Customize marquee launch command

Issue #4770 new
Christian Meneghini created an issue

Hi! A feature that i personally would like to have, is to intercept/modify/personalize/externalize the call that Bigbox make to display the Marquee on the secondary monitor.

I made a totally custom cab, with a retroprojected active marquee. Due to position on projector, mirror tilt angle, frustum projection, the marquee image is not centerd and is not straight projected. So i need to take marquee image and adapt using angles handles, like you do in Photoshop when free transforming. I'm a game developer and i'll write that "projection corrected marquee visualizer tool", but i need to call it with the marquee filename, inside Launchbox / Bigbox.

So the ability to execute a specified commandline with the rom marquee filename passed as a parameter whenever the user change the displayed game inside Bigbox could be very useful for my case (and maybe for some others). Btw, i'm thinking of adding more infos on the marquee visualizer, like a graphical vu-meter for the music, time of the day, cpu frequency and some other customizable infos.

Best :)
