jason said it is adjusting the Windows volume not the volume directly in Mame. At first I thought it did not work as well, but it turned out I had the volume directly in Mame and Retroarch set to low. In the video watch in the upper left. It is adjusting the Windows volume as it should and this is in Mame. Are you on Win7 or Win10? Also are you using a game controller or a joystick setup that replicates keystrokes? 2019-11-17 19-55-45_Trim.mp4

BigBox controls do not affect emulators they are only for BigBox. Those controls though should adjust the Windows volume. So you still should hear a volume change.

Just keep in mind when it is in the theme's video folder it can only be used by that theme. So if you change themes the video will not work with another theme. To have it so any theme can use it be sure to use the \Launchbox\Videos folder.
