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.

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

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. 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

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.

OK, well not really sure what that means, but as long as you are sorted that is all that matters.

It is in the Options menu in both Launchbox and BigBox. Look for "Game Pause".

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.

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?

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?

Do the games run directly in the Model 2 emulator without using Launchbox?

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, 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.

Instructions from where? Where exactly or how are you wanting the clear logos to show? Are you referring to LaunchBox or BigBox specifically? Maybe share an image of what you are trying to set/fix? The actual clear logo images though need to be named exactly as each game is named and is stored in your \Launchbox\Images\Future Pinball\Clear Logos folder. In BigBox you may need to go into the settings and then Image Cache option and refresh the image cache as well.

Yeah, The first step I mentioned is only in Launchbox. Since you are directly editing settings for emulator use that is only done in Launchbox and would affect BigBox as well. The second part is global setting for Launchbox and/or BigBox since changing it affects all emulators at once.

If you only want to not have the shutdown show, but still want to have the Startup screen show you will have to go into the Edit Emulator for each emulator you set up and untick the "Enable Game Shutdown Screen" in the Statup screen tab. If you do not want either you can simply go to Launchbox\Tools\Options and in the Game Startup up untick "Use Game Startup" and this will stop them both. The same option exists in BigBox if you use BigBox.

I am not sure on that. Looking at some of the plugins created by our users I would think it should be possible. I will check with Jason and the other mods to confirm.

It is a discussion because it is something that people are looking for feature wise. No different than someone wanting any one of the numerous features that have and will be requested. Arguing against it is likely moot anyways as Jason has said it is something he wants as well. So fair warning lets keep it civil.

@Thinman123 No worries. Glad you are sorted.

Change the format I am not sure on. I took a look at the code and Fraeran is using a plugin. To delete it I do know if you go into the xaml for the view you are using, so lets say you are using view HorizontalWheel1 you would go into the them folder and in the Views folder edit the HorizontalWheel1GamesView.xaml then look for the section with "Date and Time" and delete the line below. <aoc:DigitalClock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" FontFamily="{StaticResource ScoutBlack}" FontSize="50" Foreground="#1c393d" Opacity="0.6" DockPanel.Dock="Right" /> I just tested and it did remove the clock and did not break the theme.

Currently there is only a setting for 2 screens (1. Main screen 2. Marquee). Request for a 3rd screen has not been made too often so I do not recall seeing Jason mention anything about adding 3rd screen functionality at this point. It may be something that would get added when he looks at updating the marquee screen functionality. But that is something that will occur down the road.

In your BigBox go to Options then keyboard or controller settings and map a key/button to "Switch View" this will allow you to be in the theme directly and change views on the fly. This way you can see what it changes to versus changing in the settings and then backing out.

Not currently. It has been something requested. I believe Jason said he has it on his list of features he would like to get added at some point.

What version Mame are you using? If it is an old one and you are on a current version it is likely due to the new Startup and Pause screen functions in Launchbox. You will have to go into Launchbox and edit your Mame emulator set-up. In the default command line box delete the portion of the script that has "-keyboardprovider dinput". I do not remember exactly but I think this affects Mame versions before either the .180's or .170's @garrett521 I cannot help with your RocketLauncher issue as I do not use it. We do have a small group of users on the forum that do hopefully one will chime in.
