  1. Hi all, I have been having so many issues with trying to make my arcade cabinet a "set it and forget" when using Big Box with the Sinden Lightgun; either Sinden doesn't start automatically when I turn on my computer, and if it does, then the border doesn't work, or if I do set up everything first, then when I go back into Big Box, some P.C. games that worked fine before, suddenly only play in the background. It's been very frustrating! I saw that some users recommend launching the Sinden app just for lightgun games using the Additional Apps feature from LaunchBox, (which would be awesome!), but I'm not sure how I would close the app when I exit out of the game. It looks like some people use AHK or create BAT files (neither of which I've had much luck with making in the past), or they write an exit script (which I don't see how to do for individual games). Would anyone please be able to tell me if it would work to just add the Sinden app to individual games, and then what would be the easiest most simple way of automatically closing the app when I exit out of the game? Thank you so much for your time and help!
  2. In the case of CityHunter2, I downloaded "the grid" along with the theme from the CityHunter2 download list, changed its name to "Background" and switched it out with the other video that was already in the CityHunter2 video folder. It plays perfectly in the background as soon as Big Box starts up. With the CriticalZoneV2, however, all I did was change the View to Vertical Wheel 2 by pushing the keyboard key assigned to Switch View. I have not messed with any of the folders or settings. In both cases, everything appears to be working fine, but then they both stop playing after I go into the options menu, return to the game wheel, and get that error report.
  3. I appreciate the suggestions, but unfortunately, it is still not working after trying the repair feature, doing an update, and then doing a new install. I think that there must be some kind of issue when having a video in the background. I tried other themes and they all worked well before I tried to reinstall the CityHunter. After the error reports continued, I figured that I would just have to find something else, so I went with CriticalZoneV2 - BlueBox. I downloaded it from within Big Box and everything was working perfectly fine, until I switched the view to having the blue flame burning in the background. When I went into the menu options and returned to the games, I got another error report.
  4. Thank you for getting back to me! I am running City Hunter 2 with "The Grid" as the background video. The video was renamed to "Background."
  5. Hello all, I'm having an issue with Big Box where whenever I leave the Game Wheel to go to the Options Menu, I get an Error Report when I try to return to my games. I have attached an image of the report that I get when I leave the Options Menu. Big Box works perfectly fine otherwise, and this wouldn't be too big of an issue if I wasn't about to move my P.C. into an arcade cabinet that I built, so I won't have a mouse as readily available to close the Error Window. I am hoping that, like some other users who have posted their error messages, someone can take a quick look at what is wrong and find a simple solution. Thank you so much for your help!
  6. Thank you; everything worked perfectly! I cannot believe how simple this was! I've been tempted to skip over this aspect of my build out of fear that I'd somehow ruin the controls for the other games, get stuck in the wrong mode, or if the extra work would be worth it to just play a few games a little better, but with this plugin, it just became the easiest step of all! I just wanted to thank you and let you know how much I appreciate your work!
  7. Hi! This looks amazing and just what I have been looking for! I'm fairly new to all this, so it has been a little frustrating every time I search for a good tutorial for my servostik, LEDBlinky always seems to part of their equation. I'm a little nervous about messing around with controller support options. Many MAME games have controller supports listed, but I'd say a majority of my games do not, especially games using different emulators. I only have a small hand full of 4-way games, so would it work to just make sure all of the 4-Way Joystick games have the option selected and leave the rest alone? It almost appears to me (like I said, I am new at this) that the plugin has 8-way selected as a default, so when you would start up a 4-way game, the servostik would switch to 4-way, then switch back to 8-way after you exit from the game? Thank you for any help or advice you can give me; I have spent a lot of time finally getting everything to play just right and I really do not want to mess anything up!
  8. Update: Yup, the .bin was the issue! After I deleted those .zip files and replaced them with a different set that had .pic inside of them, everything starting working perfectly!
  9. Sorry for bumping an old topic, but I too am having this issue when trying to load Naomi GD games, and I feel like I have followed every setup guide correctly. I have been successful loading regular naomi, atomiswave, and cave games in DEmul and have run other chd games like SF3 and KI2 in Mame just fine, so I'm really stumped as to what I am doing wrong here! In my roms folder for DEmul, I have the game .zip, a folder with the same name as the game with the chd inside of it, and the naomi, naomi2, and naomigd bios zips, but when I try to load a naomigd game, I get an, "unable to find 317-####-jpn.pic" in romset ****. My only idea of what might be wrong is when I look inside the game zip, it says it is a .bin and not a .pic? Thank you for your help!
