    Gotcha. I had Malwarebyes installed but was not using it. I did a complete un-install and I'll see how that goes. That's for the quick feedback!

    I'm not sure exactly which update this started happening with, since I haven't used LaunchBox for awhile (as opposed to BigBox) but at least starting with beta 6, and now with 8.6 official release, I'm having many spinning beachballs and crashes in LaunchBox. If I select all games in a platform (MAME for example) the screen will shift slightly and I'll get the beachball. It never will go away unless I hard-quit. Happened several times now after a restart. Thanks, R

    I'd be happy to beta test the theme in 1080p.

    Love this! Question -- how do you hide the details sidebar? Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place but I don't see it in the change log.

    I think people waiting for LaunchBox to replace Rocket Launcher's features will be disappointed. Sure it'll be nice for non-RL users to have some of these additions. But I doubt LaunchBox will ever do: pause you can customize, loading screens, key-mapping by emulator/platform/game & multiple bezel controls. I love LaunchBox and hope I'm wrong! But I also don't mind using LaunchBox + RL.

    I use this one to switch between horizontal and vertical. It attaches to the back of my cabinet. I pull the monitor out slightly, then rotate. Works great! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MIBN16O/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Nice! What vertical theme are you using for Big Box?

    I didn't combine the two versions, what I'm doing is using the older version with the text view on certain platforms and the new version on others. To do that, I re-named the old version NostalgiaOld. Then I had to go into the View files, searched for "Nostalgia" and changed them to "NostalgiaOld" when it was part of a link to a file. If there's a way to move the old text view into the new version, that would be even better I suppose.

    In Lanchbox Next, for text view, the heading says "Community Star Rating" instead of "# of Votes". (The actual Community Star Rating column is correct)

    Working great and performance is much improved from 1.2! Only thing I noticed is Collecovision videos are not fitting properly in the monitor. Also, in the old text view for a playlist, I think the name of the playlist was at the top, and now it shows the system name instead. I could see an argument either way but personally I preferred having the playlist name up top. Thanks for the fixes and love having Apple II included!

    There is an option in Bigbox to launch in Playlist view. To switch to the other views, though, you'll have to use the hotkeys.

    Okay, I'll wait for the next update then. I'll give this a shot. Thanks for the tip!

    I got it working! I re-installed the Default theme and removed some plug-ins. Not sure what did the trick but it's better now. Thanks Jason.

    Sorry I haven't had time to troubleshoot the theme yet, but I should do it soon. As for the old text view, I do use it a lot since you added the feature of having fan art background, which is nice for specific playlists. Curious -- how many files would I have to tweak if I wanted to rename the theme to keep using the old version for certain platforms?

    Now I'm getting error messages in other themes, such as this one in coverbox. All I did was insert some code into one of the views In City Hunter and install the randomizer plugin before all these theme errors started happening. I re-installed City Hunter and removed the plugin, but the errors have continued.
  16. alnyden
    I was using City Hunter, but I re-installed it, and it didn't solve the problem. I've tried other themes as well including the default -- same issue. If you didn't change the code, maybe it does have something to do with the randomizer plugin from @Grila, however, he said that it shouldn't affect the options screen. Also, I have removed the plugin, and restored any changes to the theme. I updated to the latest beta this morn but that didn't fix it either. Any ideas? Thanks, R
  17. alnyden
    Since I updated to the latest beta, I've been getting the following error message when I go to the options screen in Big Box. At first I thought it was related to installing the new random game plugin, however, I've put everything back as it was before and am still getting this error, regardless of what theme I'm using. Thanks!
  18. alnyden
    I've tried changing the theme and I'm getting the error message regardless. This also occurred after I updated to the latest beta, so I'll mention it in the threads over there. Thanks guys.
  19. alnyden
    Thanks for making this plugin! I followed the directions and am having an issue. When I go to the options screen in Big Box, I get the error as seen in the attached picture. What's weird is I put everything back as it was before, deleted the plugin, and I'm still getting this error. Any ideas? Thanks again! R
  20. alnyden
    Hey, apologies in advance if I'm missing something obvious here, but at some point in the last few betas, the startup videos stopped randomizing for me. Did anything change? Is there an option somewhere I can't find? Thanks! R
  21. alnyden
    Thanks for the update, the changes seem really cool. Unfortunately I'm having some major performance issues with the new version. Sluggish scrolling, videos taking a long time to play, and crashes. Anyone else having problems? Also, didn't get a chance to check myself due to the crashes, but is the old "boring" text version still there? Thanks!
  22. alnyden
    Looks amazing! Great work. Looking forward to using this. My only thought is it would work better for a playlist than platform with a lot of games since you can't see the list as you're scrolling.

    It's possible but extremely difficult. I never got this method to work, but some have said it does. Read the thread below, it's tricky to setup and only works with the current release, and the mod has to be updated every time pinball arcade updates. http://pinballarcadefans.com/showthread.php/10199-DOWNLOAD-Pinball-Arcade-Free-Camera-Mod The other method that I did get to (mostly) work is through a rocketlauncher module. (If you're not using rocketlauncher then stop reading now). Here are some complicated instructions, some of which apply to hyperspin that you can ignore. This only works with pinball arcade version 1.50 or earlier. http://hyperspin-fe.com/forums/topic/10656-quick-tutorial-for-setting-up-pinball-arcade/ Then on page 13 of the thread someone released an update to the module that works with versions past 1.50. But you also need the instructions from the first page to get it to work. http://hyperspin-fe.com/forums/topic/10656-quick-tutorial-for-setting-up-pinball-arcade/?page=13 Warning, your head may explode reading this thread. I'm curious if anyone has found a better way to do this.

    I would also love a vertical theme.

    More information about ""
    Got it, thanks for letting me know. Unfortunately that will mess up some other themes that use background videos. It actually looks pretty neat with a video in the middle, but the empty box isn't great of course.
