Ok no probs I have progress on it and doesn't pull up an error now but have given up for now as its getting very frustrating but will get there eventually
What is the resolution of the monitor? It should likely just need a repositioning of the image in the xaml.

I had a similar issue on another cabinet. It is a Windows 10 pc. I stumbled across a thread (I think it was on arcade controls forum) that mentioned making sure a couple older C++ and DirectX versions were installed. On that pc I added those two and the crashes stopped. I will try to find that thread also where I found the tip. The last couple cabinets I built Model 2 worked fine without me having to do this. So, not sure if this will help you or not, but worth a look.

Well still having issues
I did try to run this on my main gaming rig with a GTX 1080ti video card and same issue as my HP Prodesk in my 1up. I'm running Win 10 on both are there any known issues with that running on 10? what about Direct X versions?
What exactly happens? When you try and run a game directly in the emulator does it crash, go to black screen, or nothing?

How do you do this? I do not see any global settings. Sorry, I have no idea what I am doing.
Just open Retroarch without launching a game and without launching a core. Go the the input settings and map what you need. Make sure to then "Save Current Config" so it save what you did and that will set it as the global inputs. Whenever you then launch a core that you did not set a core config mapping for it will use that global setting.

Ok, thanks for the education. Guess we'll see what happens.
Not sure why you have to wait to see what happens things are already happening. While Jason has developed the first release of Android version we got a couple betas released as well. Even while Jason was developing Music Box, development on LaunchBox features still came at a consistent pace. I see no signs of LaunchBox taking any back seat.
Happy to see Jason possibly adding new users to his software and giving others another platform to have fun with.

Guys
I have downloaded the latest release of Redream and cannot get it to run games in LB or on its own. The previous release ran fine. Any ideas?
Thanks
Chris
Double check make sure you have your rom path set. Current version works fine directly in the emulator and in Launchbox.
Did you do a fresh install or just overwrite the old one with the new exe?

Can someone help I wanted the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console added so I did and instead of making a separate section it went into Wii. I see it in Launchbox but don't see them in BigBox. How do I see them?
In Launchbox right click the name of the Wii Virtual Console platform and choose edit. In the parents tab you can check the box where you want that platform to show. Just make sure to uncheck any other ticked boxes.

There's plenty of downloads available, but I can't find very many templates. I want some front/back 3D box artwork and in some cases, I prefer the fanart boxarts over the official ones. If someone could tell me where I could find some PSD templates, especially if they have templates for the various Blu-Ray sized cases, I'd appreciate it.
If none of the sites referenced had what you want maybe post an image of the style you are looking for to see if anyone has a psd of that style.

I downloaded yuzu and dolphin but when i try installing yuzu says im missing a file then in dolphin i unzipped it after downloading it and it says when i click on it says missing file
Are you downloading directly from the Yuzu and Dolphin sites?
Dolphin and Yuzu downloads as an .exe file and so you would not need to unzip. You just run the installer.

Hi there i have a pc i5 9400f and gtx 1660oc 6gb and 16gb ram now iv been trying to install emulators like yuzu and dolphin both say missing file and i havent installed it yet.. Cant install them been trying to use retroarch no games load even with cps1 but dolphin on retroarch cant load games in retroarch or launchbox only platform i have working 100% is sega cd plz help thanx got premium version for life time
Your post is a bit confusing. You say you have "been trying to install emulator like yuzu and dolphin and both say missing file" Then you proceed to say "I havent installed it yet" So which is it? Did you install it or not?
With the CPS1 issue you know you have a thread from Sunday that one of our other mods tried to help you on here. Did you go back and look at what he recommended and try it?
Certain emulators and some games in emulators will require some additional files like bios files, sound files, chd files, and other various things. So you really should take a look at tutorials to give you a good start. It is hard to tell you what is wrong or what you need to do without accurately knowing what you actually did.
So I would recommend go one system at a time. Take a look at your CPS1 thread and follow his tips and try to get that one working next. Then move on to another system.
Set up an emulator first and test games in it before you try to add anything to Launchbox. This eliminates it being an emulator issue if we need to troubleshoot.

Hello,
I am making a summer project with my kids and I am stumped. I set up a Full size arcade. Most everything is wired and working fine. I can use the USB joystick and buttons to move around Big Box and select the games. The buttons all work on the games just fine, even the Coin/1p/2p buttons are fine. But I cannot find out how to Exit the games once I am in one except for using the ESC button on a Keyboard. I want to only have to use the USB joystick for this. How to I set up a button to allow me to exit active games? Any help would be great. I have 10 buttons for both 1st and 2nd players.
In both Launchbox and BigBox there is a controller automation setting. You set the button you want to "hold" (the hotkey) and then set the button you want to "exit" (the action key) in either of these settings.
In the Launchbox image below you set the "Hold this button" and the "Close the active window" options.

Understood. Do you have the proper clear logo downloads for us?
You will have to use the ones in our forum downloads section or source your own.
The forum has a large download section for lots of media ranging from clear logos, box art, marquee, videos, and so on. Just click the "Downloads" section at the top

Tried it, nothing happened.
Do you have a clear logo downloaded for PS1? If not you need to download one. Once downloaded make sure it is named exactly as how you named the PS1 platform in Launchbox then you will need to likely refresh the image cache.
5 hours ago, static said:Got the same issue for Sony PlayStation, Sony PlayStation 2, and SNK Neo Geo Pocket Color and am looking for the files to manually install in the image folders
Like I told Smellbringer make sure you name the file correctly. It must match how you have each one named in Launchbox. The clear logos are stored in each platforms specific Clear Logo folder.
Example for Sony Playstation: (folder path and file name)
\Launchbox\Images\Platforms\Sony Playstation\Clear Logo\Sony Playstation.png

It means they had good intentions, but I was not liking it.
Am I in the right century?
Thanks again though!
No I get what you meant, just the "I like my Mame where my Mame is" bit was odd since Pause menu option did nothing to affect your Mame. It just added a feature you can use or not.
We are always happy to help and you are very welcome.

Thanks! the heart was in the right place, but I like my MAME where my MAME is. LOL
OK, well not really sure what that means, but as long as you are sorted that is all that matters.

Yeah, thanks, I can't remember how to turn it off.
It is in the Options menu in both Launchbox and BigBox. Look for "Game Pause".

How do I turn off your new in game menu again?
In game Menu?
Do you mean the new Pause screen feature?

I believe you would need to add a command line to tell Mame to run the console. For example for Sega Genesis in the "Default Command Line" box you would put "genesis -cart" but do not include the " ". It has been a while since I messed with consoles in Mame. I am not sure what it would be for AdventureVision. It is probably "advision -cart". It is usually a short name such that GameBoy Advance would be "gba -cart".
The Associated Platform tab is where you enter the exact platform name you imported games into for the emulator that will run those games. So what you did was exactly the purpose of the Associated Platforms tab.

No they don’t.
Something is not set right then in Model 2. You really only need to set the path. My roms folder does not have a model2.zip and it works fine. That zip file is not really a bios file. It just contains a bunch of common files used by several games. So if those games already have those files in their zip it makes the model2.zip unnecessary. I am not sure where you got your roms from so your files may need to model2.zip.
Can you share a pic of inside your .ini file showing the rom path?

Hi, ill take a look for it. Suprised that it doesnt work for me. Did you do any specific configuration for MAME or you all leaved at default? I find it pretty strange that it doesn't work... I checked the associated platforms fields and I don't have any errors.
Can you share a pic of your Associated Platforms tab for Mame and a pic of the platform list on the left side of Launchbox showing the platform names for these 2 systems?

I was hoping that someone here has had success with getting games like house of the dead and Daytona working on the sega model 2 emu. I changed the roms dir in the ini file and still not working. I keep seeing something about a model2.zip file, that needs to be placed in the roms folder but I can not for the life of me find anything on it or where to even get it. Help
Do the games run directly in the Model 2 emulator without using Launchbox?

B) ...Wouldn't it be better to solve the problem once and for all by finding the culprit?...
Sounds to me like your old launchbox build got corrupted and is the culprit.
New install plus fresh data = no issue.
New install plus copying over old data = issue.
I would continue to test the fresh install adding games and editing data to see if it stays issue free or does not.

Have you tried a clean install at all? If your Launchbox is corrupted somehow and you are just transferring the same files to a different drive or pc it is still corrupted files. Sure, I am looking at it in simple terms of troubleshooting, but without knowing if you have tried this it is a missing piece. I would test a fresh install, import only a few games and test making changes to those games to see if it still occurs and I would try on a different drive and folder location.
I am not saying it is in no way possible a bug (anything is possible), but the probabilities of your specific system finding a bug that no one else has experienced in the years Launchbox has been in action is pretty astronomical.

Okay to be clear it’s the wheel clear game logos. It’s for BigBox. I’ll have to look but it may be that they’re not named exactly the same as the game I’m using it for.
Okay, for that you need to just make sure they are in the folder I mentioned and the images are named exactly as the games are named. Then once done go into BigBox and go to the settings. Look for the option for the image cache and then refresh the image cache.

Nice, Glad that got you sorted.
