Thx 4 the reply to my email about the videos. I will test it but differently. When it freezes I'll replace the vid on the game tht freezes it & see what happens. Even if I found out the video folder fixed it I'd need to know what 1s are guilty. I have over 100k games/vids, so tht would take 4ever. But ur reply gave me an idea. Ty again.

just tried ty. it is now getting focus on anything rocket launcher does. i manage a few things tht are newer emulators & pc games direct w/ launchbox. those are still losing focus. but ty! its progress

After updating BigBox I have the lost focus issue. I have to get a mouse, open my cabs back plate, unplug my BT dongle for my xbox controllers, plug in the mouse, & click it on every game exit. I had the issue years back & a post from a hero named @jayjay fixed it. He had a single .dll & a single .ahk in a zip file. From what I gather through my attempts is the Auto HotKey moved to the Third Party folder & broke his original fix. Ive tried mixing & matching al the scripts & downloads in this thread. I tried to edit his old .dll. It has became impossible to follow this thread if youre just coming in to the thread. Is there any way 1 of you wizards can make me a simple zip folder w/ the proper .dll & .ahk please? I will erase my current plugins & auto hotkey .ahks. All I need is for the mouse to click after exiting a game like I manualy do. I dont care if I get a cursor or not. I dont care about screen fickers. I dont care if I need to turn off or on startup screens. I Just need the mouse clicked to refocus BigBox. Im so frustrated Im going to drill a hole & buy a long usb male to female splitter or a bluetooth keyboard just for this. It loses focus after every game & renders a cab I spent 3 years on unusable. Thank you to anybody that solved this & may find it in your heart to help me. I certainly appreciate you guys for helping others & Im thankful for jayjay solving it a few years back. UPDATE - I will also say when i open the script via double click it brings BigBox to the front & its in focus. Therefore I think the script is correct. Its something in the .dll thats not activating or executing the script named RegainFocus. @jayjay @JoeViking245 @Kiinkyfoxx

Hey, I was having this isue w/ Rocket Launcher & Dreamcast when launching a game from BigBox. I solved it by going to the Rocket Launcher UI app. Next, choose the guilty system/emu in RL (in my case Dreamcast.) Then find Settings>the Main tab>Suspend Front End & set that to true. It's in the tp box of the RL settings once you highlight ur system & hit tht green Settings icon. Leaving it on default wasn't good enough for me. Sharing in case anybody reads this & is still having the issue or if it pops back up for anyone else like it did for me in the last 2 weeks.

Mega Multi Wheel Click Pack - Hyperspin & More! View File Now taking requests. If you have a certain game sound or other certain sound/clip lmk. I will volume match it & add it for you. Requires BigBox 11.14 Mega sound pack for BigBox when scrolling through wheels. Instead of a single click you get many iconic game sounds & a few random, suprise sounds as you scroll. The pack is put together & normalized by me. Of course sound cred goes to OG devs. It has several of the common sounds included w/ stock Hyperspin (I re-downloaded/normalized only the best.) I have added a ton more sounds sourced from all over the place & normalized them as well. This will give you a unique wheel sound with every move. It will also sound quite unique compared to Hyperspin. Install is simple... unzip & drop the folder into your BigBox 'Sounds' folder then select it as your sound pack under BigBox Sound Settings. I only have 1 Select, 1 Startup, & 1 Back sound in this pack so if desired overwrite those 3 w/ your fav sounds youve been using. Just dont add a Move sound. Leave the Move Folder as is. This gives you the ability to run your same sound theme you currently use with a spruced up wheel click similar to Hyperspin. Of course you can just keep the included Select, Startup, & Back sounds if desired. Tips: I like to keep my music/video volume low-ish, in the 80% range. I'd advise that ou do some adjustng of your video/music levels until you strike the right balance . I DISABLE the 'play click/move sound when direction arrow is held' option in the BigBox sound settings. I also DISABLE the 'play click/move sounds while in Attract Mode' under the Attract Mode Settings. That is personal taste as it is too many sounds playing at once w/ these options checked imho. Something else I find that helps ALLOT is under Settings>Options>Transitions set 'Game Image/Video Transition' to Explosion & also 'Platform Video Transition' to Explosion. You can do any transition you want ovbiously but the idea is it delays the video start slightly & just enough to clean up the move/click sound so it sounds cleaner w/o much overlap. I just personaly found 'Explosion' worked well. I will continue adding sounds as more games pop in my head or via requests.

I have Hyperspin & Bigbox running on my cab. BB certainly has its advantages but the main thing I miss when using Bigbox vs Hypererspin is the sounds. When scrolling through games or platforms Hyperspin plays a random classic game sound every move. Bigbox only has 1 move sound. I know it can be changed but its not as cool. I tried to make a plugin but it didnt work. Anybody with skills to alow us to dump a pack of move sounds & BB randomizes them ala Hperspin? Thanks so much for reading.
