It maybe something easy I missed but is there a way to hide a platform in BigBox. I have a few that I am adding but are not yet ready. Thanks Falcon

I wanted to see if there is a theme or a way to setup the game list to look like one of the Critical Zone Platform views. The one I want is where the video is full screen and the wheel can be on the side or bottom but when you have stop moving the wheel it will auto hide and all you see is full video. Thanks --//Falcon\\--

There is a file called daphne_log.txt in the daphne folder. Open it clear it and save the file. Then in daphne run the game let it load and then exit. When you reopen the daphne_log.txt you will see the command line that should work for you. Here is what my file looks like. The red line is where I get the command line from. (just make sure that all things are pointing to the right place.) Create a corba.bat file and put that line in just like I listed above. Then in Launchbox edit cobra game and under Launcher application path point to the cobra.bat file. Under emulator uncheck the box where it says to Use an emulator. When you run the game it should run all the info from the corba.bat file. --DAPHNE version 1.0.12 --Command line is: daphne.exe cobraab vldp -framefile D:\Daphne\vldp\cobra\cobra.txt -blank_searches -min_seek_delay 1000 -seek_frames_per_ms 20 -homedir Z:\roms\Daphne -bank 0 00000000 -bank 1 01000000 -sound_buffer 2048 -fullscreen -x 640 -y 480 --CPU : AuthenticAMD 3500 MHz || Mem : 2048 megs --OS : Windows NT Derivative || Video : AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series --OpenGL: Compiled In --RGB2YUV Function: MMX --Line Blending Function: MMX --Audio Mixing Function: MMX Setting alternate home dir: Z:\roms\Daphne Setting sound buffer size to 2048 Setting screen width to 640 Setting screen height to 480 Set 640x480 at 32 bpp with flags: 80000001 Initializing sound system ...

Hey Daytona24, I had the same problem and I made a .bat file with this in it and it works fine now in Launchbox. Just set your paths for your system. @echo off cd data cls @start Z:\roms\Daphne\Daphne.exe cobraab vldp -framefile Z:\roms\Daphne\vldp\cobra\cobra.txt -blank_searches -min_seek_delay 1000 -seek_frames_per_ms 20 -homedir Z:\roms\Daphne -bank 0 00000000 -bank 1 01000000 -sound_buffer 2048 -fullscreen -x 640 -y 480 --//Falcon\\--

Is there a way in Big Box to filter out games by ratings so you can hide some games from children? Thanks Falcon

I am working on building a full size cabinet and trying to make a decision on what buttons and joysticks to use. For button I don't care about LED lights but want the concave buttons. Happ is the type that I am used to. Is Happ the way to go or is there somebody else that makes a button like them. Joysticks also I like the older american type the bat type. I was looking at the Mag-Stick Plus which lets you change from 4 way to 8 way by pulling the stick up and turning it. Any help or guidance would be great. Also if anybody needs a questions answered be my guest and ask you questions here also. Thanks

I wanted to ask about a few features that I may not see but maybe there. One is when you have selected roms tagged as hide. Is there a way that when in Launchbox when you select to show hidden roms that maybe there is a way to identifies that which roms are the hidden ones maybe like a H in the corner of the picture. Also I see that there is a scroll bar on the side of Launchbox to scroll down but is there one so you can select a letter like an a-z bar? Thanks Falcon

The cool thing is in the CP Wizard app you can build your controller panel just like you have on your arcade cabinet (1, 2, 3, 4 player also stuff like spinners and trackballs) and each game you load it will map it to that controller that you designed. No need to download each one for each game it displays it on the fly.

Wanted to see if anybody has used this app CP Wizard. I tried it and it works pretty good just did not know if there is anyway to display in game control config other then this app. I know there is LED Blinky but I do not plan on putting lighted buttons. Maybe a way that this maybe integrated into Lauchbox and BigBox later. http://headsoft.com.au/index.php?category=cpwizard&page=about Thanks Falcon

Thanks so far the problem has stopped.

I'm not sure if I did something or not, but after I add videos to LaunchBox and ran BigBox I get a sound that keeps looping. For example if I load BigBox and click on Arcade the first game that I have that loads is 005. When the video starts to preview sometimes the first 3 or 4 seconds of the audio keeps looping. No matter where I go to in BigBox the sound keeps repeating even in the BigBox menu. It happens like 60% of he times I load BigBox and if it does not happen right way it may pickup sound from another game. Thanks for any help, Falcon

got it thx

I have a game that the only way it will run is if I run a .bat file. Is there a way to load a game by selecting a .bat file and not selecting a emu? The .bat file runs the emu that I need. Thanks Falcon

no nothing i see that I need. I downloaded the bezels for mame and that is all I would have used it for just did not know if there was anything else worth using it for. Thanks

thanks what is the path for the one that is used now?
