1dummy Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Hello everyone. I'm in the process of finishing the build on my new arcade cabinet and now I'm having an issue with the digital marquee. Prior to installing the marquee and PC into the cabinet, I connected the marquee to my PC and loaded big box and changed the settings according to ETA Prime's big box tutorial. Everything worked great! No issues whatsoever. I shut everything down, installed the marquee and pc into my new cabinet and now the marquee will not display marquees. I checked my display settings in windows and for whatever reason the smaller digital marquee is now registering as the primary monitor (1) and the smaller digital marquee is the secondary (2). I swapped the marquee settings were correct in big box, but no luck. When I start a game my large main display goes black and the game loads on the marquee. Any ideas of suggestions? Does anyone have any idea why my marquee display monitor would've switched to being identified as monitor 1 and the main monitor would've changed to being identified as monitor 2? Any idea how to switch these back? Hope my explanation makes sense. Thanks for any and all suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Go to your Windows Desktop, right click and select "Display settings". When there you can see a logical monitor layout of your monitors. Make sure the main UI Window is the left most monitor (regardless of what number) and the marquee is positioned to the right of the main display monitor so that the upper left corner of the marquee monitor is touching the upper right corner of the main display monitor and then save your changes and see if that helps you out.

1dummy Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 C-Beats - thank you so much for the direction! For some reason, I'd moved my marquee monitor above my display monitor to get it out of whack. I did what you suggested and all is fine again.

1dummy Posted April 14, 2022 Author Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) Marquee is still working great! Strange thing now is that when I start a game, the game is displayed on the marquee instead of the main screen. Any ideas what I did to cause this issue? Or how to solve my problem?

1dummy Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 My apologies, I should've tested it more before. I only have Atari 2600 roms running through RetroArch and Arcade games running through MAME 0.240. The marquess works great when running the Atari games. No issues at all. However, when running Arcade games, the marquee works great up until a play a game my main screen display's 'now loading' and then the game starts on the marquee screen. I can't figure out what I might have done to the settings to cause this to happen only when running arcade games. Anyone have any suggestions as to what might stop this from happening? Thank you!
