[Can I use LaunchBox/BigBox in an Arcade Cabinet with CRT?]

Yes but you will want to set it up on a modern display first and find a theme that looks and functions better on a CRT.

What's the best theme which works fine on a CRT?

[Can I use LaunchBox/BigBox in an Arcade Cabinet with CRT?]

I own that cabinet down below. I built a PC which has a H81M-DGS motherboard and a ArcadeVGA R5 340X (modded to 15Khz and using Emudriver) running Windows 10 LTSC.

Can I use BigBox on it? Or should I use something like GroovyArcade or GroovyMame?

Oh OK.  I assumed when you said "I followed these indications", you were following the instructions from 6 years ago that you quoted.

Sorry, I haven't used the new built in feature yet to be able help you.

I tried the instructions from 6 years ago as well but same result.

If using LaunchBox/BigBox version 13.1 or newer, you can set it up with the built-in feature.

 

That's what I did, thanks. But, as I said, I'm still seeing briefly the Windows login screen for around 2 seconds before BigBox boots.

Thank you to Jason and his team for all the work on this FE and to all that have contributed to LB

Good Luck.   

I followed these indications but I'm still briefly see the windows login screen before BigBox launching. I'm using Windows 10 LTSC. Any solutions?
