Nostalgic Memories - Platform Themes
DESCRIPTION:
Hello everyone, I spent the last few weeks working on a new style for my platform themes, previously known as Coverbox Fragments, which is based off of Faeran's Coverbox. It's a series of individual platform themes based off of actual console bios/menus. I had first planned to just start where I left off with it and make new fragments for it, that later changed as I felt the need to do more than I did before. I always wanted to make use of all the views, instead of binding myself only to the text view. So, I have a proposition...I want to redo them all in this new style. Knowing that I would have to rebuild the fragments when CTC 3.2 came around was always a thought in the back of my mind. Why wait I say, sounds way more fun to make them all again from scratch with CTC 3.2. Now I can create more views than before, implement the new features of CTC 3.2, and push BigBox to its limit. I decided on a new project name since it isn't focused on one view anymore, i named it Nostalgic Memories because that's what this project reminds me of the entire time I'm making them. I had a lot of fun making this first one, I'm excited to start on another. I plan on making one of these for each platform, I will always use the coverbox fragments style for the text view with all platforms as I did before.
NOTE: CTC 3.2 is still being worked on by y2guru, you may notice a few things that aren't all the way finished because of that. Don't worry, I check Dave's Patreon page everyday for updates, as soon as they come in I'll be sure to update them. Marquee view, and animations on the shutdown view are still being worked on. It will be fixed when CTC is updated, the shutdown screen animations I may have to redo I feel that's a error on my end that I can't figure out.
As usual, it will take me a day or so to get this looking real nice. Once I do it's off to the next platform, be sure to stop by my patreon and vote, its free.

Some of these views are only included in the Patreon Edition version of my themes. Don't worry, I didn't put my best views behind a paywall. The Patreon Edition contains extra views for niche and obscure addons for platforms that most people don't even have in their collection. I will always include my best views for free, the extra views for my supporters are my way of saying thank you to them.
Each theme has a custom credits view that has no use aside from that. I use Vertical Wheel 4 for that always, you can exit by changing to another view.

PATREON:
Ah, Patreon. Where do I start. I know some people don't like that I started one, and put fragments behind a paywall. I am here to make that right so the fragments are now free, hope that ends that. I also know that some of you want to help, but don't have a way to buy me stay up late drinks. I will be clear that I'm not out to become a Patreon hero, so don't expect that of me. I believe that if you put effort towards balancing everything out, everybody can be happy. In that regard, I set it up in a way that I thought would make everyone happy. For people that hate the idea of buying anybody a coffee, I provided you with what I did before with way more content, and new views! For people that like to buy others coffee, I have provided you with a means to do so and a special edition with extra views. Equally, both sides get something special, I believe this is the best way. Now that's all said and done, I changed up the Patreon a bit and plan to do so a bit more. I like to hear from everybody so the poll is now public, comments will be public, etc. I like to know what kind of views you guys want added, help me with assets, anything. I love ANYTHING gaming related, including hearing from others that share that same passion. Don't be shy, stop by and help me make the best themes I can.

Coverbox - Fragments
Sorry for the poor quality, i will replace it with a more detailed extended version when I have more time.
MUCH BETTER VIDEOS: By DonellHD
DESCRIPTION:
I am possibly the biggest Coverbox fanboy in these forums, I've loved it since I was made aware of its existence. It was my go to for over a year of retro gaming. After using it for a while I started to notice areas that could be improved upon, eventually leading to me wanting to do something about it. After getting permission from Faeran I started adding in all the stuff I wished Coverbox had. I found it more flexible to make each platform a individual theme so I could have full control over all the views per platform, music, all the cool things that come with individual theme settings. Basically what we are left with is a super badass version of coverbox that's all "fragmented" into individual themes. Its got all the flashy stuff of a modern theme but still retains that sweet warm glow of Coverbox. I started making a "core" theme that was supposed to be a bridge between these fragments and the main platform theme, called "PlatformBox". It was put on the back burner and I never got back to it, I plan to make that eventually. So for now these will only work if applied in game view mode (the view that lists your games). Meaning, you have to go into that platform to the game list then apply the corresponding theme to see its effect.
WARNING: These themes may not work well on low performance machines! I do not have a low spec pc to test them on. Im working on that in the newer versions so everybody can enjoy it.

Mini Consoles Theme - RetroSai Nostalgia - Form over Function
By Saieno
The inception of this project was catalyzed by observing the theme presented by exodus_cl. Inspired, I set out to architect a theme that would not only epitomize the unique ethos, ambience, and distinctiveness of each gaming platform I personally had the experience of using, but also pay reverence to their original design principles. Delving deep, I recreated and sometimes re-imagined themes of official mini consoles. Concurrently, I envisioned and formulated how other platforms, not originally themed by their respective manufacturers, might have been conceived.
A nuanced observation would reveal that each Atari platform, while retaining its distinct character, embodies a similar ambience. This pattern can be observed across platforms like Nintendo and SEGA. For contemporary consoles, my approach gravitated towards capturing the essence of their dashboards, trying to evoke a profound sense of nostalgia. Distinctive views have also been crafted for platforms like PS2 and Xbox, reminiscent of the Demo Disks prevalent during their era.
Theme Features:
Aesthetic Integrity: Each console view crafted is a celebration of its unique vibe, endeavoring to pay the highest tribute to its original design.
Dashboard Designs: Faithful recreations of existing Mini-Console dashboards are accompanied by imaginative conceptions of those that remain uncharted by official designers.
Nostalgic Inclusions: Optional views are available replicating the classic Demo Disks for platforms like PS2 and Xbox.
Auditory Experience: Background music encapsulates either iconic tunes from system games or melodies crafted using the genuine hardware.
Re-imaginative Themes: Mini console themes, including those for the original Playstation and Sega Genesis, have been re-envisioned to seamlessly blend with the overarching theme.
Regional Nuances: Alternate views tailored for specific regions encompass platforms like Famicom, Super Famicom, and the Sega Mega Drive series, to name a few.
Universal View: A generic default games view is present, suitable for any console devoid of a custom design.
UI Recreation: Emulating the ethos of newer consoles, UIs like the Xbox 360 Blades, PS3 XMB, and the WiiU Gamepad have been faithfully recreated.
Recommended Configuration:
Startup View: Platforms Games List View: Horizontal Wheel 1 Platforms List View: Platform Wheel 1 View Consistency: Ensure separate views are maintained for each platform. Please refrain from bypassing the game details screen, as bespoke game details screens have been designed in alignment with the native console/platform system menus where pertinent.
Critical Information: Within each custom platform, the Game Details View Menu is subtly concealed, simulating the initiation of a game. To reveal this concealed menu, one must navigate either up or down whilst in the Game Detail View.
Specific View Instructions:
The primary view for most platforms aligns with the Horizontal Wheel 1 view. However, specific cases are outlined as:
Systems devoid of a custom view should adopt the CoverflowGamesView. For the Playstation 2 Demo Disk View, resort to the HorizontalWheel2GamesVIew. Platforms like the Microsoft Xbox One, Nintendo Wii, WiiU, and Playstation Vita are best represented by the WallGamesView. For the Microsoft Xbox Demo Disk, Playstation 3, and Playstation Portable, the WheelGamesView is recommended. To ensure the Sega Master System/Sega Mark III/Sega SG-1000 Card Games are displayed appropriately, annotate "Card Media." at the conclusion of the Metadata Notes section for each game. Navigational Caution: When interacting with the WiiU, restrict your navigation downwards to prevent the game title from overlapping with other games.
Supported Platforms with Distinct Themes: Duplicate listings are for accommodating particular naming conventions.

-----------------------------------------------------
Arcade/Steam/Intellivision/Dreamcast Case Video Demo
Version-2.0.0-Overview.mp4 Arcade/MAME View:
Imagine walking into a dimly lit room, only to be greeted by the vibrant glow of neon lights, screens reflecting off sleek surfaces and rows of brightly colored cabinets. The energizing cacophony of game sounds, chiptunes, and playful challenges fills the air, beckoning players to try their hand at conquering pixelated realms. This was the magic of a 90s arcade – a sanctuary for gamers, where stories were not just told but lived, one coin at a time.
Diverse Cabinet Showcase: Just as arcades offered a smorgasbord of games, this view boasts over 48 unique arcade cabinets, each presenting a doorway into the past.
Variants Included: The 90s arcade was never just about the joystick and buttons. Racing wheel games that simulated high-speed chases and light gun cabinets that brought first-person shooter scenarios to life were all the rage. This view recreates these specialties, ensuring that every gamer finds their niche.
Atmospheric Navigation: It's not just about the games; it's about the experience. As you navigate from one cabinet to another, the shifting atmosphere and audio ambiance transport you back in time, simulating the sensation of wandering through an arcade, deciding where to drop your next coin.
Detailed Reflections: Attention to detail is key. The glow of the game screen softly reflecting off the control panels, especially in the game details screen, doesn't just add to the visuals—it revives memories of intense focus and fingers dancing over buttons in rhythmic gameplay.
Arcade BIOS Game Details Menu: To round off this authentic trip down memory lane, the game details menu mirrors the look and feel of an Arcade BIOS. It's not just about playing; it's about immersing oneself in the entire arcade ethos.
Notes: "Screenshots", "Marquees", "Clear Logos", and "Videos" are utilized for the view. The cabinet style is designated by the game "Publisher" metadata. Racing cabinets are designated by the "Racing" and "Driving / ..." variant genres and Lightgun cabinets are designated by the "Shooter / Gun" genre.
If you wish to manually change the cabinet to fit a specific aesthetic for a game, here are the supported publishers you can update the metadata for the specific game to:
"Arika"
"Atari Corporation"
"Atari Games"

"Bally Midway"

"Taito Corporation Japan" (Red Buttons)
"Taito Corporation" (Red Buttons)
"Taito" (Black Buttons)

Steam/PC Games/Windows/Microsoft Windows View:
Especially designed for Windows/PC Games/Steam enthusiasts, this view is inspired by the UI of the Steam Deck. Currently, I'm harnessing the metadata provided by LaunchBox, but hopefully in the future I'll be able to integrate the Steam, GOG, and Epic metadata for a richer experience. Until then, I'm confident you'll love what you see.
Steam Deck Inspiration: This view is designed after the Steam Deck version of Steam OS.
Library View: A seamless browsing experience to navigate through your games.
Game Details View: Get all the information you need about a game with a visually appealing presentation.
Overlay Menu: An intuitive overlay menu for the Game Details Menu, so you get all the additional details without any hassle.
Notes: "Box - Front", "Clear Logo", "Screenshots", "Videos" and "Banners" are utilized for this theme. Unfortunately Fan Background and Steam/Epic/GOG metadata is not available for me to use for the theme currently. Screenshots are utilized first, then Banners as a fall back.
Mattel Intellivision View:
This view brings the nostalgia right to your fingertips. Every time you select a game, the Controller Overlay will change to match that specific game. This is perfect for those who love authenticity. But there's more! This view also includes the iconic "My Intellivision" track from Intellivision Lives! which will hopefully set the mood.
Classic Console Presentation: Experience the nostalgic Mattel Intellivision console front and center.
Dynamic Controller Overlays: Game-specific controller overlays are showcased, ensuring that the controls displayed are accurate for each game if available.
Accurate Cartridge Port: With the Mattel Intellivision's cartridge port usually on the side of the console, its been placed at the top with accurate cart insertion depth!
"My Intellivision" Theme Song: Fans of Intellivision Lives! will be delighted to hear the "My Intellivision" theme song incorporated into the theme.
Note: The Controller Overlays are handled via the "Arcade - Controls Information" metadata.
Dreamcast Region Specific Game Cases:
Now, your Dreamcast game cases will automatically adjust based on the region you've specified in LaunchBox. Here's a breakdown of the region-specific cases:
North America White: Set region to North America (This is the default setting) North America Black: Set region to North America Alt European: Set region to Europe Japan White: Set region to Japan Japan Black: Set region to Japan Alt Note: Changing regions for games is best handled via LaunchBox by selecting all games you'd like to change to a specific region, then mass editing the Region field and updating them.
Supported Views (Switch View key may need to be mapped in BigBox):
To help with the initial configuration of the Theme, if a Platform attempts to utilize a view that is not supported, a customized view displaying supported options will appear. For example, the default view for the theme is Horizontal Wheel 1, however not all platforms utilize this view and a screen displaying the supported views for the specific Platform will be displayed.
Note: Supported Views allows for BigBox wide Search, results will just need to be set to Fullscreen CoverFlow. The Platform View Searching works as expected, and so does Game Detail Menu options like Related Games, etc

By Zanchos
Just and edit I made specifically for the Gameboy Advance using All Night Long as a template. It is set under horizontal wheel 2. You may have to delete the texlistview in the theme folder to avoid a popup. You can change the background for each game by changing the fanart backgrounds.

I tried to do my best for the fallbacks, don't hesitate to tell me if there are things that are wrong and I will correct them.
Description of the theme :
There are bezels (1920/1080) and marquees (1920/360) for:
- Nes / Supernes / NeoGeo / Dreamcast / Genesis / N64 / Windows / Xbox / Xbox 360 / Playstation / Playstation 3.
- I created fallback image and video backgrounds for other platforms. (Hope it works !)

Arcade Floor
Arcade Floor Theme for BigBox 1.02
by chinagreenelvis
Arcade Floor is designed for use and visibility on a traditional arcade cabinet CRT or television set in 4x3 but will stretch to any aspect ratio. It relies entirely on the text-based menu system and works well with Platform Categories views for those who take advantage of custom playlists and sub-lists for platforms.
Game fanart backgrounds will display in the games details view if they are enabled in the background priorities list in the LaunchBox settings.
To create your own background images for non-included platforms, a Photoshop file has been included in the Arcade Floor DIY Backgrounds ZIP file. Just place the background image of your choice into the platform folder layer and the vaporwave overlay will give it the right look. Exported images must go into two folders: Arcade Floor/Media/Platforms and Arcade Floor/Images/Platforms/Fanart.
Theme colors (purple and blue hues) are produced entirely by the background images, so if you want to create a whole new look, you can subsitute your own backgrounds by replacing those images. Deleting the images entirely will default each view to the images in the Aracdian/Media/Backgrounds folder.
In order to prevent audio from game videos from continuing to play when entering games details view or scrolling through the list, try setting the video playback engine in Big Box to Windows Media Player instead of VLC.
Most of Arcade Floor was made with the Community Theme Creator for BigBox 2.3 and is compatible with LaunchBox 12.9 as of this version.
Get the CTC here: https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/file/2115-community-theme-creator-for-bigbox/
////////////////////
1.01:
This version contains a modified (simplified) version of the Random Game Selector by G-rila (https://github.com/G-rila/BigBoxRGS). In any games menu, hold right in order to get a pop up item for randomly selecting a game. Pressing the select button in the pop-up will automatically begin a random game from your current playlist.
The CTC files for version 1.00 do not include the code for this plugin, but you get can get the DLL from 1.01 and re-add it to TextGamesView.xaml after publishing by following the instructions on GitHub. The secondary grid code for this theme is slightly different than the example provided:
<Grid x:Name="RGSGrid" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualWidth}" Height="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualHeight}" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5" Panel.ZIndex="1000" > <bbrgs:RGSv2_0 HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" ShowGameDetails="False" ShowGameNotes="False" CheckForUpdates="True"/> </Grid>460 downloads

theme Flashycart
By walter10h
Hello and thank you for checking out my brand new theme. Flashycart is an attempt at recreating ODE/Flashcart/Loader interfaces for many different systems. It has taken me hours upon hours of work, and I'm most happy to finally make it public.
Most consoles on this theme make use of Text views. The point is simplicity and speed. 3DS Uses a horizontal wheel.
Each screen is also customizable, as you can change the backgrounds to your liking. On N64 you can add a gif file named animbg.gif if you wish for an animated background. NES, Sega Genesis/Megadrive, Turbografx, and Snes/Sufami support animated backgrounds as well (animbg.gif and animlistbg.gif). 3DS supports regular and animated background (pt_bottom.gif and pt_top.gif).

My Room
By Telecom
The theme was created for myself a couple of years ago, so I'm putting it here. It was created on the basis of the amazing Unified theme from the author CriticalCid. Because it was the most suitable candidate for realization of my idea.
The idea was to recreate the atmosphere of a room from those times.
I couldn't find suitable backgrounds on the internet, so I had to learn 3D, namely Blender, to create a couple of pictures for this theme. Yes, I'm probably crazy to learn 3D from scratch for the sake of two pictures. The plan was to create a choice of atmosphere of different console generations.
If the topic is in demand, I will resume updates.

VisioN
By faeran
A stylish, background heavy focused theme with inspiration from the unreleased Aura 4k theme by iGarikoitz. The theme itself uses your clear logo images, fanart - background images, screenshot images, and game video snaps to create this completed theme. There is a number of white platform clear logos made by Dan Patrick and 100+ platform/playlist/category backgrounds are included that I have curated with the ability to add your own. This theme will gracefully fall back to different images to make sure something is always displayed.
Requirements
LaunchBox must be on version 13.1 or higher (or you'll get errors) Theme is made for a 16:9 aspect ratio Views
Platform Wheel 1 - The main platform wheel for this theme Text Filters View - Used primarily when viewing other filter sections Horizontal Wheel 1 - The main game view for this theme Horizontal Wheel 2 - An alternate game view that uses your screenshots and video snaps Text Games View - Mostly used for the Game Details Menu view, but could be used as a game view
Things to Note
100+ Platform Backgrounds have been included in this theme. You can include your own by placing them in the following folders (The file name needs to match the name of your platform, category, or playlist): Platform Images: LAUNCHBOX\Themes\VisioN\Images\Platforms\Fanart Category Images: LAUNCHBOX\Themes\VisioN\Images\Platform Categories\Fanart Playlist Images: LAUNCHBOX\Themes\VisioN\Images\Playlists\Fanart White Platform Clear Logos have been included by Dan Patrick. You can add your own by placing them into the following folders (The file name needs to match the name of your platform, category, or playlist): Platform Images: LAUNCHBOX\Themes\VisioN\Images\Platforms\Clear Logo Category Images: LAUNCHBOX\Themes\VisioN\Images\Platform Categories\Clear Logo Playlist Images: LAUNCHBOX\Themes\VisioN\Images\Playlists\Clear Logo You can add your own Game Backgrounds that are specific to this theme. You can place them into the following folder (file name must either be based on the game's title, replacing special characters, or named after the LaunchBox Game ID. Check folder for some examples.) LAUNCHBOX\Themes\VisioN\Images\Games\Game Background\[platform name]
For Theme Developers
There are a number of features in this theme that have never been done before. You can examine the code to learn the following:
Use of a progress bar with the game count bindings that provides dynamic visual feedback of where you are in your game list as you are navigating around Use of the Index Visibility binding to provide animation triggers. This allows you to provide smooth animations to any element when opening and closing the alpha-numeric index The use of FlowImage (and its bindings) to provide performant image fallbacks. Using FlowImage over an Image element increases performance by loading images in an off-thread, provides better disposal logic, and doesn't lock the file that is located on the hard drive. The use of an item offset converter, which allows you to display images (or metadata) for games that are (+ or -) around the game or platform that is selected.
Thanks to
Dan Patrick - for use of his white clear logo pack
iGarikoitz - for the initial concept inspiration for this theme

Pop Art
By zbt1898
Hey all!
This is my first attempt at a theme. It goes with what my cab will look like once it's all done - it's Pop Art! I don't own any of these images, and borrowed them from all over the internet, modfied others, and even have some images from other themes.
Would love to know your thoughts, if you'd like to see any changes.
I have two versions, one that should work on a 27 inch monitor (via pc) and one set for a vertical machine (for those that have modfied Arcade 1up's.
Enjoy!!!

NEON DELUXE ARCADE - 16:9
-----------------------------------------------------
CREDITS
Huge thanks goes out to @y2guru for his Community Theme Creator Software and his endless personal help, also he created the animated wheels for this theme! @Hexxxer for the original inspiration of his FutureState theme. @Rincewind for the inspiration on his use of the icons. @faeranfor explaining the new marquee options in v12. Thanks guys!
-----------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION
1. Download the theme here and place the folder in Launchbox/Themes/
2. You might need to unblock the zip file or all the .DLL's in the plugin folder. Right click the zip or DLL files, choose properties and at the bottom you click "Unblock".
3. I recommend doing the following to speed up Big Box greatly:
- Uncheck all Background Images in Launchbox > Tools > Options > Media > Background Priorities
- Set all transitions to "None" in BigBox settings
- Use the Clean Up media tool in launchbox/tools/Clean Up Media... (this can really speed up lists with thousands of games and duplicate media)
- Defrag the drive that holds your media files
Hope you like and enjoy! ?

Neon Pulse
By Schuster66
Here is a BigBox-theme that I created in the CTC called "Neon Pulse"
I used the Pulse-Theme from thimolor as a starting point and also used assets from other themes available in this forum. So all the credit for these assets go to their original creators.
This theme needs a separate view for every platform (a very basic Default view is included as a backup). I included the files for the Community Theme Creator, so everyone can edit or add to this theme to his/her liking.
Included Views:
Platform Wheel 1
Platform Wheel 2
Vertical Wheel 1 (Static 3D Boxes)
Vertical Wheel 2 (Interactive 3D Boxes)
Horizontal Wheel 1 (Static 3D Boxes)
Horizontal Wheel 2 (Interactive 3D Boxes)

Fading Elegance
By The Papaw
I have brought the Fading Elegance themes "up-to-date" to work better with the newer versions of Bigbox. Covers over 200 platforms and 60 common playlists. Other cosmetic changes and fixes. (last 8 screenshots are SE only)
Feature: Slow changing color background
Feature: various fading in-and-out information areas
Includes: over 300 custom made genre and play mode images (includes a PS template)
Updated: added or replaced some badges, controllers and artwork.
Updated Video: (12-04-23)
Assets used in the video (already included in the SE version of the theme)
Stephen with Reverb - Platform Audio Clips PSGC Commercials - video snaps (download separately) PSGC Genre & Play Mode Images Startup Video PSGC Quiet Sound Pack some custom made Playlist videos The reason I had called the theme "Fading Elegance" was that I went for an elegant look, sharp edges and straight lines and designed certain information sections to be displayed for a few seconds, then fade out while fading in something new. Like in the platform views, it may start showing an image of the platform device, it will fade out, as the maximum number of players will fade in. These will rotate between the two. You will see this throughout the themes with various types of information. They have a smooth, slowly color changing background and have most all the bells and whistles that are available.
Just a heads up, the Fading Elegance themes are pretty resource hungry as there are some "behind the scenes" videos going on and all animations that are used. Feel free to give them a try on low end systems, if you have issues, you may be able to delete the audio clips and background videos to gain some improvement.
- To activate LAN - add LAN as a new "Play Mode" for the desired game(s)
- To activate ROM - add ROM as a new "Source" for the desired game(s)
- To activate Karaoke - add Karaoke as a new "Genre" for the desired game(s)
(bulk edit is easiest way to add new badges)
If you would like to use the new badges in Launchbox, you will need to download the Badge pack.
The SE version is being used in the video. The SE versions of my themes always have additional views and include Platform & Playlist audio clips. And of course, my supporters can change many of the assets by downloading them from the download section of my BMAC page.

Sleipnir
By blattacker
About:
This theme is inspired by Pegasus Frontend's default theme. I personally really love the look of Pegasus, but vastly prefer the functionality of Big Box, so this is me doing my best to combine both worlds. Excluding those credited below, all other custom assets were created by me. As a note: This theme was designed in 4K for use on a large television. Scaling issues present in previous versions have been fixed, to my knowledge. This WIP upload is intended to get fresh eyes on the project and help to identify issues I may not be running into with my limited usage, as well as provide a better version of this theme than was currently available during a period of time where I don't have as much free time as I have previously.
Credits:
Genre Icons: Game Icons
Platform Clear Logos: v2 Platform Logos Professionally Redrawn + Official Versions, New BigBox Defaults 2.1.0
Platform Banners (Present only in legacy versions): BannerBox 2.1
Platform Media: System Media - Stencil Platform Images 1.0.
Platform Images: COLORFUL Hardware PNG media (1x1) 1.1
Finally, many thanks to @y2guru for the Community Theme Creator. While this version no longer uses the CTC, I would have never started on this journey, nor gotten nearly as far, without it.

PSGC +Arcade
By The Papaw
PSGC +Arcade is about the same as PSGC with an Arcade twist. The PSGC +Arcade themes have been updated with even more custom made Platform/Playlist backgrounds, Audio Clips and Controllers. New screenshots (1-12 basic theme 13-26 SE version) (see changelog below for all the info). PSGC was made to match one of my themes (skins) done for the PSMC media player.
PSGC +Arcade is a Netflix type theme that is great for a home theater experience. The custom colorful fanart backgrounds transition to random Platform/Game artwork on the left side of the screen and to Platform/Playlist/Game video snaps on the right side of the screen after a couple seconds.
SE versions include all the bells and whistles; multiple views, textured backgrounds. SE users also have available to them: 13 platform/playlist audio packs, the platform/playlist video snaps, choice of backgrounds, custom badges that can be used in Launchbox, sound packs, custom made playlists used in the videos, and more.
