None of the changes made would have affected image quality. There were improvements to video support as well as updating the default marquee view xaml to support fallback options. Can you post an image of what you are seeing. Also are you using a theme that may have a custom marquee view? Do you see this on all themes you try?

There are not tutorials, but if you go to our Youtube (Unbroken Software) page you can see Faeren make themes in the Creator. Also Y2guru’s Youtube he demoes updates he has made.

Are you using the Default LB theme or a custom one?

There is not public roadmap as to development plans. Videos are something the team does plan to get implemented. Best I can recommend is checking the beta thread as many times things the team is working on is mentioned in there.

Not really sure as I am unsure on the issue. Is the issue that you have the necessary platform name in the Associate Platforms tab and the correct core selected, but the games do not work? Did you also select the games in the platform and choose RA as the emulator? Edit a game and in the Emulation page make sure RA is showing. Can you share pics of your edit emulators screens for Retroarch? Be sure to show the "Details" page and the "Associated Platforms" page with those platform names viewable.

Emulators are simply linked to a platform by adding the platform’s name to the Associated Platform tab in the Manage Emulator’s tool. >Launchbox >Tools >Manage Emulators then edit the emulator.

If you are using the same emulator for different platforms it should not matter what platform you are in. The exit is related to the emulator. Are you using Mame for your CPS platforms?

Are you able to run the games directly in the emulator? If not, then the best thing to do is start there and get the games playing there. Then, if they work in the emulator and not in LB we know it is a setting issue in LB directly.

All feature requests should be done using the "Request a Feature" link located at the top of the forum under "Help & Support". This allows us to better track them and see user votes to gauge community desire.

What does the script look like you are using? Can you post the whole script you have in the Running AHK tab?

That error is what Jason is talking about here...

You would have to modify a marquee view from another theme and place those files in the Pulse theme's \Views folder or create the marquee view for that theme. There is not setting to adjust the image/video size it is all up to how the view is coded. What are you trying to accomplish exactly? An image of the look you want would be helpful.

There is no current way to do it. I would suggest making a feature request using the link located at the top of the forum under "Help & Support" 1. Make sure to search to see if a request already exists. 2. If not, make a new one and be sure to vote for your own ticket. 3. Link that bitbucket request in this thread to help drive other users that may desire the feature to vote on the ticket.

None. Just create the \Startups folder and drop your video files in there. I have videos ranging from 20 seconds to over a minute. I am not sure if this will have an affect but in the BB settings try changing your video from VLC to Windows Media (or vice versa) and see what happens. I do not remember if Startups use the option listed there or if it uses VLC regardless.

This was removed years ago. BigBox now plays startup videos in its entirety before going into the BB UI. You can also have more than one video and BB will use a random one.

Just be mindful if you are using the Default theme you cannot do any of this to that theme. Any edits will always revert back to the stock code. So you need to copy the Default theme folder and then rename it to any name you want to give it. Then you can edit that copy and use that theme.

By emulator files are you talking about the roms? LB is file agnostic so if you point to a folder and tell LB to import that folder it will import any file in there. So best thing to do is not have personal files in the folder.

In the theme you are using edit the PlatformMarqueeView.xaml and change the image binding from: Source="{Binding Path=SelectedPlatform.BannerImagePath}" to Source="{Binding Path=SelectedPlatform.ClearLogoImagePath}" As far as customizing marquee per platform there is no setting in BB UI you can use to do that. So you would have to do some coding and folder/file creation. To accomplish this you can create custom xaml files for different platforms. 1. In your theme's \Views folder create a folder called GameMarqueeView. So it would be \[Theme Name]\Views\GameMarqueeView\ 2. Inside this folder if you copy the GameMarqueeView.xaml and paste it in here and then rename it after a platform you can then edit that file and that platform will have a unique marquee view for games. For example "Arcade" would be \[Theme Name]\Views\GameMarqueeView\Arcade.xaml. You can do this as many times as you want renaming the file exactly as your platform is named and each can have a unique view.

Currently there is not a way to do that. You can pop over to our BitBucket site and put in a feature request. Use the link at the top of the forum located under "Help & Support". 1. Make sure you vote for your own ticket. 2. Be sure to return here and post a link to it to drive other users to vote on it. More users that request it the better for it to possibly get added.

I believe that was what @faeran was explaining. Take for example your "Driving / FireTruck" playlist in the pic you posted. If you right click on it and choose Edit then go to "auto-populate" tab and you will see what criteria (metadata) the playlist is pulling from. Like in this one below "Driving / Boat" is pulling games in the 1) Arcade platform and 2) which have a "Genre" listing of "Driving / Boat".

Good to know. For reference though I got that error the first time I tried to use the new feature and ran just the core updater on one cabinet. So I went to another a few minutes later and tried to run the Retroarch update and got the same error.

@Azgorath I had this issue as well. It happened on a couple builds I have. I tried several times and then waited a few hours to try again I did not have the issue. So I am thinking maybe just an ISP hiccup or something connecting the the RA servers. I have since tested this feature several more items and have not had it replicate. Since your post about the error have you had any success with the feature?

Just by looking at the commands you are not calling for any extra programs to run or anything so why are you using a bat file? Just let LB do the work. Then you just use LB controller mapping to set your button or button combo to exit the game. If you are using BigBox set it to the option labeled "Close Active Window".

Check to see in your task manager processes if Nahimic services is running. If so, disable it.

@GefTry right clicking one game and editing it. Then go into the images section and click the download media button in the bottom right and try to download from there. See if at least one game works and let us know what happens.
