  1. You can bind certain functions to a gamepad (such as exiting a game) in the >Tools >Options >Game Controller >Mappings section. A) Exiting with a gamepad see prior answer. Exiting with a keyboard would be any standard exit from an emulator such as "Escape" LB is more of the Windows (keybaord and mouse) frontend so it works really like any other standard UI using a keyboard. Nothing really to bind for a keyboard. B) In game save are all emulator specific and set-up in each emulator. LB. does not control this. C) No manuals. Just ask the forum.
  2. LB/BB does not natively support 3 screens. You would need to use one of the plugins for that.
  3. Default image in exactly which spot? If you are talking about in the middle pane of LB where the game list is you can set the image type per platform. If you have multiple images of a specific type you cannot tell LB which one of those to always display. You would have to have only 1 image. As far as setting a specific image type as the default just select a platform and in the top left of the window look for "Image Group" and select what image type you want as the default display for that platform. As mentioned you can set each platform to a different type.
  4. Working fine on my builds and my test machine. The download prompt appears and even the notification bell shows an update is available. What theme are you using?
  5. Look in the themes Views folder \Launchbox\Themes\[Name of theme\Views\ If you are using the Default theme you cannot edit it. You would have to copy the Default theme's folder and then rename the new copy to what ever you want. Then you can edit that theme and use it. You would need to edit the view xaml for the view you use (Check your BigBox settings >options >Views to see what view you are using). Once you figured out the view type return to the theme's \Views folder and right click > Edit that view's xaml file. You can edit in something like Notepad++ or even Notepad (Notepad++ gives a better coding style look to the document). Once opened search for "coverFlow:FlowControl" (there is only one so finding it is pretty easy). You need to either change the existing Endless property to false, or add a Endless="False" property to the FlowControl. The section should look like this: <!-- WHEEL --> <coverFlow:FlowControl x:Name="FlowControl" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Grid.Column="3" Grid.ColumnSpan="4" Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="8" CoverFactory="{Binding CoverFactory}" ImageType="Clear Logos" CurveAmount="-2.5" CameraZPosition="3.2" VisibleCount="16" PageSize="6" Spacing="0.9" ItemZPosition="0.7" SelectedItemZPosition="1.1" Panel.ZIndex="20" RotationAmount="12" Margin="100,0,0,0"> <coverFlow:FlowControl.Opacity>100</coverFlow:FlowControl.Opacity> <coverFlow:FlowControl.Effect> <DropShadowEffect BlurRadius="10" Direction="-90" RenderingBias="Quality" ShadowDepth="1" /> </coverFlow:FlowControl.Effect> </coverFlow:FlowControl> In this section of that code you will notice it does not have an Endless property. So you would at it. <coverFlow:FlowControl x:Name="FlowControl" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Grid.Column="3" Grid.ColumnSpan="4" Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="8" CoverFactory="{Binding CoverFactory}" ImageType="Clear Logos" CurveAmount="-2.5" CameraZPosition="3.2" VisibleCount="16" PageSize="6" Spacing="0.9" ItemZPosition="0.7" SelectedItemZPosition="1.1" Panel.ZIndex="20" RotationAmount="12" Margin="100,0,0,0"> So it should now look like this (see Enless="False" at the end of the line. Save the file and you should be good to go. <coverFlow:FlowControl x:Name="FlowControl" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Grid.Column="3" Grid.ColumnSpan="4" Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="8" CoverFactory="{Binding CoverFactory}" ImageType="Clear Logos" CurveAmount="-2.5" CameraZPosition="3.2" VisibleCount="16" PageSize="6" Spacing="0.9" ItemZPosition="0.7" SelectedItemZPosition="1.1" Panel.ZIndex="20" RotationAmount="12" Margin="100,0,0,0" Endless="False">
  6. I must be missing something or misunderstanding your request as I just gave you a tutorial on 3 ways to do just that. Any of those steps will give you Genres showing under a platform.
  7. LOL. Typing and not thinking. Thanks
  8. That error speaks for itself. It means you already have a playlist with that unique name. You can use the same unique name several times just need to make sure you change the "nested name" field to differ the playlists from each other.
  9. On the left side where the platform names are just above "All" that drop down box you have selected "Platform" to do what I mentioned you need to change that option to "Platform Category".
  10. In LB or BB? This would require editing the code for the theme you are using. Probably be good to show a pic of what exactly you are wanting to see to get a better idea of what needs to be done.
  11. Here is fine or find a thread making the media type and ask there. Example, If you are looking for a specific clear logo to match ones you are using ask in the thread with that clear logo. Usually asking in a running thread posting the specific media would yield faster results.
  12. Just download the file and drop the images in the image folder you want to use them for. Typically these would go in the \Images\Arcade\Arcade - Control Panel folder.
  13. If you want them to be lists already presented there are several ways you can do this. Option 1: Right click the platform name and choose >Auto-Generate Child Playlists. A menu will come up allowing you to select types of playlists for that platform you want. These will be available as a tree under the platform name. You can then delete any you do not want. Option 2: Choose your platform and make sure its games are visible. In the upper left of the LB window there should be a Search box with a Filter logo to the right of it. Click that filter and select > Genre then the Genre option. This will filter the games to only those with that genre. Now click on the filter button again and at the bottom of that list you will see "Save Filter(s) to New Playlist". Select that and the Playlist UI will pop-up. Name it what you want and then go to "Parents" tab and click the select box next to the platform name. This will ensure the new playlist shows up under the platform. Option 3: Right click the platform name and choose >Add >New >Playlist. In the Details tab name the playlist what you want. Then in the Auto-Populate tab click the check box to make it an auto-pop playlist. You will need to set a couple line options here. Set first line (Field / Comparison / Value) to be "Platform" / "Is Equal To" / [Your Platform Name]. In the second line set the (Field / Comparison / Value) to be "Genre" / "Is Equal To" / [Your Genre Choice]. Next go to the "Parents" tab and set the parent to be the platform.
  14. Can you post the error so we can help troubleshoot?
  15. No issues here. Settings match what you are showing. Any chance you are running Dolphin as Admin? Make sure all your drivers are updated. In your Graphics settings are you using Vulkan or something else? I am running Vulkan without issue but also just tested the others and Pause works.
  16. Just import linking it to Retroarch and not Mame. This will get them in. Then when done go into the Neo Geo CD platform and select all games and right click >Open Bulk Edit Wizard. Choose "Emulator" in the "Field" drop down box and then in the "Value" box select Mame. This will not assign all the game to Mame. Using Mame as the import emulator it is looking at arcade metadata.
  17. Best thing is to set a button combo for exit. Like Start + Select.
  18. After the import does it say "0" games added? If so it means it was already added. If you have any of the "Hide Games Missing" options checked LB may have hidden it. To easily tell reimport the game and check the box for "Force Import Duplicate". It should add it then.
  19. You would have to make edits to the theme's code. So some coding knowledge (or trial and error) would be needed. In order to do so you must first copy the Default theme's folder then rename the new copy to whatever you want. You can then proceed to edit that new theme to make any changes you want. Then use that as your new theme. The Default theme can never be edited directly.
  20. Removed your link since Archive site contains roms and forum rules does not allow for posting links to sites that do contain roms.
  21. Best bet is to post in his thread directly as it really seems like support is coming from his Patreon based on last few post in that thread. https://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/51909-community-theme-creator/
  22. The CHD is no different than the zipped rom data. It all depends on what was updated during the new Mame release. If a CHD was not updated in several revisions than it can run fine.
  23. You would have to edit the theme and either change an existing FlowControl property or add a property to it to stop the endless scroll. If you are using the Default theme you cannot edit it. You would have to copy the theme's folder and then rename the new copy to what ever you want. Then you can edit that theme and use it. You would need to edit the view xaml for the view you use. Look for the FlowControl of the view (there is only one so finding it is pretty easy). You need to either change the existing Endless property to false, or add a Endless="False" property to the FlowControl.
  24. Yeah news on the 4K has been out for about a good 10 months now and still no final price. Its definitely interesting what it can do.
  25. Good luck with that HD. Just note we typically do not troubleshoot premade builds like that for several reasons. I hope if you are using a licensed LB you bought the license from us and not that illegal rom seller.
