as always retro, thank you.

apologies if these exist... i searched but came up blank. i'm running the default menu in BB and looking for company clear logos (i'll have company categories): Atari Microsoft NEC Ninetendo Sega Sony any help is appreciated

yup, just responded to that one...

hey joe! yup, i did, proof! this is an odd one...

thanks retro, finally got around to testing.. killed all startups, same thing, both LB and BB wont exit A7800. It's A7800 and Xenia, neither will exit with back+start. everything else set up will (including MAME, which A7800 is an old fork of)

you know, sometimes it just takes venting the issue and someone responding to finally figure where the issue was. it was my associated platform, i had "a7800" one too many times on the command line. thanks and apologies for the waste of time if i may ask... cant get A7800 to exit with back+start but it is set correctly in LB... i even tried resetting the button presses...

i had this working, had a bit of an issue and have been rebuilding some things. i'm using A7800 specifically for lightgun games. from a command line, this works: a7800 a7800 -joy1 lightgun -cart "D:\ROMS\Console\Atari 7800\Alien Brigade (USA).7z" within LB, this does not and I can't figure out why. a7800 -joy1 lightgun -cart i've tried all the different combos of the tick boxes. i'm stumped!

and with those retro... this box is done! thanks again for the assist and for teaching me to fish

thanks retro, whenever i can help others, i do i'm going thru all my platforms, if it's not too much trouble, might i ask for a few more? i would really like to send you something for your time... here are the "blanks" I still have... "Texas Instruments Ti 99/4A" "Obscure Consoles" - category i have to put some of those one off consoles into "CHD Required" - category for arcades that, yes, require CHD's Anyways, no rush if you can help, and if you can't, i thank you for what you have sent me, your skills are fantastic

tell me how to get you funds, happily buy you some pints! wow that was so quick and they are perfect.

omg thank you so much!!! your google-fu is strong!

retrogirl to my rescue! thank you so much!!

weird, a few quits and restarts, i'm back to 7 second start ups. thanks retro for being a sounding board.

hi all, hoping someone can point me in the right direction? i swear i've lost IQ points on this build... using the default big box, and i have some custom platform names without images, text only. might anyone with design skills be able to help a brother? happy to buy you a few pints i'm looking for: Light Gun (as a category and a platform) Nintendo Wii Light Gun Nintendo Wii U eShop Sony PSP minis WoW Action Max Any help is appreciated!

ok, weirdness, it started working again... it takes a 30-40 seconds to boot up (mini pc) but at least it's working thanks for the feedback retro!

thanks for the reply! no custom theme, i cant even get into BB to select a theme. nor do I have this folder: views/launchbox_theme_folder/fonts/ i created those folders, dropped the font in there, still nothing... will LB update itself if i do a reinstall or, will it overwrite everything that i've done so far

any thoughts folks? this is just about the last thing i need to get up and running before calling this project done

haven’t even used big box yet on this build. and yup, that is the setting i have in LB. i’ve tried holding, delayed button presses, nada.

i see the BB flash, the voice over, then hangs on black screen. any thoughts? 2025-08-12 06:27:23 PM FIRST CHANCE EXCEPTION: Cannot locate resource 'views/launchbox_theme_folder/fonts/redhatdisplay-black.ttf'. at MS.Internal.AppModel.ResourcePart.GetStreamCore(FileMode mode, FileAccess access) 2025-08-12 06:27:23 PM Music.Pause Start 2025-08-12 06:27:23 PM Navigation Manager loading new view 2025-08-12 06:27:23 PM Navigation manager changing views.

i've tried everything I could find. anyone have a script i could plug in that will exit xenia with back + start on a controller? thanks

using NEStopia core, mouse is WAY to fast to shoot any ducks anyone know how to slow it down?

trying to get this one working with a commandline so that the lightgun games start up with P1 as a lightgun (mouse). any thoughts all? thanks so much!

i'm just an idiot i was NOT saving game remap files. i am now and all is golden! but these instructions are fantastic. i'm saving a sni it of your directions into my RA folder, no more doing this user error. thank you again so very much!

thing is, i KNEW that. i've set up RA many times. each time, i'm learning to ride a bike again anyways, thank you for your time and just listening

oh god i wish! controlled folders, great guess! i moved my RA to the D drive, the log started saving! i will walk you thru what it is ai am doing: set emulator to RA, core is either genesis_plus_gx_libretro OR gearsystem_libretrro, as far as i can tell, the only two that will allow a mouse as a light gun load up the rom "wanted" quick menu > controls > port 1 controls (have also tried port 2) > device type: light phaser (or whatever it is called in the other core) can now return to game and the mouse works, as expected go back into quick menu > overrides > save game override (active override file now says "wanted") exit restart wanted mouse no longer works. go back into quikc menu, control 1 is now set to a control pad pull hair our, curse at screen rinse and repeat I am editing my own post and leaving the above in case anyone else has issues. GIANT user error, i was saving the game config, NOT the controller REMAP. seems to be working now... i swear im smarter than this thanks for listening and offering advice!
