Why doesn’t the video show up so I can see it? (Yes I am logged in). thanks

Maybe it’s me… any way to sort/find ‘em? Thanks

Wow… thanks!

I have a modded Arcade1Up that has a horizontal monitor with dimensions of 1280 X 960. I can’t seem to find any themes built for those of us modding that will give the cabinet a full screen theme. Maybe my searches are incorrect, any suggestions (besides making my own, I’d like that to be last resort) :). Any particular searches or where I might find an option? I am considering using a template as is (but I hate the borders it adds above an below) the actual theme. Thanks

Where are the data files located so I can edit them en masse? Thanks * I need to assign a bunch of games an app to run before and after. Too bad we can't do this via bulk edit in LB.

Thanks. This worked. I didn't understand/know that there was a core BB.

Isn’t the “core”, the same as the path to “where it is installed”? Because BigBox does launch when I run the .bat file, it’s the other software that doesn’t run after I exit out of BigBox.

I've tried all sorts of variations and can't get it to execute after closing BigBox (I have command line parameters with the second program). Windows 11 Variation 1: start /w "" "C:\Users\Me\LaunchBox\BigBox.exe" C:\QRes.exe /x:1280 /y:960 Variation 2: start /w "" "C:\Users\Me\LaunchBox\BigBox.exe" C:\QRes.exe -/x:1280 -/y:960 Variation 3: start /w "" "C:\Users\Me\LaunchBox\BigBox.exe" "C:\QRes.exe /x:1280 /y:960" Variation 4: start /w "" "C:\Users\Me\LaunchBox\BigBox.exe" "C:\QRes.exe -/x:1280 -/y:960" I've even tried these on one line, not two. ???

I’m loving 1.3 and the marquees look 100% fine for me… the kids in the neighborhood are going to drool. Thanks so much for making this theme for us vertical people. Wish there was a matching horizontal one for my horizontal machine And thanks for taking the time and effort to help.

JaysArcade, I’m confused by this view then (see attached image). How do I get the (what looks like a marquee) above the game video? * That upper area where it shows a Mr. Do (marquee as I’m calling it) with the view I am using now, it is just the same clear logo in that location, not a “marquee” (which I think looks super good. Thanks

I'm using the VA 1.3 theme. Also thought, the MarqueeMod would replace the top of the screen with the marquees.

Hey JaysArcade, Good news and bad news... After shutting down and coming back to it in the morning, it worked (dunno why)... I love it! Bad news is that I then added the MarqueeMod, unblocked, installed in VA root folder... and it messed up VA so it doesn't work anymore. (Does the MarqueeMod need to be updated as well?) Thanks, this VA looks real nice and I know the neighborhood kids will love it.

This is what I am able to get so far. Only Games List View: Vertical Wheel 1 works. I found that my clear logos weren’t download, so I grabbed those. Seem correct to you? I’m still trying to see what settings I can do (adding/removing things from screen. (Remove “System Menu” and the time in the upper right. Thanks

I’ll be giving it a go here shortly and will update you (and others that find this thread). Thanks JayArcade

I did not unblock the zip, I had opened it moved the theme into the directory.

Ah yes, I was so not thinking about that… It’s hard finding a good vertical 4:3 to use. I appreciate anything you can do. Thanks for all your help, time and effort for all of us. 😊

So I checked, it doesn’t delete the theme videos, so I did manually. I now get the game videos, but the background opacity is way down and the vertical menu isn’t correct either.

I went for a full delete and a full re-import and then set theme to the two options shown above and this is what I get.

Yes, true. (I didn't see this post for some reason.) In arcade now.

Ahhh, I think I have selected both. I do know I’ve done the gameplay videos. (And like I said the themes as well). This is all interesting too, because as mentioned earlier. I would think that the theme determines what is shown. (But maybe priority is the theme videos are first, then backup is the gameplay videos.) Which I recall, the theme videos seemed faded, like there was opacity to them… * Now it seems I need to re-import my games and uncheck the theme videos, which is weird to have to go that route, but I get it. Things are as they are. Going down into arcade now. Thanks

Thanks. I’ll look into it in a few minutes… Are there any instructions on how to use the gameplay videos like you mentioned? I thought this was all a choice of how the theme is created (on which videos/images) show up where in a theme…? Thanks

Hi, I like what I see with the Mr Do example and clear logos… installing it default and even going through the views I can’t seem to find this look with the wheel on the side and full screen “Mr Do” (example). I have all the game videos and clear logos downloaded, etc. I’m running on a vertical monitor. I’m also only running MAME arcade games. Any suggestions/help/ideas? Thanks
