In LB or BB? Can you provide a pic of what you mean?

Did you look in the 3D Box Front image folder and confirm that game does indeed have a 3D Box image? If it does I would confirm the name matches the game's name in LB. If the image was downloaded by LB during import it would have named the file for that specific game 007_Blood Stone.png or possibly 007_Blood Stone-01.png. You can also try and refresh your image cache. Highlight all the games and then right click and select "Refresh Selected Images" or just hit F5. If the game does not actually have an image in the folder just select all the games missing images and rerun the Metadata and Media download process. Also, in case you did not know. LB has media priorities. So you can set fallback image options in cases where games may not have an image type present. In LB go to >Tools >Options and look for the Media section. Each of the Image Types that have a priority setting you can set fallback options. Just check the box for the types you want. You can then use the move buttons to move each option in the order you want them.

What version LB are you on? Are you talking about on this screen?

@Darkman042 I removed that link. Users are more than welcome to search other sites on their own for older versions. Just do not post on our forum. We only recommend the official site. Yes, I am aware the official site does not contain older versions. If a user needs and older version they can email support@unbrokensoftware.com.

@skizzosjt Yeah that sums up the "finicky" part quite succinctly. On the 3 cabinets in my house. 2 can run a marquee no matter the location (these 2 are currently #2 over #1 in locations). 1 can only run it side-by-side (I do not think I ever tested in the locations you finally got it to work though). Glad you did end up getting it sorted.

Display res should not matter. My test machine uses a 1920 main monitor and a 1600 marquee without issue. It used to have a 4K and still worked fine with the 1600 marquee. Do you have your display positions in the Windows Display settings as Main Window under Marquee window or do you have them set and side-by-side? I know BB has been finicky with positions. So if you have them stacked in the settings try putting them side-by-side. Do you have scaling different on each monitor or are they the same?

This is if the team can replicate the issue to figure out if something can even be done on our end. I have TP set up on 5 builds in the house. Test machine and 4 cabinet / console set-ups. None of them have the TP issue mentioned here and all are running different LB versions (some on betas some on stable releases). This is also testing with BB and LB. So it does not seem to affect every user. What might be helpful is sharing set-up / setting information. 1. How do you have TP set up in LB? (Edit the emulator and share pic of "Details" page and "Associated Platforms" page. 2. Now choose a game that you get the error with and edit it in LB. Share a pic of the "Launching" page and "Emulation" page. 3. Are you using an AHK scripts in the LB settings for TeknoParrot? 4. Are you running TP as admin? 5. Are you using any other things with TP such as RHLoader or any other launcher exe? 6. Share pics of your settings in TeknoParrot as well as the settings in TP for the game you chose in #2 above.

Other emulators have not really been integrated. Mame and RA just have options now for LB to download it and set some basic settings and command lines. Its not an outright integration. TP is constantly being updated and we have seen numerous time an update cause some issues with a frontend. Just tested the latest updates with LB and no issues with all the games tested. TP is such an odd creature since you sometimes have to have certain settings for each game to get them to work. From a settings aspect there could be any number of factors that can cause this issue for some users.

Do not bump suggestions posts. More to the point beta testing threads are not for making suggestions. They are for posting troubleshooting feedback on current betas so the devs can see what is/is not working. If you wish to make a feature request the proper channel is to use the "Request a Feature" link located at the top of the forum under "Help & Support".

Close LaunchBox. Go to you LB folder \\LaunchBox\Data\ and delete the ImageQueue.xml file. Then restart LaunchBox. Deleting this file will stop the downloads from attempting to start again when you open LaunchBox. Something may have corrupted the file.

Definitely appreciate the detailed post. However, that file should not need to be manually added if the Mame set is downloaded from a trustworthy site. Mame rom sets already come with tms32031.zip file in there. That c31boot.bin file does not have to be in the Primal Rage rom. The tms zip just needs to be in your roms folder. This is why we always recommend getting roms from site known to supply a proper Mame set. Such as PleasureDome.

In Task Manager go into the Services tab and see if you have Nahimic running. It has been know to cause graphical issues. Not sure if it has cause this type of issie but worth checking.

Try refreshing the image cache. There is a setting in BB options for this. Also make sure you are not actually on a "Text List" view for platforms. You can do this by binding a key or button to the option for Change View in BB controller or keyboard mapping. Then when in the actual theme hit that key/button to change the view real time.

You can add them to the manuals folder for each platform. \Launchbox\Manuals\[Platform Name]\ Each manual should be named as the game is named in LB or after the rom file name.

There is no Platform or Playlist Marquee Video folder. So there is not built in support for marquee videos for platforms or playlists. You would have to code a custom platform marquee view to do this.

Doubtful that will get updated anytime soon. It’s been a while since that list has been updated. I believe its purpose is a “basic” starter list not a comprehensive list. Plus neither of those actually need any specific command lines to work. So a user does not need to add any.

LB does not need default support for these as they work perfectly fine already. Just add them like any other emulator. Many users have had both these running for quite a while now.

You always have to import games into LB. Just setting up the emulator does not make LB run the game. You have to set up the emulator and also import the game/rom files.

Do your games run directly in Mame without using LB? What rom set did you download.

What exact line did you edit in the xaml? I do not believe the stock marquee view xaml has any specified dimensions in the coverFlow:FlowVideo. You may just need to edit the view and add StretchVideo=True Also are you trying to edit the Default theme's code? As that will not work. It will revert back to stock code on each startup.

When you right click the game and edit does it actually have any details in the "Notes" section in the metadata screen?

Same answers will apply here as you got in the discord. You would need to bulk rename the files as the Batocera format does not match LB formatting. Highly unlikely the devs will spend their time creating a tool to import another front end's media when we have our own Games DB and API access to EmuMovies media. You could post in the 3rd party apps sub-forum to see if someone might be willing to develop a plug-in for LB to do this.

What does it show in the "Associated Platforms" tab? Can you post a pic. Do you games run directly in Mame without using LB to launch the games? I take it you had LB download and set up Mame for you versus manually adding Mame, correct?

You cannot use the Mame Full Set import option for incomplete rom sets. You have to use the File or Folder import option or Drag & Drop the files into LB. The Full Set import option does not really import files. It reads the Mame.xaml from Mame and in LB lists all the games marked "playable" according to the Mame.xaml. So if you use it on a partial set you get all the games listed and not just those in your partial set.

In LB go to >Tools >Options then scroll down and look for >Integration. Emumovies sign in spot is located there.
