If you are using LB/BB Startup themes and have custom xaml for each platform the xml file name needs to match the actual platform name you have in LB. Is your Arcade platform called "Mame"?

LOL. Thanks you two. I did not even think about the age of the theme. I forgot a new one was done.

Yeah, it does appear to be something affecting use from both sides. So I would say if you are importing and do not want to deal with the slow down I would remove log in info for EmuMovies for now.

Looks like you are using a 3rd party plug-in. So that is not something LB would have activated by default.

Media wise it is pretty easy to get what you need. 1. During new import of roms the Import Wizard has screens that pop-up to allow you to pick and choose media you want to download from the LB database. If you have LB license and EmuMovies there are screens for downloading directly from them as well in the import wizard. 2. After import you can always re-scrape media by selecting a single game or multiple games and using the Media/Metadata importer. After you selected the games simply poit your mouse to >Tools >Download >Update Media and Metadata for Selected Games. BigBox uses all media you downloaded from setting up games in LB. BB comes with a Default theme, but if you want different looks you have to download different themes. There are a selection made available to download directly inside the BB UI or you can download more options from the forums.

Just tested importing about 5 Wii U rpx files and LB had no issues importing. I did use the drag and drop option as scanning typically does not work well since LB does not care about file types nor does it know to look for rpx files. So it will just import files it finds. In cases like Wii U with all the files each game has drag and drop is a better option.

If you have not watched any of our theme making workshops hosted by Faeran I would watch a few. He shows how to do a lot of things in the theme creator. This one below around 23:00 mark he animates an image moving on/off screen.

Themes have to be downloaded. If you are trying to enable them from in the BigBox UI you would have wither already had downloaded a theme from the forum and placed it in your \LaunchBox\Themes folder or there are some available for download directly in the BIgBox UI. The only reason BB would need internet connection is if you are downloading a theme in the BB UI.

I would think if you find the line for "Text="{Binding Path=ActiveGame.Title}" it may be within a "DockPanel" and there should be a "Margin" listed. You may be able to adjust that margin. It will likely have 4 numbers. Looks something like Margin="0,15,0,10" (those are just random numbers I entered). The numbers are for Left, Top, Right, Bottom respectively. So adjusting the Top (2nd number in the code) might alter it. Keep it mind it couold also affect items below it. The game metadata if not in the same DockPanel may be in another dockPanel. So it will be trial and error. Honestly though I am not 100% sure as I do not know if that will affect it as much with your display set to 250%. I will tag @faeran as he has way more coding knowledge/skills than me.

Do you have the correct cores selected in LB? If the games run fine directly in RA then it is a LB setting issue. Can you provide pics of your setting. In LB tools >Manage >Emulators and edit RA. Post 2 pics. 1 of the Details tab and 1 of the Associate Platforms tab showing the platform names affected.

The "Override" only affects the setting of the select theme. It does not allow you to apply a different Startup theme for that particular game. As of now there is not an option to do "per game" Startup/Pause/Shutdowns.

Merged many of the threads about this same issue.

I merged your post with this one. There were already 4 posts about the issue.

Not really. Should be able to just add a margin to that TextBLoxk or StackPanel depending on how the code was written. 16:9 though should not be an issue as that is likely was the theme was coded display wise. Do you have your scaling larger than 100%? That might be causing the issue. What view are you using in the theme? (>BigBox Settings >Options >Views and what view is showing in the Game List View section?

Are you using straight coding in text or VS or are you using the Community Theme Creator?

If yo do not want the clear logo showing and want to add a second game image the code for the theme has to be edited. You would also have to edit the code to alter the text layout issue. What is the aspect ratio of the monitor you are using?

So, if I understand you correctly the code you posted above is that in both your PlatformMarqueeView.xml and you GameMarqueeView.xml, correct? If correct, then yeah that is your issue. The platform level this code will not work as it is looking for a "SelectedGame" and on the platform level a game is not selected. A game can only be selected once you go into the platform and see the game list.

It is not version related. There are several threads in the forums about this. Users are even seeing EmuSync slowing down. So looks like EmuMovies might be having some issues. Some users have just removed Emu log in details from LB for now.

Have you tested other themes to make sure it is not a theme issue? How do you have the the two monitors set to display in your Windows settings? Stacked on top of each other or side-by-side? Marquee monitor on the right should fix it.

Unfortunately there is not a current way. Maybe something could be edited in the LB theme, but I am not aware of any existing binding.

Does it only show when you view images full screen?

This....

If you are wanting to use the same default image across all platforms that shows until you go into the game list and start scrolling through games there is not a setting to do this. You can either do it the way you have (pasting the same image in the \[Platform Name]\Banner\ folders or you would have to create a custom coded PlatformMarqueeView.xaml that could point to that image in a single specified folder. You would have to copy that xaml into all the themes you use if you want each theme to do the same thing. You rarely have to worry about it messing up a theme as there are not many themes that actually create a custom marquee view.
