So 2 issues are wrecking my LB/BB install right now. I started noticing both around 12.3 but honestly it could have been earlier, I hadn't updated in a while. Both issues persist and have gotten worse now into 12.5. 1. The clearlogo/wheel images are fubar/super-sized. I noticed it first in the theme I was using (RetroFresh) and only with horizontal wheel views. Now, as of 12.5 it is happening in all themes I've tried (except Default) and in both horizontal wheel & vertical wheel views. I've tried refreshing the image cache, force loading the cache & rebooting but the issue persists. It's like BB isn't adhering to the space allotted to it for the wheel image or something like that. I've tried numerous themes and it is happening in all of them that I've tried except Default. 2. Setting BB to launch directly into All Games is completely hosed. BB launches to a blank wheel that only shows 1 (the very last) wheel image (but it has the wrong metadata for the wheel image). Moving left or right makes the move sound but nothing changes. I actually submitted this one on bitbucket a little while back but it persists. Also, both issues are happening on both my arcade cab & my gaming PC. One is AMD (CPU) + Nvidia (GPU) and the other is AMD CPU/GPU. Both are running Windows 10, one is home the other is pro. Same issues on both systems, both are updated to 12.5. Piper

Oh man those are awesome. Thx so much! Piper

I have no talent at it so requesting 3D Boxes for the following PC/Windows/Steam/XBGP games... Dirt 5 Forza Horizon 5 F1 2019 Also there is one in the dB for Wreckfest but it's weird looking so this one too. Thanks in advance. Piper

Anybody seen/done the 3D box for FH5? PC or Steam version preferred. Thx...Piper

Well I got it working so I'll document here for anyone that runs across the same issue. From the Event Viewer log it seemed that something was wrong with my VC stuff so I used add/remove programs to remove all the VC entries, rebooted and reinstalled LB 12.1 over the top. LB re-installed all the VC stuff needed and everything is working great. All my work was preserved as well. Piper

Just FYI, I looked in the Even Viewer and found this. It's greek to me but sounds like the issue...

Hi, I reached out on discord but was directed to the forums. I have a new PC, installed LB 12.1 (premium). It ran fine for a few days but now when I try to launch it just quits at the "initializing" stage. It's been running fine for a few days since I installed but this just started happening. I really haven't done anything out of the ordinary since installing just added a few emus, games, etc. I went into my startup.xml and turned debug log on and try to launch. Everything looks fine in the log until this point... 2021-10-19 05:13:45 PM FIRST CHANCE EXCEPTION: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

I tried to launch BB and it does nothing. I also tried to launch LB & BB in the Core folder and get the same results. I've tried to re-install 12.1 over the top of my install and get the same behavior. I also installed LB 12.1 fresh to a different location and same behavior. So i'm really stuck at this point. What should I do? Thanks...Piper System Specs: Win10 Pro/64, AMD 5600G CPU/GPU, LB 12.1 (premium with license key in folder)

Ok, found it...it actually wasn't the theme doing it, it was the startup theme (Big Fade). Thanks for responding. Piper

hmm ok, guess i just never ran into with other themes. ok well thanks.

@faeran thanks that did indeed fix it. I guess I'm confused though, what does image group selected in LB have consequences in BB? For reference, I've always kept my image group on clear logos in LB for fast navigation but in BB, the image displayed was whatever the theme/view called for. Is this something new, a bug, a choice by the theme creator? Thx...Piper

Tested on Samsung Galaxy 8+, everything working great. One thing I did notice is for Redream emu it launches to main emulator, does not launch the game selected. Still have to test on Fire HD10 & Shield TV.

Having an issue with a theme...Critical Zone. In most of my platforms my view shows the 3D Box but in 3 of the platforms it shows the clear logo instead of the 3D Box which I don't want. I do not have separate views by platform checked and have the 3D Box art in the correct folder for those platforms. Any ideas? Thx...Piper

Hi, using this theme V2-Default. Couple questions... 1. On the "main" screen it seems the platform/playlist descriptions hang off the side of the screen/text box. I have windows (10) and 100% dpi. I am on a 4k monitor, don't know if that might cause it. I can grab a screenshot if needed. 2. On the game launch screen there is a video box that shows a boot vid for whatever platform the game is in. Is that "baked" into the theme or is there a way to override that? I don't care for it bc the boot vid is coming next as the emu boots anyway. I see that there is a video/platforms folder in the theme folder but that doesn't seem to override this. Thx...Piper

Ah ok gotcha. No worries it's a great theme as is.

Really love this theme, the green goes perfect with the glow on my cab. Quick question, do you know is it possible to make tweaks via the Community Theme Creator with this theme? I did that on another one just to add a few things. Thanks for this...Piper

Hows the beta work? Emailed already...supposed to get an invite?

Pretty excited to see this...I was sure it was dead 4ever lol. I have tons android devices...will email for beta.

I reserved one. A device that can run the entire steam library & 95% of the emulators & can dock to the big TV/wireless controllers...yeah that's the one. Wondering about the emu/retro stuff frontend though. Don't really wanna rip their OS out & install windows. Would be nice with a native LB on it...

Ok understood. I nvr knew that. Thanks.

Ah! Yes that did it. I've never understood the diff in the core folder stuff and the other ones but it seems to have done the trick. Thanks you so much!

Wondering if anyone has had any success with setting up Bigbox with the Logitech G-Hub app to control the FE with the wheel? I have setup a Bigbox profile in GHub, pointing at the bigbox.exe and assigned my BB navigation keys to buttons on the wheel but when I launch BB these keys aren't working. I can set the same keys up in the Desktop profile in GHub and it works fine when BB is running but this causes issues when mapping the individual game profiles in BB. When I launch BB, GHub flips over the the Desktop profile. It's like GHub doesn't recognize bigbox.exe as a valid application. I tried attaching the profile for launchbox.exe also but no luck. I mean, there are workarounds but it seems like this should work. Any help is appreciated...thanks...Piper

I have 2 Sindens & have pretty much all the old & new LG games working. I have an AMD 3400G CPU & nVidia 1650 Super. It runs all of them fine.

Got it figured. Had inadvertently dropped it in my PS2 games folder. Thx

Would someone mind posting their (working) emulator settings for Standalone Duckstation in LB/BB? I have the emulator setup pointing to the no-gui exe but when launching the game through LB/BB it just goes to a black screen and sits there. I can launch the exact same exe, same rom, etc directly in DS and the game loads up/plays just fine. Win10/64b LB 11.7 DS 0.1-3862-g8f821c77 (dev) Thanks...Piper PS: I have the "close" AHK in running AHK and it closes fine
