Of course it could have more. However, feature integration has to be triaged since we only have 2 devs. Upgrades stand a better chance of getting implemented if more users request it. The best way that is done is to create a topic for it on the forum, then use the "Request a Feature" option at the top of the forum under "Help & Support". Finally, link that bitbucket ticket back in the thread to drive user votes. Not shooting down any new features, but for me Attract Mode does all I need it to. Play random game and platform videos. Anything more is just watching the screen instead of playing games.

This view is edited in the OptionsPage.Xaml. Example shown of the color changed. The others I have never messed with and I have not seen any spot to edit those so it may be something under the hood in BigBox code. So will have to wait for our devs on those.

When you use an external folder for you roms do you go into LB and change the default Games folder location of the platform?

I know you did not say it did. I was confirming it directly. This issue can be easily replicated inside or outside LB folder structure.

It has nothing to do with folder location. For some reason when selecting to use the Mame data LB is not recognizing the games. You can uncheck that option and LB will find the games. So it seems to be having trouble finding the Sammy roms matched against the Mame.xml. I will let Jason know.

Not from within the LaunchBox UI.

When selecting the option to "Force Using Mame Metadata" when importing something like Sammy Atomiswave you get stuck in the "Ready to Import" screen and cannot use the Back button. If you click the Back button it will quickly flash a Mame screen and just stay in the Ready to Import screen. You have to cancel out if you need to go back and make a change. I was testing these option due to an issue someone was having in another thread when I noticed this. Also, same as was mentioned by the two prior users, when progressing through the process you get a quick flash of the Mame wizard screen with the check boxes to exclude all the junk and make the playlists. It is real quick that it flashes.

Logs are found in the \Logs folder.

You recognized its the duplicate searching that is the issue so try turning off the “rough matching” option in the import media wizard.

That's the old way that was changed quite a few version ago. I believe from another post the user did have it in that format. Are you using VLC or Windows Media for you video setting in BigBox? If you change to the other option you are not using what happens? Have you made sure all you drivers are updated? Safe to assume platform and game play videos work fine once you are in BigBox?

For that though what @neil9000 has advised is unfortunately what the situation is. This is not something LB can do during game play. It can only show the marquee on a second screen.

Are you talking about during actual game play?

Not sure how quickly you will get help for this problem here. This is a Launchbox forum and LB does not run on the RPi. A forum for the Pi may be better suited. I know we have some Pi users here, but like I said help might be slow here.

Currently it is not. Feel free to put it in as a feature request. At the top of the forum under Help & Support is a link to our bitbucket site. Add a feature request there and then link it back in this thread to drive votes to it. The more votes, the better chance it will get looked at as a possible update to LB/BB.

Latest beta the bulk edit option does not show any added controllers in the "add" section. It does show your list of controllers in the "remove" section.

.webm do work in startup. I just tested again adding a couple new .webm videos and each launched fine. Also, I see you are using the old way of startup videos. This change quit a long time ago. The updated way of Startup videos is to create a folder called Startup in your \Videos folder \Launchbox\Videos\Startup\ Place any videos in that folder. Name does not matter and you can have as many as you want. Test it that way and see if it works.

Is the .webm just not working during Startup? BigBox does support .webm. Many of my pc gameplay videos are .webm. Also just checked and a couple of my startup videos are .webm. Are you using VLC or Windows Media in your BigBox video settings?

Before this turns south I am going to remind forum members the beta threads are not for feature requests or non-beta feedback topics. Our beta threads have been getting derailed which means our two devs have to waste time reading through unnecessary posts instead getting to the meat of the matter of beta troubleshooting. In the prior beta thread I advised non-beta posts will be edited or deleted going forward. If you are not providing actual feedback about things broken, fixed, or otherwise related to a beta release please start a separate thread in the appropriate sub-forum.

It should transition smoothly. BB startup video overhauled a while back and BB starts up when the video does and stays hidden until the video ends or you hit a button to cut short the video.

Can you share an image like I asked? I want to see the contents of the folder as it is right now.

Whenever you get the “0 imported” message this typically means LB sees the game have been imported already. Can you share an image of what the inside of your \Data\Platforms folder looks like? Also if you rerun the import and select the option for force import duplicates what happens?

That's about right. The full set importer is only importing the arcade roms the Mame.xaml is showing as working. If you left all the check boxes it excludes all those fruit machines, mahjong, and all the other junk. Also I deleted you other post since it was the same issue.

So you can import the games into LB, but it is when you switch between platforms thing go missing? Are you using any 3rd party software to scrape the media? Like skraper?

If each of those is a separate platform than each will have its own image folders. The clear logo for each should be located in the \Images\Platforms\[Platform Name]\Clear Logo folder. The png file for each should also be named exactly as the platform is named. I would check those folders and confirm the images are where they need to be and named correctly. If so, and the images still do not show go into the BB settings and in the >Options >Image Cache section refresh the image cache.

The libretro docs has steps on how to build a romset for this core. Not sure why you would go through all that trouble if you already have a .231 rom set. Why not just run the matching version of standalone Mame or the normal Mame RA core and save all the work?
