Hi guys, i realise there may be more appropriate forums for this question, but i'm sure there is a wealth of knowledge here. I'm building a MAME/Emulation cabinet running BigBox frontend, the monitor (TV) i purchased does not auto power on when the power is connected, which is a bugger because it will be inside a cab and i was hoping for a one button power up for the PC/monitor ect. I'm wondering is there is a way to make this happen, I'm no good with electronics, but bellow is a picture of the IR sensor and power on buttons on a PCB i have detached from the bottom of the TVs case. the small button needs to be clicked once to power the TV on and unfortunately holding/jamming the button down doesn't force the TV to turn on when plugged in. Thanks guys.

Hi guys, Im looking at building a PC that is dedicated for a MAME cab, however I want it to be able to emulate N64. I was wondering what a reasonable entry level system would be that is cost effective. I simply require it to have launchbox running MAME, NES, SNES AND N64. Alternatively I would love you do a Raspberry Pi type build, but from what I see they are not up to the task of N64 emulation. thanks.

Thanks for the reply, I tried this many different ways with constant failure. In the end i have it working as i wanted, i had to change the Bigbox default view to "platforms categories" and set all my consoles to show in "root" so that my first wheel shows all consoles including "Arcade" as a console, then when i select arcade, the playlists are a separate wheel main startup screen with all "platforms" bellow Arcade sub-categories inside the "Arcade" platform.thanks for all the replies.

Hi @neil9000 Thanks for the reply, just to be clear my default view is platforms as picturedso i want the playlists to show up once i select Arcade from platforms so that i can have my MAME library nice and tidy while having my main startup screen to show platforms only. sorry again for my epic NOOBINESS cheers

Hi @Retro808 Trying to figure out exactly how this works, I'm also using the Unified Theme and i want my default view to be platforms. Once i select the platform "Arcade" i want to see the playlists as sub-categories on a wheel instead of a confusing list of over 2800 games. I hope this is indeed possible, and sorry if it's actually very simple and i'm just being a complete NOOB. Thanks in advance.
