Anytime. Just let us know.

OG LB getting closer to that big arcade in the sky!!!!

Not sure on that then. I do not think anyone lately has reported that issue. For latest versions all you need to do is have a folder called "Startup" in your \Launchbox\Videos folder and place any video you want in there (does not need any specific name) and BigBox will play them in full and randomize them if you have more than one. So if you start BigBox from the BigBox.exe no issue, but if you start it from within Launchbox you get the issue?

What version Launchbox/BigBox are you using? Newer versions (from7.12 to current) play the full video before entering BigBox. Sounds like you are using a version prior to 7.12

Options > Keyboard Mappings> Then set a key for "View Images". When you highlight a game and hit that key the images show up full screen. Full screen videos are left to the theme and the view option in the theme.

Damn, I am behind on some of these games. Thanks for keeping the update of releases going. And more so thanks for the artwork @Lordmonkus and @MadK9

@Jason Carr Does not appear my issue (which also @Suhrvivor reported) is related to video driver. Updated both pc's prior to updating LB beta and this issue still showed with Mame. New beta same issue though I know you did not specifically update anything related since you cannot replicate. So far it appears to only occur with Mame since I can change the video options. LB OG and BigBox have no issues. Will test with some of the other emulators that have video option changes to see if I can replicate with another emulator.

Yes. If you have the setting for "skip games detail screen" unchecked this will bring up the game detail screen where you click on a game. In that screen is the option to add favorite a game or to add to a playlist. Or you can map a button so "show games detail screen and when you highlight a game and hit that button it will bring up the same screen.

Thanks @Jason Carr for trying to replicate. Definitely odd it only affects Next. I tested a bunch of setting changes, clean installs, only thing I have not done is an video driver update check. Both pc’s I know are on the same driver release. Just do not remember if it is the latest. Will have to test that when I get home from this business trip. For now at least with it set to opengl no issues.

Is this in Launchbox or Launchbox Next? If you go to “all games” listing it does not show up at all?

Figured it out. If I have mame video setting on anything other than openGL on these two machines Next does not like it. If I set it to auto, d3d or bgfx I get the issue mentioned. I must have changed something testing. Dang 8 year old Intel celeron laptop does not have this issue and I leave it set on auto in the video settings.

@jayjay Worked like a charm!!! Man I cannot thank you enough for the assist. I figured an AHK would do what I need, but I have only entry level skill with it. Just need to tweak the sleep times and follow the steps for about 3 more games and I am golden. Huge thanks again for this.

Thanks @jayjay The exe I use allows pc games that do not map 2 players games like Mortal Kombat XL to a single key board. The name of the additional app file is XArcade XInput.exe and game example MK10.exe

@Charco Win 10 on both. Laptop with Win 10 is fine. No issue. Only the 2 pc's. Even tried clean install of both LB and Mame in a different drive. Same issue.

I would love to find a way to delay a game opening when using an additional app. I have a similar need due to a exe on a couple games I need fully opened before the game actually starts or the control map will not be recognized. @Jason Carr is something like this possible?

Thanks Dos. I have not tested on my main cabinet yet. Using command line Mame and nothing has moved folder or drive wise. This is the first I have seen it happen. Everything else functions as it should. Edit: Test pc and main cabinet same issue. The pc builds are pretty similar. Just different RAM and Graphics card. Even tried a fresh install of Mame in case there was some old bug in the prior versions I updated. Odd that it is only Mame that causes the issue.

So just noticed an odd issue. Occurs in Next (beta 9 - I even tested on beta 8 ) and only with Mame (no other emulator). When exiting a game or even if I right click a game and choose open Mame than exit Mame LBNext will either close completely or be stuck and I have to minimize it from the task bar to get it to be functional. Did not notice until now as mainly I have been playing other systems in the last couple betas. Updated Mame from 198 to 199 and still does the same. OG Launchbox and BigBox do not suffer this issue. Run as admin is not being used.

I think I may have to do with importing two games of the same name for two regions. Well, at least that was the only instances I could get this to occur. I imported Die Hard for NES for JP and US regions (also did the game Reon showed in his video). I then deleted the images from the JP version and the issue showed up. Doing it for any single import game or for any game that I imported versions for two regions, but each game had a slightly different name it did not occur.

I tried to replicate your issue on my test pc and main cabinet. I did not get the issue you showed. I tried on different region games and different platform. Even replicating your video step by step the issue was not present. The only test I did not do is a game on a platform that I had imported two regions on. I only import one version of a game so did not have that to test. Posting a clip to give Jason some more insight. 2018-07-14_15-42-06Trim.mp4

If the image below is what you are talking about then that is just a platform video for Virtual Console.

What in particular is not working? More details would be helpful.

As Neil said a little more info is helpful. It should not take much to get it working once you have Demul set up. For that game you need the rom file, the chd file, and the Naomi 2 bios. I did not have that game so I imported it and ran easily since I had demul already set up and the right files for the game.

Right now I do not think so. All games just does the whole library. Maybe when Jason tackles nested filters it can be put in place.

In Launchbox go to tools > Manage Emulators and then edit the emualtor you are using for SNES. In the associated platforms tab you have to make sure the new name you are using in showing there now.
