Sbaby Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I have a problem with dual screen games, launchbox minimizes first screen on startup, which doesn't happen with normal mame see here : WITH MAME (Without Launchbox or Bigbox) : video_2021-10-21_00-23-04.mp4 WITH LAUNCHBOX OR BIGBOX : video_2021-10-21_00-22-58.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil9000 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 My guess, the startup/shutdown screen is blocking it as that is a black screen. Try turning that off for that game and re-testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro808 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 @Sbaby Before you turned it off were you using the BigBox Startup with your script? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understood what you meant. I am just wondering if it is a combination of using BigBox Startup and that custom AHK application together is causing this issue. As I mentioned I can run BigBox startup with Mame dual screen settings and it works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you did not understand. the problem of the post of the double screen I solved it by deactivating the startup screen. works fine. other post instead the problem is not related to the dual screen. In fact if you watch the video I chose a single screen, sometimes it happens even with wii games with similar script. it's a ramdom problem, it doesn't always happen and it happens without scrpt too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That part I understood. What I was trying to clarify is does this happen if you completely remove those scripts you use and run just the Startup screens and the emulator (with no custom script at all). Just trying to get more information to see if we can figure out why having the Startup screens on does not work all the time for you.

Watching the videos though people cannot tell if a script is running. So, Thanks for confirming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
