If you added it as a "Platform Category" then the image goes in the folder below: LaunchBox\Images\Platform Categories\[Category Name]\Clear Logo If you have added one and it is not showing go into BB setting page and look for the images options and Refresh the Image Cache.

Yes, bitbucket is best spot for feature requests.

Teknoparrot logo replaced with windows logo
Retro808 replied to JHub87's topic in Big Box Custom Themes
During import you can change the scrape as to whatever you want. I do not recall LB defaulting any scrape as to "Windows" unless you are importing the option for "None of the Above" when asking what type of file you are importing. Even then I think the default is left blank. Either way to correct it in LB just right click the platform name and edit. Go to the images and delete that windows platform clear logo and add the one you want to use. When you run BB again be sure to go into the settings and refresh the image cache to ensure BB does not use the cache with the old Windows logo. -
Triforce Arcade System Platform Video (16:9/soundtrack)
Retro808 replied to CTRL-ALT-DEFEAT's topic in Platform Media
Media to be used in presentation of game data within LB/BB is fine and is media of your making. We do not allow sharing rom/bios files or linking to site that do. Uploaded media must be related to the topic of the post. -
Where exactly are you talking about? Are you using the Community Theme Creator to make a theme or standard backend coding?

I deleted all you other posts asking the same question. Please refrain from posting the same question over and over in multiple threads. Choose on or create an new thread and wait for any responses. I cannot assist in the answer as I rarely mess with Daphne launched games.

You cannot directly edit the Default theme for LB, Pause, Startup, or BB. They will always revert to stock coding to ensure the Defaults are never corrupt. You have to copy the Default folder and then paste and rename it. Then you can edit that new copied version. Just be sure to change your Pause theme to the new one you made.
-
If you do please create a thread specific to this since it is not beta testing related.

Could be your BB image cache is still retaining the images. The folder you mentioned in the default location. To change the images you can just recreate the folder and drop the new images in. Then launch BB and go to the settings and go to >Options >Image Cache and refresh your images.

Mame expertise sought - Joystick sensitivity
Retro808 replied to darkmenace's topic in Troubleshooting
Using a Sanwa or Happ style joystick (meaning a microswitch style joystick) is exactly what MK 1-3 were built around as arcade games. MK2 (at least in the US) used Happ style joysticks. So with the Sanwa you are using something that is well more than good enough. You said you upgraded to real Sanwa. Any chance you have a 4-way/8-way gate and installed it with the 4-way gate set up? One way you can affect the feel/response of arcade sticks is changing the spring mounted in it. You can put a lighter or stiffer spring in and that will affect the playability. -

Just manually type the name in as you add a new platform. You do not need to use the drop down list. That field can be manually edited.

There are startup themes that can do this. If you are selling your cabinet I would not keep your license for premium LB/BB in that build. It could get flagged and blacklisted. Licenses are for personal use only. I recommend having that person buy a license.

I think I see the issue. You cannot drop a CTC coded theme view file into a non-CTC coded theme and have it work. Non-CTC themes would be missing plugins Dave uses in the CTC to create themes. You could possibly copy the plugins folder from the theme when the marquee view was published and paste it into Refried and test.

Forum. Many times the theme manager version is outdated as the creator sometimes forgets to submit it to our devs to test.
-
It would not matter if the theme has a GameMarqueeView.xaml file already or not. As long as you add one in or replace the original BB is designed to read it. So if you use your specific GameMarqueeView file in a theme other than Unified Refried that other theme shows your Marquee view file correct? If you use it in Unified Refried it does not show, correct? I just downloaded Unified Refried 2.0 and tested with a custom marquee view I use and no issue. Refried is showing it fine. Try downloading a fresh Refried. Maybe something is corrupt.
-
The Default theme folder would not affect other themes. Also you can never alter/change the default theme as it will always revert to it stock coding to prevent the Default theme from corrupting. Have you tried dropping your Marquee view files in another theme and testing? It could be an issue with Refried. That theme is old and has not been updated in a couple years. The only thing that would override a custom theme's marquee view file is that setting you confirmed is off.
-
I am actually incorrect, partially about there not being a setting in BB. There actually is an option to "Ignore Theme Marquee Views" however, I think that is off by default. In BB go to setting age then Options > Marquee Screen and make sure that option is not turned on. If it was then that was likely the issue.
-
All themes will use BB default marquee settings unless a GameMarqueeView.xaml and/or PlatformMarqueeView.xaml is present in the theme's \Views folder. Those 2 files, if in the theme's views folder, will override BB default marquee use. There is no setting you need to check it should just read the xaml. Do you have the files in the correct folder and are they named correctly? Perhaps post a pic of the inside of the theme's view folder.

Select all the games in the platform or all games for your entire collection. Then go to >Tools >Download >Update Metadata and Media for Selected Games. Uncheck all media image options and leave "manuals" checked. Keep in mind manuals are only available through Emumovies and you need a paid version of Emumovies to download from within LB directly.

Right click and edit a platform or playlist. The "Parents" tab allows you to determine where you want each to appear. Also when you edit a playlist on the "Details" tab is a box to check to include the playlist with the platforms.
