Just updated launchbox. Can no longer open it unfortunately. Here's the log Unable to load one or more of the requested types.

Launchbox seems to hang when I tried to update my library's metadata. I have about 45000 games, and I periodically update metadata about once every two months or so. Usually I start in the morning, and its done when I come back from work. Lately, launchbox seems to hang and the end stages. It seems to be stuck on "finishing up". Usually I give it a few hours before giving up and forcing launchbox to close. Thoughts?

It's always the obvious things. Looks like Nvidia released a driver update on the day of the problem and updating drivers seemed to fix it

any ideas?

Help. I got a new 49 inch super-ultrawide monitor (5120x1440p); however, it seems like Big Box doesn't like this. (see image) This is theme independent. I tried about half the themes without any luck. Am I stuck with this for now?

Creating a batch file in dosbox and then having launchbox point to it fixed it. Simple as that

Some games in dosbox require the prefix loadfix. when I add it to the command line parameters it doesn't seem to work? How have people been getting it to work? thanks!

Try this. http://www.mameui.info/Bench.htm You may have to look around a little bit

Basic question but do have the folder "CAPSImg" in the plugins folder or the contents of capsimg? I just placed the capsimg folder in the plugins folder and it appears to work fine.

So I tried switching the video player from VLC to media player and back again. No difference. Thoughts?

I believe I did, but knowing me maybe I didn't. Also, the video loading issue is independent of the theme. I'll report back after changing the VLC setting

I've run into a kind of weird issue regarding these the two playlists: fighter classic and beat em' up. When I'm in Big Box, their videos take a good 3 seconds to load. This issue does not happen with any of the other playlists (legend of zelda collection, castlevania collection, etc). I've tried reencoding to a lower resolution. I've tried downloading from youtube. I don't think it's the video itself as other videos are longer, shorter, larger, smaller etc. I also looked at the playlist xml file, and I can't find anything obvious. Any thoughts?

that did the trick. such an obvious thing really. thanks so much for your hard work!

Custom Backgrounds. First, this is my favorite theme by far. My question is that I've created a playlist called "Beat 'Em Ups Collection" Under this location: H:\Launchbox\Themes\Unified\Images\Theme\Background I have placed the following file: "Beat _Em Ups Collection.png" However, I'm still getting the default background. Any ideas?

Another Apple II Platform Video View File Here's another very simple Apple II platform video. I thought it went well with the City Hunter theme. Submitter sbslc2017 Submitted 03/08/2018 Category Platform Theme Videos  

Apple II Platform Video View File This is my first stab at a platform video. I always felt the Apple IIe TV commercials better evoked the nostaligia associated with these machines better than the showcase of games that are usually shown.

Ok. I think I got it now. thanks!

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, I'm still not seeing it. Am I missing something obvious? Maybe an ELI5? thanks again

Thanks for the reply. When I look at the xml file for City Hunter, there doesn't appear to be any syntax about fonts. Otherwise, I would have changed the default font in the xml file to one that I wanted. If I need to add a line, could you point me in the direction as to the proper syntax? Thanks again

Anyway to change the default font in this theme. Or is there a way to adjust the font for each platform? thanks!

Hi guys, I've been kind of interested to make game specific videos for the apple IIe in the style of hyperspin (ie floating/pulsing clip art along side video clips) I'm unfamiliar with visual studio, and I may give it a shot, but I was thinking that I could also just use powerpoint to replicate a lot of the effects. I could then just use a video capture program (ie snagit) to capture the video. Thoughts? Pros? cons?
