Try deleting the ID if there is one and then reducing the game name to just a couple words of the name. That worked for me in the past as it will usually bring up a list of games with the partial name match. Just for kicks I tested with Watch Dogs 2 by searching only "Watch" and the full list showed Watch Dogs 2 from the Launchbox Database. Issue is the game is listed as "Watch_Dogs 2". Searching for "Secret World" I was able to find the full game name from the DB as well. Rime no luck finding no matter what I did.

Right click on a game and choose "edit". In the upper right hand of that edit window it will show the ID if it pulled one. Just delete it and then click search for metadata.

@Peej I do not think I have ever seen any options for a feature like that. Too be honest I am not even sure if an emulator would do such a thing as well.

Right click on a rom that is not working and click edit. Check the emulator tab to confirm that an emulator is checked and the emulator listed is Rocketlauncher. There was an earlier post with an RL issue and some roms not working. Turned out in that member's set up the roms that were not working the emulator for some reason did not get configured. I do not use RL so I cannot help to much, but I do remember reading the above in a prior post. Worth a check.

That's the default folder. Just click browse and search for where you have Dolphin.exe. As Dos76 mentioned when you go to the folder where you have Dolphin.exe if it is not showing up in the screen then at the bottom next to the open and cancel button hit the drop box and choose "All Files (*.*)" and it should then show.

In RA you can bind two entries for each input of your controls. For example in mine up in a game is both "Hat #0 up" on controller and "Num 8" of my keyboard/Tankstick.

Keep in mind if you pay the $20 and decide not to go lifetime you still can use your set-up, you only lose out on any future updates. Like you I tried Hyperspin/RL and even though what it can do once set up right is great, for me it was way to many layers and steps. Right now with what Launchbox/BigBox can do my system if far more than I originally wanted it to be.

Nice. Glad you got it fixed. Just realized since you cannot go back you cannot check your options. Doh!

That is probably the default. I just cannot remember. I have mine mapped to a different key due to my Tankstick controller. I have a K400 and just tested it changing the back command to the escape key in BigBox and it works. Double check your keyboard mappings in BigBox options.

In BigBox menu options do you have "escape" mapped to anything in your keyboard mappings? I do not believe in the BigBox frontend "escape" has a default map function so it would not do anything.

I had a similar issue with a nightly build earlier this year. Turned out as @lordmonkus mentioned in his post it was a bad build. I had to go back to the earlier version.

@igotdvds Thanks for sharing those by the way. I have them all on my system. Love the Playstation ones.

I would be interested in one.

I see now what you mean. The attract mode in BigBox does not demo games it just randomizes your game media set to the intervals you input. Moving the controller or hitting any button just makes the system fall out of the attract mode pattern. So I do not know how you could accomplish the look from the video.

Depending on how your system is set up for controls and the coin mechanism it can be pretty simple. I use an Xarcade Tankstick one of my machine so it was simply a matter of running two wires from the coin selector switch to the left pinball bumper button on the Tankstick (default add coin button). Now anytime a coin drops the emulator thinks it is the left bumper button (or the #3 key from a keyboard). Basically that simple on other encoders too like an iPac.

Yes. I did it for my set up with Sega Master system.

Yeah I saw the size of your marquee but you mentioned the marquee stays blank which is why I mentioned the box art. I know the box art image in your shape LCD would not look good, but it might be better than a blank screen. Heck until I get my lcd like you are using I am using a 22" widescreen and my marquee images look horrible all letter box looking on it. As far as I know there is no controls to set a generic marquee image. . I know default images have been mentioned (especially for things like missing box art) a lot so I am confident it will be coming . For now we are kind of stuck. I love the build you have so far. Please share when it is complete. It is looking amazing!

If you create custom marquees they simply go in the \Launchbox\Images\[System Name Folder\Arcade-Maquee I think though for now Launchbox/BigBox looks for images based on the rom name. So you would have to have the default image named after each rom. I am not sure if there is functionality to have just one default image and if a game is missing the marquee LaunchBox inserts that image. What theme/themes are you using? All the themes I use will show box art on my marquee whenever I do not have an actual marquee image for the rom in the Arcade-Marquee folder. For example I use Critical Zone theme and If I do not have an image in the arcade-marquee folder my marquee will simply show box art on my marquee screen.

This really is a great forum with amazing members.

Good to see that sorted it out for you.

@neil9000 Holy snaps good eye! Of course it is likely something that simple.

It has been a while since I used mameplus but if I remember right there used to be a couple .exe files in the mameplus folder. It looks like you are pointing to the gui.exe. Try pointing launchbox to the other .exe.

@Happy Horus Sega Genesis I do have working using Retroarch core. As for Spectrum I do not have the system loaded at all. Here are images from my edit game and manage emulator. Mind that you named your platform different, but as long as how you named it matches how the platform links in the emulators tab it should not matter.

Just adding to @lordmonkus prior post to share that I have Game & Watch working fine in Launchbox and it did not need any special command line parameters. I am using the most current version of RA and the Handheld core with no issues. So it shouldn't be a command line issue.

I would suggest posting a few pics of an edit game screen (right click a game and choose edit) showing the launcher tab and emulation tab as well as pics of the manage emulator screen (go to tools>manage emulators) showing the emulator detail and the associated platform detail. Sometimes a disconnect can be seen in those fields if there is one.
