inemu Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Hello. I have a question. I want to work with 2 monitors on my BigBox Arcade Cabinet. (ex PhotoPlay2000) A main monitor and a backglass monitor. On the backglass monitor (1024x768) I want to show 2 different things. Marquee/Backglass Graphics/Videos on the Top and DMD/Platform-Logo Graphics/Videos on the Bottom. But the DMD should not be stretched. The Resolutions are Backglass: 1024x473 / DMD: 523x142 Example: Is there a way to set this in BigBox? I do not want a 3rd monitor. Here are some pictures how should my Arcade Cabinet look like. Someone help me? Sry for my bad english.... i`m from Germany Edited January 17, 2023 by inemu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 You'd have to manually create a marquee view file to do this, but yes it's entirely possible to do. I enjoy your cab design quite a bit though the main monitor being 4:3 for pinball I'm not sure I'd enjoy, the overall concept is pretty cool.

Retrofrogg Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I think there's a couple of plugins you can look at that do something similar to what you're asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don´t want to make new marquee files for all the games or tables thats a lot........ Yeah i know but i dont want to add a Widescreen Monitor in Vertical.... 5 hours ago, Retrofrogg said: I think there's a couple of plugins you can look at that do something similar to what you're asking. The only plugin that i found is the ThirdScreenPlugin but on this plugin i can´t edit the size and the position of the Graphics / Videos....

Think you may have misunderstood. You have 2 files that need created for your entire library. The marquee view for your platform list, and the marquee view for the games list. The XAML would be pretty simple/straight forward. If you let us know what you want displayed on both monitors some one could help you make the files. If you just want two images shown it's a 5m job to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok yes i misunderstood sry so i want to make a single Monitor that show both... the Marquee or the banner image of the game / backglass video of the pinball table on the top and the platform Clear-Logo of the game / DMD-Video of the pinball table underneath.... like my example On one single Monitor Edited January 19, 2023 by inemu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-Beats Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Do you know how many pixels there are between the bottom of the back glass and the top of the DMD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
