Can't load game only with bigbox

[GnobarEl]

Hello All,

I can launch the games with Launchbox, but with bigbox they are not loading.

E.g. I launch launchbox and double click on a SNES games, it opens normally and load the bezzel. I can play without issues.

If I change to bigbox and open the samegame, I can see the "loading" animation, but the display is all black. When I press escape, I can see the "game over" image and the game closes.

I'm new to this and I might be missing something, please let me know if you need more details.

 

Thanks for your support.

Sounds like a startup/shutdown screen issue to me, have you tried disabling them in the Bigbox options? Also instead of pressing Escape try ALT TAB is the game there?

Hello!

I did that, but its the same. I think it can an emulator issue, but I don't know how to get more details about it. The loading screen looks working fine. After loading screen the game should start but the screens gets all black until I press ESC key. When I press ESC I can see the game over screen and it returns to bigbox.

 

Thanks.

Hello all,

I was making some more experiences and I noticed that the emulator is loaded but its out of focus. The launchbox window is in front of the emulator, that why I only see a black screen.

 

PLease check the following picture:

As you can see on the picture, everything is loaded. But I can only see the black window.

 

Any advice?

 

Thanks.

That looks like you have retroarch windowed, that wont work it needs to be fullscreen.

[GnobarEl]

hum... any tip how I can change it?

In fact, I have an old backup of the system with v8.x and everything works fine. When I update to version 9.x this issue happens.

 

thanks.

As i said in my previous reply, it looks like you are running retroarch in a window on your desktop, is that correct?

[GnobarEl]

Retroarch if in fullscreen. (I think) how can I confirm it?

Also, uptade: Is I disable "enable startup team", I can now play SNES games. But I still can't play MAME (didn't test other emulators).

 

[GnobarEl]

Its in fullscreen mode:

Hello again!

I restart the bigbox several times, and I think it was a mix of full screen mode and startup theme.

Thanks for your support. So far look great!

 

Thanks,

You also have Retroarch set to Windowed Fullescreen Mode, turn that off.

[GnobarEl]

Did it! Thanks for the tip!
