This can easily be fixed with a couple of options in Bigbox if you experience this same issue.ġ) Start Bigbox, go to the main options screen and select 'Theme Specific Options' and select the theme you are usingĢ) Now select 'Game Startup' and untick the 3 options, 1) Show Loading Message 2) Enable Start Up Screen 3) Hide Mouse Cursor This issue is due to Bigbox taking focus to the main screen when opening a fruit machine so pressing escape to close the pre notepad messages would actually close the fruit machine and not the notepad screen which then led to Windows giving an error. Note: This is where i found MFME had the issue. Screenshots can be taken using MFME and key F8, the screenshot is written to the fruit machines folder.Ħ) Setup complete for launchbox, test a machine by double clicking it. Each machine needs adding one by one as every machine is in its own folder.Ĥ) Import the fruit machine using the *.gam file found in every fruit machines folder.ĥ) Manually add the screenshots to the imported machine by right clicking the machine, select edit and go to the images and attach them. Play with the value from 1-4 for other available screen options, note there does not appear to be an option for maximised stretched.)ģ) Now you are ready to import tha fruit machines. Launchbox itself if fairly easy to get working with MFME but it was Bigbox that was causing oddities that is worth mentioning and writing a quick guide for.ġ) Start Launchbox and Add a new platform called 'Fruit Machines' - this name can be anything you like.Ģ) Add the emulator to launchbox, name the emulator MFME and the following to the the 'Default Command-Line Parameters' section, add '-mode 4' without the quotes

After hitting a minor issue I thought I would put together a useful guide for others in case they could not find the correct workarounds to get it to work.

I am a massive fan of Launchbox and a life time backer so it will always be my first pick. Hi everyone, after putting together my MFME pac-man controller I then tackled the frontend for my setup.
