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.

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.
Thanks

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.
BigBox randomly freezes completely
in Troubleshooting

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.
