curb Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) Hello, So this is my first real go at building an arcade cabinet and I went with a no intro collection to just get the ball rolling. Everything I have tried to play so far through launchbox has worked great. So i decided to pay for big box and the games launch but don't become the active window. Not sure if that's the correct tech terminology but when I alt tab I can see the emulator playing the game as an option but it won't even let me switch to it through alt tabbing, i can just see it in the list of windows. To double check myself, I closed big box, opened launchbox, and tried to open the same game. It launched fine and I can play it. So anyone have any idea what I'm missing? I tried something from a similar-ish post and turn off the startup screens but it didn't help. Edited March 5, 2020 by curb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Is this with a specific emulator or with all of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curb Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Well I'm basically only using 2, mame and retroarch. The one i tried is a neo geo through retroarch. I can try others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curb Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Well I looked through my emulators, fiddled, no dice. Then i notice there was double load screen graphics when loading games so maybe rocket launcher is doing something so I disable the load screens from rocket launcher and enable the ones in big box and now it's working. Too many options all over the place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curb Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Well as I said, I'm new to all of this so used a no intro collection just so I can get to playing, though I am doing a from scratch build on my main pc to learn more about it. So I'm gathering you're meaning launchbox will do all that for me? Cause I'll start reading up on that then cause multiple things doing the same thing is just stupid and obviously causes issues. This has all been slow going for me cause every little thing i do breaks something and then Im reading up on how it works so I can fix it.
