Cool. I’ll give it a go. Thanks!

Seeing if anyone can help. Inside bigbox after the computer wakes up from sleep the front end lights will light up for a second or two then go dark and the pacled64 default script starts up. The only way to end this and bring back front end lights is to either restart big box or enter a game and comeback to get Front end lights back on.

It’s all good. I went ahead and just grabbed the dragons lair trilogy from GOG and it works great. Very consistent. All of my steam games launch fine except those and only on those conditions. Really weird. Only problem game now is pac man dx and I rarely play that anyway. Maybe one day it will resolve itself with an update. This definitely did the trick. Thanks again!

The specific games were mentioned in the first post. But yes I’ve tried quite a bit of the suggestions disabled startup etc.

Ok was able to further dig into this problem. Alt tabbing is completely locked for these particular steam games after mame has been launched and exited. There is no way to take focus or control of the game. After exiting big box though the ability to alt tab is regained. This is clearly a LB/BB issue. The only way to play these games without issue is to launch big box without running mame prior. Also noting that when I play them without prior launching mame, alt tab is working fine within BIgbox with these particular games. I’ve tried everything and still no luck. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

This is reproducible and is only happening with a few steam games out of about 20 that I’m playing on my arcade. It only happens after I launch a mame game. The mame game launches fine but afterwards if a certain steam game is launched the game starts big box and shows the now loading screen then kicks back to big box while running the game out of focus. I can hear it in the back ground but everything is locked. The only way to run these games is to restart big box and not run mame. Games that currently have these issues are dragons lair 1 and 2, space ace and pac man deluxe dx.
