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.

Just updated....thankyou sir. I haven't seen the error for awhile now, all looks good!

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!

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.

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.

Thanks for the heads up Jason

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.

Just wanted to post this method works great for people that might be using Dfend for DosBox, thanks!

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.

Perfect.. thankyou!

I'm not at all familiar with the Taito launcher. So from your pic it shows teknoparrot for your emulator.... there are a couple threads on here about setting up teknoparrot. You need to point to your TP profile xml files as the roms. Configure your TP as in the pic below. For some other TypeX games you might not need TP... but will launch directly from the EXE, just depends on the game and which version you have. Basically I had to configure most TP and TypeX games individually.

well yah that's the risk of pre-configured drives, I would suggest take a look at the many video tutorials for setting up systems on launchbox. I would try doing 1 system to get the hang of it. Explore your drive to see the folder structure of where everything is.. roms, media, etc. Most likely you have a hyperspin folder and a Launchbox folder. Start launchbox and look at the top right corner, is your name displayed as the licensed user? Anyhow l would start with some tutorial videos on setting up a system, once you get it down then it should be pretty straightforward on how to make it work right.

Hello Arzoo, it's been a couple years since using your app.. Finally got my whole system transferred over from Hyperspin to BB. I have 2 questions.. I still have LED blinky 6.5, to upgrade to latest just drop system and exe files into existing folder? Also back in the HS days we had to rename any MAME collections with the word MAME in it for LED blinky to see the button configs. (Atari Classics MAME, Capcom Classics MAME, etc...) Is this still required?

OK will keep an eye out for that release, much appreciated. Something I noticed was if there is no marquee image BB will display the boxart in my case... something to do with the image priorities, for now maybe I can put just a clear logo.. will play around with it.

I got mine from Alibaba.com.. lots of Chinese vendors. But ebay has some from vitrolight - https://www.ebay.com/str/vitrolightlcdmodulestore

I actually built this a couple years ago.. got the design from chanceKJ's Flynn cabinet from arcadecontrols forum. I was running Hyperspin with HyperMarquee and LED Blinky but have fully switched to BB. Will be reskinning the cabinet soon with a new graphics theme. Using eclipse style RGB buttons from paradise arcades, also has cabinet RGB's in back, under CP, and at the bottom of the cab all controlled by a PacLED64. Obviously it runs a PC... but also a RaspberryPi with a USB hub switch to be able to use the same 4 player controls for each system. Has 2 Aimtracks with recoil and a Xbox360 controller receiver and Dolphin bar for all the console games that play better with a gamepad/wii-mote. Something about personal arcades, seems I spend more time adding and tweaking than actually playing!

Nice so you figured it out.. whenever you have time if you could share the code/steps to do this that would be great!

cool, another scenario would be platforms that don't have any marquees for each game. Lets say OpenBor (I know a set has been done recently though)… in the gamelist it would make sense just to have a permanent marquee display of the platform you are viewing. Also I know we talked about this awhile ago... being able to display the clear logo of the game on top of the default platform marquee image but I don't think that ever got implemented. (Hypermarquee/EDS does this... MUGEN below as example). With that being said I would settle for a default platform image.

yup works great... so what do you do for missing marquees in MAME, is there a way to have a default placeholder marquee image, in this case the platform marquee image MAME like in this example pic below.

Quick question... for PlatformMarqueeView.xaml, I assume its the same exact code?

YES!! Thanks for the help... I wouldn't of been able to figure this out. Will keep testing different size images and see how it looks but so far so good! Next up.... LED blinky!

Ok I placed the original SF Alpha image back.... the "fill' tag actually does fill in the sides as pic shows below.

Changed to 'Fill'... no changes. For the SF Alpha I simply resized the image to same size as SF CE. As you know the MAME marquess out there are all kinds of different sizes and resolutions so that will take some time to sort out but hoping LB can get by for now with marquee image display.

Ok getting closer, as you can see in the pics the bottom is slightly cut off. Then also the SF Alpha marque isn't filled in horizontally like the SF CE one.
