About This File

This theme is a port of the HyperSpin Unified Widescreen Megatheme project, which was originally started by gibbawho and continued by many other talented artists over the years. It’s supposed to bring a unified look (hence the name) across all platforms while giving every platform it’s own individual touch.

I’ve tried to stay very close to the original look and feel but also took some creative freedom, especially when it comes to the new fading info panel at the bottom of the screen.
This theme was designed for 16:9 screens and display resolutions only. Big Box will automatically scale itself to a 16:9 aspect ratio when you use a different aspect ratio on your machine.

 

Features:

  • Individual Artwork for a lot of different platforms and playlists + some alternatives you can choose from
  • Matches with the Unified platform video set from EmuMovies
  • Fully animated wheel pointer
  • Spinning discs for disc-based platforms
  • Various other custom animations
  • Templates to build your own platform artwork are included as .psd files
  • Brings a small taste of the HyperSpin feeling to your Big Box setup

 

Currently featured Views:

  • Games Text List View: 3D Box
  • Games Vertical Wheel View 1: 3D Box
  • Games Vertical Wheel View 2: 3D Box + static cart/disc
  • Games Vertical Wheel View 3: 3D Box + rotating disc
  • Games Vertical Wheel View 4: Fullscreen video

 

  • Platform Vertical Wheel View 1: Fullscreen video + scrolling text
  • Platform Vertical Wheel View 2: Fullscreen video without scrolling text

More Views are planned, so stay tuned.

The theme will also display a default artwork for Platforms/Playlists which are not yet covered or wrongly named.

 

How to install:

This theme only works on LaunchBox version 9.4 or higher!

  1. Just download the archive and extract it to:  “..\LaunchBox\Themes\”
  2. Go to the “Plugins” folder inside of the extracted folder and right-click on the .dll file. Choose Properties -> Click on “Unblock” at the bottom of the window. Close the window. If the "Unblock" button isn't there than you are already good to go.
  3. Open the Options menu in Big Box -> go to “Views” and change the Theme to "Unified".
  4. Change the “Games List View” and “Platforms List View” to one of the currently featured Views that are listed above.
  5. Make sure that in the Big Box Options -> Views –> “Show Games List Title” is enabled.

Info: Never rename the theme folder! The theme folder has to be named exactly "Unified" or the theme won't work properly! (that's btw. an universal tip for all other themes as well)

 

Known issues:

The logo of the Platform/Playlist and the individual video border don't show up in the Game Details screen and the theme displays the generic Big Box logo and metallic video border instead when it gets opened through any other Games View than the Text List View.

 

Tips for tweaking your LaunchBox setup for this theme:

  • In LaunchBox: Tools -> Options -> Cart Front Priorities -> Select all Cart and Disc related entries, deselect everything else.
  • In Big Box: Options ->Transitions -> Change "Game Image/Video Transition” to “Fade”
  • In Big Box: To avoid spinning cart art go to: Options -> Views -> Make sure that „Remember separate View for each platform” is checked. Than go either to the Keyboard Mappings or the Controller Buttons settings and set up a key/button for “Switch View”. Now you can go back to your platforms and switch the games Views for each platform individually on the fly.
  • Use the Unified Platform videos from EmuMovies for an overall uniform look. You can either download them as free user from the EmuMovies website or if you are an EmuMovies premium user you can get them directly through LaunchBox under: Tools -> "Download Platform/Playlist Theme Videos".

 

Individual platform artwork not showing up?:

The media files that are inside the “..\LaunchBox\Themes\Unified\Images\Theme\..” folder have to be named exactly like your platforms inside LaunchBox. I've went with the HyperList/RocketLauncher naming conventions for the filenames in this package.

If Big Box doesn’t show any individual artwork for a system that is listed above you may need to manually rename the relevant files for that platform in all four sub-folders.

Also make sure that in the Big Box Options -> Views –> “Show Games List Title” is enabled!

 

Discs are not spinning / showing up?:

Make sure you have the right Games List View selected and Disc images in your Cart Image Priorities enabled (see the tips section of this download description).


Thanks and Credits:

- Updated: The sizes of the Box and Cart/Disc Art were slightly changed throughout all Views

Well I’m stumped, I’ve reset big box settings and downloaded the theme again.

 

all I get is my platform video 

6A04E6D1-7348-4CD4-A437-CABF552BA92F.jpeg

You could try updating the images so that the Unified ones appear, in this way: in BigBox go to Options -> Image Cache and Update all the images, it's just a suggestion that you could try

Unfortunately no, the Unfied Artwork isn't related to the image cache, so refreshing that won't work.

How does it look for you when you enter the platform?

Not getting the theme in the platforms either

What do you mean with either? Your platform view looks exactly like it is supposed to look like. It shows the platform video in fullscreen. If you want the matching platform video for the theme you’ll have to download the Unified platform videos from EmuMovies like I’ve described it in the tips section of the download description. They don't come with the theme itself.

Regarding your Games Views. I have the feeling that you still have the TextList View selected. Is that the case? Because when you look at the featured Views list you'll see that this one isn’t themed at the moment. You’ll have to switch the View to one of the Vertical Wheel Views. All described in the download description how you do that.

Sorry feel like a complete dumb ass, I didn’t have the emu themed videos. I thought the surrounds to the platforms were backgrounds and you could choose which video you wanted in the platforms preview video.

Thanks for your help and hard work on this theme

That is the TextList View and not a Wheel View. Try to change it with a button/key like I've described in in the tips section.

That's the text list view you need to switch it.

There is a checkbox in options/views to have different views for different platforms, uncheck it then switch to the correct one and they should all be the same now.

Glad you got it all working now, in future though actually read the description for a theme if there is one as everything you have asked in here is already covered by @CriticalCid in the description, or the Tips for Tweaking section at the top of this page. :)

This is a really great theme! But is there any way to change the wheel into a vertical (not round) one? I grew tired of Hyperspin's 'flashy' round wheel several years ago :) Or, it would be nice to have the text-list with the same background as the wheels view

Maybe in the future when I’ve added all the Views that I’ve planned and I consider this theme complete. It’s just too much unnecessary work for me to support various versions of it while it’s still in development.

This is hands-down my favorite theme. It's great!

One thing I wish was different - and let me know if I'm in the minority - I wish the gameplay / video game theme boxes were a little bigger. It seems okay when just viewing gameplay footage, but it seems pretty small for the game theme videos.

I heard about that the first time, so yeah, I'm guessing you're in a minority. The Vertical Wheel 4 View is supposed to be used with game themes and the upcoming v1.1 release will also stretch these videos to fullscreen in this View like HyperSpin does, for a more authentic feeling. The video size in the other Views won't change anytime soon, sorry for that.

Hi all,

I need some help with getting this skin to fully work. I've followed the installation steps, but I've encountered a problem on the platform view.
I see a completely black screen, with on the right side, the platform wheel section and the unified pointer.

I've chosen the Platform Vertical Wheel View 2: Fullscreen video without scrolling text option in the View options menu.

And all the other settings are just like they should be, because I followed the installation steps.

When I click on one of the platform, I can see the Games Vertical Wheel View 2: 3D Box + static cart/disc correctly. 

Did I miss a step or did I do something wrong? 
I hope someone can help me, because I really love this theme!

Sounds like you don't have any platform videos, the platform view uses full screen videos as the background.

Okay I'm feeling a bit stupid now... 
Seems like you're right, because I don't have any videos in the 2 folder locations below.

Should I store the platform videos in the following location:
D:\LaunchBox\Themes\Unified\Videos\Platforms

Or here (taken the 3DS as example): 
D:\LaunchBox\Videos\Nintendo 3DS\Theme
