Really since the last stable version, if I leave my machine on Attract mode, it rarely will stay on for more than 3-5 hours. I'll come back and it has closed out Big Box entirely. I've looked at the log files but I don't see any exception information, it's just like BigBox just...stopped. Is there some verbose logging I could turn on to help get to the bottom of this to either contribute it as a bug or find out if there's something local (like bad video or image) causing the issue?

I figured it would be worth an update - I'm still partially dealing with it. It's not what I would have expected but for some reason if I set Display 1 (primary) back to 150% scaling, it works. If I set the main display to 100% it stops working. Not ideal, but I can only assume perhaps it has that scaling number cached somewhere? I don't know, but if anybody is having similar issues try changing the scaling back and forth on the primary monitor. Not sure why that makes the second monitor quit working though.

Hi guys - my marquee screen stopped working sometime recently though I'm not exactly sure when. I've been through all the recent beta releases but now I'm at 11.11 stable. I assumed at first it had something to do with the Beta but I'm guess now that's not the case. I've done the standard stuff like make sure full screen optimizations are off for bigbox.exe, that dpi overrides are set to application. I've set the Marquee Screen to none, closed it out, restarted it, set it back. I've validated windows has no issues with the display (I can display other stuff there just fine). I've even tried switching Screen 1 and Screen 2 around in the settings and surprisingly, that didn't have any affect at all. It's kind of like the Primarily / Marquee Screen setting isn't doing anything. Any suggestions - perhaps places to look for logging or errors? I've received no stack traces or anything - it just never displays anything on the second screen (worth noting, this was working fine until super recently).

Thank you! I don't know why that site never turned up in my searches but over the weekend I managed to get all the art assets downloaded and merged. For anybody in the future that may stumble across it, I did the following: 1. Got the "full" artwork packs, extract to the artwork folder. 2. Got the "full" artwork update packs, extract to the artwork folder (if prompted, overwrite) 3. Got the widescreen packs, extract to the artwork folder (if prompted, overwrite) 4. Got the Auxiliiary (extras) packs, exact to the artwork folder (if prompted, overwrite). The Electronic / LCD stuff tends to be in the Auxilliary packs, so I saved them for last to prevent them being overrwritten by something else.

Hi guys - I'm a little bit new to Mame, and I just can't seem to find the answer (google + these forums), or I'm just looking for the wrong terms. So I have Mame 230, and I've found complete mame rom sets and chd sets for mame 220. Importing the romset, and getting them working so far isn't an issue for me. I specifically have an interest in the Handheld / Electronic games, which nearly all of which have external artfiles like the background and bezels, etc. As an example, tmkombat.zip works, however it prompt that obviously external artwork is missing. I've googled until I'm blue in the face, I can't seem to find artwork packs that cover a whole romset, or even part of one. I checked Mr. Do but none of the ones I'm looking for (handhelds) exist on there. I know I'm looking for something along the lines of "mame extras", but I just cannot find a source at all. I get Handheld / Electronic stuff isn't popular, but I thought perhaps there was complete art packs out there somewhere. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

I can't believe I looked at that many a million times and didn't see that. Thank you so much for answering me and not hazing me for the dumb question

Hi guys, first post - brand spanking new to BigBox premium. In fact my first arcade build at all. I'm currently using a slightly tweaked version of CoverFlow 3.0 theme, and I close / reopen BigBox a lot. I'd like to be able to change the default opening view to be Platform Categories and not just Platform, but I can't figure out where to do this. I searched the forums but couldn't find any previous answers - I don't see an obvious option in the config xml files to edit, and I don't see an obvious setting in the theme specific options. This feels like something right up under my nose and I can't find it - any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
