  1. Is there a way to sync Launchbox directly with a raspberry pi to run a digital marquee? I have a system that uses a 15khz arcade monitor and a somewhat unusual GPU setup. I prefer not to complicate things by driving a separate high resolution display for the marquee. It would be ideal if I can slave a Rpi to Big Box to run the marquee. I know that I can use the Pixelcade "software only" DIY solution with LED Blinky, but this is less than ideal for a few reasons... 1. It requires LED Blinky which seems like an unnecessary layer of complexity. 2. It's dependent on Wifi and a network connection to work. I generally try to keep my machines airgapped. 3. I'd have to purchase the Pixelcade software. This is fine, but I'm not using any of their other stuff so it seems unnecessary. So, is there a way to drive a Rpi (or some other display-generating device) directly from Big Box to sync the marquee images? Ideally, this would happen over some sort of wired connection (USB?) rather than a network connection. Or is there some other creative solution that I'm not thinking about? - Dave
  2. OK - thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if I was missing something obvious or just unable to do what I want with what I have. - Dave
  3. I'm trying to add NES ROMs using Retroarch. The problem is that I can't get the ROMs to play... I click on them and nothing happens. The problem is not in Launchbox, though that's ultimately what I'm trying to fix. I've tested the ROMs in Retroarch using the Mesen core and they fail to load. I've tested using Mesen stand-alone and they also fail to load. Here's my question... I'm using the NES ROMs from the MAME Software List. I see that they are zipped .prg plus other files. Mesen is looking for .nes or .unf files so I'm not surprised that it doesn't like them, but I'm totally lost as to how (or if) I can use these ROMs in Retroarch with the Mesen core. Is this possible or have I gone totally astray? - Dave
