wally86 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Hello. I got big box setup pretty nice. Was wondering if there's a way to display the back cover where the red circle is? Any help is appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spycat Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I use the default BigBox theme and can only post for that. That area normally shows a preview video of a game. If no video is available, then it shows a screenshot of the game. If you aren't using game videos then in LaunchBox select Tools, Options and in Screenshot Priorities, set Box - Back to have top priority. You may then need to Refresh All Images within BigBox.

wally86 Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 I'm also using the default theme and that worked perfectly. Thanks There's one other thing I'm trying to get it to do. I press play it shows the loading screen, which is great. I'm running a 16:9 1080p tv with bigbox. When I press play it goes over to my 4:3 1600*1200 screen. I would like my 16:9 to go back to the game details while I play. It that possible? Sorry about the wordy description. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Not sure if it is currently not possible. BigBox does support a second screen, but it currently is for marquee images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally86 Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) After messing around I got it to work. Make bigbox is set to display game on second screen. I'm using retroarch and have the option set "don't pause emulation when screen is inactive" and "hide taskbar" on. I then load game. It shows "loading screen" on big box and the starts game on second screen. I can then right click on bigbox and the game detail screen reappears on screen 1.
