Well if you were on a version before 9.2 then one thing that will cause issues with Rocketlauncher are the new Startup screens that were implemented in 9.2. Startups within Launchbox and Startups from Rocket Launcher will not work together. You will have to turn off one of them. Not saying that is what is causing this issue, just letting you know it is something known to not work together. There has been a recent Windows 10 update that mixed with things like Riva Tuner/MSI Afterburner and even virus protection like Kaspersky has caused issues with the recent Launchbox updates. If you are using any of those turn them off and test some games. Are you on Win7 or Win10? I do not use RL so cannot really comment much more on troubleshooting with it. Just giving some heads up on issues we have recently seen.

Yeah Riva Tuner has been know for quite a while now to cause issues every now and then. We will usually recommend adding an exception to it for Launchbox and BigBox exe's.

Do you have the keyboard or controller automation buttons/keys mapped in Launchbox for what you want to hit to exit a game? What tab do you have the AHK script in? The running tab is where is primarily goes. That is the AHK that will always be available while in an emulator. The Exit tab is for exiting a game while you are in the Pause Menu. So you can have it in both. I would change the script though to the one below. The original is a hard closing of the emulator. The one below will shut it down properly and not risk losing a save state. $Esc:: { WinClose, ahk_exe pcsx2.exe }

Which tab do you ave the Exit AHK in? Can you share a pic of how you have it set-up?

Do you have your video playback set to WMP or VLC in Launchbox/BigBox?

We had another member who reverted back to pre 1903 and things went back to normal.

So on the pc not working you are on Windows update with 1903? Are you also running anything like MSI Afterburner/Riva Tuner/Corsair iCUE software?

Windows 10 or Win 7?

Try disabling Cosair's iCUE on startup and reboot pc and run Launchbox to see if anything changes. We had an issue with certain Corsair keyboards and Launchbox. Maybe it is the iCUE software.

Clear logos for the platforms need to be named exactly as your platform is named in Launchbox. For example if you have it named SNK NeoGeo MVS than the clear logo is name SNK NeoGeo MVS.png Folder location would be: \Launchbox\Images\Platforms\[Platform Name]\Clear Logo

Did you add these command lines to any of the associated platforms you are trying to run?

You should be able to adjust the aspect ratio of the images in >Launchbox>Tools>Visuals>Spacing. Adjust the slider to make the images wider or taller and then back in Launchbox at the bottom of the screen on the right is a slider bar you can adjust as well to fine tune how many are showing at once.

@DOS76 I did not even think of that. We did have a couple threads a good while back about a similar issue. Edited: @thegreatiandi not sure if this will solve the issue, but it might be worth a read.

No worries. I will try to mess around with your file if I can and see what I can do. I always like tinkering. I think though that the marquee views will always try in some shape to show a marquee and then default to the image priorities you have set in your box image priorities. I think it is the original way Jason coded it into BigBox. At least from what I can remember when I started messing with marquee xamls that he had told me. You should have no issue showing though the game clear logo, game text, and the marquee. I was able to get it to all show that from your existing file.

Glad you are back in order. You should have no issue getting the Xarcade all set with Mame. I use it on one of my cabinets with no issues.

The gamemargueeview.xaml may not be able to show platform data/images. I have never been able to get it to on any marquee edits I have done. Jason did advise he will eventually update marquee support to be a bit more robust. That may not be anytime soon though as Jason has his poll list to work through. Also what is weird is your xaml shows for me exactly the same thing, but in the line for the game clear logo if I add a Panel.ZIndex value into it the theme will show the clear logo instead. <Image Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Source="{Binding Path=SelectedGame.ClearLogoImagePath}" Panel.ZIndex="9" />

For anyone experience audio bleed issue in any emulator please read the theme description. I have update notes on how to solve. Thanks to @Charco for troubleshooting.

We have seen it cause issues. Try adding an exception for Launchbox and see if that helped. It was mentioned in a few other posts that this helped some other users.

@Thunderbird1400 Any chance you are using Anything like Riva Tuner/MSI Afterburner?

Yeah that was what I thought weird. Other emulators had no issues. I am not sure if it is the issue for you or not but just make sure your USB ports are not set to suspend. I think there is a way to set your controllers to a stable ID. There is a Youtube video that showed how. I will try to find it. The guy had a channel dedicated to arcade cabinet stuff.

So is the issue RA is showing the controller on a different Port # each time you start a game in Retroarch? I had a similar issue on one cabinet because the USB ports were set to selective suspend. When a game would launch and the port was active it would reassign it to another port # in Retroarch. Make sure the USB ports are not set to selective suspend in your

Did you download to right file? The download initially will only have a .dll and an assests folder with files inside it.

Do you have it in the folder it was inside within the zipped file? I believe it should be extracted with the folder. So it would be \LaunchBox\Plugins\PCSX2 Configurator Next\[all the configurator files]

Could be just a connection issue to the server. Just tested that game and a couple others on several cabinet setups and they all downloaded fine. How are you trying to manually add the images? Are you selecting them to add from the edit game screens?

Big Fade Start View File Big Fade Start is a compliment to the Big Fade pause theme previously released. The startup theme shows game metadata contained in a gradient transparent list box. A fanart background that is faded away at the bottom to allow clear view of a platform specific startup video and gameplay screen shot. The platform specific video is used to play a platform's boot video (SNK NeoGeo, Xbox, and Playstation systems for example). In the absence of a system having an original boot video, or the user not having one in place; the theme will play a default video. Only a portion of platform boot videos are provided in the theme as well as a default video. Additional boot videos will added later or can be added by user. Important notes about videos: 1. A user can add or change videos for any platform. Simply place a video file in the theme's \Videos folder and name it exactly as the platform is named in your specific setup. 2. The default video can be replaced by adding your own and naming the file "_Default.mp4" 3. In emulators that may take longer to load than the duration of the video in place the theme will continue to loop the video until the emulator fully loads and take control. YOu can see this occur in the demo video with Sammy Atomiswave. 4. IMPORTANT: There is a minor issue with audio from videos playing in a Startup theme and it is something determined by our Launchbox developer that cannot be fixed at this time. Audio from the video will bleed into the start of emulation until the emulator officially takes over. It does not occur with all emulators and It is only about 1-2 seconds if it does occur. For any emulator this affects perform the steps below: To fix audio bleed issue: 1. In Launchbox go to >Tools>Manage Emulators. 2. Select the emulator the audio bleed is affecting and edit it. 3. In the "Startup Screen" tab change the "Startup Load Delay" to 1 second. Click "OK" and close. Image Priorities: Recommend in your Launchbox Image Priorities for Background moving clear logos further down the list of not using at all. This theme will resize and crop clear logos since the theme was designed for fanart primarily. Installation (Requires Launchbox 9.8 or higher) Theme was tested and works on a 4:3 screen as well.
