Johnny T Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 There's another one been put up for sale now if anyone is interested: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/28-Stretched-Lcd-Screen/333295216519?hash=item4d99f16787:g:AJMAAOSw8a9cVu0A By the way, I'm not in any way affiliated with the guy who's selling these. I'm just trying to help anyone who wants one as they are very hard to find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not started building my cab yet so it will primarily be designed around the width of the LCD. It was a bit bigger than I was looking for but, as you say, they aren't that easy to find so didn't want to pass it up. Happy days! Hi Johnny T got my marquee screen now unfortunately its not displaying correctly and the image is cut off just wondered if you had the same issue and possibly a fix?

Hi Napalm Yep! I had exactly the same issue! I did a bit of searching on here and found a thread about it ( You need to have a mess around with your GameMarqueeView and PlatformMarqueeView xaml files in the views folder. I copied the code from the thread and managed to get some of the marquees displaying perfectly. I've not built my cabinet yet so I shelved it at that point with a view to coming back to it and sorting it out properly when the cabinet is built. However, if you get futher than me and get it sorted then please let me know what mods you made as I've obviously got the same display as you and it'll save me a big headache!

Cheers If I get chance and further than you I will certainly share what Ive found ? I have found that thread also and have played around with settings as they have said but for some reason it errors out on me and doesn't work so don't know Im doing wrong would you mind sharing your xaml so I cant start where you left off?

Johnny T Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Certainly! I'm at work at the moment but I'll do it when I get home (around 6pm UK time - in about 4 hours from making this post). ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny T Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Arrrrghhhh...!!! I haven't got them!!! I had problems with Retrostatic crashing my new cabinet PC when I was testing it and I've deleted the theme folder and re-downloaded it forgetting that I'd messed around with the xaml files! I'll have to re-do it all when I start setting up the cabinet properly. Apologies mate. From memory though, all I did was adjust the Grid Height and Width settings I think. I managed to get Donkey Kong / Donkey Kong 2 etc working fine although I still had problems with a lot of other marquees. But I just shelved it then thinking I would sort it when I got around to it. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny T Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Okay that's good. Why not start a new thread asking for help on it and link it in here. You'll probably get a load of people chiming in with more info. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should likely just need a repositioning of the image in the xaml. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro you are a genius feel really stupid changed the grid height to match the resolution of the monitor and works thank you so much ? 15 hours ago, Johnny T said: Arrrrghhhh...!!!

Johnny T Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 That's great! I *thought* it was something to do with Grid Height and Width! Thanks Retro! Thanks for the code Napalm. Glad you got it all sorted. Cheers ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
