Combined threads. There was already a thread for this. Another one was not needed.

You just change the view to a coverflow view. Each theme can support multiple view types depending on what the theme creator made. You can either change the view type in the options page under "Views" or bind a key or button for the option to Change View.

locked the thread because it has become unproductive. You are just repeating the same rants. So need for this thread to go on I want to ensure we can properly address your issues. I recommend you start a new thread and please keep it focused on reporting the specific issue and what steps you take to reproduce the issue. Let’s start fresh.

1. Just an FYI Neil was a member of our moderation team for many many years and still hangs around to assist. Assuming Neil is some lurker is quite laughable. 2. Neil was simply advising images can be hosted directly in your post. It as simple as dragging and dropping the image. However, if you feel it is easier for you to open a 3rd party site, upload an image, click and copy the link then return to the forum and post the link than that is fine. We understand with LB/BB not running as smoothly as you want this can cause frustrations. The best thing to do though is just come on the forum, let us know what is happening. Again the more details the better and let us help figure out if it is indeed a LB issue or something unique. Stable releases are not always going to be bug free. To expect that is unrealistic. I have never seen any software I have used over the past couple decades be bug free with updates. Something always slips through devs and testers. The logs do not show anything glaring. There are a few 403 errors. Then again, I am not the most savvy with deciphering our debug logs. Can you go into you \LaunchBox\Data folder and see if you have an ImageQueUu.xml file in that folder? If so remove it and then test scraping again. I am not sure it will help, but that file being corrupted has caused some users issues scraping.

Not sure about LB getting worse each iteration, but new features do bring out bugs. That is why the team is constantly working and providing updates. We did go through a decent work through with the EmuMovies team to work out some recent scraping issues LB users were having with EmuMovies media. That update seems to have users back on track. Countless users are enjoying the new versions with little to no issues. So it is not really a case of the sky is falling, but we can understand your frustration. Can you provide some specific details as to what exactly is going on. "Latest updates crashes on image search" - What steps are you taking? Does this affect every platform you search for images for or only certain ones? By crashing are you getting errors or is LB just locking up and you have to force close? "Mame Importer just freezes" - What import option are you using (Drag and Drop, Scan Folder, Full Mame Set Importer)? The more details you can provide on your issues the better we can troubleshoot.

Try and refresh the image cache in BigBox options.

Most games run through Tekno should not need admin rights any more. At least if you are using more updated dumps of the games and updated TeknoP. Sonic Racing runs fine without admin rights on my set-ups. As an FYI we recommend never running LB/BB as admin. It can cause more issue with emulators other than elevation issues.

You should uncheck the option to "Skip Non-Arcade Games" when importing for Mame.

Sure. In LB go to >Tools >Options. Once that opens in the left side look for the >Related Games section. In each of the Similar, Related, and Possible Ports sections you can add a new option to filter out those platforms. Just scroll to the bottom of the existing listing and select the appropriate cells. All those options are customizable.

Version 12.10 - Released April 27, 2022 Improvement: The EmuMovies API has been overhauled to fix the stability issues and improve performance

Merges threads since you already had a topic going with this issue. No need for a second thread. Updated title to reflect the issue also affects 12.11.

Merged threads. The original one was fine where it was. Especially since one of our devs was already responding.

Find as in? Find where to download or find where LB stores them? If it is where to find them to download then marquees (if available for game) can be downloaded form within the LB media downloader from both our GamesDB and/or Emumovies. You can also go to our downloads section in the forums. https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/category/19-game-marquee-images/

I recommend posting the video directly on the forum.

Filing looks correct. How are you changing themes in BigBox? Are you changing in the settings area or using a button/key to change live while you are in the game or platforms view? I would recommend mapping a key/button to the option for "Switch Theme" this way you can be in the platform or game list and change the theme in real time to see the change. Also map for the option of "Switch View" as each theme has certain views the theme creator designed.

Are you talking about in game? If so, LB/BB has no affect on in game controls. All that is handled by the emulator.

What about the other pic I asked for?

In LB emulator setting do you have the correct default command line parameters for each of the arcade systems Demul can run? Can you post a couple of pics of your demul setup from LB. Show an image of the "Details" tab and and image of the "Associated Platforms" tabs.

Adding onto @C-Beats request and focusing on the forum downloads I would say make sure you extracted the them from the zip and it is in the correct folder location. All forum themes you be unzipped and located: \LaunchBox\Themes\[Theme Name]\(contents of the theme) If you can provide an image of the content of the themes internal folder (make sure we can see the folder path as well). This will help us eliminate it being a file/location error.

How did you download theme? From the forum or from within the BB UI?

Lets keeps the thread to topics related to beta testing please. If you think a feature is needed use the “Request a Feature” link.

Look in the Mame.ini for the area below. The Default might have screen set to auto. Try changing it to \\.\DISPLAY1 or \\.\DISPLAY2 depending on how Mame sees your monitors. # OSD PER-WINDOW VIDEO OPTIONS # screen \\.\DISPLAY1

It should work fine. I was using a 21:9 up until a couple weeks ago when I gave it to my nephew to replace his broken one. I do not know what could be your issue just offering that I know marquees work on the size screen. There are a couple other members I know use one as well.

I am going to assume you are using Mame. I would check in your Mame settings (either in the Mame settings menu or your Mame.ini file) and confirm what screen you have Mame set to launch to.
