Toaster777 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) I setup TeknoParrot and imported my first game (Rambo). I'm using BigBox and have an LCD monitor for the marquee. Everything launches fine and plays well with the game itself. The issue is when the game starts up, my marquee gets pushed to the right about halfway on the screen with the left half of the screen being black - it's not covering the marquee with black, the marquee physically gets pushed to the right. Once I exit the game and it goes back to the BigBox interface, the marquee moves back to the left to its proper position. Any ideas why this is happening and what I can do to prevent it from happening? Edited February 2, 2022 by Toaster777 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobucks Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 how do you have your monitors setup in windows? If you have your primary monitor positioned to the left of the secondary monitor under display properties try moving it to the right. I had this same problem with my marquee screen and this ended up fixing it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had this same problem with my marquee screen and this ended up fixing it for me. If I move the primary monitor to the right then my marquee doesn't work at all. It was a while ago when I setup BigBox. Do I have to change some setting if I move the primary monitor to the right of the marquee monitor?

twobucks Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 If you don't change the monitor number I don't believe anything will change in bigbox. try clicking on the monitor in the windows display properties and just drag it to the right of the marquee screen. Make sure sure the alignment stays the same. I believe they just added a new feature in launchbox 12.7 for custom cut marquee screens if that is what you have. If it does not work then just drag it back. I my case i am using an ultrawide monitor for my marquee monitor so positioning of the marquee monitor has never been an issue.

Toaster777 Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 I just dragged it and kept it the same alignment and no marquee displays if the primary is to the right of the marquee screen. I did just install 12.7 today. Let me looking into custom cut marquee screens and see what that is and if it's the reason this is happening.

twobucks Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 can you post a screen shot of the windows display properties? would be good to know what resolution your running on each monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster777 Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 This is how the displays are setup this is the settings for display 1 (primary) this is the settings for display 2 (marquee) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobucks Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) check out this old post. Look about 3/4 down the page where hifihedgehog suggest changing the DPI scaling and refresh rate. This might help getting your marquee screen to display images with the primary monitor moved to the right side in the windows display properties.

Boomerps2 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Same issue for me as well. Heck sometimes I will exit the game and the launchbox magically on the marquee display. You have to Windows Key + Shift + Arrow left or right to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damageinc86 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 The only thing that is happening with my 2nd monitor (set to same resolution as 1st monitor) is the game screen is encroaching a little into the 2nd monitor. Not as much as the BATMAN example above. But you can still see it. After I exit the game it goes back to normal. Not sure what would happen with a different resolution 2nd monitor. But definitely an issue with this emulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ThirdScreen plugin has a fix for your marquee shifting when opening certain games. If you want to try it out just search for "ThirdScreen".
