Nah its void because he sold you a machine with a bad license. He was likely using the license he purchased and putting it in all the builds and illegally selling it like he was illegally selling roms. Good to hear its out of business. Only legitimate license comes from our site. Just go into the \Launhcobx folder and delete the license.

This means the license you have located in the \Launchbox folder is one known to be shared/altered. Remove the license and you can continue to use the Free version. If you wish to properly support our developers purchase a license directly from our site. If you do feel this is an error email support@unbrokensoftware.com and advise of the situation.

Missing files from Mame roms typically means you are running an outdated mame set against a newer version of Mame or you grabbed random roms or a mixed set of roms from some random site. To ensure Mame runs properly it is typically best to download a Mame rom set from a good site (best place is Google "pleasuredome io" and it will be the first site listed). Then run that current rom set against the matching version of Mame. Recommend reading this.

It should import fine. The screens you see usually means it was already imported. Run through the import process again and check to box to "import duplicate". The game could be imported under another game (as an additional app/game) or if you have any of the "hide games missing" options check in LB it could be already imported but hidden. Either way try to reimport and check the "import duplicate" as mentioned.

Because that is just a BB theme and not an overlay (or bezel) for when an emulator is running a game. BB does not stay running over top of emulation displaying UI elements. When a game is launched the emulator takes focus so you would need some sort of emulator overlay to accomplish what you need. Both Mame and Retroarch can do this. Plenty of resources to get these set-up just Google or Youtube "vertical bezels"

What ever emulator you are using open it and check the control mappings. All in game functions are handled by the emulator not LB. So it is likely you have buttons bound to multiple functions.

Is this the Associated Platforms tab for Stella? It looks like Retroarch (>Tools >Manage >Emulators and edit Stella). Also not sure you need the command line parameter in there. Stella has a setting for fullscreen I believe. If so one issue is you do not have Atari 2600 listed. When you add an emulator you need to be sure to list the platform it is associated with or LB cannot work properly. So you need to click in the empty cell in the bottom and enter your Atari 2600 platform name. Unless it is just further up the list and you are not showing it.

You are talking the same thing. The rounded corners are part of the new theme that was released with the latest LB updates. When the team releases a change to the Default theme they leave the old version in and typically rename that one Old Default. That Old Default theme remains available for licensed and free users to choose from. If you do not like the new changes you have the option to use to older style.

Good to hear you sorted it, probably not many users interested. Honesty did not look like anything really special other than a pre-setup Retroarch for shoot'em ups.

1. Can you run the game directly in Stella without using LB? 2. You state using Stella, when you right click a game in LB and edit it (edit metadata and media), does Stella show up in the Emulation tab or Retroarch? 3. Can you post a pic of the "Associated Platforms" tab when you go to >Tools >Manage >Emulators and edit Stella. Is your standalone Stella in a Cores folder inside Retroarch folder? Only asking as your path looks funny \Cores\Stella\Stella.exe. That cores folder just makes me think of Retroarch.

Can you try what the other user posted in his video and report. The best thing to do when you have issues is just report it, provide any errors you get, advise of exact steps, and provide any system specs. We have only 2 devs and they typically are not on over the weekend. A little patience goes a long way. We know you purchased the program and expect it to work, so do the devs, but being crass in your posts is not helpful. In @marcel_knotter video I see he is using a translated version of LB. Perhaps something going on related to that. @tshear are you using a translated language version?

Yes, you can change the media folder location for LB platforms. Right click a platform and edit it in LB. Under the folders path you can change the location. I would also say look at your \Updates. In the \Updates folder LB keeps a copy of the installer for all prior version you downloaded. Depending on how long you have been using/updating LB that can easily be several GB of data.

It's not a version thing. It is quite simply how LB works. LB can link an image that is named either as the rom file is named or as the game is named. Since your Contra images are named Contra-01.png for the original Contra game and the rom file (well we know the TP game is not a rom file) that you imported for Contra: Evolution is contra.xml the LB logic is telling it to also link images named contra to Contra: Evolution games. Just one of those very, very rare instances this logic can create a disconnect. Contra: Evolution - imported file name "contra.xaml" Contra (arcade game) - downloaded image named "contra.png" or even "contra-01.png" LB is comparing both the game's actual name and the file name of the game to see if any images match either name and that is why it is linking them.

The issue is because LB can link an image named either after the rom file or the game name. Since Contra: Evolution's file you imported in contra.xaml it is linking Contra-01 images to it. I am unsure of any workaround due to this.

Currently no. Any game hidden in a platform will be hidden in a playlist. Are these games in a platform with non-lightgun games? Reason I ask is in LB you can edit a platform and check the box for "Hide in BigBox". This will hide the platform itself in BB but the games from the platform will still show in Playlists inside BB. Of course, this will not help you if the Sinden and Gun4IR games are in a platform with non-lightgun games.

If the unblock option is not there than it is already unblocked.

If the games are imported into your LB and show 1) Different Names and 2) are linked to different LBDB ID #'s then when LB downloads the media it should name the images for each game exactly as the game names appear in your LB. So for example take Box - Front image, LB should name each Contra-01.jpg and Contra_Evolution-01.jpg. To be honest with a version of LB that old I do not recall how LB named images. I know current LB (well its been this way for years) can match an image that is named either after the game's exact name or after the rom name. What does the name of the image file for one of the games look like?

If you search the forum "ScummVM" you should find easily a 3rd party app that might be useful. Its called EpicFail. I do not mess with these games so not sure if that is what you will need but found that via search pretty quickly and looks like thread has videos and talks about what to import and how to set things up. So seems like what you need.

There are not a ton out there. You have to make your own, Google search, or check our downloads section. Personally I avoid them. For me they became to distracting and you end up with mix-matched media since there are not even complete platform collections of video marquees. Just one of the "its cool for a while" things like LED buttons for me. Both those things got old fast.

That image is just a marquee image made up of several panel to make it one marquee. BB default marquee view will play a marquee video first, then in absence of a video use the image you have in the \Marquee folder, if no image there it will show a Fanart - Background with the games Clear Logo over top.

That whole image looks like a marquee image. The Unified theme is using BB default marquee media logic. I would say look inside your \Images\Sega Genesis\Marquee folder. The full image you see on your marquee is likely in that folder.

Keep in mind if not all platforms look the same you might have the option set to allow different views per platform (BB >Settings >Options >Views). The option mentioned is there. So this could allow you to say use different themes per platform as well.

Themes can have multiple views. So if you find a theme you like make sure you bind a key or button the "Change View" in BB and when inside the theme if you hit that key/button it will change the view real time. Then you can see if the theme has a fullscreen video view. As C-beats mentioned the Unified themes do (I believe it is View 4). You will just have to look through our downloads section. If the theme creator did a good job of detailing the theme it should show what views it has in the description. . There are few others. I know Faeren's Tilt them shows video on roughly a little over half the screen.

What are the options you have checked in the Startup settings in LB for dolphin (in LB >Tools >Manage Emulators, Select Dolphin and share a pic of what you have checked in the Startup screen tab). What other emulators you having issues with? Are all you Windows updates done and video drivers up to date? We have seen out of date drivers cause issues. Not sure what to expect to be fixed in next version as Startups work fine with Dolphin and has for years so nothing to really be fixed.
