Yeah I get it...I'm a main developer for a freeware program called xLights with several thousand users so I'm used to getting bug reports and know how these things go. Not a big deal just wanted to report it. By the way you can skip the first 20 seconds where it's just the Big Box loading title. I should have trimmed it off but didn't realize how long it was. Here's my video: Selection Issue

Ok just caught it on video...let me get it edited and upload a link. I guess I'm just selecting too fast. I'm scrolling with the joystick and it lands on the name I want then I hit the select button. I notice it initially flashes the name of the game just before the rom I selected so in the video I select Robotron but it initially display Rock Climber's info. It loaded the Robotron marquee which will not be in the video and it loaded the Rock Climber ROM. When I exit the game you'll see it's on the Robotron entry.

Are you using Big Box? Something I saw you say made me think you were mainly using LaunchBox so are you sure it fixed it in both programs? I can tell you I'm positive it did not. I've been developing software for over 30 years when I report something it's not imaginary.

Still not fixed in v8.3 of Big Box. I scrolled down to "T" then selected Tempest. When I hit Play Game it loaded the correct Tempest marquee but the ROM it loaded began with an "S". I exited the game and re-entered and then Tempest came up.

Well I hope the same fix works for what I saw. Sounds like are running LaunchBox but I'm having the wrong rom launched in Big Box so there is no double-click action unless hitting enter to see game info and enter again to play the game looks like a double-click.

Fair enough. I only saw it happen when running the Arcade platform but the only other platform I have running is Daphne which doesn't have that many games so the page never scrolls. Still curious about the joystick navigation.

I've got everything setup and running this past week. I'm using a cabinet so I'm running Big Box. I love the joystick navigation for selection a platform and then scrolling through the games. Hitting left to bring up the letters, scroll around, then right to select the letter. I keep finding myself wanting to press right on the joystick to select the game and then right to play the game. Is there any way to configure that? Just seems awkward every time you need to switch from the joystick to an enter button for basic navigation. If I'm in the game info screen hitting left on the joystick should back me back out. I'm just too new to know if this is already possible. If not then I can add a feature request. There is also a bug in the MAME platform where a lot of times it picks the incorrect rom. I select a game and see the correct artwork and then hit play game and the wrong game comes up. If I exit out of the game and then hit play game again then it plays the correct game. It always seems to be a rom that is close in name like one or two positions away so it feels like its not keeping up with the navigation like I scroll down the games list real fast and then select a game and it still thinks I'm on a rom one or two positions away. I'm using RocketLauncher so the fact that when I exit and restart the right game comes up tells me it's not a rocketlauncher issue it's what's being fed to rocketlauncher that's wrong.
