Request for Custom Background and Quick Launch

Issue #1112 new
Former user created an issue

Using version 6.3 beta 10 on windows 10, love your software, and have a couple of requests if possible. I am converting my hyperspin arcade cabinet to use bigbox exclusively and would love to have the following options:

  1. Custom Backgrounds - Unless I am missing something, the only way I can seem to get a custom background image in the game select screen, is to have a .png for each and every game in the list. Can you possibly add the option to use 1 image for all games? The reason is I do custom artwork for the interface and would love to have the background be custom to the cabinet, with the beautiful coverflow on top.

  2. Quick Launch option - If possible I would like to have the option to launch the game directly from the game select screen, instead of going into game details. I know this is possible by binding the play button (P by default) but in the function of an arcade cabinet it would be nice to leave the P1 / P2 Start buttons as enter, but have the option in the bigbox software to bypass the details screen, so when someone was playing the cabinet, they would just choose their system, then the game, and start playing right away.

Really appreciate your time, and if these aren't feasible I understand. Thank you for the amazing software!!
