My Screen is 1366x768..but I thought I once remembered getting the resolution to change even though it's been about forever since I last messed with any of it until today. All I see is things under the Video tab now instead of a place to actually set the resolution size which I guess once was used in a different version. I've always kept it as "Double (Default)" though

What version are you using? 

[10.2-beta-1 Released]

@RULLUR Pause works in Kega Fusion you just need to set Window Size and Resolution to something that works. What settings are you using for those? I notice if you set resolution to something far below your actual monitor you get the issue you mention. @Jason Carr I believe this was mentioned in the Great Emulator testing thread. 

[Game videos - best source for full screen videos of gameplay for games/roms]

The Bigbox toggle you suggested worked perfectly, thanks. Though, now the low resolution of the videos show their, well, lack of resolution. I'm sure I had high resolution checked, but may have told it to prioritize Launchbox videos instead of EmuMovies. 

I assume you are talking about the game play videos. If so, game play videos do not come from Launchbox. Those are Emumovies. So the prioritization of Launchbox over Emumovies will affect images not videos for a game.  There are options for Steam Videos and BigBox Cinematics in the Launchbox media download tab, but those rarely show a result.

 What is the best way to redownload videos and get rid of all the lower resolution ones, and ensure I get the higher resolution videos? I assume I just delete all the videos out of the, for example, Z:\LaunchBox\Videos\Nintendo 64 folder. Then go into Launchbox, highlight all the N64 games and go to Tools>Download Platform/Playlist Theme Videos ... then check the box next to Nintendo 64, and change the dropdown menu and choose a different source, such as "Colorful 4K".

Somewhat correct. You can delete them if you want. That''s up to you. The steps you mention are for platform videos. The videos that actually represent the different platforms not that actual game play videos. What you will want to do is select all the games for a platform and go to >Tools>Download Metadata and Media and then when you get to the Emumovies screen make sure low res video options are unchecked. There are a couple others ways to do this like through the audit tool, but the steps will be pretty much the same. 

 

 

[Theme Videos vs. Snaps]

What two file formats are you seeing? All my files are mp4.

They are the same in that they are video file but Neil described the difference in their look. 

[Game videos - best source for full screen videos of gameplay for games/roms]

The types of videos yoou described are typically called Theme Gameplay videos. If you downloaded them using the Launchbox importer when it gets to the Emumovies tab there is a check box for Theme Videos. You can leave that unchecked and it will not download them if ones exist for a game. Also in BigBox in the Video settings there is a checkbox for Prioritize Game Theme video. Leave that unchecked as well. 

 

[While removing images using the Audit feature, I've sometimes been getting a "Could not remove image file" error (image inside).]

Yeah it has been reported a few times.

[While removing images using the Audit feature, I've sometimes been getting a "Could not remove image file" error (image inside).]

I believe this has been reported in the beta threads. Beta 7 I think has a fix. 

[LaunchBox and MAME BIOS files help needed...]

40 minutes ago, darrenmarchand said:

Hi,

 

How do I tell Mame where to look for the Bios files? The Bios files I have are named exactly the same as the Mame roms, so it tries to overwrite. I created a new folder called bios, but I'm not exactly sure how to tell Mame where to look.

thx

The bios should not be named the same as the Mame roms. Each bios required by Mame has its own unique name.  They typically get stored with the roms.

here's a pic from my pc, my display is a samsung tv full hd at 1080p, I use an nvidia geforce 960 on windows 10 latest

OK. Until I can figure out how to code a fix that can adjust based on display scaling you will just need to edit the Default.xaml and anywhere you see the below font code just change it to a smaller number. For me the font shows correct even at 125% but I do not use a TV so that might be the difference. 

FontSize="28"

You should see 10 lines with that FontSize in it. Change it to something like 24 or 22. 

[Problems with Launchbox, MAME 0.78 set and retroarch]

I merged your threads. Posting in two different subforums will not speed up answers. It is a small community so a bit of patience is needed otherwise being pushy will likely see your thread ignored.  

If your roms works in RA then why would you download a new set?

If they work in RA and not in Launchbox you have a disconnect in your Launchbox settings most likely. 

Share pics of the following from Launchbox:

1: Edit your Retroarch emulator. Share pics of the Details tab and the Assoicated Platforms tab. 

2: Edit one of your Mame game and share pics of the Launcher tab and Emulation tab. 

 

[Arcade.xml error (fixed but reporting issue)]

What likely happened is that forced shutdown did not allow Launchbox to save the Arcade.xaml file correctly. I am sure if you open that corrupted xaml line 252340 will be the last line in your file and you will see corrupted data symbols there. 

[Scrape as list when importing shows up twice.]

Are you talking about in the edit platform screen? I do not see it repeating.

Sadly, I'm afraid its too niche for Jason's taste to give it the attention it deserves. 

I believe Jason did take a look at it and found at the current time it was a bit problematic to implement so tabled it for now. Jason has shown us he works on things the users vote for as a priority. I do not think Jason's taste has anything to do with it.

I FOUND THE PROBLEM it was wayyyyy more complicated then that but thank you

So what was the problem in case anyone else cannot get it to work. 

It was a simple set up and should work easily so it would be great to see in case anyone else has trouble.

Sure. Thx. when I am in the console select no video plays. When im in game select no video plays for the game. Not sure If i have to get the videos and put them in. on ETA`s YT videos his just look different.. like his console select icons. 

Yes, videos need to be downloaded. They are not provided by theme creators due to the size of data that would need to be stored.  

Also the clear logos can be different as those can all be downloaded in the style that you want.

So im new to launchbox, and I followed some videos on youtube on how to set up mame. I donated for big box, and also donated for emumovies. It copied way more games than I owned, and some games like metal slug 2, is the wrong file. It shows photos for metal black, so i'm unable to play metal slug 2 on launch box. 

Did you use the Mame full set importer option? If so that it why. The full set importer option is for if you actually have a full Mame rom set. If you do not you need to import the individual roms by either dragging and dropping them into Launchbox or using the import wizard to select the individual files.

125% and 150% show the issue but I always use 125%

What about the resolution? Is the text too big, too small? More information is always helpful. 

I get no issues with 125% but I use a 16:9 1080. At 150% the font is smaller so will look at how I can make that auto adjust if possible. 

In the mean time you can edit the xaml file and change anywhere the code shows  FontSize="28" to either a smaller or larger font size based on what you need.

@DragoonDemon4 What exact resolution and scaling are you running? Can you also post a pic of the issue?

Hi, I have an issue with the text when my screen is scaled more than 100%, that's the only issue im running right now, no issue with sound yet.

I will try to see if there is a way I can have to text autoscale with something like this. I am sure there is a way. My code knowledge is entry level. Thanks for letting me know. I will see what I can do and post a fix.

I'm sure there're many ways to do the same thing.  Retro808's script will work (as he confirmed) as long as the emu doesn't change versions.  

With SetTitleMatchMode set to "2", you could just have "SameBoy" in the parenthesis. Then you're for sure covered.

Alternate:

Process,Wait,sameboy.exe        ;wait here until 'my_program.exe' is running
Sleep,2000                      ;wait to make sure it's loaded (2 seconds. Can be changed)
WinActivate,ahk_exe sameboy.exe ;set (make sure) my_program is the active window
send, ^f                        ;Ctrl F

Again, same result.

Thanks Joe. That's what I was thinking after I posted it. A lot of your scripts helped me slowly try to understand things with AHK. I was just testing something more the lines of what you posted. The one I used above was modified off of something you helped me with in the past.
