/Launchbox/Images/Platforms/(Platform Name)/Clear Logo Then go into BigBox settings and look for options/Image Cahe then choose refresh all images. Anytime you add new images you have to also refresh the cache.

Ninja'd by the great one. LOL

GridBlocked Startup Theme View File Decided to mess around some more looking at code and learning more. So I set out to look at adding gif, linking metadata, and linking images to metadata since I do not use the details screen in BigBox. So here is what I put in another little theme. Once again, I am not a coder so if anyone peaks at the xml file and sees some fixes or a better way please let me know. I am all ears. Or if you have ideas on how to make the theme look nicer fire away. Icons used in the theme came from BigBox themes by @CriticalCid and @Mr. Retrolust so big thanks to them. (Slightly modified from their original versions.) I claim no credit to any artwork displayed or included in the theme. IMPORTANT: Launchbox 9.3 or higher required for Startup Themes. Version 1.0 Theme will show fanart background blurred 20%, Metadata text contained in a view box, and 3 metadata logos (Favorite, Your Personal Star Rating, and ESRB), along with large 3D Box and Cart/Disc. Startup theme view for non CD based games will show the cartridge image slide in from the right. Startup theme for CD based games will show the CS slide in from the right and spin. Shutdown view will show the fanart background blurred with blinking "Game Over" text. Installation: Download the GridBlocked.zip and unzip it into the Launchbox/StartupThemes folder. Install the supplied fonts. (Working on figuring out how to have it so the fonts do not need to be loaded. So once I can do that I will update the theme) In Launchbox go to Tools>Options>Game Startup and choose the appropriate named theme. In Launchbox make sure for Cart Front Image Priorities you have "Disc" checked and listed as top item. If you need to add other disc based systems to the startup theme simply copy any cd based xml file in the theme's folder and paste into the same folder then rename the file exactly as your platform name appears in Launchbox.

What theme are you using? With the new version on Launchbox theming was updated and many themes needed to be patched to work with the changes. You may need to see if the theme creator released a recent update and install the newest version.

In Launchbox right click your Genesis platform name and choose edit. Go to the parents tab and make sure you have it checked to show under consoles.

Edit the emulator in Launchbox and make sure you are pointing to the actual Mame.exe and not the zip file from when you downloaded Mame.

How did you do it? There is actually an old way which changed several versions ago and is no longer valid. if you placed a video in the /Launchbox/Video folder and named the video file startup then that is no longer valid. Now you simply create a folder called startup inside the /Launchbox/Videos folder and place any videos you want in there and they can be any name. Example: /Launchbox/Videos/Startup/[VideoFile].mp4 You can use any length video and multiple videos as BigBox will randomly use on on startup.

BigBox you can lock so users cannot back out to the settings and alter them. That is the only current lock feature.

Set the exit hook directly in Retroarch. It is pretty easy. Open RA and in the menu go to the Gears Icon menu and scroll down to Input. In the input menu select Input Hot Key Binds. In this menu set a control/key for "Enable Hot Key" (this would be the control/key you press and hold to activate the control/key you chose for Exit) then set a control/key for "Quit".

Yes

Could be a few things. 1. Make sure Mame can launch the games outside of Launchbox. If it does not confirm in Mame you have it pointing to the directory you have your roms in. 2. If it does, go to Launchbox and edit the emulator set-up for Mame. Make sure in the associated platforms tab you have the name of the Arcade platform for your games exactly as you have it listed in Launchbox. 3. If you are using a Mame offshoot like MameUI or Arcade64 make sure the mame.ini file is located in the root folder of mame where the mame.exe is located.

Any chance you have the background fade slider all the way up in your settings? If so adjust it. iexplorer.exe should not be required per Jason.

You should not have to do anything as long as you unzip the theme in the correct folder. Make sure the subfolders are not altered as the theme looks for the images to be in an exact specified location. In the pic pay attention only to the folders. I am modifying the theme so xaml files may look different in the pic than what is currently in the download. Theme should be located in \Launchbox\StartupThemes The Framed Platform folder should have subfolders like below. If the subfolders are altered the theme will not locate the images.

In Launchbox go to Tools>Manage emulators and edit your Pinball FX3 set-up. In the main window make sure you have the box for "No Space Before Rom (primarily for NullDC)" checked. In the steps above all 3 boxes are checked, but I think you only need the one I mentioned and the "Use file name" one. The steps in the original post work for the non-Steam version as well. Just add the PinballFX3.exe instead of Steam in your emulator set-up. Launching direclty into a table requires the "Cabinet" code from Zen Studios.

What if you choose one game, right click and edit that game and change the rom path from there. Does it stick?

email: support@unbrokensoftware.com let them know and you should get a response on the discount.

It would be at the bottom of the email that was sent with your license.

Can you let us know how you are going about changing the path? What steps are you taking?

Yes, if it works definitely do not change. See my prior post though as I mentioned I misunderstood your initial comment. I posted the change I have in the way my setup is that keeps the black screen from showing up.

@Roverius My bad you mentioned the hide window from the emulator tab. Yeah that way would only work with how you mentioned you did your setup. I don't know why I was only thinking the Startup options. The way I mentioned works if I set the Startup Load Delay to 1 second. The blank screen does not appear and the game launches fine.

You can do the same with the method I mentioned. The last tab in the edit game screen allows you to set Startups for games that you may launch without an emulator. Just an alternate way to get the same result.

You do not actually need to do the emulator step as long as your .bat file has the correct command to run the game. Just point Launchbox to the .bat file as the game. When you leave the emulator unchecked LB will ask you to assign one. You can just choose not to and close it out.

You can. It will just install a beta like any stable build right on top of your existing build. In Tools/Options you will see the updates options. Choose the betas there. You can tick it for the current beta that is out. Then untick it if you do not want to try any other betas. Keep in mind there could be minor glitches, but Jason usually has these fixed quickly.
