Thanks. I knew i saw that somewhere before

Depending on the system I need a few more seconds, and I'm making videos as well so sometimes they are 8 to 10 seconds. Is it possible to increase this time some how?

Here are two I think are safe to share as the sound effects I used in the GOG are royalty free, and the video is from GOG. The Steam one is just a straight rip of the Steam Big Box intro. Unlike the other ones I'm making you can't insert a steam game into a system so I went for just loading screens as if they were a console. They work on the platform boot videos theme. GOG.mp4 Steam.mp4

For my Start up theme, I wanted just a video of a disk or cart being put into the system of choice. So I made some videos of that, however, all the videos have been taken online (so far all from Game Sack on Youtube but as I get to systems they haven't reviewed for I may need to branch out), I editted out the sound and added my own foley stuff. Legally I think its probably fair use, but is it okay to share on the forum here? Its basically just a hand putting in a cartridge or disk, turning on the system. Adds a little bit of immersion to the experience I feel as that feeling of popping in a cart is kind of lacking. Thoughts?

I would love a theme that is just a video, so I can make one that is inserting a NES Cart, or PS1 disk, etc.

Sweet, thanks. I was just merging the guide with the manual PDF but this is easier. I didn't think that would show in pause menu but it does. Thanks again.

I know I could overwrite the manual with a PDF of a guide, but I would like both. Is it possible to easily add another field on my end that will show on the pause screen?

I have a very specific setup and it works for everything except Origin and Windows UWP games. I run bigbox through Steam using a PS4 controller. However, no matter what I do, if I launch Origin games in Steam or BigBox through Steam, it doesn't recognize the controls, even if I set them to full mouse and keyboard, it just doesn't grab the steam controller inputs. I have disabled the Origin in-game overlay as I heard that helped others in the past, but it still doesn't work. I tried launching through Steam, it still doesn't work. I tried adding Origin, and the game that I am trying to launch to steam and put a full mouse and key board bindings on it and this didn't work. If I launch the game the only inputs it accepts is a real mouse and keyboard , not a controller emulating a mouse and keyboard. I like to play on the couch which is why I like Big Box so much, so this makes playing Origin games impossible. Anyone have a work around? I am aware this is mainly a Steam/Origin issue, but I figure with the new update, some of us might be struggling to over come this. Edit: I also tried added the title through GLOSC to steam as well, and this didn't work. Its the work around I use for UWP games. Edit: Nevermind, its specifically Mass Effect, apparently it doesn't play well with controllers on PC.

It works now thanks! I'm pretty sure it was the MAME version not matching the MAME set version, but I thought they were. I reinstalled MAME again by scratched and it worked this time, so maybe it wasn't, I dunno. Thanks for helping.

I had an older version installed (not sure what) that I never really had sucess with, but I thought I'll just use Retroarch, then the new update came out so I wanted to use MAME for it, and noticed this issue, so I downloaded the newest one (0220b I think) and it still didn't work. I have since tried downloading 0197b as that is the same version as my rom pack I have, but no dice there either. I have removed Retroarch as an Arcade emulator as well in LB but that made no difference either. It is. I haven't altered the Mame folder in any way (except to store my Roms in mame/roms) and I haven't touched the INI. I also tried numerous versions of MAME as well.

Tried this too step by step, put in the same locations ETAprime did, even turned off start up screens. same issue Edit: I want to add, I don't think its the Roms or Mame. Its something with properly launching it from Launchbox, as I can sucessfully load a game from Mame itself. Even if I click launch mame in Launchbox it happens. Screen goes black for a few seconds, then back to LB

I used this tutorial and when I tried to launch in LB the screen goes black for a few seconds, and then back to launchbox. Nothing happens. I know the roms are good as I can test within Mame. I can also launch with RetroArch, but I want Mame for the high scores. Ideas?

Its working for me now. Honestly I can't remember what fixed it sorry. I think I gave up and sometime later it worked. So some incompatibility somewhere, or some setting. sorry not that helpful

Found a part of the issue maybe. When I changed the video playback engine from VLC (which worked perfect for years) to Windows Media Player, I got the sound back immediately, and lost it again when I went back to VLC. Then I started up Retroarch, and still no sound. So I restarted Big Box. It started with no sound again, and I check and Windows media is still selected. I switch to VLC and nothing, back to Windows Media and I get sound again (but only in BigBox).So I uninstalled VLC from my PC (not sure if VLC is intergrated into BigBox or is using it from my PC or not), and I still have the issue.

Increasing Volume didn't do anything for me unfortunately

So it was working earlier. It didn't touch anything in Big Box. I changed a couple settings in Retroarch (controller bindings, and logged into Achievements, and overridden the core settings) then exited out and back in to make sure they saved. Then audio didn't work. At first I thought it was just Retroarch, but Big Box was doing it to. So I restarted my PC. Same thing. I checked my audio settings on the PC, other games work, web browers works, even launchbox if I just launch that works, but bigbox and any game launched from it, no audio. Looked at the audio settings in menu and its all up there, nothing muted. I have no idea what I did. I launch it from Steam, but even if I don't it still happens. Thoughts?

Sweet. I will keep an eye out. Thanks

For example, I don't have Amiga box art for all the games I have, but I love viewing Amiga via box art because what I do have is awesome. But I don't like how the default no box art image looks compared to those with box art. Is it possible without having to manually edit each title, to change the default no box art? I made this https://imgur.com/a/KHIyu9X as an example.

Yeah, I just used it for 10 mins and its light-years better. Thanks.
