Well it's supposed to trigger a reset for your marquee display(s) whenever any of your display settings change so I would have expected it to work. Go to Tools->ThirdScreen Settings, click the gear icon in the upper right and double check that you have "Medium Shift Handling" selected. If that doesn't work then I'd be curious to see the log file. Select "Debug Log File Enabled" on that same settings screen, do the thing that doesn't work, then send me the log file (LaunchBox/Logs/ThirdScreenLog.txt).

If you can't figure out how to get this working you could try switching to the ThirdScreen plugin for your marquee. This scenario should work without any issue when using the plugin.

@banggun Sure, no problem. Try version 7.0.0. I added a command to launch a game by the game id. For example: "C:\Users\MyUserName\LaunchBox\ThirdParty\CLI_Launcher\CLI_Launcher.exe" launch_by_id "1e48ac15-55e2-47f7-a33e-486451a16def"- 53 replies

@flynnb1234 You can use it to display game controls but there is currently no option to cycle though images with a button press.
-
Hi @drady. Just go to tools->ThirdScreen Settings. Then click the gear icon in the upper right and select "Medium Shift Handling".

Version 5.0.3 now splits the per-screen mute option (under additional settings) into separate in-game mute and out-of-game mute options. @HiRez00, @dsync89

@Cadu The latest version (v2.0.1) should fix it. Please remember to check "Include Game Manuals" when running the tool.
-
@Cadu Thanks, I see the same thing and I'm working on a fix.
-
@KuGambit That is a 9000 IQ idea to use the screen types for that. And it will actually work with a small tweak. First grab the latest version of ThirdScreen that I just posted (v5.0.2). Then open ThirdScreen settings, click the gear icon in the upper right, and choose "Disable Display Validation". You can then stack two marquee "screens" on a single monitor (using Bottom 1/2 cut off, Top 1/2 cut off) or even three (using Bottom 2/3 cut off, Top+Bottom 1/3 cut off, Top 2/3 cut off).

@C-Beats Also I just did a test and it doesn't happen if I disable startup/end screens for MAME under Manage->Emulators. So if topmost is being altered for startup/end screens it seems like it's ending up getting applied to the main window and sometimes not getting cleared. For me it's not 100% of the time but it's up around 90%. Hope that helps... Here's the source for the workaround in case it might give you any clues (it's just a few lines): https://github.com/superrob3000/TempBigBoxTopmostCleanup/blob/master/TempBigBoxTopmostCleanup/App_SystemEvents.cs
-
@C-Beats Thank you for looking. The issue is definitely present without any plugins (deleting all plugins was the first thing I tried just to make sure I hadn't caused the issue myself).
-
Nice job on the marquee view! Sorry I don't know of any other way to fix the shifting issue if not using the plugin. -
@flanx also if all you are looking for is a fix for the shifting issue, you could try putting your marquee to the right of your main monitor in display settings.
-
You can't use the xaml file but the plugin shouldn't have any issues displaying your custom marquee files as long as you have added them as marquees in LaunchBox.

I have also been having the same issue after exiting MAME games and finally decided to look into it. @kim_sama98 @kingkoopa505 @Frankie_Sambuca Please try dropping the attached file into your LaunchBox/Plugins folder and restart BigBox. This fixed it for me (can't promise it will fix it for you). Edit: There's a chance this workaround might not work when running as non-admin (I haven't tried it). So if it doesn't work at first, try right-clicking on BigBox and selecting "Run as Administrator" before giving up. @C-Beats If any of the devs want to look into this, the issue I was seeing is that sometimes after exiting a MAME game, the BigBox window's topmost flag is set and remains set. I won't guess why that is happening, but I did verify it with GetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE). All the plugin is doing as a workaround is checking for this condition and clearing topmost with SetWindowPos(hWnd, HWND_NOTOPMOST, ...) when needed. TempBigBoxTopmostCleanup.dll
-
Same for me, FYI. Launchbox starts but not bigbox. No log file gets generated.
-
That's probably from ThirdScreen. Are you sure you deleted all plugins?
-
Try passing the Hide parameter to the Run commands like @derekpacoAlt mentioned above. I'll update the instructions to include it.
-
Thanks, but is there also a Thirdscreen debug log?(LaunchBox/Logs/ThirdScreenLog.txt)
-
Replace the one in LaunchBox/Data/
-
@brandon83dale Can you try replacing the ThirdScreen settings file with this one? If it still fails, then check to see if it created a log file this time (LaunchBox/Logs/ThirdScreenLog.txt). ThirdScreenSettings.xml
-
Hi @brandon83dale. I've never seen that error before. Which version of ThirdScreen do you have installed? If you have either of the following files, please post them on the ThirdScreen discussion page: LaunchBox/Data/ThirdScreenSettings.xml LaunchBox/Logs/ThirdScreenLog.txt
-
v2.0.0 now supports renaming game manuals as well. Tagging people who had requested the feature: @djweevil666 @Kevin Leenders
-
@Baggio I made a new plugin that will work better for the naming cleanup. Give it a try if you'd like. If you run into any issues let me know in the comments section of that file.

Fuzzy Media Name Cleanup View File A plugin to help restore missing media files when updating to LaunchBox 13.14+. LaunchBox versions 13.14 and higher use a stricter naming convention for media files than previous versions. As a result you might find that you have many missing media files after updating. If you are in that situation, you can do the following: First make a backup copy of your Images and Videos folders just to be safe. Temporarily revert to LaunchBox version 13.12 by closing LaunchBox/BigBox and running LaunchBox/Updates/LaunchBox-13.12-Setup.exe Start LaunchBox and open the plugin (Tools->"Fixup Fuzzy Media Names" to run it for all games in a platform or if you want to run it for an individual game then right-click the game and select "Fixup Fuzzy Media Names"). Follow the on-screen instructions to start the fixup process (you can choose between rom name format or game title format). Revert back to LaunchBox version 13.14 (or higher) by closing LaunchBox/BigBox and running LaunchBox/Updates/LaunchBox-13.14-Setup.exe LaunchBox versions 13.14 and higher should now recognize the media. The list of media files that had to be renamed can be found in LaunchBox/Logs/FuzzyNamingFixupLog.txt Can't promise this will fix every case but it should fix most cases of missing media caused by the 13.14 update. Installation: Copy FuzzyWuzzyNamingFixup.dll to your LaunchBox/Plugins folder. Submitter superrob3000 Submitted 05/23/2024 Category Third-party Apps and Plugins
