Yes. The root folder that the MameUI.exe is located.

If you are using version .160 then the below may not work, but I would recommend trying it. As long as you make a backup if it does not work you can delete it and restore the back up. The below I know works for version 0.186 and up: Since version 0.186 front ends have had issues loading the configs stored in the ini folder. It will try to load from the main folder. So make a back up first of your files. Then once you did that in the original MameUI folder copy the contents of your ini folder and paste it into the main folder. Then try to load a game through LB box. I had this issue and that fixed it. At the same time though I ditched MameUI and started using the more preferred command line version of Mame.

Glad you got it sorted. That is odd though. I do exactly as I mentioned and it changes the image on me. Maybe it is theme dependent. I wonder how the view changed on you if you did not have a button mapped prior to fixing it.

That setting in Launchbox will affect how the boxes are shown in that "Recent" and "Favorites" section in your posted pics. If you open Launchbox and click on GBA platform in that upper right "Image Type" drop down box if you have clear logos there it will make GBA platform show clear logos in the games box views in BigBox. You can set each platform to different image types. I just tested by changing LB Image Type to clear logo from 3D boxes for Playstation and now when I go back into BigBox those images that used to be 3D boxes are clear logos. Even in "recent" and "favorites". It only affected the one platform I changed.

If you are in Launchbox and change the box art view style there it will change it in BigBox when you launch it. So if by chance you were tinkering in Launchbox that could have been where you accidentally changed it and in BigBox it would show the change as well. I only say this as that is what I did a while back and took me a bit to figure out how it happened.

@eatkinola Error is just in Nostalgia. Also I can revert back to prior version and it is gone. I am getting it with VLC also. Normally I keep my platforms on the clear logo wheel style view and my games in the text list view. So keep that in mind to picture what I am seeing. If videos are playing in the platform category/platform screen the videos will not play in the game screen. So if I change the games view from a text list view to the view that has the clear logo wheel the videos play. However once I back out to a platform I get the "media players are exhausted" error. If I change the platform view to the one that has the platform names listed in text they play again, but if I then go back into games the videos there stop working. Switch the games view and they play, back out to platform and it is broke again. See the pattern? It is as if regardless of the view style, either I can make the platform videos work or the games videos, not both. I am on BB 7.12 I have not downloaded 7.13 yet.

New update downloaded and so far had an initial issue with WMP and videos. First time this has occurred on your theme. I got an error saying something like "media players exhausted" and the video not playing. Switched to VLC and videos worked. Switched back to WMP and videos worked. So I will test more and report back. I typically use WMP as for some reason I get random BB crashes using VLC. @eatkinola BIG THANKS for those new platform category backgrounds. They look great. But now the playlist one with the couch looks so out of place because of how good the other 3 look.

Just tested an audit on a few platforms and the random files I checked that showed more than one image in a specific category were correct. A bunch of my arcade platform games had 2 clear logos when I checked the images it was correct and those games did in fact have 2 clear logo images and not other images mixed in. Now I only checked about 10 total in 3 platforms I audited so relative to how many games those platforms had that was a tiny sample. So it is possible there are inaccuracies.

Just open a game in Mame and hit tab. This will open the options to set controls. The exit command can be set to one or two buttons. I believe it is under inputs general then UI inputs, UI Exit. Not at my machine to verify, but I think that is it.

Have you set your exit buttons/keys directly in Mame? Mame has options to set the exit configuration and you can set it to the same as you have in the BigBox automation.

I have 3 machines set up. 8GB test machine and my two arcades have 16GB and 32GB. In retro gaming I see no real performance change in emulation especially with older consoles. The CPU is where the benefit is. What I do see is better performance out of LB/BB. Especially on the heavier use themes.

You are welcome. Glad it was easy enough to sort out.

Did you refresh the image cache? Typically when you replace images you have to go into options in BigBox and refresh the image cache.

Well some of us I am sure welcome that @lordmonkus. For me the fact this forum stays on top of helping members as well as making sure we keep pettiness out of our community is the main reason I stick around. Keep up the good work everyone.

The one video I watched did expand on that so looks like I am headed in the right learning direction. Thanks for the tips. When I get home tonight going work on getting these downloaded and added.

@lordmonkus Thanks. I am setup with that spot so I will check it out. The couple videos I watched showed how to apply the patches if needed. So it was cool to learn.

In BigBox if you have the Game Detail screen set to show it will give you an option to "Add to Playlist". The list does exist in Launchbox. It will append the playlist when you add a new game to one of your playlists while in BigBox.

I have never messed game hacks or patches. Just watched a few videos on the MSU-1 stuff. The audio difference is amazing. Looks like I have something new to learn about then get to uploading. Time to hit some tutorials.

No, you are not doing anything wrong. It is likely just slow since the plug-ins are mostly forum member developed and there does not appear to be a large volume of our members that have the skill set, plus those that do typically do it in their spare time. So this forum may not get as many views as say the Noobs or Troubleshooting subforums. I do not know the answer to your questions. Maybe post a query in troubleshooting forum.

I do not believe most of those "view" options such as view genre, view series, etc. are set up to be able to change view style of the theme. At least I tested them all and only the main ones like view all games, view platform, view platform category, and view playlists are. Levo_Stone is likely using playlist feature to make these a playlist that show genres.

@y2guru Cool I will have to give these a test later tonight.

I am not sure if Future Pinball ever was a default in BigBox. A quick forum search for Pinball did not yield a solid answer but in reading some of the older posts it does seem like FP was not a default in the past. Same search did yield some art that may be useful to you. Theme Video Glass & Cabinet Wheel & Clear logos

Just tried some of these out on different themes and they do look very good. I may transition to this style. I do likey! My only recommendation would be not making the ring transparent. On some videos that transition in under the logo you get a fuzzy halo with the colors of the video bleeding through the ring. I was curious why so I opened the .png in Photoshop and that's when I saw you have the ring as transparent. If the image below is black you cannot tell.

Do you have another USB controller you can test with? Only reason I ask is I have had issues with some Xbox replica controllers not working in all emulators.

I am currently running Cemu 1.10.0f and use two AHKs. One specific to my Xarcade controller since it simulates keyboard keys and one for my 8bitdo controllers. There may be a better way for me to do this, but for the past 9 months I have been using these AHK with all the different Cemu versions it has not failed to close. I know the first one I modified the keys from a post I found on this forum and the second one was from AHK forum I think.
