Can you provide an image of what you are seeing? You are logging in with the ID you use to log into Epic with correct?

@4monty The beta does not need to be deleted. Just need to make sure to uncheck the box for "Automatically Download Updates in Background". No matter how many installers you have in your updates folder you can revert to any version and use it without LB trying to update to a more current one in your folder if you have that unchecked.

Not sure what version you are on. However, the issue seems to be a timeout issue if you are also downloading from Emumovies. If memory serves me correct I believe there is a 15 minute or so timeout involving EmuMovies API. So until something is figured out the work around is to either uncheck downloading media from Emumovies or run it in chunks of say 500 games at a time. This is likely because you only had one game selected. You have to select all the games you want to download the media for. That option is not a general one that runs the downloader for all games if you select it. So you either go to a specific platform and select all the games or you can be in the All Games view and choose you full library.

Also if you have videos we know some .flv file types has caused issues when in BB is in attract mode. So I would remove those.

@keithhov I would test removing the entire folder of one image type and test. So maybe remove the marquee image folders (do not delete just move out of LB amd them test. If it crashes put the marquee images back and move the clear logos out and test. This way you can tell which image types might be the culprit. I run this same theme on one build and it has no issues on new LB build. Attract mode has been known to have issues when a user’s build has a bad video file or image file. So likely issue is a bad image as you mentioned.

Easiest thing to do is open Mame directly and map that same button/key combo in Mame. I believe it will ne fore the option “Cancel UI”

To add the license is easy. Take the license.xml file you were sent in the email when you purchased the license and drop it into your \Launchbox folder.

Launch the game and then hit tab to go to the Mame settings menu. Choose the option for Inputs This Machine and see if by chance the bindings for those option are different than what you set.

Retroarch you can. LB does not care what the rom extension is, but if you try to import non-arcade roms using Mame as the emulator it will not work. Especially things like NES games. Can you share pics of your Associated Platforms tab for Mame in LB Manage Emulators. You may be missing the platform name and command lines needed to run consoles. If you should happen to be using software list for those consoles there is a plugin made by one of our forum members that will work. Did these roms come from the CoinOps you were using?

I am sure it is some stupid Windows thing. Just to confirm though, all my builds over the years have been Windows 10 with both Nvidia and Ryzen cards. The pc I have used for the past 4 years for all my testing its update history shows a May 2020 update had been done and never had this issue. I have always set the second screen above, unless I was building a Virtual Pin cabinet. So I am curious as to the cause some users have this issue. I have definitely experienced the scaling issues you mentioned though.

Double check in BigBox mapping option that you have your exit combo set for the option listed as "Close Active Window"

This is interesting. My 3 cabinets work regardless of marquee screen position. Good to know this worked for @Benjc. Another option to try when troubleshooting anyone with a similar issue.

I did not think it would, but at least we confirmed. Yeah, it looks like BB is not even seeing the screen is there as usually the marquee would be black if nothing was showing an cover that lovely color you used. What model is that marquee screen?

@Benjc can you try this xaml. Just place it in the CoinOps themes \Views folder and see if anything shows up. This is just edited to work with cut screen that some users had the marquee image showing cut off. Can you share a pic of what your screens look like when in a BigBox theme before testing this xaml? GameMarqueeView.xaml

LB actually does not need a marquee view xaml. All themes that may not have the PlatformMarqueeView.xaml or GameMarqueeView.xaml present in the views should still show marquees due to how BigBox is coded. So you have the same marquee screen type as the OP and it is the same resolution? If you remove those xaml files the marquee does not show for you?

Can you try setting the marquee to a 720 resolution @ 60Hz and see if any change? @C-Beats I doubt he is using a custom marquee view unless he created one. there are not any theme's posted that have custom marquee xaml's.

Probably Emumovies. I do not see it in the media from the LaunchBox Game DB.

Since we seem to have not properly comprehended my request to let it rest and I have been respectful I think enough is enough. Time to lock thread. @KoritsuKyu Glad it is a viable option for you for now. Any issues related to this topic that might come up please start a new thread.

I think we have started down that slippery slope. So let's just squash any more posts not related to the actual question the OP had. All that is going to keep happening is more back and forth. So let's move on. @KoritsuKyu If the option I mentioned works for you and you are sorted then glad you have what you need. If not, start a new thread and we can go from there

@Pixel As mentioned in my prior post anything more is not helpful and will be deleted. So I deleted your last post. Please let it be in this thread and I request again you make a separate thread. I am being as respectful as I can.

I recommend if you want to continue with your specific request open a new thread and start there. Any more on the subject in this thread is not helpful and will be deleted. Not trying to discount your specific need. It would just be better served in its own thread getting feedback there instead of derailing this one.

I have used these cut monitors on numerous builds and currently have them in 2 cabinets now. I have not seen where primary is listed as 2 and marquee as 1. They have all been 1 as primary. Only time I had an issue was when DPI scaling was different for each monitor. The marquee was not showing up on one of those builds. I would also double check the Hz on the marquee. Some times the monitors I would get are set to 55Hz and would not show the marquee.

Here is a thread that might be helpful. It does not look like it is a perfect option. However, maybe it can get you going in the right direction.

For your specific use I can completely understand this would not be the best way to handle your needs. However, it is a user friendly solution in many use cases and might be for the original poster. I know for my use it is as I am not the kind of person who has thousands of additional apps. Only those necessary to allow me to enjoy my games. So while I do hope some day our devs can put something more suitable in place for how you use LB/BB and I can see how a different option would be very helpful for how you manage your set-up. I would hope you can see it is not helpful to come to this post and just discount a viable option that might be useful for this user and many others.

If they are all in pdf format you can add them as additional apps. These will even show up in the Pause Menu of the LB Pause Themes.
