  1. In Launchbox, start game and screen goes black while loading, then game starts behind blank screen. Must go to taskbar and click on game to bring it to the front. Game starts fine out of LaunchBox. Tried all startup options. All other PC games start fine. Any ideas? 

     

    Thanks

     

    FYI....Steam version of this game does not play nice with startup themes. The gog version of this game works just fine.

  2. This plugin has been a lifesaver. Thank you for what you do!

    Quick question. I noticed the resolution for my main & marquee monitor is set to 2560 X 1440 even though both displayes are 3840 X 2160. Does this make a difference and if so is there a way to change that?

    Also, still having the issue in TeknoParrot with BigBox shifting to the marquee screen upon exiting at which I just (Windows key + shift + left or right aarow) and it moves over to the primary display.

    I'm on the updated version of 4.0.0

  3. Highlighting entire collection in LaunchBox to download "Fanart-Background" from LaunchBox database not working but can download by editing a single game.

    EmuMovies doesn't have the option to download "Fanart-Background" with highlighting entire collection in LaunchBox but the option is there by editing a single game.

    I have access to EmuMovies FTP but don't see anywhere in there to download "Fanart-Background".

    Anybody know where I can find it?

  4. As the title states:

    All other cores work fine. Launch anything  Retroarch MAME core related in LaunchBox/BigBox just kicks me back to the launch screen

    Open Retroarch w/ mame core outside of LunchBox/BigBox and games work fine

    Boot with MAME 0.258 in LaunchBox/BigBox and games work fine

    Anything Retroarch mame core related is not working from within Launch Box/BigBox for some reason

    Freshly downloaded mame 0.258 merged romset

    Can't figure this one out

  5. The default running script for the current PCSX2 (1.7.4207) no longer works which is:

     

    ; This section closes PCSX2 when pressing Escape
    $Esc::
    {
        WinClose, ahk_exe {{{StartupEXE}}}
    }

     

    When ESC is pressed to exit, the game closes with the PCSX2 emulator game selection screen left open on top of BigBox which stops BigBox. Pressing ESC a second time is required to close the emulator so BigBox can continue. I tried an alt + F4 script and that doesn't work either. Is there a script that will close the game and the emulator at the same time? Thanks for the help.

     

     

     

     

  6. I never noticed this feature before and maybe it is new. In LaunchBox (not BigBox) when I perform a single left mouse click on any game in brings up fullscreen artwork. Double clicking a game starts a game as it normally should. This fullscreen artwork coming up is annoying and I don't remember enabling this. Is there anyway to disable this? I've looked and don't see anything. Thanks in advance for the help.

  7. So I have a cabinet with dual 50" monitors and the top monitor displaying marquees. I love the way the themed videos play on the top screen while the game is being played on the bottom screen. The only gripe I have is the themed videos on the top are not fully stretched as they are 1440 X 1080. Is there anyway to stretch the video to 1920 X 1080? I have switched the resolution in the .xml settings with no luck.

  8. Big 4 Player Arcade Cabinet Names:

    MegaCade-TAKEN

    UltraCade-TAKEN

    DreamCade-TAKEN

    UtmostCade-AVAILABLE

     

    I was shopping around for a large 4 player arcade cabinet and figured why not build it myself. Got a friend that owns a CNC shop and a graphics design shop. Those two shops together is the perfect recipe for a crazy arcade cabinet. Here is what I'm starting with:

    • 4 Player Standup Cabinet
    • Dual 50" 4K Displays
    • Typical Button Layouts (Player 1&2-8 Button Player 3&4-4 Buttons)
    • RGB Trackball, 4-Way Joystick, Spinner & Flight Stick
    • Elgato Stream Deck Mini With Possible 7" LCD screen build into the Control Panel to mimic marquee display
    • Custom Cut Soundbar for any soundbar I choose to use. Soundbars also come with wireless subwoofers that can go in the cabinet or anywhere in the room  - Pic included
    • Cutout at the bottom for acrylic window to view inside PC or hamster cage
    • Another cutout at the very bottom for window and additional LED lights
    • Hollow T-Molding to insert LED's

    Suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated

    Exactly this

    Unfortunately, BigBox as of right now does NOT support this. I was notified by Jason Carr that this has not been implemented and will be in the next poll. I for one have built two arcades with LCD marquees for active marquee playback. I will switch both these arcade cabinets back to Hyperspin to utilize Hyper Marquee and keep LaunchBox on my pedestal.

  10. So I see the active marquee side of things is really stating to catch on with products like Pixelcade and the long running Hyper Marquee for Hyperspin. People are buying Virtolight LCD's and implementing them into there cabinets/bartops. Now if anybody has seen these active marquees with animations know how awesome it is. Seeing the Mortal Kombat XL marquee with the active torches in the background flickering was jaw dropping.

     

    Question: Does LaunchBox/BigBox have any plans on integrating anything like Hyper Marquee to cater to this growing market? I understand that BigBox has marquee support for static images of which I'm using myself. These new active marquees is an entirely  new animal. Even support for MP4 playback for marquees would work.
