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.

@Gef Per Neils advice. It is right in the LB media UI. Just make sure the clear logo box is checked. It will download, name, and store in the proper place.

@Briantodd What theme are you using?

@Briantodd Can you post the marquee files you are using.

Ah. My eyes saw Dolphin Wii System menu but the brain only processed Dolphin. Looks like @neil9000 might have you covered.

In LB you can right click a game and in the menu choose the option to Launch Dolphin. In BB I do not believe there is such an option. At least I do not see one on the Game Details screen.

OK. I think the "Auto-Populate" is causing the issue for some reason. The only way I would get the images to show was to edit the playlist and in the auto-populate tab uncheck the box. I also had to select a place for the playlist to show as in the Parents folder you did not have anything selected. Can you uncheck auto-ppopulate in the playlist and see if it works.

Thanks. The images were not showing as my page had not refreshed from your edit. Yeah that all looks good. Post that fighting xaml and let me test it on my set-up. None of your playlists show at all right?

If all the images are there and named "Mame Fighting" that really is all that is needed as the theme will dictate the images. So there is no setting you need to check. I keep all my playlists in a Playlist Category. I moved a couple of them to nest under Arcade Platform no issue. Can you post an image of the inside of your \Data\Playlist folder?

You likely do not have custom theme images then for your playlists in the Unified theme's \Images\Theme folders. In order for a custom playlist image to show up when you are in a playlist you would need to have images for at least \Background and \VideoBorder. Otherwise it will just use the platforms default images.

@Briantodd Not sure which xaml in this thread you tried, but like @C-Beats mentioned if you just edit the "Stretch" to either "Fill" (which will stretch the entire image to fill the available space) of "UniformToFill" (which will crop the image as it fills the space). Possibly even change the Alignment from "Center" to "Stretch" One of the xaml I posted here already has the image set to fill. (see the below code) <Image Source="{Binding Path=SelectedGame.MarqueeImagePath}" Panel.ZIndex="1" Stretch="Fill" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality">

You can try downloading the latest version from our website. Then just run that installer over top your existing LB folder. Make sure you point it to the parent folder you LaunchBox folder is in and not the actual LB folder or it will install it in \LaunchBox\LaunchBox. It will not delete anything or override any of your settings. It will just install the new updates.

Check your antivirus to see if it quarantined any LB files. It has been known to happen. Especially in the more recent LB builds. Antivirus programs have been a bit overzealous on us.

Or you can use the rom path change option in the LB tools.

What emulator?
