I cannot say I have ever experienced this on any of my setups, but most times I boot the cabinets and walk off so I may be missing it. Does not mean it is not a possible bug. I think there were some prior posts on this. I would try other videos and let us know if it still happens.
Also, it seems like you might be doing an outdated setup for your startup video. You do not need to name it startup.mp4 anymore. You can create a folder called Startup and place it in the \Launchbox\Videos folder and place any amount of videos in it.. They can be named anything you want. BB will use one at random on start up now.

In BB options go to the Views section. Check the box for "Remember Separate View per Platform". Then in either keyboard or controller bindings set a key/button to the "Change View" option. Now when in a cartridge based system you can hit the change view key/button to set that platform to the view that does not spin the cart. Unfortunately you have to do this one by one.

I bought the license from here. however, what about the Lunchbox that is a free program. regular lunchbox also giving me same error Code.
If you bought the license from our site email support as I mentioned. That license is tagged as a pirated license.
Yes, LB is free, but the paid license also affects premium features in LB. So, as @Lordmonkus also mentioned, you have to remove to use the free version.
-
@moali The error means the license you are using is known to be a shared/pirated license. By removing the bad license.xml you can use the freeware version. We welcome you to purchase a valid license directly from our site.
If you feel this is an error please email support@unbrokensoftware.com with the license information and they can research the issue.

So I just noticed that in manage emulators the box (no space before ROM was checked) I unchecked and everything seems to be working fine now. Why would that be checked all of the sudden? Or if it was already checked why the change in the operation of everything?
It should not be on by default. I do not believe any of the updates to this version of LB affected any emulator settings except for a few emulators had a default AHK script updated.
-
@derekDemara I moved your post to a more appropriate thread.
When you downloaded the newer Retroarch did you place it in a new folder or did you upgrade your existing Retroarch set-up? If you placed the new version in a new folder did you go into LB and update the emulator set-up to link to the new .exe in the new folder?
If you simply updated the old version inside the same folder everything should still work as long as RA works since LB would be linked to that same .exe in that folder. Knowing exactly how you updated would be helpful in troubleshooting.

@adu Apologies. Tagged the wrong users. I corrected my post.

It would be helpful to us as well as the theme creator if you provide some more insight. Are you getting any errors? When or what are you doing when it crashes? Do you get similar crashes with other themes?
-
Yes. All in game controls are mapped directly in each unique emulator. The LB/BB mappings are only for inside of LB/BB.
-
Yes. All you have to do is create a new emulator listing and give it a unique name. Point to the right mame exe and be sure in the Associated Platform for the new emulator to add the name of the platform or platforms that will use the emulator.

Check out Faeran’s latest theme. He made one specifically related to the new Wall Views.
-
It should not matter the game in Ryujinx. Your closing the active window which is the emulator so it would shut down any game ran by Ryujinx.
If you play a different game in Ryujinx does it close?
Any chance your are running Ryujinx as Admin?

You cannot edit the Default theme directly as it will always revert to is default code. You can copy the Default theme folder and name it what you want. Then you can edit it the code to what you like. If you are not running the latest beta there have been improvement to the Wall View and it looks more like what you are asking for. So you can either copy and edit the default theme, test the beta version, or wait for the next stable release to use the new Wall Views.

The issues with themes and external EXFat drives is known. It is not recommended to run LB.BB on external drives formatted to ExFat. I have not read up much on it since this post below. But this is from one of the beta releases last year where Jason mentions this. NTFS is recommended.
On 9/1/2020 at 11:13 AM, Jason Carr said:Hey all, the first 11.5 beta is out now with the following:
-
Improvement: Better theme compatibility for installs that don't support symbolic links (such as on network drives or external drives running the exFAT file system). Not all themes are supported in this scenario, but theme support should be much improved. We still do not recommend running LaunchBox or Big Box off of a network drive or an external drive with the exFAT file system.
-
Fixed: Logging out of Origin was not always working correctly
We may end up working on more fixes for a bit before diving into new features, but we'll be focusing on the remaining poll items here shortly.

I'd like to try out the beta but I don't know where to download it.
It is in the options menu.
LB >Tools >Options >Updates you will find the tick box for betas.

8 minutes ago, kevin.k said:Hello, the request is resolved on BitBucket! , Is it possible to do a simple tutorial for this using the "Default theme folder" (since it's the one I'm using to build the new theme)
I mean, which XAML file(s) and which line(s) to edit?
I'm sorry, but I'm still a novice in XAML stuff. A complete edited file(s) from the "Default theme folder" will be greatly appreciated if possible
Many Thanks in advance for all the help!Doubtful anyone will write a tutorial. Best thing I can recommend is posting in our Xaml Tips & Tricks thread and see if any of the theme developers that post there can offer advice. Also, in case you were not aware, you cannot edit the default theme in its own folder. You have to copy the default theme and name it anything you want. Then you can edit that version. The default theme if edited directly will always revert to its default coding to ensure LB/BB always has a working theme.

@C-Beats I do not believe newer versions of Mame have the Mame64.exe anymore. Looks like it is just a mame.exe. At least in 228 and 229 versions I have that is what is showing. Have not updated to 230.
-
@Kiinkyfoxx I was not sure if it would as the error was a bit different than the others. I will tag @C-Beats and see if he can chime in.

Try forcing a Games Metadata update. In a few posts with a similar root error when importing game this fixed it. In the "hamburger" menu you should find the force update option under "Help".
-
You can get LB to recognize them by importing the zipped file that would normally come in a Mame set. Also be sure to set the Scrape As to "Arcade" for the metadata. Looks like you are trying to import the contents from the rom zip.
-
You have to edit the theme. Depending on the view you are using you would need to edit that view's xaml file and comment out or just delete the line of code for the time. In Unified it should be easy enough to find as each of the data sections is pretty well labeled.

Sorry, I know that this is a beta debug post but I am lost with all new terminology Flow,Wall etc and I think I am not the only one.
Could there be a simple tutorial explaining these things with some screenshots along?
Thank you
All that is to do with coding a theme. So not sure if there will be a simple tutorial done on coding. FlowVideo is a control the devs put in for better video control when creating a theme. WallView is just one of the different view types a creator can design in the theme.

Only if you check the box to “Skip Game Details” in the BigBox menu. This does remove it from showing from when you select a game, but if you ever need it you can simply map a button in BB menu to being it up.

Check the Platform.xaml. I believe there is a BigBoxTheme and BigBoxView listing in each platform there.

Each theme has a Views folder. Look in there. You would need to edit the one for the specific view you are using. You will be looking for something like WheelGamesView.xaml or TextGamesView.xaml for example. If you do not know which view you are using go into BB and in the options look in the Views section. It will tell you the view you are using for that theme.
