I recommend submitting a ticket on bitbucket for the community to vote on adding this as a feature. The more the community votes for it the better to let Jason know how much it is really wanted. It may be worth seeing if someone has already submitted a request for this as well.

You can put them in the region folders or just in the main folder those regions are in. Launchbox will find them. Just name the file exactly as the game has its name showing in your Launchbox setup. If you save multiple pics for the same game just add -01, -02 and so on for each one you add. For example: Donkey Kong.jpg (and if you had multiple images Donkey Kong-01.jpg and Donkey Kong-02.jpg)

Not directly from Launchbox. Some emulators have the feature like Mame and Retroarch. You can use the built in Windows program to take screen shots/videos.
-
Not officially no, but just be mindful when posting that links to sites/programs that have Roms is not allowed.
-
About as easy as it could get. Just head to the downloads section and choose "submit a file". The first window will have you select the location to upload. Under platform media there is a bezels/overlays section. Next screen will allow you to drag and drop your file. You can upload a full zipped file or individual files. Then the remaining fields will then show up. You can add screenshots that will display in the forum upload as well.

Thanks @DOS76 I dont use wikis really for anything at all, even outside of emulation wold, since that data is not really validated and any one can post data. So makes sense not to recommend it.
-
Hmmm, I don't think I have seen that. When you import I know the metadata screen simply shows "(recommended)" after the Launchbox database listing. However, on the wikipedia listing it does not show not to use it.

Anyone got the Wiiware box art template on hand?
Retro808 replied to DjBlades's topic in Contributions
Not the exact one you posted but it is what I made to start making my own boxes. I did not like that simple rounded edge of the ones I could find. So I modified a box template to fit my needs. I wanted them to look more like an actual game case. -
I do not believe it is a field available in Launchbox DB. At least I have never seen it. The series info likely comes from wikipedia since Launchbox also pull metadata from there.
-
Yes. I do believe a lot of game are missing series data. Just checked a bunch of games (Sonic, Mario, Castlevania, etc..) and a lot do not have that metadata listed.

Pics of what you are seeing would be helpful to better direct you what you need to do. Since his themes do not use certain banners or clear logos you just need to download the version(s) you want, unzip them to the \Launchbox\Themes folder and then open BigBox. Make sure you have setting in place to use different views per platform otherwise when you change one it will affect them all and you know which key is mapped to switch the theme while in platform view.
-
If you don't know ask. The members here are pretty helpful. I am still a newbie learning a lot myself and AHK (Auto Hot Key) is way beyond my current knowledge level. I know you said you are looking for a single button instance to close, but the controller automation in Launchbox does work to close Sega Model 2 it uses two keys. Could be useful until you find a solution exactly as you want. In Launchbox it is under tools/options/input and in BigBox if you have premium just look for controller automation in the settings. You have to set 2 keys. One as the hot key you hold the other as the activation key to actually close the process.
-
Yes typo. Like @JRPGod said try tinkering with the driver. I missed the part where you said other games look fine. So it should be possible. I tried searching the issues as well and well, you said it yourself, nothing out there.

Is that monitor actually a 320x240. If that monitor is a standard res arcade monitor than it is not actually 320 it is likely 336 or more depending on the size of the monitor and that may be why it is not looking good at 320x240. Edited: A couple of product spec sheets I found on google for the K4700 showed resolution for 25" and 27" set at 600x240. Comparing specs of the K7000 at 560x240
-
It should be possible. I use an AHK to close Model 2 using a two button combo with delay state that prevents the emulator from closing on just random button clicks. This is simply pasted in the AHK tab of the manage emulators screen. I do not know AHK I simply found what I need from a search and altered it to my needs. You could probably try something like: Joy7: Send, {Escape down} Keywait, Joy 7 Send {Escape up} Return or Joy7::Send {Alt Down}{F4}{Alt Up} Model 2 can also close with Alt+F4
-
Just make sure when you download a theme before you unzip it, right click on the zipped file and go to properties. If you see a check box for "unblock" make sure you click it. Some themes have certain files that need to be unblocked or the theme will not work correctly.

Launchbox and RetroArch 1.7.0 Troubleshooting
Retro808 replied to kidloser0426's topic in Troubleshooting
Glad you are sorted. Recommendation as you add more systems is always set the emulator up and make sure your games are running fine in it before you add the games and emulator to Launchbox. That way is something goes wrong after the import it is easier to tell if it is a disconnect with Launchbox or in fact something to do directly with the emulator. -
You can get other themes from the downloads section of the forum. Install them into the \Launchbox\Themes folder. Did you accidentally change the view in the theme you are using? Each theme (including the default) have different view styles. Check your BigBox settings and see what key/button you have mapped to switch the theme view and use that to try different views. Without knowing what you had it set to before it is hard to be more specific.
-
First check your email for your premium license with Launchbox at the very bottom there may be a code for Emumovies discount. I do not remember specifics on the discount. It may only be a discount for lifetime sub. To download just choose all the games in a platform and select tools/download metadata and media. You will see options in the wizard.
-
You would need a paid sub to emumovies to get it to download through Launchbox. If you have that then the importer will allow you to enter you user name and password and will give you check boxes to download videos from them.

Now this is getting old. Freakin Rocketeer gets MSU'd !

You can download different style clear logos from our downloads section. Just look for the "clear logos" label. Once you have the styles you want just replace them in the corresponding clear logos folder in the Images folder structure. Platform Clear Logos for example here. As @neil9000 said if you reference a specific time stamp we can be more exact.

Vote on LaunchBox Upcoming Features - February/March 2018
Retro808 replied to Lordmonkus's topic in News and Updates
Woot! -
In BigBox there is a setting for use separate view per platform. Make sure it is active. Then in either your controller mappings or keyboard mappings make sure to set a key/button map for "switch theme". Download the themes you want and make sure to install them correctly. When you are on a specific platform hit the key/button to change theme and a pop-up box will open showing the themes you have installed. Choose the one you want and it is set.

4 player Cab assist question from Las Vegas!
Retro808 replied to thegreatiandi's topic in Collections and Builds
@thegreatiandi I would probably take a look at the forums for arcadecontrols.com I got a lot of ideas from there when I first started.
