I see what you're saying. For example, you could set the global priority to theme videos, but for a particular platform, say Nintendo, you would hide the theme videos and so snap would be used. That's a decent workaround, thank you! I still think the best approach would be the ability to choose within individual theme's options. Thanks again!

Hi, I'm curious if there's a way to change the video priority of theme videos vs. snap videos in Big Box? I only see the option within Launchbox. Also, it would be so great to be able to quickly change it on the fly or have it be part of the per-theme settings. With some themes, the theme videos are much better, whereas in others, it becomes too busy or repetitive and then the snap videos are the better visual choice. It's unfortunately to have to choose one option globally, and only be able to swtich it in Launchbox. Thanks for any advice!

This worked! You're right, I had changed it globally in Launchbox and not specifically for Retrotastic . Thanks for your feedback, and also for the wonderful themes you've created.

How would I turn that off? I see under Retrotastic theme specific settings - "Reset All theme-specific settings" but not an on/off toggle for that. Also, how would I clear the cache? I've already selected "Image Cache - Reset all Images." Thanks again for your help!

Thanks for your response faeran! I turned off the option, but it didn't change anything. Attached is a screen shot. You can see that the arcade cabinet image has a black box around it. Underneath, as a 2nd image, it looks like it's using the transparent cabinet. Any thoughts? Thanks again. IMG_3896.heic

I love Retotastic! I'm not sure if it's still being updated? My question is: I recently replaced my arcade - cabinet images (and arcade - front box) with transparent images. However, when using Retrotastic, the images still have a black box around them. (other themes are pulling the correct images). I can't find any other instance of the old image still existing. I have refreshed all images. Any idea why the images are not transparent? Thanks for any help!

I love these transparent images! I downloaded them, and imported into the Arcade - Cabinets and Box - Front folders of Mame. What I'm noticing is that some themes (like BannerBox) are using the transparent images, while most other themes are still displaying a cabinet surrounded by a black box. I can't find any other images like this in any of the Mame - Images folder, so I'm not sure where they're coming from! Is there something about the themes or settings in Launchbox I'm not understanding? Thanks for any advice!

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?
