That rom name is not correct. Mame roms are named a specific way and cannot be changed. Your image shows you are trying to launch 720-01.zip. This is why LB cannot get mame to run the game. I am going to guess you had LB move the roms when you imported them. If that rom is already in the folder LB moves it to then LB will rename the file with a -01. You need to point LB to the 720.zip rom file. I would check the names of some other games as well see if that is the same issue.

>Tools>Manage Emulators and Edit your Retroarch. Uncheck the "Default Emulator" in the Associated Platforms tab in the line with Arcade. By having that checked you are telling LB to use RA as the default emulator for your Arcade platform, but you have all the games linked to standalone Mame.

Right click and edit a game. In the emulation section see if RA or Mame is listed. If Mame is listed then that game is set to launch with Mame and not RA which is why you are getting the set as default prompt.

The fact that you have Arcade listed in the Associated Platforms tab and have it set to the Mame core with the Default box checked is why LB is asking you do you want to set RA as default emulator. It is not asking about the core. It is just asking do you want to set RA as default emulator for Arcade. This typically happens when you have games using a different emulator in that platform. Is your Arcade platform using Retroach Mame or is it using standalone Mame? Check some actual games. Right click some games and choose edit. In the emulation see if it is linked to RA or standalone Mame.

You can click "No" and it will not mess anything up. With that prompt that means somehow in your Associated Platforms tab Arcade is listed and is being linked to that core. Edit your Retroarch in LB and see what is listed in the Associated Platforms tab. Make sure there is no Arcade platform referenced and being linked to that core. Sharing a pic of the Associated Platforms tab might help us to see if we can spot anything odd.

Did you put the themes in the correct folder and unzip the file that was downloaded? The theme needs to be unzipped and placed in the \Launchbox\LBThemes folder.

Good. That is typically one area for an error. Looks like you said the games works fine when ran directly in Mame without using LB/BB (well that's a loose interpretation of what you describe doing). This typically means a setting issue in LB. Go back into Manage emulators and edit Mame again. Share the pics below. 1. Pic of the Details Tab. 2. Pic of Associated Platforms tab. Edit a Mame in game in LB (right click and edit on a game) and show: 1. Pic of Launching tab 2. Pic of Emulation tab.

Those are not custom themes. You are using the "Default" LB theme. You are talking about your background image. The Default theme blurs the background image. These are Launchbox custom themes. To reduce the blur in LB go to >Tools>Options. Then in the >Visuals>Backgrounds tab lower the Background Blur.

A pic of what you see as I asked would be helpful.

What version Mame are you using? If you edit Mame in LB (>Tools>Manage Emulators and edit Mame...), in the Associated platforms tab for Mame do you have your arcade platform name listed?

Can you share a pics of what you see? Not sure what theme you are mentioning below. Do you mean Neon Deluxe Arcade? Does the Default LB theme look correct?

Are you setting this in the Global setting section or in the Theme Specific section? If the theme you are using has a Theme Specific override then changing the global setting option will not affect that theme or any that have an override.

@crispy4000 Theme looks good. I like the subtle fade with the highlight staying on the game in the active row and the clear logo. So far it runs pretty smooth with no errors. I do want to mention I had to rename the folder the just "List Scroll" as I was not getting images for the ESRB and the Stars. Since you named the folder List Scroll v0.3 inside the zip it was not finding the images since the theme is looking for "List Scroll" folder name. Also recommend either adding a scroll text for the platform names or an expanding text box/label for platforms with longer names.

No, this was never something looked at for implementation and was not something that made the poll of the current items being developed. If there is not a BitBucket ticket for it I would recommend opening one and linking it here on this thread. The more votes it can get the better chance it has of making it to a poll to be voted on. To make a ticket use the link found at the top of the forum under the "Help & Support" menu. Look there for "Request a Feature"

It may also depend on how you are displaying the FlowImage, but testing with the default theme BorderThickness in the coverFlow:FlowContext should change that. I just made an edit there on a copy of the default theme and it made the border thinner. <coverFlow:FlowContext> <Border BorderThickness="10" Width="1280" Height="960">

Can you post the xml file or files you edited. Easier if I see that one and fix it. Make sure it still has the edits you did that are giving you the error.

Tested it and was able to remove the date/time. Make sure when you delete it you do not delete the part in the code with </Grid> If you look back at what you pasted it is the last line of that code. That piece belongs to the bigger grid piece of the code. Removing it likely caused your issues. If you want just copy this and paste it over top of the exact lines in this code. All I did was comment it out. It still leaves the code in there just makes it not a working part. Make sure to highlight only the exact lines. <!--DATE, TIME AND WEATHER --> <!-- x:Name="DateTimeWeather" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" > <DockPanel Height="45" Width="349" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" > <TextBlock Text="{Binding CurrentTime}" FontFamily="{StaticResource FontBebasNeue}" FontWeight="Bold" VerticalAlignment="Center" DockPanel.Dock="Right" FontSize="35" Foreground="Crimson" /> <TextBlock Text=" " FontFamily="{StaticResource FontBebasNeue}" FontSize="35" VerticalAlignment="Center" DockPanel.Dock="Right" /> <TextBlock Name="tbArrivalDateTime" Text="{Binding Source={x:Static sys:DateTime.Today}, StringFormat='{}{0:MMMM dd, yyyy}'}" FontFamily="{StaticResource FontBebasNeue}" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Right" DockPanel.Dock="Right" FontSize="35" Foreground="Gold" /> <TextBlock Text=" " FontFamily="{StaticResource FontBebasNeue}" FontSize="35" VerticalAlignment="Center" DockPanel.Dock="Right" /> </DockPanel> </Viewbox-->

Looking at your emulator list you may want to check all of your emulators. I can also see for PSP you are pointing to a zip file and not an actual .exe.

What theme is it and what view file are you editing?

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.

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.

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.

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.
