[Realistic Marquee Monitor FX]

Hi, thanks for thinking along with me here.  So just to be clear, the plan is to take platform marquee xaml file under LaunchBox\Themes\Neon Deluxe Arcade\Views copy it, and rename the copy to the game marquee file name to be found under that same location I have bolded?  In essence, 'PlatformMarqueeView' becomes 'GameMarqueeView'?  Is that what you mean? 

But for MAME I would not want to use the platform marquee, so how would that distinction work?  Wouldn't it have to be one or the other?

But will try tomorrow.

The dpi settings need to be the same, so both displays set to 100% or 150% or 175%.

When they are the same at 100%, as I just tried again, my marquee screen just shows the desktop, there are no marquees and no marquee holder. just regular desktop screen.  Tried both at 150% and same result.  So right now to be able to see the game marquees, my primary screen must be at 150% and my marquee screen at 100%.  Which I guess is very odd.  I'd like to have both at 100% though.

 

Many thanks for the new file by the way.

 

EDIT: Well, uhm okay fully restarted my PC and now it is ok.  Not sure what kind of logic is at play here.

Hi sorry me again, I figure this might be related.  I just posted this in another thread:

Hi guys I have a question which seems related to this topic.  To be able to play Outrun 2 via teknoparrot I had to set the DPI of my primary screen (4K screen) to 100% (from 150%).  Otherwise the image was blown up.  But what I noticed now is that with that DPI set to 100%, my marquee screen in big box isn't working.  I just see the desktop on that 2nd screen which is a 2560 x 1080 by the way.  I switched the DPI of primary screen back to 150% and marquee was working again.  

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?  Obviously I'd like to keep the DPI of primary screen to 100%.  Thanks

It's strange because I do see solutions to other marquee related issues popping up that actually encourage both DPI's to be set at 100%.

I'll have a look tomorrow I'm not sure I understand your question but you shouldn't need to create images with the images inside the packs provided here, the images used will overlay any images you have set in your marquee image priorities.

For Console games I'd like to use the same platform marquee for all the games.  but I'd rather not have to create the same platform marquee png, say 200 times because I have 200 snes roms.

Awesome.  I use e. Realistic Marquee FX Subtle - Complete.   Thank you.  It's really eerie how authentic the peeled paint spots look on the game marquee holder.  I guess that's why we buy sleek, borderless ultrawides. 😁

Hey quick follow up question. If I want to use the platform marquee image (so the png itself) for all my games under a specific platform (ex snes or genesis), do I really need to create that platform marquee image for every single one of the 200 roms I got?

This worked great on my new setup but question. I noticed there is also a PlatformMarqueeView file under LaunchBox\Themes\Neon Deluxe Arcade\Views

But how do I change that?  I ask this because my platform marquees, although in the right folder because I can actually see them on my marquee screen, do not have the marquee holders info.

Thanks

Glad you like  Download the file select all images in the zip and extract the images to [launchbox folder]\Images\Arcade\Arcade - Marquee

Super.  Don't have marquee screen yet but it's happening soon enough and in that case I will be prepared.

Thanks for this.  Are these automatically part of the database or must I download the file and then manually place each marquee in the appropriate folder?
