[Launchbox 'Options' window too large for my display]

Chiming in, as I am also a CRT 800x600 cab owner.   I have finally resorted to an external drive with a portable install of launchbox so I can most of the setup on another machine.    Would appreciate a screen fitting solution tho to stay on my cab tho.   I will keep the dream alive.  :)

[StartUp video on Main Monitor??]

Did a quick test, set LCD as primary (1) and CRT as extended (2) in windows display properties and launched BigBox.    The intro vid played on the LCD.  Then checked BB > general > display settings  and it shows Primary as 1 and Marquee as 2.   Yet, The main menu of BB was on the CRT and the Marquee on the LCD.   Why that is I am not sure, as I would expect in that setting the main display would be the LCD (1) for the test.  

For now, I am setting this one aside as it is only 15 seconds at startup and then the real reason we are here begins, playing games.  

Thanks everyone for your input, I appreciate it.

Good point.   Will give that a go this evening and post back my findings.   Thanks!

Looks like my issue is tied to my hardware.   I have a laptop lcd panel using dvi connector to the Motherboard  GPU and an analog CRT connected to a gtx750ti.   It is setup this way to allow the CRT to be ptimary display.   If i attempt to place both displays on one GPU the LCD panel takes priority as primary without option to force it the other way.

so that is likely why vlc is going to the LCD first and unless i change from CRT to LCD for primary I believe the intro will always play on the marquee.

thats ok as i prefer the CRT for my old school gaming fun.

Yeah it is a windows 7 i5 5th gen box in an arcade cab

The duplicate monitor option is a good thought and would work if I wanted everything mirrored all the time, but alas, just looking for the intro vid to play on the main screen (or both screens) and then return to normal, main display for bigbox and the 2nd monitor for the marquee.   This is how I had Hyperspin setup and it was great.   Unfortunately I had a couple updates run and it messed up HS something good.   I thought I would give LB/BB a go to see how that worked before restoring I prior backup.   

Including a pic of the cab if interested.

Good deal.   It looks cool up there too.  heh

Thanks for the quick response and all the efforts!   I am enjoying launchbox/bigbox so far, still setting it up.   Yet that is all part of the fun.  Thanks!!

The startup video I have plays when I launch bigbox, but it plays on the marquee montor (2) instead of the main monitor (1).  

Is there a way to change this or even better to play on both at same time (just the startup vid)?

I tried to search for the answer, but couldn't find anything about it.  So any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
