SentaiBrad Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 That's an image for your platform. If you go in to LaunchBox, then Tools -> Manage Platforms, you'll see all the images for that platform like you would see for games. Use the arrows to find the image you want, right click it and remove it. Or, you can also change it to something else you'd want. This will remove that image from any view that uses it. Once you reboot Big Box, if it doesn't go away, you may need to refresh your cache in the options menu. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Isn't there a way to just turn off platform banners in the BigBox settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SentaiBrad Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Really? You went to the image, right clicked and removed it, and it removed it from that image viewer? After restarting that shouldn't come back. Some stuff does, but I don't recall the images doing that. If it didn't go away in Big Box, that's why I said you should clear cache, but the cache (I don't think) has anything to do with the image viewers. You can do it the slightly harder way by going in to your LaunchBox/Images/Platforms/<Insert Platform>/Banner folder and deleting the image. You should probably delete it with LaunchBox closed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondgeezer Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 i have a feeling it might be the way i have my launch box platforms named ( eg) atari arcade games it could be that anything that has the word arcade in it will use that arcade banner , what do you think?

SentaiBrad Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 No, the folders will be named to what ever you named the platform and have images inside. Regardless of what you called it, you'd still open the Manage Platforms screen or go in to that specific folder and delete the image. Since you use Scrape As to scrape it as a different platform, it's pulling the default images for those platforms. I re-did all my Clear Logo's to be a unified set, and I had to go through editing them in the UI; removing the old ones and putting in the new ones.

DOS76 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 make a txt file name it after the platform and then change the extension to jpg or png and put it in that folder see if it tricks it into thinking the image exists and then displays nothing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Maybe @Jason Carr changed this so the images automatically download now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOS76 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I'm glad that worked as it wasn't tested and was really just a theory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Yea, but you shouldn't have to. Choice is the name of the game and no image is a choice, so I'm stumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I agree it should be an option but nothing wrong with the work around until that time comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Oh no, of course not, I give workarounds all the time, I'm more just expressing my confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Carr Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Those images are built in to LaunchBox and will regenerate if removed and not replaced. An empty image is currently the best solution. Thanks @DOS76. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
