Prick Slickfield Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 So I repurposed an old tablet to be used as a wireless secondary display in Windows using Spacedesk, with my primary screen being a 55" 4K TV. However I'm not able to get the marquee screen in Bigbox to show up on the tablet display. When I alt tab I can see the marquee window open on the primary screen but I'm not able to click into it and drag it to the secondary display, nor can I use the Windows key + Shift + cursor key combo to send it to that display. Has anyone tried this setup and what settings do I need to adjust so BigBox recognizes and uses the second display as a marquee screen? The tablet resolution is only 1280x800 so i wonder if that's an issue. Is there an XML file somewhere I need to edit? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks In BigBox make sure you have set your primary and secondary screens and I believe BB needs to see the monitor the same way Windows would recognize it. I am not sure if it will work through a 3rd party program like SpaceDesk. I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prick Slickfield Posted March 27, 2022 Author Share Posted March 27, 2022 Primary and Secondary screens are set in BB (Screen 1 and 2) so it's def recognizing it. It's working with other programs - in Cemu for example I'm able to set the tablet display as the Wii U gamepad screen which is pretty cool. I'll keep messing with it, maybe try a different virtual display app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prick Slickfield Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 Problem solved - ended up messing with the DPI settings in BB properties. Tick both boxes for Program DPI and High DPI scaling override, and select System the dropdown. This was a very productive 7 1/2 hours of my life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
