Great additions ❤️ love it, haven't tried it yet, but looked trough the code, seems great. It would be nice if theese settings were integrated in Bigbox's attract mode... Right now I'm using a modified version of my code in which I've changed the "close retroarch" action, with plain "send input alt-f4", so it now works for other emulators that get closed by alt-f4 too, even windows games.

Auto Play N' Quit - AHK Script by IzzIsHOr View File 🎯 ATTRACT MODE for BigBox: Auto Play N' Quit (No Plugins, No Hassle!) Sick of staring at a frozen BigBox playlist? Wanna transform your arcade setup into a living, breathing arcade cabinet that automatically cycles through games like a pro? Look no further. This lean AutoHotkey script brings ATTRACT MODE to BigBox, no complicated setups, no bloat. What does it do? 🚀 Launches a game from any BigBox playlist or platform (The one that's opened) ⏳ Waits a solid 5 minutes letting the game’s demo/attract mode run 🛑 Closes the emulator cleanly (using Alt+F4 + forced process kill if needed) 🎯 Brings BigBox back to the front, then scrolls randomly down 2 to 8 games in your list 🔄 Launches the next game and repeats forever, hands-free, stress-free 🎮 Supports all vertical scrolling themes only (vertical = essential for proper down-arrow navigation) 🛑 Exit anytime by pressing Joy8 (Start button) or the ESC key Why is this awesome? You get a ATTRACT MODE, cycling games without lifting a finger Works out of the box with your existing BigBox setup, zero complicated plugins Customizable ProcessList.txt lets you kill any stubborn emulators or apps that refuse to close Perfect for cabinets, game rooms, shows, or that “cool factor” when your rig is idle ⚠️ Note: Your BigBox theme must be vertically scrolling. If you're using a horizontal wheel or grid layout, the Down-arrow navigation won’t behave properly. 🔧 ProcessList.txt Just add any emulator or game launcher that needs force-closing to ProcessList.txt separated by pipes, like so: retroarch|mame|duckstation|pcsx2 Buy me a Coffee: IzzIsHOr Submitter izzishor Submitted 04/19/2023 Category Third-party Apps and Plugins- 14 replies

At least is there any way to change the speed and/or number of games it scrolls? I'm working on a video marquee pack that I'll post here when I'm done, and I'd love for it just to be able to scroll one game at a time.

Yup, it now works as intended, BB doesn't loose focus and I have my monitors set up like this beacuse if I keep them any other way, they're glitchy, with or without your plugin (so maybe this is the way to keep them:)) ) Thanks so much for the support, I do hope they implement your code in BB, because it's way better/faster/more customizable. GG's -
Thankies so much, will try when I get home. I know private devs don't own anything to the community and I just wanted to appreciate you sharing your work with us again, it's a great job and except my solitary issue, it runs great. Will let you know later if it fixed it or not.

I've edited the main post for a bit more context. Sorry for the long read, but wanted to make sure I bring details. And I've tried multiple versions, they all do it, back with it disabled, bigbox screen marquee works just fine, but you know, the default is lame and slow :)) LE: I've noticed it mainly happening on Sega Genesis emulation trough retroarch, but not excluded to, however it runs same video driver and settings, settings only differs in scaling

Hi, I'm using it for a marquee screen, because it's clearly a better and faster implementation that the bigbox one, so amazing props for all your work, it's great ❤️ However I had to uninstall it again, I'm having the issue where bigbox looses focus and I can only bring it back if I do something that changes the resolution of the screen, or dpi (basically anything that refreshes the main screen). Later Edit (more context): I'm running it on an W10 machine with latest beta of Launchbox/Bigbox and mainly I use Retroarch with CRTswitchres (so it changes resolution to a super resolution of 3840x200/224/240 so games can run on their native resolution, main monitor is IBM C220p PC monitor, marquee screen has 1680/342 19'' and it has a DP and VGA. I've tried using some ahk scripts that try to refresh either my resolution, or try to refocus bigbox on quitting retroarch, however they didn't work, Can't call bigbox window at all, not even trough alt-tab or windows grab.

As you've got us used to, one of the best themes out there... I mean, I'm running it on a CRT on 240p and it's readable and enjoyable. AllNightLong was my fav. before and I had to mod it to make it readable, this... is perfect though -
I had no ideea who I'm downloading from, I just came on the website and was like oh hey new themes... funny thing is I noticed, only theme's I've ever liked, or felt professional were yours, Pulse, AllNightLong, Lucidity>Slipstream. Really love your work mate. -
Thanks for the answer, I'll try, can't guarantee it's gonna work, but I'll do my best :)))))) Cheers mate, awesome theme. -
Is there any way to make the theme play videos automatically, instead of Clear Logo? Or at least in the background of the details page, because I've a really big collection and people that don't know the games just select it based on videos, so going to picture and then playing a video is a bit of struggle. Theme is TOP NOTCH! Just want to know if I can edit something, or have a checkmark to replace details background with the games video
