That makes sense, sounds like a handy trick to know, much appreciated.

When I select a platform, then highlight the games in that platform, it still does the entire setup for me. Am I missing something, somewhere. I would love to be able to do 1 platform at a time.

I have a large collection, started it @6am this morning, current progress is about 1/3. I have learned from the past to ALWAYS make a copy of my media before running it. I sure hope that it doesn't give me the same error even if I select "Delete" this time. It's bad enough that LB is stuck on the screen for 14 hours (since you can't minimize it while cleaning). Sure hate it to be for nothing AGAIN!

It's been a while since I have used the Cleanup. When I run it, if I choose "Move" files, it lets me choose a folder, but the says unable to move, the files may be in use" Is this feature working correctly? It wasn't there last time I used the Cleanup.

Left a review with graphics for Switch & Future Pinball, How can I get the theme to show the year on Furture Pinball. And would it be hard to add player mode somewhere? -
This is a very nice theme and looks great on 4k TV's. Nice and snappy with large collections. Thank you thimolor. Here are some graphics for Nintendo Switch and Future Pinball if you wish to add them or other folks that may wish to use them. Future Pinball & Switch.7z

You might try this, if you haven't already; go into ...\Launchbox\Themes\THEME YOUR USING\Images\Playlists\Clear Logo, , and drop them in there. (create the folders if needed). I sometimes have to do this with some themes In BB, go into option>Image Cache and force ALL Images. I always need to refresh the cache after most every change... -
Here is the template .png file so you can make custom ones such as Atari Classics. I just load it into PS and drop a transparent image on it and save it.
-
The two in the sceenshots are not part of the collection. The "All Games" in the screenshot is the LB default, not sure where the Atari classic one is from, but not one of mine. Thx for the screenshots, they were much help. If you look through mine, you will find one for ALL Games.
-
Thx. Not sure exactly what you are saying, any chance you can take a screen shot and post it for me, so I can better understand? Then I can try it on my end and see if I have the same issue. The images can be re-sized real easy using something like FS-Image Editor (it's free), if that is what is needed. But if it is something in Retro Console theme v2 resizing them, not much I would be able to do.

I Have a question about how Cleanup Media works. If I install a game, then download the media for the game, including a video; then decide to delete the game from the pc, but yet leave it in LB, just mark it as "Broken" and uncheck it as "Installed", when I run the cleanup, it it going to delete the media files? (posters, clearlogos, videos, etc.)
-
Yeah, I watched a bunch of them as well. Waiting back on a few answers from folks like DS4W and others. Just curious if anyone has actually tried one yet.
-
Has anyone tried using a ps5 dualsense controller with LB/BB yet? If so, what kinda results are you getting?
-
Awesome, Thanks
-
I no nothing about AHK, can someone tell me what I need to run a batch file? I am wanting to run a batch file using a AHK script within LB/BB before an emulator starts.
-
How would you run a bat file from inside of BB? Wouldn't this just be a normal Windows bat file? I would think there would be a simple way using a AHK script under the emulator settings "Running AutoHotKey Script" and "Exit AutoHotKey Script" Can you run bat files in the emulator settings "Running AutoHotKey Script" and "Exit AutoHotKey Script"?

I have a larger PC setup in a bedroom, above it hangs a 55" 4k big screen TV also connect to the PC. I use a Hubitat hub for my home automation with Alexa/Google Home and my own personal voice setup so I can use voice commands without internet. So using Alexa as an example, here is what I do to play games: I give Alexa a command to tell my computer to play games, this triggers an Alexa routine that will change the HDMI source on the TV, then it runs a program on the PC that runs a batch file I created that will launch 3 applications, 1) Run DS4W; 2) App to change the video and audio sources the PC will use; 3) then runs BB. Then I have another bat file to put things back. The order you have would work so long as it doesn't close and open LB/BB each time. I have a large library and it takes a minute or 2 to load each time. That is why I am looking for a way to do it within LB/BB The paths I am using are: RPCS3 = D:\Gaming\Emulators\RPCS3\rpcs3.exe DS4W = D:\Program Files (Portable)\DS4Windows\DS4Windows.exe I attached the bat file I run on the PC to start things on the PC side Play Games.bat

Thx for the reply. I need to run DS4W when using emulators such as Cemu, Yuzu and now Dolphin in order for the gyro functions to work with them. With RPSC3, I don't need it. I have been running a batch file in my homeautomation setup to start DS4W when it switches everything to TV, but I don't know how to kill it from within BB. Say I am playing something that is using DS4W in Yuzu in BB, then I quit that game and want to go to a PS3 game without using DS4W. I don't know how to kill it before launching a game that uses the RPSC3 emulator....
-
I am looking for a way to run DS4Windows with a particular emulator or game as well as a way to kill it on exit if it is running. The main issue I am trying to overcome is some PS3 games use the gyro features with a DS4 controller using RPSC3, but if DS4Windows is running, the gyro features don't work if I set up the controllers with it running, it thinks I am using 360 controllers. I started scrolling through the AHK scripts, but there are so many to go through (it would be nice if they could be put in sub-categories maybe???). Any suggestions on how I might do this??
-
I updated my post about the same time you replied....lol (see above what developer had just told me about the switches). You provided some great info to know as well, ty I wasn't sure if this may have been a beta issue or not, since it had previously worked, if possible, maybe the post can be moved out of beta?
-
Thx Retro, I finally got it working again, sorta. I can't use any of the "switches" in the custom commands though. I had to delete the emulator, then re-add it to get it to work with LB. I am trying to use a couple switches from the Xenia Github, namely trying to turn vsync off and toggle fullscreen on. I was using this: "-vsync=false -fullscreen" , without quotes, but that isn't working anymore. I have tried various ways just trying to get the fullscreen to work, any ideas? UPDATE: I got it working, heard back from developer, it now requires x2 "-" rather than 1. IE: --fullscreen or --vsync=false, etc..
-
Not sure when this happened, I have been using Xenia (canary) for a Xbox 360 emulator. It isn't launching any more from within LB or BB. I have checked the paths to the emulator and roms and they look good. I have tried with and without a custom command line "-vsync=false -fullscreen". It will start the startup screen, then just returns to LB. I have tried disabling startup & pause screen, that didn't help either. BTW, all is fine running straight from the emulator. Can someone else let me know if it's working for them?
-
If I am reading your post correctly, you are setting up your "custom command" per table. I only set it in the emulator, then all my tables work (got around 1300+) and no need to worry about the table name. (/open %romfile% /play /exit). I AM STILL using official v11.3, bit afraid to update to new beta at this time. I can get "exit to LB/BB" to work, but can't get a pause or exit screen to work yet. I use PS4 controllers as you do (with DS4Windows), I haven't spent much time on it recently, but am hoping it is just getting the controller mapped so it isn't using the same buttons mapped in BAM or FP. I have been re-doing my FP library creating custom box art and clear logos. I hope to upload a setup guide with all the tables and media after I get the media work done. Here is a screenshot of what I have for my custom command in the emulator, I use nothing on the individual tables. Maybe this will help ya. I tested the 4 table you mention, and they are working for me,

Thank you Retro808, I actually looked at that, but I didn't realize the media paths were actually down below the platforms. Just took a quick glance at it and when it went to the next platform I moved on looking into different xml files.
-
Been looking for a XML file I can edit platform paths for videos, boxart, discs, manuals, music, etc.. Can anyone let me know the name & location of it? Or is there not one?
