Arcade 3D Boxes 2.0 3.4

@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.

Thanks man, that would really be cool! Theres one thing though, some games have like 4 different boxes, maybe a good idea to take the best looking box for the main folder and the alternatives inside a subfolder. I'll convert the make trax box tomorrow, stay tuned

Yeah I noticed a few games where I named the best looking one the standard convention and the remaining ones I put a gamename-1.png, gamename-2.png, etc., but the alternate sub-folder would be better. 

I have already completed the numbered game boxes, so I will start working down the alphabet.

If u use hyperspin rom manager app, that will rename most of the boxart...all u need is a good official hyperspin mame XML, content folder (basically the folder that holds the boxart) and destination folder...once u do a scan , u can go 1by1 to make sure its correct and untick any that is mismatched...others will still need manual renaming but way better than 1by1 renaming

Version 2.4

•  Added Make Trax per request
•  3D Boxes and flyers have been uploaded to the launchbox database as well

I've almost gotten all of the game boxes converted to the MAME naming scheme. All I have to do are the S and T games list, then I will go over them to make sure I didn't miss any before zipping them up. I should be done by the end of the week at most and possibly by Wednesday. I have to find a way to upload them.

Awesome that went fast bro! You could upload them to emumovies but keep this in mind, quote: "Packs or upload with multi part files should be compressed, If the total upload is over 500MB please use multi part rar files."

@Mr. RetroLust The conversion is complete!!!! 

I do have an account at Emumovies, but it's only the standard non-pay version. ? However, I could create a Bittorrent file and attach that to a DM so you can download the zip files and get them uploaded to the Launchbox FTP. I don't keep the laptop where the files are stored powered on all the time, but if I know when you are available for a couple of hours I would make sure it's on.

I named the 5 zip files "Arcade_3D_Boxes_2.5_-_xxxx" with the xxxx being the same as you have listed in the download link. I combined all of the update packs, but didn't include the tutorial file. Each folder in the zip files have a separate sub-folder of the alternate artwork with the naming convention gamename-alt1, alt2, etc. There were some boxarts that had one name but the box was a different name (like the Make Trax/Crush Roller box) that I either named the proper MAME name or if the box was identical to another named box I removed it.

Holy cow you work fast brother! Sounds really good! Could you send it via https://wetransfer.com/ ? You can upload 2gb at a time with this so I think you only have to upload 2 zips? I'll send you my email address in pm to send it to, I'll make sure it gets to emumovies then

On the other hand @Cyclotrode maybe you can get a contributer account from @circo for the work you've put into this? And send it to him through emumovies ftp afterwards?

I could do it either way. With the wetransfer link I would have to send 1 of the zips that's 1gb then send 2 zip files in 2 separate instances that total about 1.4gb. Whatever way works for you! ?

@circo I'm almost done sending the files to @Mr. RetroLust via wetransfer, but I will still send a request.

What department would I use on the ticket?

@circo When I downloaded the files tomorrow which folder shall I upload it to on the ftp? Im still a newbie conserning the ftp structure.

@Mr. RetroLust I went ahead and started uploading the zip files to the Emumovies FTP site. I sent a PM to @circo at the Emumovies website.

Great Work. Thanks! 

Nice work. I love it. Thanks a lot!

@Mr. RetroLust Is there any chance to post a missing boxes list,  so people could contribute with media like flyers, etc. to help you with this huge work?

If not already done, i could do a missing list based on the latest MAME Romset.  

Let me know if i can help in any way.

Thanks!

I've finished this work some time ago, in the mean time I'm not using photoshop anymore but I have added the photoshop action files, instructions and other tools to create these boxes in this download section. If you like to create the missing boxes that would be great and i'll add them, if you can't but want to create a list for missing games that would be helpful as well i'm sure someone can finalize them. ?

I will do the missing list, and try to find the needed media and hope someone can use your action files to try to finish this set.

Thank you very much!

Version 2.5

•  Added list with missing 3D boxes provided by @ci2own thanks man!

Sorry to post after so long,  i was just wondering if there is any other auto 3D box makers like the one added here for other platforms as this one works great.

I have no experience with other box makers, maybe post this question as a new post somewhere in the forum i'm sure you'll get a good response

OK, thanks for the reply 👍

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?
