Thanks for the update @Mr. RetroLust

I'm a little confused on which are the updates though.  Are the new ones the 5, 0-Z_UPDATE_PACK.zips?

 

 

The newest one is on the bottom of the list.

How many boxes update?

Brilliant thanks

Fantastic boxart. Thanks 👍

Pity we can't view them anymore in BigBox Coverflow anymore, since the new 3D boxart was implemented (unless I am missing something)

It looks like they have just stopped 3D models from being shown in Coverflow, so basically if you use Coverflow on any theme in BigBox,  3D boxes (or any boxes that are not completely square or rectangular are totally useless.

You can turn it off in BB settings under views, it displays the semi 3D boxes like it used to for me.

I just tried that and that just displays 2D boxart if you untick that option ?

Are you saying these 3D boxes that are in the Box - 3D folder will display as is in Coverflow ?

In my theme Neon Deluxe arcade I see the old (semi) 3d boxes now, I cant remember if I hard coded it to this image type in this theme or if I set it by using the key/controller binding for "change view" or named  something of that nature, it'll allow you to change image categories on the fly in certain views.

Yes I see it working ok in your theme, I was using CriticalZoneV2 - BlueBox and it won't work on that or a few others.

Hopefully they will add an option per system one day so we can just disable it on certain systems.

Thanks for info 👍

Hi @Mr. RetroLust love your work!

May you be able to do Mazan: Flash of the Blade? I wanted to replace my NAOMI boxarts with yours.

Unfortunately, I don't have Photoshop to use the tools or capability to do so. Alas. the universe has willed I become a programmer. 😅

Glad you like  Not sure if you've seen this but I did a complete set for naomi in another style (in case you like) https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/file/4109-mr-retrolusts-sega-naomi-3d-boxes/

Here's the box:

Hey @Mr. RetroLust thanks so much for still being around to fill in requests. The Mazan box is great!

I found the NAOMI 2 set you did recently and I'm using that. Didn't know you had the NAOMI set too. Thanks for letting me know, now my NAOMI/2 sets match. ☺️

How do I apply the 23 files attached? Do some of them make others unnecessary? Do I need to do them all in a particular order?

I don't remember if some make others unnecessary as its been aome years but the normal way is first unpack the packs in alphabetical order and then the update packs and loose files, if it needs overwriting then you can do so. You can skip the source and tutorial file. If you still miss boxes after this you can try using the media downloader which takes boxes from the LB database as others have made boxes and uploaded them there as well.

What I did was download all files (packs and loose) and combine them all in a single folder, overwriting old files with new ones.

Amazing work - thank you. Saved me sooo much time and they look fantastic.

@Mr. RetroLust This is missing DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou so i made my own box below in the exact same style and res. Feel free to use it if you like. MAME removed support for this game due to a cease and desist email, but FinalBurn Neo will play it and so will custom versions of MAME.

It must take you an absurd amount of hours to make these box sets! I really appreciate all the time and effort, especially the level of quality. The one thing i'd ask is if you could do slightly higher res versions in the future being as they look a little blurry on 5K monitors. It will also future proof them.

Thanks I'll add it to the collection! Glad you like them I'm not planning to redo them in a higher resolution, takes (took) too much time.

I'm getting an error when trying to add the logo to the box with the ImageMagic bat file and no image is created. Could you look into this, please?
 

magick: no decode delegate for this image format `PNG' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/746.

Have you tried reinstalling ImageMagick? Something may have stepped on a dependent library/file.

I did. I also tried the x86 version. No luck.

Sorry bro I can't help you out with that, I don't use this software anymore for quite some years.
