In Launchbox >View then uncheck "Show Version". Or simply hit CTRL+R.

You stated you did have inputs working but it was not clear if it was the method they have on their site. You will need to make an AHK script to call it open before the game. I am not at the house right now so later I will send it to you. You will just have to modify the file location paths in the script. Then point to the script instead of the game exe as the script will be a launcher for both the X-arcade input and the game. Sadly you will have to replicate this for each game. A bit of a work around, but it works.

You might want to check Xgaming’s site. They have had a method out for quite a while now to get their controllers to work with these games. I have a Tankstick and still use it in one of my cabinets. Currenty have SFIV, SFV, MK XL, and a bunch of other pc fighting games running in BigBox with the tankstick as the controller. Read this: specifically method 2

Good to hear.

@Mr. RetroLust So @neil9000 was pretty spot on. It will work and really do not need to download a new Mame. I just created a test emulator folder called "Mame Test" and simply copied only my Mame 200 .exe file into it. Added Mame Test as an emulator and pointed to the .exe I copied into the Mame Test folder. Then ran the full arcade importer and chose to call the platform Mame. Chose only 3D box media and it downloaded. Then when done closed LB and deleted the Mame Test xml from the platform data folder. No harm no foul and now I have all the 3D box images I dont need. LOL.

What tutorial are you watching? If the tutorial mentioned nothing about how to close the emulator if you are using a save state than it may not be wrong, it just may not be the way you need to close the emulator for save states.

@Mr. RetroLust I can give what @neil9000 is saying a test for you. I finally got my test pc back up and running so if it messes anything up it will not affect my actual arcade pc.

That is a clear logo. It may be a remnant in your image cache. Try refreshing the cache in BigBox and see if that same view gets updated to show the image you have in your clear logo folder now. Go to settings in BigBox then Options>Image Cache>Refresh all Images. Anytime you add images it is recommended to refresh the cache.

No setting needed. If there are unzipped correctly and placed in the Themes folder they will show in your options to be able to select. Can you share a pic showing inside a folder of one of the add-on themes?

You can easily change any platforms video path for all the games in that platform by going into >Tools>Manage Platforms and editing there.

In manage emulators edit the Sega Model 2 and paste the below in the AHK tab. It will allow you to close with the button combo (if you use a controller) or key combo (if you use keyboard/arcade joy) you set in LaunchBox/BigBox. ; This section closes Sega Model 2 Emulator when pressing Escape $Esc:: { Process, Close, {{{StartupEXE}}} }

So if it does this outside of Launchbox this seems to indicate something else on your pc is causing this. Have you tested other controllers?

Threw me off as your title of the thread simply says Unified. That explains it then. Redux uses jpg files not png. You need to chamge the image types you are using the jpg. Jason changed the Redux theme to use jpg.

There should not be anything to change settings wise. As long as the image name matches the name of the playlist or platform and you are putting them in the themes images folders it should work next time you restart BigBox. Just to be clear are you using Unified or Unified Redux?

@wildpumpk1n Your pics show a couple different things. 1. The games image pic shows your Arcade platform is in Text Game view. Full screen videos for this theme do not work in Text view. Vertical Wheel 4 is the view for fullscreen. In your settings it does show you have chosen Vertical Wheel 4. However, you also have "Remember Separate View for each Platform" checked which means each system platform can have a different view so one could be on Vert Wheel 4 while another could be on Text. This is probably why you are not actually seeing the correct view. Either uncheck that option and set all to Vert Wheel 4. Or if you want to have the option checked make sure you have a button or key mapped to "Change View" that way you can set each platform to the view you want separately.

Per Jason's post in this thread it is not something that will easily be updated. Here is his post from that thread in case you do not want to search for it.

Are you going into controller settings or keyboard mappings? Those are two different things and if setting a keyboard you need to use the keyboard mapping option.

Launchbox is more the pc side (gamepad/keyboard) of things and BigBox (though usable with keyboard and gamepad) is more the arcade cabinet side and better with arcade joystick. I have never bothered with seeing if a joystick can be used in Launchbox since I only use it for configuration/set-up. As for your button mappings not working as coin and 1P buttons that is specific to the emulator and not anything that Launchbox or BigBox controls.

i just tested what I have setup. In your display configuration in Snes9x is it set to D3D or OpenGL? If so try ticking the box for "Emulate Fullscreen" and see if that changes anything. I have that set in mine and it works. If I untick it the menu bar shows up and I have to hit Esc to hide it.

Are you using Windows 10? If so, right click the snes9x exe and in properties then compatibility check the box for disable fullscreen optimization and see if that helps. I have seen that mentioned before here and it worked form some users.

Thanks @IlhanK I like what you did. I was able to get coded what I needed shortly after my post.

If you manually add a platform what you named that platform really would not matter if you have the "scrape as" set to the system name. Right click the platform name and see what the scrape as name is set to. Adding a new platform using the game import wizard is a safer process to ensure something is not set up wrong. Like CDBLue said with the associated platforms all you have to do is type the platform name. You are not bound by what might show up as default. You can manually type in any platform name you created and added to Launchbox.

I just added custom images for favorites playlists for my kids and no issues with Unified showing them. Png files placed in the specific pointers, borders, and background folders. LaunchBox\Themes\Unified\Images\Theme Is the 64 HD the only one giving you issues? Do you have any other custom platforms and do they show the images?

Yeah I doubted it would, but figure worth a mention. Seen some strange things posted in our forum...like speakers not being plugged into a pc affecting Mame not working.

I am no way an expert on this but I remember some earlier posts this year with 4KTV issues and that 30Hz was the problem. Setting it to 60Hz fixed it for other uses. I cannot remember if it was the partial screen issue you are having, but setting 60Hz and see if it changes anything. I notice in @neil9000 image he has 60Hz set.
