I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I'm doing something wrong. I duplicated a theme, gave it a new name, and replaced the background video within the theme's folder. However, when I select that theme in the new theme selector, it does not change the background video, it still uses the one from the original theme. Depending on the theme, you cannot just put it in a different-named folder and have it work. The theme might be looking for files in the original folder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Hey I just wanted to come back and mention that I really love the changes to the importer after several days of heavy usage - having it automatically pick the currently viewed platform and remembering the checkboxes are a godsend! One thought on that though - would it be possible to change the move to launchbox/keep in current location etc. section to checkboxes as well so that they could also be remembered? I literally never move my stuff which is in an external directory, so this would streamline it even more. Something else I'd really like to see is a "smart import" where you just drag your rom(s) into the appropriate platform and it then runs it through the import process using all of your previously selected checkboxes, no further input required (other than maybe the first screen to indicate whether they're roms, DOS, etc.). It would probably still need the final page of the importer as well just to confirm that the titles are correct. Anyway, loving the updates! Thanks!

emko Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 anyone else getting issues with bigbox going in-front of opening games or when closing a game losing control of bigbox it until you alt+tab, seems like it just started happening with latest beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charco Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Yeah I'm having issues exiting Demul with controller automation, it no longer closes the application and I have to open task manager to kill it and Big Box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nothing new for me - controller automation never worked to close Demul for me unless I added in the task kill on ESC script to the AHK section. I also have NoMousy in mine (MouseMove would work too), but adding this will make controller automation work to close it. ; This section closes Demul when pressing Escape $Esc:: { Process, Close, {{{StartupEXE}}} } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try checking the "attempt to hide console window on startup" checkbox in one of your emulator entries and see if you're still having the issue afterwards.

Zombeaver Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Just now, Charco said: That doesn't work for me unfortunately, have to kill BB from Task Manager. Is this only an issue in BB then? It quits normally in LB? Do you have the "attempt to hide console window on startup" box checked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charco Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Tried that. Now holding select and staet does absolutely nothing. Actually, no buttons on the controller work. Edited October 16, 2017 by Charco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charco Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Just tested in LB, game launches, controls work, controller automation to exit works. Seems this only happens in BB, @Jason Carr might have to take a look, seems like a bug. It worked before with no issues before the current beta.

ckp Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 @Charco , that used to happen for me as of a few LB versions back for the same Demul version you are using. The script with Process, Close, {{{StartupEXE}}} , no longer works for me and I would get the same exact issue. Replace that line with: WinClose, ahk_class window ahk_exe demul.exe That solved it for me. It works for me even in latest Betas from BB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I just tested on beta 5 and the script I listed is still working for me. I'll update to beta 6 and see if that's still the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 So I just updated from beta 5 to beta 6 and tested. It did close as expected but I got an error afterwards: Afterwards, I could still hear BB music playing but I couldn't get back into BB and had to end task on it. I tried again a few more times and didn't run into this again. Looks like some kind of (intermittent) VLC issue I guess. In any case, closing itself is still working for me on beta 6.

Jason Carr Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 Thanks for all the issue reports guys. I'll be coming back to them later this week to fix everything up. Just put out a new beta to reduce RAM usage a bit more; I've been doing a lot of running attract mode overnight to try and catch any leaks. Once we get all the issues ironed out we'll look to put out the 7.12 official release. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Carr Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 ...aaaaand another new beta is out to fix a slight performance regression with the last beta. I caused some minor performance issues while disposing of previously used objects, but that should be addressed in this beta. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexxxer Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 @Jason Carr I have had it mentioned that if a video is played in the option view of FutureState that resources will not be freed up when leaving this menu. I have verified this on my end and too it out of my theme. Do these improvements fix this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charco Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Tested the latest beta and I am still unable to exit Demul via controller automation in Big Box. Works fine in LaunchBox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
