so i went in disabled everything, created a folder, restarted my computer, went back into big box. Same startup video played (even when disabled and removed from my system) but background music didnt play...I enabled background music and went back to platform level and boom the same background music (which is no longer on my comp) started playing again I'm half tempted to do a complete uninstall and reinstall of LB at this point. I just dont know what the easiest way of doing that is without losing all my artwork and themes and everything...

latest stable build 8.2 ... whats crazy is the original music that was in there i have completely deleted from my computer along with the original startup video and for some reason they are still playing (dont judge the music... im trying to rickroll someone lol!) Named Startup.mp4

That did it!... the only other system i cant get linked up is the 3DO which i am also running a core in RA for Next stop...trying to weasle my way around and putting bezzles to some of my handheld systems...16:9 for gameboy looks like butt! lol

This is also happening with my startup video as well... I have downloaded another startup video put it in the videos section deleted out my old "startup.mp4" and it is still showing the old video...im guessing there is some type of scraping that i need to do for both of these issues?

So i had some M4A files in my "background" folder under music. I decided i wanted to switch things up and deleted those files out and put some new M4A files in and for some reason Bigbox is still playing the old M4A files. Is there anyway to force refresh the background music folder so it picks up the new music?

ok cool so i downloaded AHK and opened it up made a copy, deleted, pasted, restarted RL went to gamecube and im still not seeing RA listed. I went into global then modules just to check everything checks out there with what i pasted but i still dont see any new systems listed or anything showing under gamecube or 3do or any of my other emulators that are giving me problems with RA... im lost in the sauce

Ok so i went over there and i someone posted the following https://pastebin.com/YBPJ34R1 Considering my noobness with reguard to adjusting modules can you explain which lines of this need to be input and where exactly do i put it at? do i put it in the "Retroarch (Example).ini as in just delete everything in that file now and paste this file and call it good? sorry man i never really went down the hyperspin route...i tried and gave up so RL is fairly new to me and i never got this in depth with it before

ok so i decided to take my LB setup a step further and integrate Rocketlauncher. Heres my problem I am using Retroarch through Rocketlauncher and im stuck on a couple of systems for example...Gamecube. When i click on the default emulator path it does not list Retroarch. I know that i have to add this at the module setting and link the core but im super confused how to get this all done. can someone provide me some detailed instructions how to add a system or shoot me their module file or something this is driving me bonkers. attached are some screen shots of where im stuck at. Current Module List in Rocketlauncher: Current Systems showing under Retroarch.ahk File Structure for Retroarch in Rocketlauncher: Retroarch (example.ini) This is what shows when I try to add an emulator for Gamecube in rocketlauncher. So as you can see i need to figure out how to add the game cube to the list of available systems in rocketlauncher in order for it to appear in the list when i try and select it for gamecube. Again im completely lost at how to do this or what i need to edit so if someone could help and break it down barney style because i have about 5 systems i need to do this for. Thanks alot

Dont know what i did or what happened but...i got sound again somehow...so this issue is closed...ill chock it up to the ghosts of retroarch

here are the windows updates that got pushed to me today. Dont know if one of these have something to do with whats going on

Ok i got a hair up my butt and i deleted my previous RA setup and downloaded the newest latest one. Soon as i open it up i still have no sound. i dont even hear the clicking through the menu. I have checked my audio mixer, direct x, everything i can think of and i am completely stumped as to why i have no sound in RA only when its a completely fresh install.

Went to bed had a windows update and woke up with no sound in retroarch. I have sound on the rest of my PC and in Bigbox all other emulators have sound. Retroarch cores = no sound. I have tried all systems i use RA for and nothing. I have not adjusted any sound properties in any way within RA it is all at the default stage. Any advice before i do a complete delete and redownload?

Thanks alot man!...Wasn't looking for a hand out but i sincerely appreciate it and all that you do for the community...Have a great night boss!

For my games list view in BB im currently using vertical wheel 2 as you recommended in your setup guide

I do like the Platform level fading i think that is super sexy but when i go to full screen video view in the games menu i would like the wheel to remain showing instead of fading out but only in that specific view if that makes sense... the other platforms where i have box art showing i would still like it to fade away... I hope im explaining it well

I went into each of the XML files that say "Games": Then I searched for "Fading" and went to the following section in each one. Once I got there I deleted the <!-- FADING GAME TITLE --> for each section. But, after deleting everything under <!-- FADING GAME TITLE --> I looked for the "pointer" and "0:0.1.4" Section referenced in the article above and I can't specifically find that section required to change to make the wheel stay showing. Attached are the XML's that I have deleted out the <!-- FADING GAME TITLE --> sections from I just don't know how to find the parts inside the XML's you referenced above to make the change. I'm a total noob with regard to XML editing. TextGamesView.xaml Wheel2GamesView.xaml Wheel3GamesView.xaml Wheel4GamesView.xaml WheelGamesView.xaml

Dear @CriticalCid - Since you created your unified theme my retro heart has melted in a way like no other theme creator could make it melt but, to complete my triforce i need you to conduct a mission this mission is one of the upmost importance...Given the noob that i am currently and having never edited a theme xml file in the past can you please elaborate on how to show the games list clear logo wheel permanently? I tried to follow the link that Kondorito showed above and I'm completely lost as to how to properly edit this XML file to maintain the current showing of the clear logo in a permanent state. Will you take on this mission? The full force of my LaunchBox rely on your powers and your unwavering commitment. May the forth be with you!

well damn, that sucks... i would have NO idea how to edit that or where to look at in the xml to make that change... sucks because i really want full screen but i really want to keep my clear logos showing while the video is going just a look i really like

Hey everyone: I'm currently running the unified theme and was playing around with some of my views today just doing some tweaking. I went to full screen videos with no box art and when i do the games list wheel fades out which is obviously standard and cool BUT is there anyway to keep that games list showing while the video for the game is playing in the background. I was looking in the settings and cant find one specifically to keep that wheel showing. Thanks

I dont know specifically but using dolphinWX in the pack solved my issue completely and i have had no problem since linking and making that the emulator path

Retro!...got it all squared away and now im down in the nitty gritty... So far I have everything done but now im down to the physical game level. I have searched the theme folder and dont see anything specific there for the individual game level is there any way to change the following? All my platforms show the same BigBox logo on the games...i obviously havent checked every single game but a majority of the ones i have look like below. if this ising something that can be changed no big deal im all for showing off my "BigBox" just looking at my options. Thanks man!

Well well well... i must have scrolled over that 3423 times and it never registered ...damn! thanks man!

Ok so i know in launchbox i can hide all games that dont have coverart. Is there a way in bigbox to hide all games that dont have cover art? i have alot of games that dont have cover art that i have no desire to play and i would like to remove those to have a completely clean look...where do i need to go exactly to do this? is it even possible?

Question: When I go into BigBox and then go into "playstation" to view the games the background on that screen says "playstation" at the top but, if i click on my 3DO platform the background while scrolling through games says "BIGBOX" in the back. Where do i/how do i edit that background image to one that says the platform model in the background

Any thoughts on this? were still at a total loss... we have tried different cores and everything but somehow we still cant launch FBA directly through LB or BB like we can with everything else
