@Reevesad If you have prepared all fronts/flyers you can send it to me and I can automate the process for you and send them back again

was just going through your tutorial to start with. Will get what I need and get back to you. cheers.

 

Just finished uploading and replacing all 3D boxes to the database, added loads missing flyers, artwork and logo's, added color corrected flyers, added missing games to the database, corrected info etc. I think in total an amount of 5500 images added/replaced. So you might want to scrape your mame/arcade collection in 2 days from now (database mods will be finished by then).

First of all thanks for all the great work on these 3D boxes, super. I do have a question, is there a way to rename these boxes to there original Mame names?

I wanted to do this as well but as far as people informed me there is no automatic way of doing this.

Glad you like, if you like would you like to share your work as well?

I definitely will.....right now I'm editing wonderswan color 2d images to use ur action script ...basically will cut the top part of original 2d art to remove the swancrystal/wonderswan logo part ....and changed the color of your boxart png template from black to white....not official but I like all boxart facing the same way...the 3d boxart available everywhere is nice but facing the opposite direction and a bit angled

On a side note....it will be possible to change mame box names with a hyperspin tool...its not 100% perfect but I ran a quick test and many were renamed correctly....some will need to still be renamed by ticking a box with the corresponding boxart name to match the rom description  ..ti be 100% will take time but not as much as doing it 1 by 1

Released Just now

Version 2.2

•  Added "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time" box as it was named to the european Hero turtles instead of Ninja in the packs.
•  Added previously missing Konami's 'The Main Event', two versions.
•  Boxes have been uploaded to the database as well.

Great work sir  

@Mr. RetroLust Can you create a Root Beer Tapper and Pirate Pets box? I attached the flyer and the Root Beer Tapper logo is located here: https://logos.fandom.com/wiki/Root_Beer_Tapper

Can't find a Pirate Pete logo though. ?

Awesome!! Both look very nice and great job with the Pirate Pete logo on the spine! Thanks!! ?

Hey @Mr. RetroLust I was just trying to download the full pack of these from emumovies as its easier to get one zip rather than multiples, but there is something wrong. The file is only 53.74mb,

and when unzipped 7zip throws a ton of errors of missing files and i actually end up with only 49 covers.

Thanks for noticing, the total zip should be around 4gb, I didnt have any errors while uploading so I suspect there's something wrong with emumovies @Charco do you know what could be wrong?

Edit: Sorry Charco I ment @circo lol

Lmao I just corrctd it while you posted it at the same time

These aren't actually available in emumovies sync currently as it needs to have the base naming fixed for it to work correctly.  As far as I know it was uploaded to the site and is available on the site, but it already uses the naming that launchbox renames it to however it won't actually scrape correctly with those file names, they need to be the actual rom names.  However you can manually install them by downloading from website and manually putting in proper artwork directory.

Thanks @circo but that is the issue, the zip on the website is incorrect. The file page says the zip contains 3799 files, but in reality its only 53.74mb and only contains 49 images.

https://emumovies.com/files/file/3755-arcade-3d-boxes-20/

Yep and it should be around 4gb as well, took some time to upload the complete file as well so I guess it's a server thing or something?

Oh I see, yeah checked the logs and the upload failed.  That's why we have this note on the submissions page

Packs or upload with multi part files should be compressed, If the total upload is over 500MB please use multi part rar files.

Alternatively if you want to throw it up on the ftp I can easily package it for you so it works.

Thanks for explaining, I think it might be better to delete it until I find someone who can convert them to mame naming as it hasn't much purpose like this anyway, I can find the edit details button but no delete button though.

@Mr. RetroLust I am new here, but I could take on the task of converting them to the MAME naming convention in my spare time. I've been converting some of them already for my gaming image. It will take a while to do all of them though since there are close to 3,800 images.

I do have another request for you...I noticed on the Make Trax box that you used the Japanese Crush Roller flyer. I found a couple of Make Trax flyers online if you have a chance to create 3D boxes for them. The logo in the LaunchBox database will be good for the side.
