I know there are some options in the MAME ini file to configure secondary screens, but that seems applicable when using MAME without a front end like Launchbox/BigBox. Surely I'm not the first person to experience this, any suggestions would be appreciated. I would like to get this working properly. Thanks

Thank you very much for your suggestion, I've confirmed the CRT is set as the primary monitor and the desk top is extended to the secondary monitor. Thanks again

Hello, I recently installed a secondary LCD monitor to display the game marquee. I was encouraged when the secondary monitor was recognized and I was able to extend the desktop to it. While in Bigbox and cycling through the various platforms or the games within, the secondary monitor shows the appropriate marquee. It's only after playing a game and returning to the Big Box menu that I run into trouble. Bigbox is no longer open on my primary monitor (CRT) but on the secondary monitor instead, and for a period of a minute or two I can't move the mouse from the secondary screen to the primary screen. Restarting BigBox resolves the issue until I play another game. I'm using Groovy Mame and Emudriver to connect to a 39" Sharp Image CRT and I have a AMD Radeon HD 5450 with the VGA connected to the CRT and the DVI-D connected to the secondary LCD display. I have the number of monitors in the MAME ini file set to 1. Although I'm not sure the issue is related to MAME as the same issue occurs when exiting games in other emulators. Is it possible the different screen resolutions for the two monitors may be the issue. The CRT is set to 640 x 480 and the secondary LCD monitor is 1280 x 1024. I'm running the most recent version of Launchbox/BigBox. I've reviewed the other posts related to the use of secondary monitor, but I could not find a resolution specific to this issue. Attached are a few pictures for reference. Any assistance will be most appreciated, thank you.

Here's the latest update, controls installed, working through some issues with LEDBlinky, once I sort that out, I'll install WS2812B LEDs driven by a Rapsberry Pico to further animate the control panel. Still in search of someone who can design a LCARS BigBox theme, thanks.

Hi D8thstar, I'm looking for someone as well who can design an LCARS theme for big box. I'm in the process of redesigning my control panel in an LCARS theme, thought you might like to see it. Please let me know if you come across an LCARS theme or someone who would design it, and I'll do the same, thanks. Kent
