yes will do, think i am going to do some testing... Main thing is, if you are saying Favs wont save with it read only then its a non starter anyway as that is essential
-
Hmm ok thanks - so, what if i kept all as read only apart from the file which stores the adding of favourited games? - I don't give a monkies about play time or anything else being stored
-
ok so for clarity - if i read only the data folder i would no longer be able to add and remove favourites. thats annoying. Any other repercussions other than that?
-
If i were to tag the DATA folder as Read only, what implications could arrise from doing so?.... Note, i wont be adding any new systems, games to the build. Would it impact adding / removing favourite games within various systems?
cheers

Thanks Garrett! what a handy thread, also solves my need to remove the date/ time also! Great

Hmm - i did a VB5 course back at college.........

Hi guys - I am using unified - is it possible to stop the Top systems wheel from fading out after leaving the joystick for a few seconds? i want it to remain on the screen. Have looked through a few of the bigbox settings and cant seem to find it.
thanks

Ah a reply! - thanks for that, it is the road i went down actually in the end and works fine...

Sure. With some help over at the Sinden Discord (they're very helpful) here is what I have. It IS working, with 1 exception. For games that require DemulShooter. For those games I have (2) Additional Apps...(1) that launches DemulShooter with the correct parameters for that particular game and (2) this AHK which laounches the (2) instances of Sinden software.
#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
#SingleInstance force;AHK Script to Launch Sinden P1 & P2 prior to game/rom launch

ExitAppUsing this script when in Bigbox it puts bigbox out of focus, so if on an arcade machine you are stuck and need to ALT +TAB back to Bigbox.. Tried adding an ALT TAB type line but gave an error. Any idea?

ExitAppHey Piper. Not sure if youll get this but this is exactly what ive been looking for. One question, the first additional app above to launch Demul shooter. I cant see anything here that closes it afterward? So if you jumped from hotd, to vc1, to vc2 would t you start to build up multiple instances?

Hi guys - so i have added the sinden light gun software to start as an additional program, however i need it to be stopped once i end the game or every gun game i then go on to load tries to add another instance of lightgun.exe and bigbox loses focus, breaking the cab. Thanks all
-
an update - So i had to use the Sinden Mame bezels which had built in sinden borders.. now all my mame games are perfect.. however, tackling Sega model 2 and suprise suprise, whenever it is loaded through there the border stays behind the game and not seen. But when i load say House of the deaddirectly through sega model 2, outside of launchbox, when i press the sinden border button it overlays nicely on top!!.... Its obviously a LB issue somewhere but i cannot see where
-
More info for you - its Launchbox / Bigbox causing this. I have just tested Area 51 in mame totally outside of LB / BB and the border appeared fine.
Any ideas guys??
-
Hi guys - testing a pair of sindens and when i load bigbox, then say Area 51 in Mame it loads fine, however when i press the border button on the gun it looks like it isnt working. When in fact it is working if i alt tab out it is clearly there surrounding the desktop... How do i get it to appear on top of everything?? Does anyone know? - thanks very much
Edit: All my games are in 4:3 ratio and the borders are filled with the bezel packs (if that makes a difference)
-
Wow thanks Neil - a very new addition from December eh!!. Awesome thanks again
-
hi all - as above - is this possible? Say I wanted to turn my PC on and it goes straight to Windows > Bigbox > Bubble bobble (arcade)
thanks
-
Ah ok i will give it a go and see how i get on... Thanks
-
hi Guys - I need to make a 4:3 build of bigbox. Currently using 16:9 on a 27" widescreen and the unify theme.
Along with removing all bezels for all systems do we have 4:3 videos etc available?
Thanks

Hi guys - when i press ESC to finish Star wars trilogy on the SM3 emulator it comes back to bigbox but i can tell its lost focus as nothing works. Any idea how to get it to return?.. I need to get the keyboard out and ALT+TAB back to bigbox.
thanks
Dave

Hi nohero. Its being looked into over on the pcsx forums.
But do you mean the latest 1.6 pcsx2 build? Ive done that. And not modified anything. And used the europe bios, Just wont run. Tried DDU drivers, repairing directx redist.... I have a feeling a complete windows 10 reinstall is looming

Transfer arcade high scores and system favs?
in Troubleshooting

Hey guys. I have a back up of my 3TB build for obvious reasons. If i implement this build on a machine for my son for his birthday how do i :
1) keep the same favourites that have been added throughout all the systems within the main wheel? (Do i just copy the entire Data folder over to the back up?)
2) how do i transfer over the arcade high scores that we have battled against on the main house cabinet?
thanks alot
