  1. Be sure to download and install autohotkey https://www.autohotkey.com/download/
  2. Create the AHK and put the code I used into it. Be sure to edit your path accordingly. (works same as BAT file but has ahk extension) Go to setting of the game and point Application path to the AHK file. I put the AHK into the game directory itself.
  3. Ah ok, hope an official update will address this someday. If you do come up with a solid workaround please share, thanks for the update.
  4. Hey Retro.. did you ever get this ironed out? Hoping to get marquee image displays fine tuned as you have mentioned.... with use of a static background if a marquee image doesn't exist and the option of having a background static image and being able display clear logo image on top of it.
  5. Hey so I will be importing a full non merged set (221). LB has a nice feature that will allow you to export/move known ROM files to new folder. In doing this it will copy only the roms that LB has in it's database. Out of 35,000 MAME files you will end up with about 2800 to 3000 roms and save yourself a lot of space. ('Working' CHD's will need to be picked manually). The problem is LB will not export/move the clones only parents. Does anyone know a way LB will export/move the clones as well (also known as additional apps). Clones can be useful such as Simpsons 4P and 2P for example.
  6. So... in BigBox settings you can select your default joystick, in my case I have 4 of them and it will cycle through all of them. So this is something @Jason Carr would have to implement I assume. Default settings for InputBindings.xml (does not specify joystick number, only defaults to 1 active controller) <InputBinding> <InputAction>LaunchBoxShowPauseScreen</InputAction> <ControllerHoldBinding>Button7</ControllerHoldBinding> <ControllerBinding>Button10</ControllerBinding> </InputBinding> Need something like this <InputBinding> <InputAction>LaunchBoxShowPauseScreen</InputAction> <ControllerBinding>Joystick2Button9</ControllerBinding> </InputBinding>
  7. Was wondering if there was a way to map any buttons other than from Player1? I ran out of buttons for P1 joystick on my cab and would like to map some buttons from P2 to pause and exit game.... I know I can do a button combo with player 1 but want to use dedicated extra buttons I have from P2. Possibly this could be added easily?
  8. I stopped being lazy and found the solution.. for anyone that might need the info. Just create your own AHK and point to it in launchbox. Run, mario.exe, E:\Super Mario 64 Remaster SleepAmount = 50 WinWaitActive , Super Mario 64 PC-Port Send !{Enter}
  9. The recently released Mario 64 doesn't start in full screen, even if adding the 'fullscreen true' in sm64config.txt. So only way is hitting Alt+Enter. Is there a way to add this to an individual game exe after it is launched? Or a custom AHK script?
  10. be sure to add 'Start' at the beginning of the line or the command prompt window will retain focus on top of whatever game you are loading... atleast for daphne singe. I use RL for regular daphne for the bezels

  15. Arcade Rip Marquees View File Marquee artwork for those with stretch LCD displays. I decided to share my personal collection of arcade rips from TTX, Teknoparrot, etc. I just put all in one zip file as I am not sure how I want to organize yet... games from TTX, RingEdge, RingWide, Lindbergh, Raw Thrills, GlobalVR, etc. There might be a few I need to update that look like ass, also will be adding more as I go along.

  17. Just updated....thankyou sir. I haven't seen the error for awhile now, all looks good!
  18. I ended up switching to Hitari and it works pretty good, no focus issues. I like Steem because it will zoom in the screen to fill your display, also you can set hotkeys. But cannot figure out the focus problem. Will probably try to setup Hitari within RA soon. Thanks for the help!
  19. hello, I know this is an old thread... thanks to proghodot for the video. However when launching games from LB the Atari game comes up but then loses focus behind LB black screen. If I mouse click it I will get the game over dialog and steem will be running in the background. I tried all the different options in the startup screen and no help. Only way is to disable it all together. If anyone knows a way to get it working with the startup screen please share.
  20. I have been updating LB as of late.. before I wasn't seeing this dialog. Notable changes I have done lately is adding marquee artwork for systems under the default folders as well as platform marquees under 'banner'. I have a stretched LCD for my marquee so I have been focusing a lot on this... Retro808 has been a great help getting images displayed correctly on my specific screen size. (Hoping for complete marquee support with image priorities soon!) Not sure if this is causing the error dialog but it only happened since incorporating marquee artwork. Another thing I have done is I removed all background music (found it a little distracting while viewing game preview vids). I'm running Unified theme and only use boxart, logo, disc/cart, and marquee for artwork. So the error pops up in BigBox sometimes when scrolling through lists and also when in attract mode... but BigBox will still run after closing the dialog. (well actually clicking on BB brings focus back and the dialog still remains in background). If I have it happen again I'll see if I can close out the popup while BB is running. Thanks for chiming in.
  21. Anyone know what may be causing this error? I removed all MP3 background music (before this error). It doesn't show up a lot but has been more lately.

    DFend import

    Just wanted to post this method works great for people that might be using Dfend for DosBox, thanks!
  23. I believe I had a couple instances that this has happened awhile back... so I switched sleep to hibernate and it has not happened since. But I can't confirm sleep caused the corruption nor if hibernate fixes it....just so happens it hasn't happened since.
