So I found out this evening that steam games are hit or miss running through bigbox now. Several of the fighters and beat ‘em ups I have on my arcade cab kick bigbox back into its menu as the game loads. So I have dual active windows and it causes all kinds of problems. Anyone know a way to deal with this and still have each game selectable within BB? I put the Steam exe in launchbox and have Steam not open at startup and when it is opened, it goes to big picture and I can play games there but that’s clunky to do all that through bigbox…

Thanks!

My cab is close to done. I have two brooks boards for P 1/2, ultimarc flight stick, thunderstick trackball/spinner combo(single usb), and a cheap eg starts encoder to run only the 4 admin buttons on the speaker panel. I’m having a tough time mapping the brooks to operate bigbox menus and the eg encoder to do Pause, close current window, and menu. Anyone have experience with this much crap on a big box setup?
Thanks

I’m almost done building my wall cab and I will be using BigBox for it this time around-I always used Batocera before..
anyway, I have two brooks zero-pi’s for making player 1/2, a thunderstick trackball/spinner combo(1 usb), an Ultimarc flight stick, and a cheap eg starts board solely for 4 admin buttons, pause, close window, menu, and 4th is blank for now.
I’ll be running mame 289 standalone, flycast, teknoparrot and steam only. No retroarch. As of right now, everything shows up and works in the joy.cpl. Bigbox however, mapped the two brooks boards all wrong. I can map each emulator just fine but can i map the eg starts board for those admin functions? I originally had the brooks running the admin but since I was using the L/R 1/2 on each board, they werent mapping correctly so I chose to use the eg starts for that purpose.

Hello there. I’m in the middle of building my updated wall arcade and instead of using Batocera, I’m going with launchbox/bigbox and I wanted to ask what those of you using this frontend, are doing with regards to admin buttons? I have four that I’ll be adding but can make it five if necessary. Current plans are an Exit, Pause, Menu(mame), and I’m unsure on the last one. Any suggestions?

Repurposed a micro 9020 with a 256gb ssd as the HA instance running in a docker on Linux mint, and it’s displaying a touchscreen 8” display through the closet wall and in the living room to control the home theater stuff.
Printed the little HA badge on the bambu to replace the Dell badge👍🏽

Does anyone have the trackball/spinner combo and can tell me the measurements for both please? I need to route out my control panel and map it all out and they’ve been sitting on shipping the parts to me for a week now. I got my ultimarc flight stick from London to Texas in 3 days and nothing from thunderstick yet 🤣🤣
Pic for attention

I’m using a 5060 on my arcade with an i7-8700 and a Radeon 550 single slot. The other I made for my nephew has an i5-4790 with no gpu. I can run higher end arcade games on mine and his is straight mame, atomiswave, Dreamcast arcade and fb neo.
I cut the cases off completely save for the back wall that supports the mobo. It’s screwed into the base. Power supply resides on its oem bracket. Wall mounts with a French cleat. Mine uses brooks fighting boards, nephews uses eg starts encoders and led buttons
