Lock Computer View File Overview This will Lock Computer / Lock your screen and Leave Big Box or LaunchBox Running. Instructions Unzip LockComputer into your Plugins Folder in Launchbox What it does Adds Lock Computer to the Main root menu in Big Box Adds Lock Computer to the Tools Menu in Launchbox Submitter NJDave71 Submitted 05/16/2017 Category Third-party Apps and Plugins  

That Feature exists in Big Box. the Main menu has "Shut Down" Item

That is what it's suppose to do. take you back to the main Welcome screen in windows. For example I have three accounts Admin Kids Arcade - Used for Big Box only when I am done with BigBox I click on Sign out and it allows someone else to login Hope that answers your question?

Try Downloading the zip version and putting that in the Plugin Folder. post your status.

Try the attached file it the same file just zipped windows security blocks these files. 1. Right click the SignOut.dll and click on Properties. 2. Click on the General tab, check the Unblock box at the bottom, and click/tap on OK. SignOut.zip

I have that set to not show when it's locked This might be a bug in the plugin Library. Thank u for bring that to my attention.

I made that setting false but I can check a bit later. thank u for that suggestion.

That already exists in BigBox (Exit, Shutdown, Restart). The ability to Log Off was not an option. I apologize but I am not sure what you mean by "secure mode."

I will have to join the festivities tomorrow. perhaps I should jump into the developers pool. plugins are really powerful so let's watch master Jason make a plugins. having this be a button map makes sense to me in BB.

Jason can you add a sign out option to bigbox and add allow key mapping. I have a profile just for bigbox. also is there a favorites option in bigbox that we can favorite a game like we can in launchbox.

You have cut the load time in half. Awesome. But you might want to add a check to see if the startup video is still playing to allow it to complete before displaying UI or pressing a any Key to go right to the UI. Glad i was able to watch the live stream today.

MAME, Visual Pinball and Daphne. Occasionally (SMS, NES). The Coin box works as well. giant Piggy bank

my custom Arcade With controller during the build.

I built a Arcade controller in 2005 and used an IPAC2 PS/2 i built it as 1 Player (should have gone bigger). Wiring was fun and I hope you kept yours clean. 20 Happ Buttons ( 4 dedicated pinball) 1 Happ 8 way controller / Rotary (Heavy barrel, Ikari Warriors) 1 Happ 4way Controller Happ Trackball Tornado Spinner Playing Arcade Games with a Game Pad is not the same.

The only issue I have with LB/BB is that it takes 20 seconds for it load the UI. most of the load time is the building the games db. windows 10 boots up in 7 seconds from cold boot up. Can you optimize Big Box so can load quicker. I have had issue with videos playing on games that i am skipping when navigating that has gotten better. I prefer to do all configuration in LB.

nice build. what did you use for your Controller interface?

Great to know it's not my machine. I will review the tips. Thx

That topic was closed due to people venting. Anyway. Once the program loads i am fine it's just the initial startup. I understand that this is on the list. thanks
