craiganderson Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Does LaunchBox have the ability to control a second monitor? For example, have a second monitor display an image of how the controls are set up for the system that is currently being played. Thanks in advance.

SentaiBrad Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 LaunchBox doesn't, but Big Box does. The Marquee stuff is really flexible in that regard. I think someone would need to make a theme to really take advantage of it, but I'm not sure anyone has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SentaiBrad Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Well the Marquee stuff isn't set up like that. The Marquee feature can do some cool things out of the box, but not this specifically. Someone would have to build on those functions in a theme more than likely. I know Jason designed the Marquee to be flexible, so you might be able to do it as is with images, but there isn't a direct way to do this. In LaunchBox you could use additional apps to load an image before booting your game, but that's also not exactly what you're after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craiganderson Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 What about in big box? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks What @SentaiBrad mentioned is the capabilities are there to show a controller type image on a second (marquee) display but it is something someone who can make a theme for BigBox would need to have the theme specifically dictate that the controller image be displayed on the second screen. Right now most themes will display an image on a second screen but it is typically an image from the /banners folder in either the platform or game images. Example in a theme you are on the platform level and have a second screen it will choose the platform image to display there located in the /launchbox/images/platforms/<system name>/banners folder. Or if you are on a game level screen it will show the games specific banner located in its related banner folder. At least I hope I understand what I am seeing on my set-up Check out this thread too: Controller Mapping Launch Image Edited March 20, 2017 by Retro808 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
