jfree427 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Hello - I've spent countless hours configuring Hyperspin (like many). I have my MAME cab configured exactly the way I like it with HS. However, I wanted to give Launchbox/Big Box a shot for a few reasons. 1) HS is not actively being developed any longer 2) WIth HS, I frequently hit some bugs that frustrate me and crash my front end or force me to reboot my PC. I bit the bullet and bought BigBox. (I really wish there was a BB trial.) I really like the game logos for wheel scrolling and the full screen game themes that I have with HyperSpin. Currently with the Unified Redux and others, the individual game video themes show inside a smaller box. The game titles show with text instead of the clear logos even though I have the PNG files downloaded. I'm also not a fan of box art or marquees (just my preference) so I can live without those. Basically I'm looking to recreate the HS look and feel but take advantage of the BigBox active community, updates and easy config. I really do like the product, I'm just seeking a really simple setup. Any help is much appreciated! BigBox Hyperspin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can change it in the settings, or set a button and switch on the fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfree427 Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 Ok, so I was able to alter the view to get the same wheel (thanks!) By selecting "use background video" I am able to get a full screen version of the game themes. However, they are faded since they are being used as a background. Is there anyway to make avoid them being shown as a background (and faded)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vertical Wheel 4 view in Unified and Unified Redux should give you full screen video without needing to select "Use background video". That is the view I use with Redux and I do not have that check box ticked. There is a background fade option at the bottom of the view settings you can try setting that to 100 if it is not. I have it set to 35% and still using the Vert Wheel 4 it does not affect that view since that view is for full screen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfree427 Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 YESSSSS! That is what I was looking for. Thanks for your help. Another noob question. How can I bypass the "Play Game" sub menu? When I click a game on the wheel I want it to automatically play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a way to override the game theme sounds? Example, in hyperspin I had some mp3 files that played. "I wish" By Skee Lo plays when I select NBA Jam (as example). I tried putting the sound files in Music\<Platform> to no avail. Thanks for the help again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
