Hello, Ever since updating to 11.7, BigBox will sometimes lock up after selecting a platform. BigBox loads fine and displays the platforms fine. It's just when I select a platform it goes to the game view with a blank screen and I have to use the task manager to shut down BigBox. I can then try to start it up again and usually it will work as normal. I am using a vertical (WIN 10 in portrait mode) theme that I made with the Community Theme Creator and didn't have any issues with 11.6. Thanks for any insight...

Is there a way to remove the start theme preview option from the menu on a pin protected setup? I don't see the option not to show it anywhere?

I'm looking to do the below but without all the extra bezel graphics. These are setup with a LAY file and the bezel is handmade per game. I'm looking for a way to automate just the screen and bezel for both horizontal and vertical layouts. Preferably just two default files that can pull the marquee by the rom name in the file itself. I can get vertical games working with an per game LAY file but the horizontal games aren't working right. I know the BOUNDS need to be set in the file, but not really sure how they work. I've tried the Mr. Do. creator and it doesn't do what I need either.

Good Day, Not sure if this is the right place for this, but have to start somewhere... Looked at 50 different ways to do this and there is no good answer I can find. I'm building a vertical orientated cabinet to replace one I built 20 years ago. Using the default vertical theme for big box, which works OK. Right now, just going to use MAME. Question is using LAY files with MAME to set up a default config for horizontal and vertical games. I've seen some game specific out there and tried to reconfigure them, but end up with garbage on the screen most of the time. I just want to have the screen and marquee when the game is running, no extra bezels or artwork. Is there a simple one size fits all for this with the default "vertical and horizont" LAY files? Also, do you have to have a LAY file for EACH game or can the LAY file pull the marquee out of the folder based on the rom name or artwork folder name to just have the two LAY files? Thanks for any help or sending me in the right direction, Jeff
