I am using windows 10 and i got the same error as you (among others) before i figured out the correct settings.

I really struggled to get my ACR122U card reader working with windows. Here's a guide. 1. Turn on Smart Card Plug and Play service via regedit; Registry Hive HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Registry Path SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\ScPnP Value Name EnableScPnP Value Type REG_DWORD Enabled Value 1 Disabled Value 0 2. plug in the card reader 3. install this driver: https://www.acs.com.hk/en/driver/3/acr122u-usb-nfc-reader/ Check in device manager that your card is found and named ACR122 Smart Reader. 4. Edit your services like in this screenshot: Right click the service and apply as seen here. 5. Reboot. 6. Install the launchbox cli-launcher plugin by following the readme found in the archive here: 6. Intall the NFC launcher found here; Follow the instructions in the thread. 6. Scan a card, this will install the smart card drivers, that's why we enabled smart card plug n play. 7.Launch launchbox 8. Right click a game, and select program nfc card (not the exact wording, but i am not at the arcade computer atm). 9. Scan the card again, the game should now launch.

And now that we have it working nicely... i got this idea... Wouldn't it be awesome if bigbox went into a kind of screen saver mode with an animation or so prompting the user to scan a card to play?

Super smooth implementation, i love it!

Woohoo! Will test after work!

any news? 😃

This would be very good to have in my case as i host highscore competitions!

superrob3000: nice! this is what i was secretly hoping to read! let me know if you need a tester. i just ordered a reader and some cards!

I am looking for this as well!

Awesome! I am also running a cab at work, this is just what i needed!

I have this problem as well, always had.

No shmup players using bigbox? Come on!

I hsd this issue when my windows 7 install wasn’t up to date. Are you up to date?

I am really struggling to find a vertical startup video for my shmups cab. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I love the new bigbox shell feature. I use it instead of instant sheller now. There is one thing that instant sheller does better though, it hides the login, windows startup and mouse, so that you don’t see any trace of windows when booting. Can bigbox be improved to hide it as well?
