Glenn72 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Works fine from Launchbox, but when I try to launch PS2 games from Bigbox, I have to manually alt + tab to switch to the pcsx2 window, in order to see and play the game. The Bigbox window does not background. Any ideas why this is? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadVoivod Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I just tested it now, and mine works fine, pcsx2 opens in fullscreen. Could it be a setting in pcsx2, and not in BigBox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn72 Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share Posted November 7, 2020 Thanks for the reply, I'll go through all of the settings tomorrow and see. I thought it may have been the theme, but happens the same on default theme too. Some further details, the screen goes black when launched from Bigbox but you can hear sound from the game. Alt + tab brings you to the pcsx2 window after a few presses. I'll play around with more options on pcsx2 and see, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like a startup/shutdown screen settings issue, try turning them off and see if it fixes it, if so you will need to adjust your startup screen settings for pcsx2.

Glenn72 Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 It's still not working, i went through all of the pcsx2 settings, but I'm ok with the alt + tab twice to start up a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you not look at the Launchbox startup/shutdown screens like i suggested, im pretty sure your pronlem lays there. I run pcsx2 with no focus issues at all.

Glenn72 Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 Thanks a lot Neil9000, that was exactly the problem and apologies for the length of time it took to check this option. As soon as I disabled the start up screen at the theme specific options it works perfectly now,. Is there a way to set this up on an emulator specific basis as it looks like the option is global for the theme settings. Thanks again for your help and advice.

You can set them per emulator in Tools/Manage Emulators/name of emulator/Startup tab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
