Super_Paulie Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 hi guys. Question for you. When using Big Box, when you select a ROM that opens with MAME. If you click/press enter/joystick enter button multiple times then the ROM tries to load up, multiple times. This then causes all sorts of issues when exiting as it leaves the other versions still open. Please see attached screen shot for what i mean. Is there any way around this, or to stop MAME opening up more than once? i am running Windows 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 A new startup screens feature is out in the beta releases, and one of the things that it does is fixes this very issue. So you can either upgrade to the betas or just wait a short while for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple startup prevention is planned to work in conjunction with the startup screens though. For now you could try just pressing it once.

It happens every single day and im the one who has to go up, open task manager and close down all the instances of it. Naturally i dont do it myself, but i cant control a rig out in the public areas. "For now you could try just pressing it once" I do. Unknown strangers/unfamiliar users dont. But the fact is we dont have a self contained unit there, it can be broken by people doing this. Thanks Jason, i will look into the BETA to see if that resolves it. Edited December 13, 2018 by Super_Paulie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil9000 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Just now, Super_Paulie said: thanks guys. How do i get a hold of the BETA? Tools/options/updates turn on betas uncheck background downloads and close and re-open Launchbox, you will be prompted on launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Paulie Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 thanks Jason, it works an absolute charm and it goes down a storm here. All the artwork panels are under clear perspex so can be removed and replaced depending on the events we have. Here it is with just my own retro artwork while its in my office over the holidays. I was in the process of customising all the menus but its slow going. The marquees work a treat and with some coding any rom that has no marquee now shows the clear logo up there instead. Very pleased with it and the the help from you guys to make it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
