Does it only occur with those Arcade playlists you have listed? I noticed in the video you stayed in those playlists and did not go down into the ones like Capcom Classics, Mega Drive Classics and such. Also have you tried another theme to see if it occurs there as well. I cannot seem to replicate this on my set-up using Unified and a couple other themes.

Something similar happened a while back with the Wonderswan core. A member posted a few games no longer worked. Thankfully I had not updated and was able to test the prior core still worked. So now before I update any cores I will back up the core folder.

Probably a theme issue. I just tested Critical Zone and another and the fade does not work on background images. In Aeon MQ7 it does work. I would post in the CriticalZone theme thread and see if something in the xml can be edited.

That's what it should do. Just tested with Aeon MQ7 theme and it works fine. Using 0 the image is full and moving up to 90 it is barely seen. What theme are you using?

Right now videos/animations are not supported through Launchbox for marquee. Something I have been anxiously waiting for. Upgraded marquee support did not make the cut on the last poll Jason did so we may have a bit of a longer wait.

Not at this time. Multi-level filter was something voted on in the poll back in February and I think it made the cut. If it did, than it is something Jason will eventually get to. When, is undetermined at this time. He does have quite a bit going on.

That issue I am not sure. I know there were some random posts about game images not changing when moving to other games. I have not seen anyone report the same with marquee images and I do not recall seeing it on my cabinet.

The marquee staying up while the game is played should happen. It does in my setup. I cannot assist on the other question as I am not familiar with adjusting the xml at all.

I am not sure where you found it so I cannot say. I do not know if they used it in conjunction with Launchbox. But the members on this site that used it with Launchbox had major issues. So I still recommend reading that thread linked and simply say if you are going to use it to help import roms into Launchbox....use it at your own risk.

Not sure which version you are considering but I would read this thread and recommend not using Lightspeed with Launchbox.

New beta looking good. Thanks Jason for all the hard work you put in.

I just confirmed the reason it is not working is you cannot alter the default theme. The default theme will always return to its normal state on restart. You have to copy it and rename it. Then you can make these alterations to that copy of the default theme.

Whenever you change or make a custom name for your platform make sure the "associated platform" name for the emulator you are using has that same name. Example: If you are using Retroarch for NEO Geo [MVS] go the manage emulators and edit Retroarch. In the associated platforms tab you need to make sure the name for Neo Geo MVS there matches exactly as you have it listed in your platforms. Your platform name is Neo Geo [MVS] then in the associated platform field it should also show Neo Geo [MVS].

I tried to follow your steps to see if I can replicate the issue but I could not. At least I am hoping I did it how you did based on your description. The playlist does not corrupt. I deleted the set-up and redid it 3 times and the playlist stays as it should. Below are pics how I set it up. Is this how you have yours?

Glad you are sorted and thanks for sharing what you found the issue to be.

@vincefaro I do not believe the option screen has a custom image. That's how it looks on mine.

The software has grown a lot and this community has grown. Perfect, no. Developing, yes. You will see we really only have a handful of regulars so it can be hard to be further along than some would like us to be. That's why we are very welcoming. One thing you will find is the community is not very tolerable of dismissive or divisive attitudes. So again, welcome.

@DrMaxwell Welcome to the forum and we do appreciate any help from all our members. We are not like many forums you will encounter. We do not frown upon duplicate posts, members asking the same question over and over without using the search feature, or even a little meme banter back and forth between members. Yes, the ultimate goal is "to help". You may only see "poor documentation" as you put it, but I see a group of great members helping each other on a daily basis. With that being said please do try and takes things a bit light hearted. This is a small community still and it is growing.

@Kremlar Do you get any type of error or does it simply look like it is not even trying to open?

Try taking a look here. Custom cut marquees for now need some editing in theme .xml to display right. Not many on the forum are using custom cut marquees so it is likely something that is not high up on Jason's list to attack. I will tag him though @Jason Carr to see if we can nudge him towards taking a look at it.

@vincefaro in BigBox go to settings menu and select Views then Default Startup View and change there.

Have you tried switching the video player to the other option to see if it still happens. If you are using VLC in BigBox switch to media player or vice versa.

@mthompson239 Right now just Visual Pinball 10. I have a few table set up and have it set up in LB and tested that I can run tables directly and exit with my button combos. I have some tweaks to set the DMD to the size I want and in the location I need over the backglass on the second monitor. Then get media downloaded. After that I will work on Visual Pinball 9.

Ah yes, forgot that part too. Thanks!
