If you use the Full Mame Romset import option the "scan for" options does not work. That options is really only for when you import roms without using the Full Set importer. If you initially imported your Mame roms via the "Full Set" import option you do not need to delete the old import at all if you updated your rom set to a newer version and update Mame as well. The full set importer does not actually import files like the other methods do. It just gathers the list of working rom based off the version of Mame you are running and generates the game list. So anytime you update just run the importer again.

The plugin from that thread has nothing to do with the thread you are posting in. That 3rd Party plugin in completely different than the built in HiScore system for this thread that LB has. So if you are having issues with that plugin in you need to post in that thread. Just an FYI it is recommended you not run LB/BB as admin. It will affect some emulators.

Likely because plugins are not tested by the dev team like themes available in the downloader are.

Ah yes, forgot about that little tidbit. Thanks Neil!

Make sure in BB you have either "View Game Details" as an active setting (which means when you select a game the "game details" page will appear before you actually launch the game) or have a button/key mapped to the option to "View Game Details". The Game Details screen gives you the option to select multiple emulators tied to a platform to launch the game with. You should not need a separate RA. In your Retroarch set-up in LB did you make sure to add the platform name to the Associated Platform tab and select the correct core for that platform?

What version LB are you on? Also are you using free version or licensed version. I do not remember if the child playlist is in the freeware or licensed version.

It up to you how you want to import. You can import them into an existing arcade platform or create a Sega Chihiro platform and import them. Just be sure to set the scrape as to "Arcade"

Well for one thing Microsoft took a step towards removing some of the ease in emulation on the Xbox Series consoles. Originally Xbox system set to Dev Mode (getting Dev Mode is a pretty simple process) could run emulators, then it was allowed on system still in normal "Retail Mode". As of a few days ago Microsoft has blocked retail mode machines from running emulators. The apps no longer work. So who knows how long before they do the same for the consoles when run in Dev Mode. Pretty sure if they so desire they can prevent it.

Yeah that video is 6 years old. Plenty of things have changed since then. To get the same option just right click on your arcade platform name in LB.

Option is still there. It is the highlighted option in the pic "Running Script" which is where the pic you posted states to go. Well they did state "Running AutoHotkey Script" tab so it was slightly wrong.

You cannot use another front end’s theme in BB. CoinOps Redux is probably closest available. Your options would be to manually edit CoinOps Redux theme code (requires some coding skill) to make it how you want or use the Community Theme Creator tool to make a version from scratch to meet your needs.

Are you running TeknoParrot as admin? that would cause this error. Older methods for some games did require admin for TP. If you are using newer dumps and updated TeknoP that is not really needed anymore.

Never said it did not work great. Only mentioned it has a flaw/deficiency. It is still extra steps to get something working that is not needed. I think we can move on and focus on the user’s issue instead.

There was a running thread with info on this in it the link below was provided. Please try the version from this link. https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/runtime-desktop-3.1.32-windows-x64-installer

What is the error you are getting? That other method is nice problem is, if there is a game without an AHK script you have to remember to make one. This thread's method requires no making of additional files. Set the emulator up the way shown and then each new game just import the xml. Not saying "do not use it" just advising it has a down side.

Make sure you have the correct core selected in your Associated Platform tab in your Retroarch set-up in LB. Also make sure you do not have the option to unzip the rom file checked.

Whether you care about play count or time or anything else is not the issue. LB automatically tracks things like play count and I do not recall an option to turn that off. So LB needs to write the data to the xaml. Test it and see. Make the folder read only. If LB/BB does not crash or report an error your are good. If it does you know why. Back your data folder up first in case you muck it up.

I have used EG Start sticks and buttons on many builds and never had an issue. I think one cabinet I have still has those in it. When you try to bind the buttons and control stick in the controller mapping section is it not keeping the option or not even recognizing you pressed a button to bind?

Correct, you are basically preventing any other setting change, edit to a playlist, a platform, a category, a game, emulator set-up, etc.. I would assume any attempt to might crash LB/BB since it will not be able to update the needed file. You mentioned you would not be doing any changes, but there are changes LB/BB do on their own such as play count and play time. So those would be updated in the platform xaml file automatically.

Yes, it would impact since the \Data folder contains the xaml file that would need to be edited if you made that type of change.

Hyperspin themes do not work with LB. They never have. Videos have to be actual video file formats (mp4) such as those from Emumovies or ones users have shared in our forum's downloads section.

Is this with all emulators or in a certain emulator? Does it do this only when launching the directly in the emulator?

I have combined this thread new thread with your original one. A new one was not needed. Continuing the chain keeps all relevant data in one source. You can always edit the title of any thread you create to update/change it.
