Zeaede Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Im totally lost trying with Big Box I figured out how to install themes, the one when you are choosing a system to play But when you are entering the game wheel i don't get it how it is suppose to look Seen some turtorials but looks like there's something missing, i don't find what i can't If i want to setup NES and have picked a theme, how do i go from there? I've seen a couple of turtorials, which one is up to date covering it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The theme is supposed to look like the pics you saw look like. So not sure what you mean by this. 13 minutes ago, Zeaede said: If i want to setup NES and have picked a theme, how do i go from there? Have you set up for NES emulator in LaunchBox, added your games, and downloaded your media? Once you do all that BigBox is pretty much good to go. Just select a theme if you do not want to use the default one. You have to set-up all your emulation things in LaunchBox first for BigBox to be able to launch any games. 17 minutes ago, Zeaede said: I've seen a couple of turtorials, which one is up to date covering it up? Not sure which tutorials you watched as there are many. Usually the ones from LaunchBox (Unbroken Software Youtube) are best to use. Although I do not think there has been a recent one for setting up NES, but the process how not changed much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeaede Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) Im trying with the coin ops theme Everything is working with settings emulators in Launchbox Obviosly it's something in the "views" settings im messing up with in BIG BOX If i try setup NES, i guess i have to download set of videos from EMU Movies? Is there anything else needed to complete NES set besides the videos and the theme? Edited November 9, 2020 by Zeaede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the theme most of the custom platform views are when using Wheel Games View 3. So in BigBox go to either keyboard mapping or controller mapping setting and map either a key or a button to the option for "Change View" in BigBox keyboard or controller mapping settings then when in the theme you can hit that button/key and change view on the fly to the one you want.

Zeaede Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) Seen several videos of BIG BOX But can't find anywhere figure out why the game wheel is only black/white? Game wheel looks kinda like this I must have missed something in settings? Edited November 24, 2020 by Zeaede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 That view is a Text Lost view. It is supposed to look like that. If you want logos you need to change to one of the Wheel views. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your pic with the text and black background that is the TextListView. Coinops does not have a dedicated TextListView so it defaults to the BigBox Default theme for that view. In order to get to the view that has clear logos on the wheel you need to change the view. In an earlier post I told you how to do that. Here it is below again in case you missed it. I get that you say your lost, but you have to at least do what you are being advised.

Here is Coinops Redux in TextListView. You background is black as you likely do not have a background image for the Playlist category you have highlighted.and then using my mapped button to change the view to the wheel specific view. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its never just one an done. I recommend you spend time looking at all the settings in BigBox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 If you were already on the text list view from another theme, then any new theme you switch to will also be on that view type. We also have new per theme settings as well as global so id also look at those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why a forum is helpful. So I would not dwell any more on being lost and just ask the questions on things you want to know or cannot figure out. When you add a theme if the look is not what you see in the video or the download thread change the view and see if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeaede Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 I got the look on main weel, but not the other 2 game wheels, that's the problem So apparently some thing i missed in settings somewhere i can't find any turtorial to explain or not show how Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
