djtripnosis Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) I've been struggling with this for days now. It seems there should be a simple, if not hacky solution. I cannot find any documentation on how the 2nd screen images are pulled/prioritized. My main issue is: How do I get the marquee to show anything but "Front" for non-arcade games? If I paste copies of the images from "Banner" into "Arcade - Marquee" folder within say NES "Launchbox\Images\Nintendo Entertainment System\Arcade - Marquee", it has no effect whatsoever. Does anyone have any idea how Bigbox is deciding which image to display on the second monitor?

Retro808 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 The marquee currently pulls from the \Images\[Platform Name]\Arcade - Marquee folder. In absence of an image there it will then follow your box front image priorities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have already put images in "Arcade - Marqee" for NES and it still displays "Front" on the marquee, This seems to be the case for all non arcade platforms. i tried refreshing and force populating everything. Strangely, some, like 1 in 50ish, will show "Arcade - Marquee" the first time it is highlighted, but only the first. If you go past it and back, it displays "Front" again. This is VERY weird.

Mr. RetroLust Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Maybe this helps, if you go to image priority settings in launchbox and go to box front, move and check arcade marquee to the top position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 How are your images named? Also what theme are you using? Be mindful if you change the image priority for box fronts it will affect anywhere a box front is shown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damageinc86 Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) I just ran the marquee CTC theme for a platform and it's pulling some images from somewhere I'm not even aware of. My priorities are set in launchbox for arcade - marquee, then banner, then something else. Even though the database id# is the filename, it's only showing about 3 out of 10, and I don't even know where it's getting the other images from. Why won't it just look in the folder and display them? EDIT - apparently BigBox doesn't like the database ID# being the file name? I changed it to the name of the game manually, and then it showed up as a marquee. When rendering images using CTC I found the option to de-select "save as database ID". It works fine now.
