1dummy Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Hello All. My marquee screen on my arcade cabinet works great in BigBox while playing Atari 2600, SNES, Sega, etc games. For whatever reason when I go into my Arcade section and I'm scrolling through my games, the marquee screen displays the marquee perfectly. When I select play to start a game, it states 'Now Loading' on my main display and then the game loading process immediately switches to the marquee screen. The game then loads and plays on the marquee screen while my main display screen goes to a black screen. I'm running LaunchBox on Windows 10.. In my Display Settings, my marquee monitor is display 1 and my main display is display 2. Thanks for any and all suggestions for solving this issue.

I would check in your Mame settings (either in the Mame settings menu or your Mame.ini file) and confirm what screen you have Mame set to launch to.

1dummy Posted April 23, 2022 Author Share Posted April 23, 2022 Retro808 - yes, I'm using MAME. Do I change one of the settings within MAME on the attached photo? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look in the Mame.ini for the area below. The Default might have screen set to auto. Try changing it to \\.\DISPLAY1 or \\.\DISPLAY2 depending on how Mame sees your monitors. # OSD PER-WINDOW VIDEO OPTIONS # screen \\.\DISPLAY1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
