theme CriticalZone / CriticalZone - BlueBox
neil9000 replied to CriticalCid's topic in Big Box Custom Themes
Yes it does, you need to set a switch theme button, then just go to the view you want to change and use the button and pick a theme. -
with a game loaded into the core open the UI and go to settings/video and change the view to 16:9 from core provided that will then show the full screen.
-
that sounds like a monitor/TV overscan/simple aspect ratio issue.
-
cause windowed would run at normal windows refresh right? Then fullscreened if not a supported refresh wouldn't work. Just grabbing at straws here.
-
Actually, could it be a refresh rate issue?
-
Yeah agreed, whats the resolution of your cabinet monitor? Is it a strange one?
-
yeah I wasn't thinking strictly mame, just the system in general.
-
could be missing dependencies on the cabinet system.
-
not yet, but possibly coming. Although I think you may already now that....

You see in this pic, Dizzy wants either, enter, fire or K for Kempston.
-
Hmm, intriguing. im gonna guess with all due respect you did something wrong. cause it does work just fine here. Bigbox doesn't care about your controller im sad to say, that's for bigbox only, emulators don't care. Did you bring up the spectrum keyboard and navigate to the key needed to start the game?
-
First of all im sorry to here you are having problems. Launchbox next is being used by many of our users already as a daily driver, and this is the first I have heard about any such thing. Could you please be a little more specific about what you say has been deleted.

Hi and welcome to the community. Spectrum works just fine in retroarch. Im guessing you are using the main settings in retroarch to set your controller, when you should be using the quick menu. When you have a spectrum game loaded up hit F1 on the keyboard to bring up the quick menu, this particular menu is only available while a game is loaded to a core and is specifically options for said core. There will be a controls option in that menu which is were you should choose Kempston as the controller and choose save core remap in that menu to have that auto load in future. As for actually using it in game most spectrum games make you press a key to specify your controls, keyboard, Kempston etc. By default the back/select button on your controller will bring up the spectrum onscreen keyboard, then you just need to press whatever button the game wants for Kempston, this varies from game to game. Any other questions feel free to ask.

Yeah im guessing the dongle is doing something there as it does format conversions of controllers to make them work on systems they are not supposed to. Mine works fine in Dolphin and im guessing @Retro808 works OK as well?
-
Depends on the type of board you get, if you go more budget things like wi fi and bluetooth are things they omit to keep the price low. I have a 3rd gen i5 and my motherboard doesn't have either wi fi or Bluetooth.
-
Yeah agreed, I would use the built in ones if available, but they don't cover all systems, so using normal overlays in conjunction with a lcd shader of some description works well also.
-
There are a couple ow ways to do this, you can duplicate configs as detailed in this post. Or you can use a core splitter .bat to make alternate versions of the same cores. With this method you don't save as a core override, you save a actual config in the main UI.
-
also I notice you have it in a _Default folder also with the overlay in, that's not needed for retroarch that is a rocketlauncher file system. I just have a folder called Bezel in the retroarch folder with all my configs and .png loose inside it.
-
Cool glad you got it working. Now for any future overlays you want you can just copy/paste and rename the .cfg you have for the other systems and edit the .png its referencing inside.
-
In the latest version 1.7.3 you can also set the overlays in the quick menu now, but if you are on a older version then yes it will be in settings/onscreen overlay with a core loaded. I think it may be a naming issue, if I remember correctly it shouldn't have any spaces in the name, so just AtariLynx for the .cfg name and possibly for the image its calling inside of the config also.
-
Yeah I think it used to be in the quick menu, but must of been taken out at some point. I just have the same as you, a choice of Hardware or Software. Obviously you want hardware in order to use your GPU for internal scaling.
-
Its not a shader its a overlay, so you go to the quick menu, then onscreen overlay turn overlays on navigate to it then save as a core override as usual. If you want to add a lcd shader or the like as well just go into the shader section as normal and pick the handheld section and there are a ton of different shaders in there.
-
That is a rocketlauncher bezel you have there not a retroarch one. Ill attach a .cfg, just rename it and inside change the image its looking for to the same name as the image you want to use. Atari2600.cfg
-
Yeah, im wondering if he is only looking in the quick menu? Because software/hardware are not options in the main settings.
