[Retrotastic]

Hi @Xirvet. Not entirely sure why they wouldn't be showing up for you.

Look in the Retrotastic plugins folder, and edit the Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_2.dll.config file in a text editor.

Make sure it says this near the top: <add key="Setting.AllowResourceOverrides" value="True" />  . If it's set to false, change it to True. the themer plugin is supposed to take care of all the logic behind displaying these images.

 

 

Just checked and it is still set to true and I only have the star rating. I attached my file if you wanna make sure

Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_2.dll.config

I really enjoy this theme but something's been bothering me and that's that despite the screenshots showing icons for ESRB, genre, play modes and star rating, I can only seem to get the star rating icon, in fact the files in the latest download ONLY have the star rating so I was wondering how to get those additionnal icons back in

Well I see that in the error message try removing it and see if it stops crashing

There is no System.Xml file used by LaunchBox, so that's why it's not there.

Looking at the error messages, it does look to be caused by the SteamLauncher plugin.

Yep can confirm, removed it and launched no issue, dunno why all of a sudden it stopped working

Are you using the SteamLauncher plugin?

Yes, that and WikiPeek and AddToGamesDB, worked fine before

You can actually delete the system.xml and then open LB and it will create a new one. Do you get an error message other than what you posted that says a line number where the error is. If you want to post the system.xml here I will look at and see if I can find the issue.

I can't actually find system.xml in my install folder and I still get that error when I boot

It appears your System.xml is corrupt. Have you checked the Backups directory to see if you have a recent backup of system.xml? If so, replace the system.xml file with one of the backups and try to restart launchbox.

I have everything but system.xml in my backups, what do I do?

[Crash on start]

Simply as the title says, I get a crash when I try to start Launchbox, I get this error text

Are you updated t the latest beta version of Launchbox ?

Steam has invalidated the old API and Jason had to get a new one which is now in the latest beta and will be in the 8.0 official build when it releases soon.

Aaaahhh, had a feeling that it was that, thanks for the confirmation, updating to the beta as we speak.

[Import Steam games wizard not working]

I bought a few Steam games today and as I always do I use the wizard to add the new games fast but once it's on the parse step, nothing happens. I doubt it's even loading, I even left it going for 2 hours while I watched a movie only to see it still saying it's parsing. I have used the wizard succesfully many times in the past, any idea as to what is the cause?

You should of got a discount code in the email you got with your premium license file in it. If you no longer have that email then you can email support@unbrokensoftware.com and explain your situation there.

Thankfully I archieved it and it was written so small, I didn't see it ^^; Thanks!

[EmuMovies Launchbox Discount?]

So I've been looking into getting EmuMovies Premium with my paycheck in 2 days and I saw on the website that Launchbox Premium users get a discount and that I should look on the Launchbox website for details but despite looking everywhere, I cannot find the info or how to even have the discount. Anyone mind helping me figure it out?

[RANES Fullscreen issues]

So I was setting up emulators to take advantage of the Retro Achievements feature and I came across a pretty annoying one with the NES one (which I believe is a modified Nestopia?) where by going fullscreen, the game was set litteraly at bottom right of the screen and parts of it be unseen. How do I fix it so that I may have a clean Fullscreen experience?

Certainly a possibility for the future @Xirvet. I'll probably add that to the next poll.

Sounds awesome!

[New Retro Achievements Features for LaunchBox 7.15]

Looks awesome! Wonder if such a feature could be adapted in the future to show Steam achievements. Definitly gonna fiddle around with it.

[Websites for Game Theme videos?]

EmuMovies premium will give you access to the FTP. That’s where you’ll find all the theme videos that @CriticalCid and myself have done. I’m working on adding more themes for more systems soon so stay tuned! Also, the themes that were used to make the videos were made by the folks over at HyperSpin and they have been nice enough to let us host them over at EmuMovies so if there are other sites hosting these let me know so I can inform @circo to get them removed! 

Fair enough! Had a feeling it was the case but since I am a bit low on money these days I could not exactly test it. Thanks for answering, it was driving me a bit nuts  

[Websites for Game Theme videos?]

Don't know if this is the right place for this (feel free to move the topic if needed) but I am slowly trying to get game theme videos for my Big Box and I feel there are quite a few places I'm missing since I see people with game theme videos that I can't find

For example, there's this Waku Waku 7 theme in the CriticalZone screenshots that despite all I know of I can't find

 

I know of Launchbox (duh!) and EmuMovies but are there any others beside? Does EmuMovies Premium have some exclusive themes? Thanks for any info!

[[Solved] Games missing in Big Box]

On 11/30/2017 at 10:54 PM, Lordmonkus said:

In BigBox go to Options > View and turn off Show Favorited Games First. This sort of defeats the purpose of having favourited games though but I guess you can get around that by generating a playlist based on the "favorrite" tag and any other tag such as platform.

Many thanks!

[[Solved] Games missing in Big Box]

I found the issue but it creates another problem. The games ARE there but Big Box puts favorites first which with how big my PC games section is gave the illusion that games were missing. Is there a way to set it so that it shows them sorted by title or do I need to unfavorite every game?

[[Solved] Games missing in Big Box]

I have no playlists set, only platforms so does not seem to be the cause. Only the Windows platform seem affected and the game count on the "main menu" is correct but I see a lot that are missing

[[Solved] Games missing in Big Box]

So for some strange reason when I browse games in Big Box, I realised a lot of games are just not there but they are there on Launchbox. For example, I have Hyperdimension Neptunia Rebirth 1 to 3 but only the first shows in my list. What could cause that?

[Looking for a specific template]

Sorry if I am not posting this in the right forum but there is a specific style of fanart boxart I see pop up a lot on PC and Gamecube games (there are 2 examples below). I wanna try to make my full game library (all consoles) be uniformed with that specific style. Does anyone have a template for it? I tried searching around to no success. Any help is appreciated!
