It is talking about the "Associated Platforms" tab. Anytime you add a new emulator you need to add which platform or platforms in LB will use it. Just click the Associated Platforms tab and type in the name of your platform. It must match exactly what you named the platform in LB.

You did nothing to offend me as I am not offended at all. Not sure why you are responding the way you are so I will not make any assumptions. Look back at your original post. You asked a specific question. It was “is it possible” and I responded to that question. You did not ask “how” so I did not respond how. Then your second posts said you already knew what I told you. I had no clue you knew that because your original question lead me to believe you did not to which I simply advised why I answered the way I did. I then gave you an example of what to look for since I am not near my pc. Even said it would be a day before I could look directly for you. Sorry to say but you took all this the wrong way. If you are not happy that I was answering and trying to help then not much more I can do.

Well, you did not ask that so I answered what you asked. Not near my pc so not 100% sure on the line. In the GameDetailsView.xaml see if you can find a reference to a binding for ClearLogo. If you see one try commenting it out or deleting it. Would be another day before I can directly look on one of my cabinets to confirm.

Yes, but you would need to copy the Default theme folder and name that copy something new. Then you can edit that one. The Default theme cannot be directly edited as it will always revert to stock code to ensure LB always has a working theme.

Not sure what exactly is the pain as LB is quite simple. We even have a youtube videos to show how easy things can be. What exaclty for Mame are you trying to import? Full Mame rom set or a random selection of games. Perhaps provide screen caps of each step you are taking so we can see exaclty what is wrong.

What do you mean exactly? Is it not downloading any screenshots when you do a bulk game download or is it only downloading a some images? Also are you talking about from the LB GameSB or Emumovies? There are some settings that you could have checked or unchecked so clarifying would make it easier to determine the issue.

If you bought a harddrive and it is one loaded with roms that was prebuilt with LB or another front end you should contact the seller. Not much we do here to help with those pre-loaded drives. Anyone selling roms is a scammer. I would recommend trying to run the game directly within the emulator first to see if it works. If not, its a rom and emulator set-up issue.

Not confident anything needed to be fixed considering only 3 users on just under 3 years reported an issue. So doubtful it was anything our 2 devs looked at or have been able to replicate. Would be helpful if someone provided some more details Such as: What theme are you using? Does it happen with different themes? Does it happen every time or intermittently? Does rebooting BB bring the images back? Are all your video drivers and Windows updates current? These are just a few off the top of my head so any other details you might feel relevant would help.

I think the text option to display the text on the box or not within LB.

Not in its current form. You would need to submit a feature request.

Not to over complicate things but why not just back into the main settings screen and hit “Shutdown”. Works, nice and simple. Never have to worry about someone accidentally hitting a shutdown button combo or hitting the shutdown icon if one existed. 7 years of BB in my cabs and this way has worked easily and flawlessly.

Does it only do that with the theme you created? If so could be an issue with how the theme was made. Maybe something incorrect with how you set an animation (looks like something is not being called correctly or being missed). Troubleshooting the CTC you would need to be on his patreon site. That is where he is primarily responding to help questions.

Did you map your controls in the emulator(s)? Most should work off the bat with Xbox controller, but if not you need to map directly in each emulator. LB/BB has nothing to do with in game controls.

Auto import for what? The only auto option is for store front ends and that is only on when you actually end up setting up the pc store front ends. LB will not auto import any emulated systems. That all has to be manually done. If you are manually adding the emulators you have to manually point to your Retroarch.exe path. The manual option does not auto fill the path. It will auto-fill the Associated Platforms tab for common platform names and cores. The only time the .exe path would be populated is if you choose the option to have LB download and set-up Retroarch.

Yeah I get that. That was not what I was specifically asking about. I needed you to clarify if it is when you launch the game through LB or when launching directly through TeknoParrot. If it is when launching through LB then try opening Teknoparrot and launching the game directly in the emulator. If it does the same that way then it is not a LB issue and is a rom/Teknoparrot issue (possibly a setting in TP you need to adjust).

Is this issue when running through LB or when trying to launch the game directly in TeknoParrot without LB?

Did you have LB move the roms? The only scenario where LB would rename a rom during import is if you chose the option to "Move roms" and then LB would append the game file name if it was moving it into a folder and the rom was already there.

The emulator has nothing to do with LB and the images. If you named named you images correctly and placed them in the correct folders try selecting all the N64 games and refreshing the image cache (Select all games and hit F5).

In LB you can create a custom field that can be displayed in the Game Details panel. Just right click a game and choose to edit metadata. You will see a tab called "Custom Fields". In a blank cell give the field a name. Then in the "Value" field give it a value to populate. Once you do one game you can then mass select games and use the Bulk Edit function to update all those games to have the custom field. To display that data you can either have it displayed as a text in Game Details: In LB go >Tools >Options >Game Details page then check the box for "Custom Fields". Additionally you can use the plugin below to create a custom badge that can de displayed next to the game box to show a badge for all games you own. in

Did you do what I mentioned in my prior post? The last part of my posts says you have to launch a game and select the view to use the lay file/image.

While you are correct, that if you delete all games from a platform LB removes that platform then it sets the view to "All" level, that in itself does not then delete the whole library. I have done this numerous times and even retested it before this post. Something else had to happen. Typically when we see missing games or data the user has other platform files in the \Data\Platform folder that are causing issues. Some users make duplicate or backups of those \Data\Platform files and leave them in that folder and causes issues similar to this. Another common issue for this is a user using a sync or cloud service and that was causing sync issues.

The game artwork for Game & Watch goes in your Mame's \artwork folder where you have Mame.exe located. So if you have the mame emulator files located in a \Mame folder the artwork goes \Mame\artwork. Each game should have its own folder of image data. Example: Game & Watch Ball files would be located in \Mame\artwork\gnw_ball\[All image and lay files] You just need to make sure Mame knows to use them when you launch the game. LB has nothing to do with those files. If they are not showing when you launch a game hit "Tab" on your keyboard and then in the "video options" make sure to select the proper view (see image below). Depending on how many images you have and how the lay file is set up you may have multiple options.

In LB edit Retroarch in your >Manage >Emulators options. Make sure you do not have the option on the first screen to "Extract Rom Archive before running" checked.

If the files you changed are not in the actual theme's folder you are ok. When you update a theme within BB theme manager it specifically tells you that the entire theme's folder will be deleted. It only deletes the theme's folder folder. So if you keep custom images located somewhere else. you are good. Plus, if you do like @JoeViking245 mentioned and have backups turned on in LB you will have a copy in your backups history.
