Thank you for your reply. I was able to finally find a resolution that worked PERFECTLY for what I am trying to do. It is 1440x1080. That fixed all of my issues immediately. I'm not sure why that is but regardless, I'm keeping it and not updating a thing ever. It works lol.

Hello, I am using Big Box on a 4k tv in portrait mode. It was the best way for me to get a large screen while using a 4:3 ratio for my cabinet. I built a replica Killer Instinct cabinet and it looks AMAZING I'd I don't say so myself. The issue however is that the font size in Big Box makes it so only the first 5-6 letters of menu options as well as game titles display. I found another post on the forums here but it was from 2017 and none of the fixes worked for me (my scaling is set to 100 in windows for example and I have set my resolution to 1080p as well as tried others). My question, is there a way to change/adjust the font size in Big Box and if not, why is that? I ask the question not to point fingers or anger anyone. It's an honest question that I'm curious about. Thank you for any help anyone is able to provide.

Has anyone successfully used a TV in portrait mode in a cabinet build? I have an old machine and am converting it and it seems like a 42" TV would fit nicely in portrait mode to give me the best coverage and maintain a 4:3 ratio. Just wondering if anyone has done this and what they did to ensure the display worked correctly and only displayed where the monitor was viewable. In other words, portions of the TV display would be hidden behind the marque and control panel. So in reality I'd have about a 27" display (PERFECT!). Thanks for any links or thoughts!

Thanks a ton for the reply CDBlue. I'm just happy to hear I'm not the only one. As for what you described in experiencing this while editing games, that describes my experience as well. Thankfully it's a minor issue and not a show stopper. I certainly can live with it as the overall product is AMAZING!

Hello, This is my first post here on the forums and I'm a fairly new user to LaunchBox/BigBox. I have a lot set up but one continuing issue I'm intermittently running into (specifically when using LaunchBox only) is that SOMETIMES the audio from the preview video continues to play in the background, even after I've selected a different game which has a different preview video. I have no other videos or audio playing from anywhere but from LaunchBox. So this is odd to have audio playing for the preview video for, say, San Francisco Rush on MAME, but I have selected Bushido Blade for PS1. Using this example, the video AND audio from the preview video of Bushido Blade however the audio will overlap with the audio that is "stuck" in the background. In this example, I've tried going back to San Francisco Rush and replaying the video that appears to be stuck in the background. Unfortunately the video plays again and the audio over laps with the audio that is stuck in the background (in other words it's as if the video is playing twice because I can hear overlapping audio but I only see one video). The only solution to this is to quit LaunchBox or to mute my PC if I'm performing maintenance (such as updating metadata on multiple files). I am running Windows 10 Pro x64 (version 2004 build 19041.928) and LaunchBox 11.11. Has anyone had this issue? Are there any steps I can take to troubleshoot this? Thank you!
