That is very true! I definitely appreciate the built-in config utility... however, since I have a very simple pedestal, I was needing to filter out quite a few control setups like trackball and wheel, as well as certain categories. Would it be possible to add in at least those two filters? Thanks!
bulbousbeard:
Yes, I'll look into that, and I'll also contact the Romlister author and see if he has any interest in adding support for Big Blue XML output.

Big Blue will now restart Windows Explorer when you quit to the desktop if it isn't running. This is for setups that will set Big Blue to replace the Windows shell.

Did another update tonight (3/23) to clean up some of the multi-monitor behavior. When you select a category in the game list, it now shows the SF2 logo on all screens while loading. Also, if you exit the frontend or try to shut it down while a second player is joining a game, the animation sequence is handled more elegantly.

Been working on issues with Windows startup and so on.
Try this:
With the old version of Big Blue, Attract Mode, or pretty much any other frontend, put a shortcut to it in your Windows startup folder.
Restart Windows.
While Windows is booting, just keep hammering "asdkjalksdjlksa" or whatever on your keyboard.
Notice how the frontend doesn't have focus. It's because your desktop is grabbing keyboard focus.
I've heavily revamped window creation in Big Blue, and I have really tight control over it now. When BB starts, it will now grab focus regardless of whatever was happening on the keyboard. I noticed this when the kids started hammering the ---fudgesicle--- out of the control panel while the cabinet was booting up. Kids are by far the best testers. They can destroy anything.
