When I disconnect my controller and reconnect it, BigBox does't recognize the controller any more. Even if I restart BigBox. I need to restart my computer to get it work again. Despite that, everything is working fine so far. I am using an standard PS4 controller. I'm not certain, but I think this might be an issue with DS4Windows, as I was seeing this problem myself even before we made any changes to the controller code. I had the exact same issue.

Retrofrogg Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I'm still having the issue of some screenshots not showing in the game details pane, despite them being correctly labelled as such when going into game edit. The attached screenshot is an example of one that won't show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's puzzling. It doesn't make any sense why restarting LaunchBox and DS4Windows wouldn't fix the issue. I still believe it's a glitch with DS4Windows, but I can't prove that, and I also have no idea where to look to get that resolved. Regardless, PS4 controllers will work in LaunchBox even without DS4Windows, just by selecting the "Wireless Controller" option that shows up (at least when plugged in, I haven't tested that one over BlueTooth). 23 hours ago, Retrofrogg said: I'm still having the issue of some screenshots not showing in the game details pane, despite them being correctly labelled as such when going into game edit.

Can you test to see if it has anything to do with the Region of the image? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 Hmm, that image file extension is .png.gif, which definitely raises red flags. Is it just gif images that aren't displayed? Gif is a pretty terrible choice for a screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RULLUR Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) I've been meaning to mention sometimes I've came across images for Box Fronts that end up looking like a tall skinny white line or you get a Background that ends up stretched out all weird like Cliffhanger for SNES does which is from the Database and that image is even the proper size of 1920 x 1080 if I remember right..so I don't know why it comes up with just Stallone's legs. I also have some issues where Backgrounds for NBA Jam via the Database for example comes up just black too. Not sure why these are happening, but it has been that way for the longest though. I also wonder why which type of media may cause a massive slow down in getting a Platform to load up too. Still haven't figured why my SNES stuff takes forever as far as media being the possible as @Jason Carrchecked my Data once before and said all seemed fine..but media might be the issue. Seems I came across this again in my SEGA STV stuff now when that Platform has like 4 games in it versus the thousands I have in SNES Edited September 25, 2019 by RULLUR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely stuff like this is caused by either corrupted image downloads or just bad images to begin with. There are images out there that don't meet proper image standards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Carr Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 Beta 5 is out now with the following: Improvement: MAME is now better supported in the Export to Android wizard; the wizard will now export the entire MAME set in order to account for otherwise missing files. CHD files will still need to be manually copied over, however. Fixed: Deleting images in LaunchBox either from the game details or the edit dialog was sometimes showing errors because of image files being in use Fixed: The HorizontalScrollableTextBlock control used in some Big Box themes was not starting from the beginning correctly, at least in some situations I also just put out version 0.25 of the Android app. Details for that are here: With this beta, combined with the new Android version, MAME should be fully supported on Android. Also, I've removed support for the right stick and triggers for DirectInput devices, at least for now, as I need to figure out if that will fix the DirectInput devices that are causing issues. @RULLUR and @TheNewClassics, can you test your problematic controllers to see if beta 5 resolves the issues? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) BigBox: Marquee option not working on 5 monitor setup only will show if I select monitor 1 and also controller option only shows 2 controllers and I have 4 connected and even if I select the xbox one contoller does nothing. For the marquee all the monitors are listed but when I select them nothing gets displayed on them except for monitor 1.

RULLUR Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Still seems no change on anything. My Controllers are made for PS3 & PC use..so I wonder if going on that you can figure something out. When it comes to PC usage it reads everything the same as 360 controller in new PC games and on Joy-To-Key. I have quite a few different types of controllers here..but the 2 Afterglow ones I mentioned are the main ones @Haydee and I use in my setup. I guess I could try testing others..but not all have a Guide/Home button and I guess trying to get the Afterglow PS3/PC ones to function is the main focus for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RULLUR Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Okay..so as an Update I found something rather interesting as far as Mapping is going..especially when it comes to Mapping the Home/Guide button. So as it turns out I can't do any Remapping in LaunchBox..but what I can do is Remapping within BigBox though. So now I FINALLY am able to set the Pause Screen to the Home/Guide as Button 11! Makes me now wonder if in previous Betas was this possible or not..and also has me to wonder if in Joy-To-Key does Button 11 also register as the Home/Guide button too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RULLUR Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 This doesn't seem to wanna show up as a Box Front for Windows in BigBox for some odd reason. All I get is a blank space from this exact image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewClassics Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 That disabling of the triggers and right stick did work Jason; I can bind my Xinput controllers even when I have DInput controllers plugged into the blissbox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's using the exact same code to map between LaunchBox and Big Box, so I can't imagine why it would be any different between the two. 54 minutes ago, TheNewClassics said: That disabling of the triggers and right stick did work Jason; I can bind my Xinput controllers even when I have DInput controllers plugged into the blissbox Good to hear. I'll probably just leave it this way, at least for now. XInput is recommended anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have about 4K+ games on Steam and I've been slowly adding media images in batches. I've been also editing some past entries as the new Steam library update makes it so much better for me to find better vertical covers. It has been absolutely hell with that issue. I'm so glad that's gone now. I'll report back if I still have that problem. Thanks a lot! ❤️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeSystem Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Ouch, "image being used" bug is not fixed yet: I basically clicked on the image once from the preview to see how it looks like (it opens up a new window to view), removed it and clicked OK. Not sure if it was that window or the background (LaunchBox was also using it at the background of the UI). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monitor 1: 1080x1920 Monitor 2: 1280x1024 Monitor 3: 3840x2160 (Default/Main) Monitor 4: 2560x1080 (Marquee) Monitor 5: 1920x1080 (Touch Screen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
