I understand what you mean, but my choice for the BigBox frontend was also made because I have so many games from the past that I like to put the key legend in the pause menu, and look at the manual from time to time while playing, I'm doing them all slowly. for now thanks for everything and see you next time. 👍🤗

does not reappear, I am forced to force the closure of everything all dos games behave the same --------------- I won't talk about my cabinets because unfortunately they reside in another, larger house and I haven't been there for several months, I'll tell you about my current setup which corresponds to a work desk where I have a fixed desktop PC with nvidia 2060 to which 3 monitors are connected (always physically connected by cable) - two monitors in displayport ports are used when I am sitting at my desk (wall 1) , Windows detects these monitors ID1 and ID3 - one LG C1 TV in hdmi port with 2.1 cable which I use when I want to relax from the sofa (wall wall 2), Windows detects this monitor(TV) with ID2 Then the procedure takes place that with the combination WIN+P I call up the Windows DisplaySwitch manager and switch from the two-monitor+LaunchBox configuration (if I'm sitting at my desk), to the TV+BigBox configuration (if I want to use the sofa), this activation I always do before starting the frontend and therefore before starting any game, the profiles I use are the default Windows ones and namely 1) PC Screen Only = Monitor 1 2) Duplicate = Do not use 3) Extend = Monitor 1 and Monitor 3 4) Second Screen Only = Monitor 2 (TV) Concerning the use of bezels the problems that arise are the same with all profiles and I think they are very much related to other posts I have already published to which no one can give me an answer and to which I have found my own temporary solution that I want to show you, I think the problem is how LB and BB handle the activation of windows and monitors according to certain types of emulators, including the pause window I have no problem whatsoever with Mame and Retroarch ReshadeManager works very well in 90% of cases Now I'll give you an example where I had a similar problem to ours, and which I had already indicated in this post, I'm talking about HypseusSinge, it in the latest version has a bezel implementation which I use regularly, this is an example launcher for Space Ace hypseus.exe sae vldp -framefile vldp_dl\ace\ace.txt -fullscreen -bank 1 01100111 -bank 0 10011000 -volume_nonvldp 5 -volume_vldp 20 -force_aspect_ratio -bezel /daphne/v1/ace.png What happened was very similar to our DosBox, i.e. the first start works perfectly, but when I then exit the game, go to play another game, e.g. MAME, and then exit and restart a HypseusSinge game again, it happens that the window of BigBox or LaunchBox remains blocked in front and the game underneath I can hear it but I can't see it, I am forced to force the closure of BigBox, this is a similar thing that happens with your plugin, when the game screen turns black I can no longer do anything, I am forced to terminate everything. One of the solutions I had found was to activate the function in the general options of Launchbox that minimises the frontend when the emulator starts up, but it partially solved the problem, in the sense that if I went to pause and returned to the game, the problem recurred In the end, while waiting for the official Launchbox fixes, I decided to create a script with the help of chatgpt which I have to say works very well with all the emulators I decided to associate it with, keep in mind that it starts when Hypseus starts and closes when Hypseus exits so it's not resident in memory all the time, I'm telling you this so you can understand that it can't be him creating conflicts, I'll put it below, what it does is force the frontend to continue to minimise if the emulator window is active, you only need to enter the class of the emulator window, in this case it is SDL_app, and if you want you can enter the executable that will be closed when the game exits, this is for extra security, the script needs to be started when the emulator starts and will be closed automatically when the game closes. The script also takes into account the pause menu, the window is "Launchbox Pause Screen", the script pauses for safety at that moment. Here it is: HYPSEUS-Script_di_Automazione_per_LB_e_BB-_CLASSES.ahk With this script HypseusSinge no longer has problems displaying the bezels, it does not lose the bezel after returning from the pause menu, and it always works even when I use other games like mame or pcgames and then decide to restart another hypseus game. Using this script if you replace the class and put WinClass_Main := "MYWIN" you can also use it with Model2Emulator, to me it solved many problems, important is also to terminate the process on exit because often this emulator leaves more executables in memory (to find the class of the emulator's main window I use AutoIt (Au3Info.exe) ) Unfortunately I tried this script with DosBox and your plugin but it doesn't seem to have any effect, but I tried to give you an overview of my situation. I'd like to add that lately I've also been using the fantastic "SingleIstance" script, which avoids that annoying bug that sometimes starts two instances of some emulators. this is because BigBox intercepts (and shouldn't) the joystick buttons during the game (it never happens with Retroarch, but again it only happens with those types of emulators) https://www.dcmembers.com/skrommel/download/singleinstance/ etc..etc,,

when returning from pause monitor 2 becomes monitor 1 🤔 I see all the icons of monitor 1 on monitor 2, the bezel remains but the game is dark black screen. My two monitors are not the same and have different refresh rates, in any case I have no problems with other games or emulators that use bezels or overlays... this is just to inform you. I don't know if it helps

hi 🫡 I'll update you on the tests With this configuration, it seemed to work fine at first, but after several times of going in and out of pause, the game started to slow down and stutter, also sometimes the taskbar appears. With the second monitor switched on, the game when returning from break disappears and only the bezel remains

Perfect. it works now. I had forgotten the damned 8-character maxims in dos 🤪
