Dyspare Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) I am not getting marqees to work. The system marquees show when on platforms, but sega genesis, which i have loaded in, does not show anything except a black screen. What should the folder name and loacation be, that the images go in? Currently in ...\LaunchBox\Images\Sega Genesis\Arcade - Marquee I just tried to change the folder name from Arcade - Marquee to Genesis - Marquee, and changes the option in launchbox so the directory pointed to that file instead of Arcade - Marquee. Lke you instructed another person. but im still getting nothing on my marquee screen. which is simply a sceond monitor sitting to the right of the first.

Jason Carr Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Hi @Dyspare, this is a known issue with the latest version that I will be fixing this coming week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 One thing to note, it may only be happening with certain themes. I haven't dived in too deep yet to figure out what the culprit is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Are you talking about HyperMarquee or BigBox's built-in marquee support? I think the prior post that member got marquees working in BigBox native support since he mentioned they are working by romname and that is part of how BigBox marquee support works For the BigBox built in version: To get marquee images to show in BigBox you only need to do a few things really. 1. Make sure in BigBox you have the setting showing which of your monitors is the marquee. 2. Place any marquee images you are using in either the Arcade-Marquee folder for the game rom marquees or in the Banner folder for the platform and platform category marquees. Game marquess should be named as the games are and your platform and platform category marquees need to be named as those are named in your set-up. 3. Launch BigBox, refresh the cache to be safe, and your images should show up on you marquee monitor.

The Marquee I am interested in is the one that can be shown on MAME. I know that Mame has .lay files but I was wondering if Hypermarquee could show MAME marquees on games like 10yard or Bezerk without having tohave the marquee in the .lay file.

Retro808 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Hopefully one of our more experienced members can chime in. I have never really messed with Mame's marquee set-up since BigBox does what I need. BigBox will keep the marquee displayed even when a game is launched so when that got implemented a while back I stopped messing with anything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latin625 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Thanks, The problem I have is the MAME games. The Marquee goes away in Bigbox when the game is launched. Only MAME does this and a few PC games like Mortal Kombat Komplete. The MAME .lay files can address this but most are not loaded with Marquees, only a few. Mr. Do's website has a few, but I was hoping to have a complete set via HyperMarquee. Looking into some other possible solutions. Thanks again.

Retro808 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Hmmm. I wonder what is causing that. I use only what BigBox does and the marquees stay for me. For reference I am using Mame 0.189 (command line verion). But this has worked with other version of Mame as well as MameUI versions. I do not think I really changed any settings in Mame. I know it is set to only 1 monitor even though my set-up is a triple monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latin625 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) ... Interesting... I have mine set to TWO monitors. But that is because of games like PunchOut. Ima try setting it to one and see. Question, so you have PUNCHOUT? if so, when you play it you get both screens? The upper one with the Power gauge and the lower one with the ring?

I have games like PunchOut and PlayChoice showing on one monitor in over-under fashion. It was causing too many issues using two monitors with how I have everything set-up with other systems so I switched it. With Mame set to use 2 monitors BigBox likely does not have a resource to show the marquee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latin625 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Yeah... Just tried it... no joy. Ill keep looking and hoping someone on the board has a solution. Really need the second monitor to show either the Marquee or the second game screen like the originals (punchout 2 two screens,over and under) . Thanks!!!

Retro808 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 @latin625 Which Mame are you using? Maybe I can try the one you are using and compare to what I use to see if something is different in the settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latin625 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Thanks, I am using MAME 1.92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just downloaded a fresh Mame 192 and no issues with the marquees showing without tweaking any settings. Are you running Mame through BigBox direct or through RocketLauncher?

latin625 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 GOT IT WORKING IN ROCKETLAUNCHER! Well.. sort of.. lol. Attached is the screenshot of the missing piece. my problem was that I wanted to show a bezel and then have rocketlauncher also handle the Marquee. This is possible, OUTSIDE of mame. Haven't sorted out the marquee part but have sorted out the bezel. Thanks for the push in thinking about this a little more and the back and forth. Ima keep pluggin away for another hour or so and see i can sort out the marquee too. Maybe this can help others that use two monitors as RL allows for you to customize each game to your preference with some being two montiors and other only one and displaying a Marquee on the other.

Retro808 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Hey some progress for you at least. I only recently started learning RocketLauncher, but I do have it set up for Mame and 2 other systems. So I can confirm that running Mame through RocketLauncher in BigBox the marquees still show up when the game is launched. I am also using RLs bezels and fade screens. Even if I bulk edit the roms and change the default emulator to Mame the marquees still show when a game is launched. RL has some cool features but it is irritating as heck to work with. Things will randomly stop working, but if I shutdown the pc and reboot they work again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latin625 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) Thanks again!!!! I might come back and ask again, if I cant get the marquee to show up through RL. You run the Marquees through BB and NOT RL, yes? Edited January 2, 2018 by latin625 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
