What is the error message?

What exactly are you trying to do within the Manage Themes UI? The UI does allow you to apply themes you have already downloaded without being online. However, without being online you would not be able to see any updates to themes or new themes. Keep in mind the Manage themes UI would only show new updates for themes or new themes if the theme builder submitted the new theme or theme updates to the LB team for testing and then inclusion to the UI. The Theme manager would not show anything related to new updates or new themes for themes that are only submitted to the forum. Below are images of the UI not connected to the internet and the UI when connected. No Internet: Internet:

How are you changing the view? In the BB settings menus or via a designated key/button set to "Change View"?

👍

Yes. If you are importing them into a CPS platform make sure you set the “Scrape As” for the platform to “Arcade”.

Can you provide some pics. Just tested several platforms and no issues with it changing.

How did you file the theme? The theme needs to be unzipped and the main theme folder (the named folder) should be store in \LBThemes folder. So it should look like \Launchbox\LBThemes\Airy then inside the Airy folder is all the theme files and folders.

Been discussed in several threads and the recent 13.10 release has a fix for that.

This would depend on if your arcade stciks/buttons mimic keystrokes or gamepad inputs (xinput or dinput). If it is keyboard then there is a specific "Keyboard Automation" mapping section in BB. If it is gamepad (controller) than you just need to go to the "Controller Mapping" section. Of note: In either mapping section you want to map to the option called "Close Active Window". In controller automation you can map 2 buttons together in the "Close Active Window" by just hitting both buttons.

You say you imported a ROM pack. What method did you use to import and was it a full Mame Rom set or a ROM pack that was created by someone with select roms? Can you give an example of a game that does this. Also Share a couple pics related. 1. In LB right click and edit that game. Share a pic of the Metadata tab, Launching tab, and Emulation tab.

@RuHRoW If you need an older version please email support@unbrokensoftware.com and request a copy of 13.8 and advise you are on Win 7. @vince16 Please do not supply download links to LB that are not directly from our website. It is preferred users get it from the source to ensure it is an official copy.

No. Standalone is best.

Yes, CHD need to be downloaded separately. They do not come in the full Mame rom set. The default location is to place the CHD file inside of a folder that is named exaclty as the rom (the zipped rom) for the game and then that folder is place inside your roms folder. Example: NFL Blitz 2K Let's say your Mame rom are get in. \Launchbox\Games\Mame The file and structure for the CHD would look like: \Launchbox\Games\Mame\blitz2k\blitz2k.chd

Are you using Mame standalone or Mame in RA?

BB

If all you want is Arcade which would include Neo Geo go to Pleasuredome. Google Pleasuredome io and their git is the first result. Get the Mame rom set from them. Import those and let LB create the arcade playlists and it will make the SNK Neo Geo playlist for you. Don’t mess with a separate Neo Geo rom set. Easiest way to get things going.

What is going on is you can never edit any of LB or BB Default themes. They will always return to original code. This is done to ensure LB/BB always has a working theme. What you need to do is copy the Default theme and rename the copy whatever you want. Then you can edit that new theme. You need to then change BB to use that new theme.

It is not a case of not wanting to support. Here is Jason's response from a thread with the related error Win 7, 8, and 8.1 users are getting.

Glad you are sorted. As much as we would love for LB to "just work" out of the box for everyone there will always be some outliers due to the huge parity difference in Windows pc builds. Those command lines are the most common ones used that can get a majority of our average users up an running with little fuss.

Please see Jason's responses in this thread.

Possibly a user could create a plugin or an AHK script, but as it sits now LB does not have a binding for this.

@sersoft2008 What version Windows are you on?

this would likely need a custom theme made to turn them off in Discovery Center's current state. There is not a specific setting that was implemented.

You could also keep the other versions and just combine them together (In LB select both games and choose "Combine Selected Games). You can then set the non-cassette version as default that way it is the version laucnhed when clicked on. Then should you ever desire to play the other version it is available as an additional app via right click in LB and in BB is it available in the Game Details screen.

Locking thread. There is another thread for this same concern and Jason has already responded about LB and Windows OS that have reached their end of life support.
