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.
-
Yes, and its not with all games. Only the TeknoParrot games that have a big switch in resolution. Everything works great playing the game, just exiting will bring your main display onto the marquee display.

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

Same issue for me as well. Heck sometimes I will exit the game and the launchbox magically on the marquee display. You have to Windows Key + Shift + Arrow left or right to fix it.

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?

Well isn't that some shit. New MAME with renamed root folder so Launchbox couldn't find the game. Too bad LaunchBox doesn't give a prompt that the game isn't there as it does when the emulator isn't there. Would have saved me some headache.

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

yep, it was the "-batch" that worked
Thank You

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.

Yep, a third party plugin called Multi Monitor 2022. Deleted that and the problem is gone. Now it's time to pick all my hair up off the floor and glue it back on my head. Appreciate it.

Here is a video of my problem:

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.

There is no Platform or Playlist Marquee Video folder. So there is not built in support for marquee videos for platforms or playlists. You would have to code a custom platform marquee view to do this.
Okay, thats what I figured. Thank you for the clarification.

Is Dynamic Marquee supported for viewing in the platform or playlist sections? It works great when your in the selected platforms but I would like to put a video marquee in the sub menu's i.e. platforms and playlists. Was this added? If so, where do the video marquees go?
-
Nevermind, I just figured it out. Your modified .xml worked. I had the marquee settings in BigBox set to ignore. I unchecked those boxes then it went full screen.
-
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.

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
-
The only reason I use it is for Naomi 2 and the Demul emulator. RL allows customized controls per game w/ Demul which is a must until the Flycast core in RetroArch is compatible with Naomi 2.
-
....or you can just go with the Ipac Ultimate which has the LED controller built in which is very convenient

This needs to be added along with 3rd monitor support @Jason Carr
Agreed!

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.
-
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.

I have asked about this before and never got a response. I as well miss that from Hyperspin along with adding sound bites for entering a system and exiting a system. When going into the SNES menu you hear mario collection a coin and exiting the SNES menu you hear mario losing a life. It's the little things.
-
So how do you get these to work in BigBox? Does BigBox support video playback for marquees?
