That error means you are using a pirated license or one known to be shared by users. You can simply remove the License.xaml from your \LaunchBox folder and continue to use the free version. Otherwise, feel free to purchase a valid license from our site. If you feel this is an error please email support@unbrokensoftware.com and provide the license information and explain your issue.

There is no specific sub-forum for this. Its not too often that we get new user intro posts. Welcome to the forum!

No, this is a different screen than than what you are sharing. The simple fact that that warning is showing up mean you are now actually launching the game. That is a Mame nag screen. You have to hit any button to move past it and you should now see the game. Unfortunately to completely remove that screen the creators of Mame4Rage2 have to compile what is known as a NoNag version of their build. NoNags can be done with Mame and remove these warning screens.

Look at the last pic. For the rom you are pointing to the Mame4Rage exe file. That's why. You are not even pointing to the rom. You need to change that to the actual rom file.

You have a setting in LB wrong. Share the following pics. In >Tools >Manage >Emulators edit Mame4Rage post pics of 1. Details Tab 2. Associated Platforms Tab. Right click Primal Rage 2 and edit. Post pics of 1. Details Tab 2. Launching Tab 3. Emulation Tab

Yes, you just need to manually make a new playlist and do not include a platform filter to it.

No. Adding emulators does not add wheels to BigBox.

To change a specific platform’s view you need to bind a key or button in BB to the option to Change View. Then enter that platform and hit the bound key/button to change to the view you want.

If you mapped those buttons in LB and/or BB already it should exit. In BB just make sure you are mapping to the option for "Close Active Window". If you have done this already and it is not exiting a game then go into LB >Tools >Manage >Emulators and edit TeknoP. In the "Running AutoHotKey" tab paste the script below. Be sure to paste it in the "Running AHK" tab. $Esc:: { WinClose, ahk_exe {{{StartupEXE}}} }

Double check the games still run directly in Xenia and if so. I would start taking a look at just one game in LB and also double checking your emulator setting. Right click and edit the game. In the launching section make sure it is pointing to the actual game file and the path did not get altered. In the emulation section make sure it is still linked to your emulator of choice. Then edit the emulator in LB and just confirm that in the Associated platforms tab the exact name of your Xbox 360 platform is listed.

You can easily test to see if your messing around in the xml caused the issue. 1. Remove that Xbox 360 xml file you edited. Do not delete it just move it out of the \Data\Platforms folder. 2. Go into your backups folder and open one of the zipped backup files from before you edited the xml. in the \Data\Platforms folder copy the unedited Xbox 360 xml file from there into your \Data\Platform folder where you removed the edited one. Make sure you do all this while LB is closed. It will not work if you do this with LB open. Then reopen LB and see if your games work again. If it does you know somewhere your edits messed up the platform.

Just downloaded Mame4Rage and added it to LB as well as Prima Rage 2 and the game launches without issue. Here is how I have the emulator set in LB. Then I just edited the game pointed the game to the Mame4Rage emulator instead of Mame. Are you having a launching issue or an import issue?

Working fine here. Just updated to that version and on Win10 as well. That error is not a LB error its from Windows so that is odd. I would double check your emulator setting in LB Manage Emulators and make sure you are pointing to the correct .exe file. Your Windows is up-to-date correct?

Ah, you are correct. I did not really look at the files of the Paperboy animated one to notice it had a lay file meaning normal Mame style overlay. With that animated GBA you made you could also make several colors of the GBA then set a hotkey to switch the overlay in game. Then you would be able to select a different color systems during game play.

Currently this is not possible.

His bezels are for use in Retroarch.

More examples of this in Orions thread. He has done some of these for Mame games. For Paperboy he did moving handlebars.

I have not looked specfically at what folder structure that theme uses but there is likely an image folder in the theme. So look there and it is most likely something akin to: StartupThemes\Custom Startup Image\Images\Platforms\[your exact platform name].jpg I do see in the theme’s thread the creator mentions how to file images is in the ReadMe.txt file. So I would look there.

Why are you using the same image and renaming it for all games? His Startup theme was made to show platform specific and/or game specific control image. So you would just need to have an NES platform named image and it would show the same image for any game launched for NES platform.

Change "auto" to \\.\DISPLAY and then the # of the monitor you want it on 1/2/3/4. So if Mame sees your main monitor as Display 1 your setting would look like below. # # OSD PER-WINDOW VIDEO OPTIONS # screen \\.\DISPLAY1

Not if they are on this forum. LB does not download from the forum. Theme videos come from EmuMovies. That image I posted is from the EmuMovies tab during game import. LB does not host game/game theme videos. So you need a paid EmuMovies account to download them from within the LB UI. Otherwise you have to manually download them and place them in your videos folder.

You are not accidentally unchecking the check box next to the option to create the playlists are you? If you open your \LaunchBox\Data\Playlists folder do you see all the Mame playlist xml files there?

There is not an option to set a default fallback, but LB does now have image priorities for Marquee category. You can set fallback image types. In LB >Tools >Options you will find in the Media section image priorities. Click on Marquee and tick the boxes of the images types you want to use. Then use the Move buttons to individually put them in the order you want them. When a game is missing a Marquee image it will display the next option available. In, addition BB default theme has specific Marquee View that will prioritize Marquee Video and Marquee Images. In the absence of either of those it will default to a Fanart and Clear Logo for the game. If you are using a custom theme you can copy the GameMarqueeView.xaml into the themes \Views folder to get the custom theme to use this feature.

Your likely seeing the difference between a "Gameplay" video and a "Theme" video. The ones with the fly-in and some images as you put it are actually full screen videos with all that artwork in the video itself. Your games that just have the plain old game play videos means you need to download "Theme - Video" if the game has one available. Not all games do.

No, It all depends on your video priority setting in LB. In LB go to >Tolls >Options and you will see a priorities are for image priorities and video priority. You can tick the video types you want used and then you can move those up or down to put them in priority order. The theme will show the top priority 1st and if a game is missing that video type it will show the next priority.
