Launching merged ROMs in BigBox

[sozuke]

Hi guys!

 

I haven't been able to find an answer to this by searching the forum, or in Brads otherwise excellent YouTube-video on the merge/split-feature (nor in its comment section for that matter). How do you launch ROM nr. 2, 3 and so forth from BigBox when the ROMs are merged to one game? In standard Launchbox it's easy, you just right click and get a menu, but I can't figure out how to do the same thing in BigBox with a controller.

 

Thanks in advance!

In Big Box, most views and themes wont directly launch a game. Usually a menu pops up or it opens up the Game Details view. In the Game Details view it will list all of the merged entries for you.

Thanks for the lightning quick response:)

Game details view, that's the page where you get the list of commands, like play, view manual, flip box et cetera, right?  That's the thing, I navigate to that view, but I can't see any of the merged entries. I can se "play", but if I select it the game just starts on the first ROM. I've played around with the options though, maybe I've disabeled something! I'm using the New Retro theme, if it matters.

It could be a theme thing for sure. The best way to double check and make sure is to use the default theme. Check the controller and keyboard buttons as well, there might be a hot key for them as well, I can't quite remember.
