I don't want it to be a UI replacement for windows, I just want to simply access the Windows taskbar without having to close the program like I can with every other single program and app on my computer.
Thanks for the tutorial but it seems crazy that such a simple thing as being able to access your taskbar is not possible. I think I will have to go back to just using the basic MAME UI as with that I can switch seemlessly between it and everything else on my computer with my DS4 controller's touchpad acting like a mouse using DS4Windows.
Here is a screenshot of me using normal MAME UI to launch games which also allows access to my taskbar at the bottom so I can run other apps/programs like Sky TV player as seen in the screenshot without having to close the MAME UI first.
^ This is what I want ^
I would use the standard launchbox mode as that runs in a window fine so allows access to my taskbar but the search function is terrible. You can't even search game by letter like you can in bigbox mode so it takes forever to scroll through 4000 games.
So disappointing as bigbox seems great appart from this big (for me at least) problem.
