John566 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Is there a way to display a marquee on the 2nd display within LaunchBox (not Big Box). I have it working fine within Big Box but I prefer the interface for LaunchBox. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is in BigBox primarily since that is the main frontend piece for arcade cabinet builds. We could see an update to this at some time, but for now marquee support update did not make the poll items that the team is working on from 2019.

Bummer, I really like the LaunchBox interface and Big Box feels clunky to me. Thanks for the quick response. I will have to play more with Big Box and see if I can find a theme that is similar to LaunchBox (hopefully with mouse support). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrush69 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Since LB has support for LEDBlinky, we can intercept that call, do what ever commands we need to place an image on the screen and than call LEDBlinky. I did a simple test making a basic AHK and set LB options for LEDBlinky to that. LB will pass the Platform and Game in the variables %2 and %3. So just need to parse for the media within LB/images and using whatever method you want to display that image. Than just forward the call to the real LEDBlinky application. You may need to do a little work to properly grab the right media name, but the process will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of what you said is a bit over my head. I had to google AHK, which I now assume is Auto Hot Key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
