Problem with a them with Big Box

[legolas119]

Hi,

i'm using the latest BB version and the latest Neon Deluxe Arcade theme version 2.6.1 (16:9 version).  When i run BB, i can't use anymore this theme because it continues to appear this pop up:

Does anyone notice this issue? It perfectly worked some months ago...i don't know why.  The creator of the theme says that he doesn't have this issue

 

thank you!

The 2nd and 3rd line in the error message tells you what's wrong.  It can't find that file.

Are you running Big Box as admin?

Is your D drive formatted as NTFS?

Those are the 2 primary reasons that, if the file does actually exist, it can't be read from the symlink folder under /Core/,

Another possibility is that the path to the image is hard coded in the theme and you put the theme in a folder other than /LaunchBox/Themes/Neon Deluxe Arcade/.  e.g. /Neon Deluxe Arcade - Custom/

well i'm not running BB as Admin. And i put the them in D:\LaunchBox\Themes\Neon Deluxe Arcade

But the D drive is formatted in exFat...it is in this way from the beginning, i never changed this...and the Theme for sure worked... do you think that it is necessary to format it in NTFS? Is this a recommended setting for LB/BB? I didn't know that.

 

Thanks

The [paraphrased] error "Could not find a part of the path  ..\Core\Themes\....\fileName.ext",

most of the time that error means your drive isn't formatted NTFS and so the symlinks can't be created properly. 

This was in my notes, quoted from one of the developers.  From where (either here or on Discord) or when I got it, I don't recall.  But I read it somewhere, so it must be true.  

So to answer your question, most likely yes (based on the quote above).
