How old are those versions of Mame? That might be the issue if they are years old. Remove the line below from the default command line field and test.

so i created the playlist but when i click on it then click on parents playlist isnt showing what sholud i do
You would also have to create a category called "Playlist". It is not something there by default.
Right click any platform name on the left hand window pane of LB and a choose Add New > Category.
-
If you put something in that field that is what LB will use to sort by instead of the original title.

how do i right click the palylist name i dont know what u mean
You point to it with your mouse and right click. You have to be in LB not BB.
Did you create the playlist you want yet? Your original post made it sound like you have and just do not know how to get it to show in a playlist category. Or do you need help making a playlist as well?

The idea would be: Any time you want to play a randomized game, you'd randomize the ROM as normal and put it into a specific folder for that randomized game.
Guess I misread this statement about wanting to play a randomized game. Did not quite relate that to your title.

To make a new playlist show up in your Playlist platform category you must be in LB then right click the playlist name. Go to the parents tab. Make sure there is no check box ticked for "Root" and then place a check box next to your Playlist category.

I have this issue. In LauncBox I can not start any mame emulation. I imported my MAME games fine. I have 3 main mame emulators and launchBox launches none. But the emulators work as expected independently of launchBox. What is not setup correctly in launchBox?
In the Associated Platform tab for the emulator did you add the platform name?
>Tools>Manage Emulators and edit your Mame. Check the Associated Platforms tab.
Sharing pics of your edit emulator screen would help. (Pic of the main details tab and the Associated Platforms tab).
Not sure why you have 3 Mame emulators, but since you do, you need to make sure the platform is listed in all of them in the Associated Platforms tab.

LB has a randomizer. You can run it while in a platform or can just change LB view on the left pane to “All Games” then go >Tools>Select Random Game.
-
When it shows 0 games imported that means it is already in LB. Check to see if you have any if the “Hide Games Missing” items checked in the LB settings. They are located under the “Views” menu in LB.
-
Not sure what you mean “See the tabs”?
The menu items you are showing in the pics have nothing to do with what you downloaded. That section simply is what shows when the theme creator uploads the theme so users can download it directly in bigBox UI. What shows in those pics is based on how much information was provided when the theme was uploaded.
-
You can easily just rename the image files to match the name of your platform. Or add images and name them as you have your platforms named.

LB is only a launcher frontend. It only offers controller support to move around within its own UI. Anything else is up to the emulator or game or by using a 3rd party software (like Steam’s controller support).
-
If you are using Unified theme you may be missing images or have mis-named platforms. That theme does not come with all background and logo images. The theme creator made a bunch but not all anyone would need. Also, the images are named to more common platform names. So if you named your NES platform NES and not Nintendo Entertainment System it will not show the background and logo image.
Those background image are a combination of files located in \Themes\Unified\Images\Theme\Background and also the Logo folder.

Guys I know this is an old post but this is doing my head in total noob at this learning as I go along how do I get redream to stop booting up from launchbox ?
There is nothing special needed in the emulator settings in LB. Edit Redream in LB and post a pic of the Details tab a pic of the Associated Platforms tab.

Launch a game and hit Tab on your keyboard. Then map under the options for "Input (this machine)". Using Pole Position as an example you will bind your joystick under the "Dial Analog Inc" for turning right and "Dial Analog Dec" for turning left. Gas, brake, and shift are mapped to "Pedal 1 Analog Inc", "Pedal 2 Analog Inc", and "Gear Change" options.

What theme did you install?
In BigBox can you change to that theme and see it at all?
A pic of your View settings page in BigBox would be helpful.
-
Currently there is not option or steps to accomplish that. So for now it is just one video that will play.

Just checking in again on this.
Whats the best pathway for scenarios where a full import is impossible in one session? Incrementally or complete with errors then re-import / scrape?
Cheers
Increments would probably be best in this case. When you rescprape there should be some check boxes for it to now overwrite/replace existing media. I cannot remember accurately and I am not near my set-ups to double check. But there are some check boxes for this.

@Greatestdadever2 I am merging your threads. You keep posting questions related to the same issue in several threads and even started two threads of the same issue. We are not overtly strict on our forum, but we do try to limit the same thing being posted in several threads and starting multiple threads for the same issue. So please limit this with your posts.

I had stated that I had tried VPN as suggested, you responded with "did you really try it?" implying that I had lied for some reason, so yes I replied with sarcasm. I'm not here to argue. delete this thread if you like. I'll deal with the slowness
Below is your exact quote...you did not say you "tried VPN as suggested" you did say "I did this"...Did what? You tried a year ago what the other user only discovered this year was his problem? The users fix was a Comcast modem setting. Not to try VPN. Like I said you did not provide anything you actually tried. If you would have just stated with more clarity and less attitude it would probably been more helpful. You are arguing and being rude about things when people are trying to help and being polite about it. Not once did I speak down to you or even speak negatively of you. I asked a simple question of you to confirm if you actually changed the modem setting change. So on your request I will lock this thread. It will not get deleted as it is useful information for all to see.

Also, every other website/internet app works just fine. This is not the reason. The problem is not on my end. Edit: I'm trying on VPN now, will report back with results. Result: no difference. disappointed. thanks for trying to help

Did I actually check? no, I love wasting my time and yours. Of course I checked (PIA VPN from Vancouver for the record), otherwise I wouldn't have said it.
I asked a simple question. I did not need any sarcastic response. I was polite in my responses trying to help. You did not say you did anything from the other post. All you simply said was "I appreciate the reply, but this cannot be the case as I mentioned,...". Nothing in your prior post said anything like "Thanks I did look at that and tried what they mentioned and it made no difference". Something like that would have been helpful. The user in that thread said VPN showed a speed difference it was a setting in his router that was causing the issue. I never said it is a known issue. I said "tried known steps". Did you check that setting he mentioned?
Not sure why you have to have such a bad attitude to someone trying to help. So hopefully someone else is willing to try and help. I’m no longer willing.

I do not mess with Mame software lists but there is a plugin that might be useful to you. Figured I would bring it to your attention.

OK thanks I'll give that a shot. If i click cancel now then should I do anything to purge certain folders, considering that it seems that cancel also makes me lose anything successfully imported until now? Since the check for duplicates box will be unchecked if i cancel and restart, do I need to go in and remove them manually since it will be redownloading and not checking
You can leave or delete them. I would leave since LB will see it already downloaded the files for those games and not download again.
9 hours ago, maliusmaximus said:Also @Retro808 if I do scrape later does it mean the system can't be used during that scrape?
Yes, there is no background downloading for media. But at least you can import your systems and then one by one let them run overnight. Removing that rough match option should help a good bit. But you geographic location could also be an issue. We have seen some users in areas around the world have slower connection downloads that others. Not much we can do about that.
playlist confusion

You have to add the clear logo to the playlists image folder and name it exactly as the playlist is named. If they do not show after that go to BigBox settings and in images section refresh the image cache.
Sometimes you just have to wait. Small forum and not everyone responds.
