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.

You would have to manually edit the code for the theme. You would need to open the view xaml for the specific platform view you are using and then look for the lines of code for those text blocks. Seeing the code befoe in this theme you will likely look for the textblock with Total Games. That textblock is probably going to be in a StackPanel or WrapPanel so you would need to delete all the lines for that specific section. I am not near my cabinet so cannot directly look for what you need to delete and post it.

Glad you could at least revert to a prior build but still does not solve why an update is not working. Which would be good to solve or risk being stuck on older versions. What version LB did you upgrade from and what version Windows are you on? If you go into your \Launchbox\Updates folder and manually run the installer for the latest version does LB work? If you manually run the installer as I mentioned be sure to check the folder location it is installing to. One of the screen in the installer UI should show you the final location. Make sure it is not installed into a \Launchbox\Launchbox folder. Also not sure if you had logs turned on in your prior LB settings but if you can look in the logs folder if you have anything there please post the last log.

Correct. They are not something the user can edit in a theme’s code or in a setting.

It is priority of importance not of sequence. LB and BB only show 1 video that is looped the longer you stay on it. It does not play one first, then when done plays the next one in the order listed. So in the case of your image LB/BB will play a trailer video if one is available. If not it looks for a recording to play that. If no recording it looks for the a marquee and so on until it finds one of those options that has a video in the respective folder. Then that is the video it plays until you move to another game.

Yeah it moves very little at a time to allow a pretty precise volume setting.

What theme are you using?

Does your PS2 platform name match the name of the image file in the theme? Looking at the background image file in the theme folder it is Sony Playstation 2.png so your platform name would need to be "Sony Playstation 2". If it is not you can simply rename the image file to match how you have named your PS2 platform.

Yes, but not as an option to set in BB. You would have the edit the theme’s code and create something like a storyboard to animate the images. You could animate movement or their opacity. If it was a theme created using the Community Theme Creator and the developer shared the theme creation files you can use that to edit in the CTC and it has some really good tools to do these animations without needing to know actual coding.

Its not a bug or an oversight. It is by design. The full set option does not actually import roms. It uses Mame’s actual Mame.xaml to simply list the roms noted as “playable” by Mame itself. Moving roms would only be possible with a non-merged set as ant other set would not include the needed support files for various roms. So you could use the feature request option (located under Help & Support) to request a move feature in Full Mame option if the users has a non-merged set.

It will if the rom is not supposed to be extracted. Such as in Mame.

If they are actual LB playlists (ones you downloaded from our forum from other users) you can place the xaml files in \Launchbox\Data\Playlist folder.
