Hello, I know how to show the marquee of any game while in launchbox but how do you keep a marquee on gameplay? I would like to have it show on all platforms, but would like to start with just getting mame 1.7 to do it. I have pointed the diretory within mame marquee to the correct folder, but nothing. Please help. my MAME 1.7 ini # # CORE CONFIGURATION OPTIONS # readconfig 1 writeconfig 0 # # CORE SEARCH PATH OPTIONS # rompath "D:\Arcade\System roms\MAME\roms" hashpath hash samplepath E:\Arcade\Emulators\MAME17\samples artpath E:\Arcade\Emulators\MAME17\artwork ctrlrpath ctrlr inipath ini fontpath . cheatpath cheat crosshairpath crosshair pluginspath plugins languagepath language highpath dats #

thanks. it worked. but it wont launch from lb...only from retro

Hi, I can get the games running in retroarch outside of launchbox but not from launchbox. Also, it is never in full screen when I launch from RetroArch, it is a small box with black around it. Any idea? Thanks!

OMG!!! DOS76 you are the TRUTH! It works! Just got knocked out by Sandman though....=( It has been a long time since I tinkered with my cab and had to remember where the correct emulator I was using was located. gotta delete these old files and old emulators. I was away messing around with my pinball X cab for the last month and a half. If you ever need help with that, im your man! Thanks again, bro's. Gonna go kick some more rear end in puchout! OR rather, get my rear end kicked. lol.

where can I set that?

Oh boy... Looks a bit to techie for a noob like me. Tried doing a search and stuff about filters and commandline, etc... Do you have any suggestions on the keyword to use in there to get to the monitor part?

Outstanding! Thanks!

Yup, That is exactly what I did. I bulk edit the games. Its been a while. hahhaha.. Thanks!!!!

Thanks! Do you have a link to it? did a search on the forum and came up with this very thread. Also, I noticed that sometimes when I launch a game, the marquee disappears.. is there a way to stop that from happening?

FOUND IT! hahaha... deselect it as the default emulator for the platform. =)

Hi, It has been a while and I cant remember how I got rocket laucher to launch my mame game. Now, I do not want that to happen anymore... Seems like a waste for just a few gimmicky load screens. My machine loads the game so fast, it doesnt need it. How do I remove RL from launching my MAME games from launchbox? Thanks!

Hi, I have just purchased a second monitor and wanted to use it from games that have two screens like punchout, etc... I see LB can show the marquee, but how can I get the second monitor to show the monitor playfield on game like PO? Thanks!

any luck? im trying the same thing.

Yeah... I have the same settings. No biggie. Thanks for the help though. I think ima stick with NullDC for now. Just want to start playing and not worry about the crashing with LB and the non full screen.

Hi, I am using retroarch for psp games and it looks GREAT! But, I get this error each time I run the game. It works if I close th window but how do I address this? Thanks,

Nope! Win 7... Darn thing just stopped working.. Had to delete the setting and restart.

Thanks @SentaiBrad Tried your settings and still would not go into fullscreen. Best I could get was an off centered window version going. I think I am gonna stick to NullDC. The frustration of getting that emulator to run is just not worth it. Hope I can run DemolishFist on NullDc...gonna try soon

Ok... got it working.. 1. Go to your data folder in launchbox and DELETE the bigboxsettings.xml file. 2. restart your machine! Seems to be some damn issue with Direct X being updated on the machine. Friggin' nighmare! Hope this saves someone from headaches!

I hear ya. I am more concerned with just having full screen capability. Nothing is worse than playing a game like Zombie revenge on a windowed 640 x 480 screen with menu bars. Ughhhh

HI, I am unable to get to the bigbox options. I can not go "back" once in bigbox or even see the "options". Can I just reset it to default by deleting a file or something?

Yup. No RL... Just gave up all together and went with NullDC... Works and that's good enough for me. Spent too much time and frustration trying to get that emulator to work. Thanks guys!

Gave up... went with NullDC no issues

now I can get it bigger, but the bars on top hold and when I close it, it goes back to small size

It also crashes all together if I launch it from lauchbox.

Yup. the screen flickers then it goes back to windowed. Grrrr..
