  1. On previous versions of launchbox, the image view in fullscreen was stretched to fullfill the screen, but in recent versions, this was changed and now each image has a footer text, with this the image is smaller and in my opinion this is not useful, I don't want to see "image 1 of 7" for example.

    I looked many times in the options, but seems this cannot be disabled, any clues on how do this?

    Thanks a lot.

    No, in this case your issue was specific to the PS2 platform as it was caused by a plugin for that system. The same issue you ran into would not of happened like that for any other platform as no others have that specific plugin. So yes you stating the platform WAS important information, and as soon as you mentioned it someone else gave you the solution to your exact issue. How do you not see that?

    Ok, I'm not going to spend more time trying to explain you that yes, with the platform name that user gave me the answer, because it has a relation with an specific plugin, but it was a coincidence. If I had the problem on any other platform with name "potato" or regarding any other emulator, and the problem was on the xml itselft or with launchbox, the name of the platform have not interest on that case.

    And they wouldn't of known to mention that if you hadn't stated the platform you were having the issue with. That is why details matter.

    Again... it was a coincidence, the platform is just a name you put in order to create the corresponding XML. I mean, you can have 3 or 4 plaftorms of the same console if you want, one of them with issues, and the others don't.

  4. I don't get your point, because you can create many platforms as you want and put any name, the platform itself is only a name. In this case I put "Sony Playstation 2" but is not the default platform by launchbox, but one I created long ago.

    In any case, I deleted this platform completely and started from scratch "doing fist a backup of the complete launchbox folder, of course" created the platform again with the same name, and the issue persist. This is very strange.

    Keep in mind any changes you make directly to the Default theme,will revert back to the default settings when you restart Big Box...you need to work off of a copy of the Default theme. You will need to change any references to the default theme,to point to your copy as well.

    Yes, I know that, sorry for no pointing before. But the question is not answered. I can change something in order to click in the image to see in fullscreen (Like if I press the "i" button) ?

    Also, I need to change the size of the game´s description text box, I want to move up a little, but I can´t find how to do this.

  6. Hi everybody, I´m trying to modify the "Default" theme in order to increase the size of the images. But I can´t manage to do this, I modified the "ThumbnailListBoxItemStyle.xaml" but none of the changes can be seen in the big box backend.

    All I want is increase the image size. But it would be perfect if I could just simply click on the image in order to view it in fullscreen (like launchbox by clicking in the lens icon of each image). I know this can be done by pressing "i" button, but I want to click or double click with the mouse to do this.

    Any Ideas? Thanks in advance!

    What are you using to play your movies? I use VLC, KODI and PLEX here and all three of those pass dts just fine to my AVR, in fact they pass DTS HD MASTER AUDIO also as well as all the Doldy Digital formats up to Dolby True HD, my AVR doesnt support Dolby Atmos so i cant test that or the DTS equivalent, but as i say everything else gets passed just fine.

    I use media player classic. The problem here is not the passing of DTS to my AVR, that works fine. The problem is that I use the FX audio enhancer, which is a virtual soundcard. And then I need to disable that virtual soundcard every time I reproduce DTS in order to pass the DTS sound to my AVR. That´s what I done using a .bat file and all works ok. That´s the reason I need to add a .bat file for all these movies.

  8. Thanks a lot for your reply, it works Ok, but I have 2 problems.

    First of all, I need to use /fullscreen parameter in the emulator, but if I edit the script to add:    Run "Emulator.exe /fullscreen" it doesn´t work. If I put the parameter in his own section of the emulator "Default Command-Line Parameters box" showns me an error because the /fullscreen parameter can´t do nothing with the script.ahk

     

    The second problem is that the autohotkey must be installed all the time, If I install, make the script, and uninstall, it doesn´t work anymore, I like launchbox because of his portability, and I don´t want this script depends of installing some other software.

  9. Uh... I see... what a shame, I think it would be a very useful option.

    I need to change a registry key in order to enable/disable a virtual soundcard, I managed to do this by creating a .bat file. (Actually I use launchbox for my games and movies collection) and a lot  of movies need to disable the virtual soundcard to use my receiver in order to transfer the DTS sound. So I think to add a .bat for all DTS movies in order to disable the virtual soundcard before the movie plays.

     

    Btw, don´t worry, I´ll wait until the bulk edit option of additional apps will be created. Thanks a lot.

  10. Hi! I don´t know if somebody can help me. I need to launch a .bat before my emulator starts (I know that I can do this with additional apps, but I need to do this for around 3000 roms, so, it´s crazy to enable an additional app for one to one of them)

    So, I decided to do with the autohotkey feature. I use the:    run, "path\myexecutable.bat" but this .bat copies some archives, and I need 2-3 seconds in order to finish the copy before the emulator is launched. The problem here is that the emulator launches immediately, so, the .bat have not finished before the emulator is launched.

     

    I tried with sleep command, but it doesn´t work, I don´t know if maybe there´s some loop that I can do or something.

     

    Any ideas?

  11. Actually, if you select a lot of roms, you can edit some fields like "gender, emulator, platform, developer, etc" but there´s no way to select the same additional app for all of them, and you must do that one by one. I think is a good idea to enable this function, since some users like me, have a lot of roms and some of them requires the same .bat before the launch, and it´s a waste of time doing this one by one like I said, specially if you have for example a 3000+ roms collection.

  12. The background music for each game still sounds when a game is opened (It´s supposed to stop when a game is opened in fullscreen) this happens with all games and emulators. This doesn´t happen 100% of the time, but it´s annoying that more or less the 10% of times you need to close and reopen the game in order to stop the music.

  13. Hi! I have one problem about the new release (Launchbox 8.6 now can have custom themes)

    Previously, in the normal Launchbox, my platform´s list are showed with minimum spaces between one and each other, and now, I have a scroll bar because they have too much spaces (Image attached)

    I don´t want to have that scroll bar in order to have all my platforms at the same time, just like normal launchbox shows. There´s some way to improve this? I tried to modify some lines of a custom theme in LBThemes\"nameofcustomtheme"\Views\SideBarView.xaml in order to reduce that spaces, but without success. Can anyone tell me what file or what line I need to change?

    Thanks in advance!

    I know that dos is covered with DosBox. And current windows games are covered also. But I have a few win 95 era games that won't run in windows 10 (even with compatibility mode). Anyone know of a tool that will run these games in Launchbox? I know a VM will do the job well, but I don't see any way to integrate that into LB. Thanks in advance.

  15. I have only one complaint about this Launchbox.Next... what about the side bar?

    Previously, in the normal Launchbox, my platform´s list are showed with minimum spaces between one and each other, and now, I have a scroll bar because they have too much spaces (Image attached)

    I don´t want to have that scroll bar in order to have all my platforms at the same time, just like normal launchbox shows. There´s some way to improve this? All new interface looks ok, but this one thing is frustrating.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi all,

    First I want to say I'm very sorry not having been able to maintain this. Life changed quite a bit back then (in a positive sense).
    Thanks for all your interest in this.

    I dug up the old code and I think the issues people ( @Klamp @rotatorkuf @firion @LuismaSP89 ) were experiencing are now fixed.
    I also added an option (requested by @StuDentBR) to disable the joystick functions.

    You can download it in the first post.

    If there's anything please let me know. My time for this kind of things is still very limited so I can't make any promises (I hate false promises) to fix it in a short while.

    Cheers.

    Now works like a charm! Thanks a lot for your awesome work ^^

    I'll have to look into it. I'll let you know, okay?

    Hi XoRRoX, first of all, thanks for your awesome app, I love to use it with my Launchbox to use per game specific settings :P

    I ran into the same problem as Klamp. In my case, I use the params "--fullscreen --fullboot --nogui"

    Btw, the problem is located between 0.03c and 0.05, I used 0.03b for years, and all works fine, but today, I founded that this program was updated, and my PCSX2 stays in the background, and don´t enter fullscreen unless I click the screen twice. If I go and use the 0.03b again, all is solved.

    I don´t know if the 0.05 worths the update, but I´ll keep with 0.03b for now. The question is: Do you plain to solve this...errr... bug?

    Thanks in advance, and again, thanks for this awesome program ;)
