@lemoncadebay I see the problem. You have the check box ticked for Remember Separate View for Each Platform. This allows you to set each platform to a different view. Uncheck that box then try changing the views.

It would be helpful to see images to get a better understanding. So when you get home post some pics. Also the post you linked I do not think there is an actual issue. Reading that post he mentions in the default theme Vertical Wheel 2-4 for games all look the same. Well that is because they do. The default theme did not have different style views for Vert 2-4. That post is not the same as you not seeing game clear logos. Jason built BigBox to allow theme creators options to create multiple views. Not all themes have views for all the different view styles Jason has available. Some only have maybe 2-3.

Did you download the images through Launchbox or just copy them into the folders? Can you post a pic of your game clear logos for your Arcade platform? (Just a pic that would show the folder structure and some of the file names in that folder. Just want to make sure you have them in the right spot.

As @neil9000 said you are indeed on Text List View.

Do you actually have clear logos downloaded for your games? The themes do not come with images for game clear logos. You have to import/download them. Can you share a pic of what you are seeing?

Two possible issues. 1. Perhaps you are in the Text List view. Each theme has several views you can switch between. One of which is an actual Text List View. You can map a button to "Change Views". If you go to Settings - Views you can tell what you are one. If it is Text List view change it. 2. If you are not in the Text View you may just need to refresh the image cache. In BigBox go to Settings - Image cache - Refresh all images.

Not sure if this is exactly the same as for the original poster. I have two of these style encoders. Each is a unique usb plugged into the pc. Windows sees them both only as "USB Generic Joystick". No numeric separation. In Mame they are seen as Joy1 and Joy2 so you can easily map player 1 and player 2 with no conflict. Launchbox however sees them as the same joystick. So for example the button I use for P1 start button, LB sees it only as "Button 12". If I hit the start button on the P2 side LB sees it as well as only "Button 12".

Same boat here. On a couple cabinets I have similar encoders. No real work around right now. Thankfully those two cabinets I only use Mame so I make sure Mame is mapped as I want. Mame does see them as Joy1 and Joy2 so things inside Mame work fine. I am not sure if this is something @Jason Carr ever really looked into. So I will tag him just in case. Especially since he expanded the controller mapping options.

@circo Keep up the good work. Speaking from a business mind many of us know what you do is not an easy process, let alone probably not one many do as a full-time job. The one time fee I paid for Emumovies is well worth the amount of images and videos I have already in my set-ups. Some folks just think they can do it better or know how it should be done, yet funny enough those people rarely ever even try.

Just to clarify...you said you created new “Category” per your first posts. Games cannot be imported into a “Category”. They can only be imported into “Platform”. This may be why they are not showing.

And look at that, you did sign up and participate. Thank you and welcome!

@CBeatt13 Does not need to do any of those things to be a hero. The fact that he is now part of Jason's team and can provide Jason some development help and further evolve Launchbox makes him hero enough. LB does not need HS themes to beat any competition. It never has even needed them to succeed. It has already proven that.

Up to 8-bit Processor now! Only 120 bits left! Well you do now carry the Launchbox forums Moderator title....? Good as long as he is giving you some sun light. Even if it is still during hard labor sessions.

chirp chirp Welcome Christian! Please tell us Jason is at least letting you out of the basement once a day to see the sun??

You could probably try to make a playlist using a custom field as the parameter. If you right click and edit a game there is a tab for "Custom Fields". You could create a field called "Top 100" and then in the Value field populate each game 1 to 100. Then create a new Playlist. Choose the Auto-Populate option and in the dropdown list you should see the name of the custom field you created it. Choose it and then set a comparison option. I am not sure which comparison option will work best you will have to test and see.

Just before the end of the import wizard on this screen below.

There is not an option to do this, but are you talking about in Launchbox or BigBox?

Take a look here. Jason's first posts advises how you can correct. You can either delete the Settings.xml or edit it.

Try following Lordmonkus post in this thread. Should be the 5th post down. Per Retroarch you can run a command line option to get it to launch Neo Geo CD without needing to go into the submenu. Launchbox is basically sending command lines to RA so what Monkus describes does work.

We did see some earlier issues with bindings. Once some users cleared them and then rebound the controls it worked again. So likely a similar scenario.

Well it is a step forward. Odd that in Launchbox when set to "P" and using the keyboard Mame will not go to the Launchbox Pause Menu. Try changing back to "P" and testing the p key on your keyboard again.

Can you go into the Game Pause option in Launchbox, hit clear and then click in the box with P and set it to a button on your Tank stick and then launch a mame game from Launchbox and test using the button you set? I just tested setting it to the right bumper button (Shows as D4) and for me Pause Menu still works. I just want to see if changing it from P to something on your Tankstick will work. If it does not I am at a loss.

Can you share some pics. In Launchbox: >Tools>Options and share a pic of the Game Pause settings. In BigBox. Go to the Settings>Options>Keyboard Mappings: Scroll to bottom and share pic of what you have set for Pause. Then go to Keyboard Automation and share a pic of those settings.

And pressing P while in Mame does not send you to the Launchbox Pause it only pauses mame directly? Is this in LaunchBox or BigBox or both it does not work?

That might explain the Launchbox issue. I use the same devices. For the tankstick I assume you are using standard keyboard inputs? If so, in Launchbox, the Tankstick will not work as you can only set 1 keyboard input for pause. So if in Launchbox it is set to "P" and not a key your tankstick can trigger Mame will not Pause to the Launchbox Pause Menu. It will only pause directly in Mame. In BigBox it should work because you can set a combo and it will send "P" to Mame. What do you use to initiate Pause on the Tankstick.
