Marky161 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Appreciate the reply Retro808. I'll look into the build needed to hide Windows 11 in the way I'd created my existing one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is Jason's response from a thread with the related error Win 7, 8, and 8.1 users are getting. Interesting they're not supporting Windows 8.1 when the site clearly states Windows 8.1 is still supported. Supported Windows Platforms LaunchBox is currently available for Windows 7 and higher. Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows 11 are fully supported. Windows 10 or Windows 11 are recommended for the best and most performant experience.

However, you have assigned on screen preset buttons assuming we are all using an xbox controller with "A and B" on the bottom right. This is not applicable to a custom arcade cabinet user such as myself. You need to make these buttons customizable. Thanks Nick At the moment we made sure to make this completely themeable, but that does mean in order to get your own custom buttons, you would need to make a copy of the default theme and then swap out the images that are under LaunchBox\themes\[theme name]\images\Controller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Jason stated in the other thread, this was an unintended side-effect of third party libraries we were forced to update. We will update the website accordingly to match our most recent version.

I can understand changing images. But is there a way to assign buttons for "select and back"? My apologies if this is something simple that I missed. I'm not at my computer now to look.

You do this from the controller mappings section. The input system will then convert whatever button you use there to a filename and then check that folder for the necessary file. If you don't know what your buttons are being registered with in Windows, open a start menu and type out "controllers". Open up the game controllers window, select your controller and look at its properties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open up the game controllers window, select your controller and look at its properties. I already have all buttons mapped with keyboard mapping (with ipacs) on my arcade cabinet. I don't use controllers or controller mapping. My confusion was with what's supposed to happen when you press "back" from the game discovery center. My exit button (mapped to escape) takes me to the big box menu and then I have to select which view I want. Is "back" supposed to bring you to the menu, or is it supposed to return you to your default view? In my case, my default view is of the platforms. If "back" is supposed to bring you to the menu, would you please add a customization option which will allow "back" to return to the default view? That would be helpful. Once again, thank you for adding the discovery center. It's really cool. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Right now the intention is that back from Game Discovery always returns you to System Menu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadu Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 The Launchbox option "Hide in BigBox" does not seem to have any effect on the "Game Discovery" view. Is this as expected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazStelfox79 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Congratulations to Launchbox team for the new Game Discovery Center. This is the greatest feature for Big Box to date & an awesome early Xmas treat. I love this new feature browsing things to play on my TV in Living Room & feels like I’m gaming on a console which is what I think most people want today. All it needs is a Gamer Pic with a profile name of who’s playing, A Game Controller Battery status bar & a Retro Achievements score status then it would literally be like I’m browsing through my Xbox & PlayStation. Keep up the good work Guys I look forward to all future updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faeran Posted December 21, 2023 Author Share Posted December 21, 2023 LaunchBox 13.10 has been released. It is a minor release that addresses some issues that were reported with 13.9. Full Changelog: Fixed: The Game Discovery Center was not notifying plugins that the selected item had changed Fixed: The Platforms list in the Game Discovery Center wasn't adhering to settings that would hide platforms or show playlists appropriately Fixed: Sometimes when leaving the Game Discovery Center music and/or video audio would keep playing in the background Fixed: The Test button on the RetroAchievements options menu would always say the credentials were valid, even when they weren't Fixed: A rare error that occurs when trying to load an image in the LaunchBox grid view for a box that is no longer in view Fixed: The selected items on some lists in the Game Discovery Center could be slightly cropped if the user's display was 150% scaling or higher Fixed: Game music wasn't playing correctly within the Game Discovery Center 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolarisSpell Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Thanks for the new update I have a minor question. RetroAchievements is back, but a line at the top of launchbox shows RetroAchievements points as 0. Do I have to configure something to show my real score? If I go to the RetroAchievements page it does show my score and not just 0, so I don't know if I have to manually tell Launchbox to check the softcore score Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are seeing 0 points it's possible all of your points you earned are softcore points. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolarisSpell Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Oh, what a pity Yeah, all my points are softcore achievements. I find them much more fun than hardcore ones. I thought I had to configure something to show one or the other Thanks for the answer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
