CoinOP is a BigBox theme based on Pezley's arcade theme concept. It's my take on a 1080p version of it.
This theme is specifically designed to be used with an Arcade build, for 4:3 video snaps, and marquees.
Want to make your own Marquee? Use this file for an example:
Make sure you right click the zip file, choose properties, and unblock the file.
Then extract the CoinOP directory into the Launchbox\Themes folder.
This theme comes with a number of views:
- Vertical Platform View 1
- Vertical Games Wheel 1 - basic view with animated Game Graphic (png/gif)
- Text Games View - basic text view with animated Game Graphic (png/gif)
Each game can have its own unique Game Graphic. This graphic will animate next to the arcade. Each game can only have 1 graphic.
There are 3 rules to making the Game Graphic appear in the theme:
1. The file name needs to match the Launchbox Database ID number of the game.
2. The file can be either PNG or GIF (allowing for animated GIFs).
3. The file needs to be located in the following directory: Launchbox\Themes\CoinOP\Media\GameGraphics\[Launchbox DB ID].png
To find the LaunchBox DB ID, you must first have the game in your gaming library. Open up LaunchBox and search for the game. Right click the game and choose Edit. The LaunchBox DB ID number will be located in the top right.
