  1. 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

  2. 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

    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

    Run, "C:\Sinden Lightgun\Sinden Gun 1P\SindenLightgunWindowsSoftwareV1.04\SindenLightgun\Lightgun.exe" -autostart,, Minimize, pid1
    sleep 100
    Run, "C:\Sinden Lightgun\Sinden Gun 2P\SindenLightgunWindowsSoftwareV1.04\SindenLightgun\Lightgun.exe" -autostart,, Minimize, pid2


    ~ESC::
    Process, Close, %pid1%
    Process, Close, %pid2%
    ExitApp

     

     

    Using 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?

    Hey 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? 

  5. 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 :(

     

  6. 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) 

  7. 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
