You have to uncheck that playlist box the import wizard. Uncheck the box at the bottom that says "Create Playlists for Mame..."

We appreciate the passion, but there is no fear BigBox will be left behind. We have two devs that actively keep developing the software. Active marquees and 3 monitors are still pretty niche when it comes to the user's requests. Do not get me wrong, I am not saying it has not been asked for by a good bit of users over the years, just more users are not using 2 and 3 monitors than are. So when it comes poll time the request for marquee typically gets beat out by other features. Upgraded marquee support is one I have been actively looking for over the years. You can already do a lot with marquee support as it is. Multiple images, custom images such as controls, metadata, videos work with a plugin.

That is currently not an option. Playlist removal is done in LB so would require you to keep handy a keyboard. On all my cabinets I keep one of those small wireless keyboards for random maintenance when needed.

Sure. Top of forum site under “Help & Support” there is a feature request link.

If you have multiple Box - Front images for one game in your Box - Front image folder you cannot specify which one is default. LB will only randomize them. You can dictate whether you want Box - Front or Box - Front - Reconstructed to be priority over the other, but as with my first comment if in either one of those image types you have more than one image for a game you cannot specify which of those images is a default.

BigBox does not control what goes on within an emulator. So if the emulator does not support the vertical view adjustment you need BB cannot change it.

In BugBox you map it to the option called “Close Active Window”.

Or, if coding something, you can use Eatkinola's Ao.BigBox plugin and code a GameMarqueeView.xaml and PlatformMarqueeView.xaml that can be put into any theme. The video looper in it works in a marquee view. I have not messed it in a while, but should still work in latest versions of BB. I know a couple theme creators also mentioned using it.

In your \Videos folder place a new folder called Startup. Inside it place any video you want to play. Naming of the video file does not matter. BB will then use a random one at startup.

Likely not something high on the list since most people use randomized startup videos instead of startup sounds. It definitely would be a useful feature to have it randomize. If you want them to consider a feature request all feature requests are done via the “Request a Feature” link found at the top of the forum under Help & Support.

I do not believe you can randomize the startup sound. You can change it though. In your \Sounds folder you can create a new folder named whatever you want. Then drop a sound file in there and name the file Startup.wav. In BigBox>Options>Sounds set it to the folder you created with the startup sound. It will then use that audio to override the default BigBox one.

There is an auto play option under the >View menu.

It has to do with how the scroll bar was coded for the default theme. If you want to change it to how the old default work I posted steps in this thread.

There will not be any logs as technically LB does not see an error. It sends the command line to RA to run the game and it does not register if it RA does run it or not. The best thing to do is determine if it is a disconnect in LB or actually something in RA directly. So let's start from the beginning then. Without using LB at all. Can you run a game directly in Retroarch and it work? If the answer is yes that usually means a disconnect in LB. The most common culprits are: 1. Wrong paths (games or emulator or both). 2. Missing or misnamed Associate Platforms. 3. Missing or incorrect cores. Can you post a few pics: 1. >Tools > Manage Emulators and share 2 pics. One of the Details Tab and one of the Associated Platforms tab. 2. Edit a game and share 3 pics. 1). the Launching Tab 2). the Emulation Tab 3). The metadata tab

If you did not uncheck the option for "rough matching", depending on how many games you are importing, this would cause an increase in download times. That feature compares each downloaded image to other images to reduce downloading duplicated images.

There have been a lot of changes since 2018 and the latest version. When you update the easiest thing to do is just run the update and let it install over top of the existing build. Doing it how you did can cause issues, not always, but it can. I would first say confirm emulator path and game path in LB. In LB > Manage Emulators edit Retroarch and confirm the path it is showing for the exe is the correct path to it. I would also, just to be safe, check the Associated Platforms tab and make sure the platform names listed there match your LB platforms and the cores associated are correct. Then pick a game, right click and edit it. Check the path to the game is the correct path as well as make sure it is using Retroarch.

There is a running topic on crashes when left in attract mode. I would say post there and keep an eye on that thread. Our dev has responded there a few times.

In LB >Tools>Options if you look in the Visuals > Game Details section there should be a check box for videos.

@baboo1969 Glad you got it working, but again, not sure why you run emulators as admin. It is not needed. As @neil9000 mentioned LB should not be run as admin and the dev even recommends not to. So just an FYI others issue can occur so if you choose to leave it, than you run this risk.

Not sure why you run emulators as admin it is not needed. Also if you are running LB as admin that is not recommended at all. I would try running ryujinx not as admin and test the script I posted, Yes, we know one of the defaults LB uses for AHK on some emulators is the Process, Close command. It was discovered a while ago this is not a clean close command and we have been advising users to get away from that script wording.

@baboo1969 Did you try the script I posted a few posts up? The one you are showing has been reported not to work. I know you said you tried all sorts, I just want to confirm if you used that specific one. Are you running the emulator as Admin by chance? Also Process, Close is not a good script to use at all.

Where did you paste the autohotkey script? Are you using a button combo to exit the game or are you just hitting the Escape key?

Also look for the most recent version of the game dump you can get. Many games can load directly through Tekno and no longer need things like Game Loader RH. Last year I redid pretty all of my games that use TeknoParrot and I no longer fuss with Game Loader RH at all. Emuline would be a good site to visit for TeknoParrot related games.

There is a switch on the back. Position 1 is keyboard, Position 2 is for custom mapping, 3 is d-input, and 4 is x-input.

In game controls are all handled by each emulator. So you set your tankstick up directly in the emulator. The controls in LB are primarily for moving around in LB/BB and the button command to exit the game/emulator when playing to return back to LB/BB
