Thank you for posting this, I'll give it a try!

Hi, I've had this issue for a long time. I quit Launchbox or Bigbox but it's still running in the task manager. Thus, I can't switch between the two versions, because I get the message "another instance of this app is open." I have to close via the task manager each time. The new info, and the reason I'm posting this again, is becasue due to a hard drive crash I recently had to revert to a much older version of Launchbox (somewhere around 8 I think). Interestingly, I did not have that issue with the older version. As soon as I updated Launchbox, the closing issue returned. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this, and if they have any suggestions for how to solve? Thanks! Rich

Update: I solved the media issue by re-selecting priorities for image and video categories. However, I still can't see text in List View in Launchbox. Thank you!

Hi, my situation is that my hard drive crashed, and I had to restore from a backup that was many years old. Adding to that, I haven't used Launchbox/Bigbox in a long time so my skills are very rusty. When I launched the backup (which included launchbox verion 8 I think) most media paths seemed to work. When I updated launchbox, many of the media paths have stopped working, specifically in Bigbox. For example, when using Bigbox, marquee artwork no longer shows up on the marquee screen. And I can't get game videos or theme videos to show up in any of the themes. They're only showing screenshots. I checked Manage Platforms - Mame - Folders and all the paths seem to be correct. Are the themes looking in Arcade by some chance? I made sure to use an updated theme, but they're still not working properly. Another issue I'm having since updating - in Launchbox, Image view works fine, but the List view gives me a black screen. Thanks for any help!

Is there an option to change this setting for a specific platform or theme?

I added a bitbucket request for this feature. https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/5757/feature-enhancement-add-theme-video-vs Please vote here if you'd like to have the option of Theme Videos vs. Gameplay videos for each theme!

Love the new theme options in 11.7! There's one thing it's missing though. Since 11.0, the option to select "Theme Video" or "Video Snap" was moved to the Options Menu in Launchbox. Therefore, it's not included in theme options in Bigbox. For me, this would be the most useful theme option to have, since Theme Videos look so much better in some themes than others. Any chance of getting this added to the Theme Options in a future update? Thanks! R

Debug 2020-06-17 09-34-48 AM.log Here's my log. I'm not sure what I'm looking for here. Some games the scores are recording properly (Asteroids) and others are not (Bezerk, Galaxian). However, all these games recorded scores in the past, so they stopped working at some point. Thanks for any help!

Hey guys, I need some help with my MAME hi-score situation. I did not realize dipswitch checking had been implemented. I went into the dipswitches for Berzerk, not to cheat but because sometimes I must to get past the rom check screen. Anyway, I started noticing the hi-scores weren't recording anymore. I read-up on the issue, and figured that was the reason. I've tried deleting the .cfg file to no avail. In addition to Bezerk, it seems no other games will update their scores anymore. If I've been placed on some kind of lockout for changing the dipswitch, is there anyway to reset this? Thanks! R

Great, thanks for the feedback!
