Honestly, I don't know. Are you using a slow drive to store LaunchBox and its media? A network drive?
I remind you that the design of my theme, with its large fullscreen animation, pushes XAML to its limits. (acording Microsoft's doc)

 

No, everything is on an M2 drive, so it couldn't be any faster really. Changing the views has helped speed it up, it's running much better now, if not 100%.

Honestly, you do such amazing work! Everyone in the community is greatful for what you have done here. 

Supporting you through Patreon is the lest i can do and i recommend eveyone else here to do the same!

Thanks for your answer
The first CDROM add on  for the PC Engine, was released only in Japan and came in a suitcase. Here:

Ah! I thought you were talking about interface, not hardware!  =)

Wow thank you man! It is heartwarming ! 

OMG such a beautiful theme! Love all the quirky consoles videos. This is actually the single thing that is making me explore the consoles I've never explored before despite already having full rom sets for them seeded for years and years. Something about being able to see the hardware just makes me wanna jump in! Do you anticipate adding additional obscure consoles and computers to the list in the future?

Agradecería completar las playlist faltantes, muchas gracias por su trabajo ??

Oh my God... the Commodore 64! I was so looking forward to this platform video - thanks a million, guys!!

Tried it out and the animation looks as sweet as ever, only some weird grey part of the screen keeps sliding in from the left - picture attached.  Is there anything I can do about it? Every other platform displays the correct colour in fullscreen.

Thanks for any help in advance.

@williambroad  In fact, I have to code each color in the theme. Hard to update the theme at each video release... no way !

To facilitate this, I uploaded the color file alone yesterday.
you will find it on the "download" button of the main theme page. 
ColorCode_update_2021-03-02.zip

The .ZIP archive contains 2 files which replace those present in your :
   \\ LaunchBox \ Themes \ Colorful - xxx \ Plugins \ Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_7a \ AssemblyConfig \ ...

Could you add ScummVM? Thanks!

Awesome theme!

Would you be open to requests for your to-do lists?

If so, I'd like to request these:

Categories: Developers, Genres, Magazines, Hacks, and Years.  For Years, I imagine the Years category, then playlists under that for 1970's, 1980's, etc...

Platforms: PSP Mini, GCE Vectrix, Sega Pico, Atari ST, ScumVM, Windows 3x

Hello @viking I absolutely love your platform artwork and videos! It has inspired me to create my own theme in Community Theme Creator using your artwork. I just purchased the lifetime EmuMovies subscription to get to your H265 content

Quote

4K | 3840x2160 | mp4 h265 AAC   (only on EmuMovies FTP)

but I can't seem to find it. Would you mind posting the locations of your EmuMovies FTP content, please? Thank you very much!

Hi all ! Sorry for my late response. Health concerns. 

I will first finish v.2.0 of the theme before return to videos.
I take your suggestions but I dont know yet the order.

@Knowcontrol : Strange, my EmuMovies username no longer works and neither does the password recovery !! I no longer have access to the site or to the FTP !!!!
I don't know where the problem is coming from. I will try to send them an email.
For the location, I put the path in the initial post:  FTP ://Upload Here/_Video Snap Submissions/COLORFUL Platform Video Set/

I was wondering if you ever plan to include a platform video for Sony Playstation 4? I know there's no way to emulate it that well on PC yet but I like to have my collection ready beforehand. Would be really nice for all platforms to have a consistent format.

Hi,

any plan on these following systems?

Epoch Super Cassette Vision

NEC PC Engine

Sharp X68000

Thanks for your work!

No problem. I noticed a bunch of errors in the PC Engine and PC Engine CD videos so I just reuploaded fixed versions, and deleted the bad ones. Be sure to redownload those two videos.

Great videos! Could you please do ScummVM, GCE Vectrex & Android TV?

 

Thanks!

Amazing videos! And another vote for Scummvm ?

@modjoo is working on it...

 

Hey, @viking,  thanks for not forgetting the PC Engine CD case.  ?

As I've said before, Colorful will be my main theme. I can't wait to use it when we have all theme features available.

If I may say so, I see that latest videos have fewer objects and little TV variation. The first ones are more worked, with more elements on the screen. I know there are also other people in the community working to help build resources. But I think everyone should follow the same quality line. Maybe it's not a bad idea to bring objects closer together on the screen, in case there aren't many elements to show.

In any case, I want to thank everyone involved for their efforts.

Thanks a lot!

Thx @soqueroeu   =)

My last video drop  is only made by me. Otherwise, I would specified the credits.

About detail level : 
It's very platform dependent. For example smartphones: no cartridge, no iconic gaming accessory. The same goes for very old computers that have little or no specific gaming accessories.
I have other constraint to always keep in mind. For example, everything must stay in a central square to be used in 4:3 or as a banner set. So no pixel other than flat color on the sides. etc ...
I also try to keep a fake sort of scale. At least by category. That's why some platform seems small and lost in space.
All these videos are to be placed in a theme context. They are rarely used alone in fullscreen.

But if I forgot an iconic accessory, please tell me which one. I can update my videos =)
(the goal remains to cover ALL the platforms, not to keep repeating the same ones)

Hi Guys!
I remember seeing a video for Mega Drive JP somewhere. Where is it?

Great Job!
Would it be possible to download the PSDs of the newly added systems? Such as NEC PC Engine.

I searched for them in the Colorful Resources thread, but I can't find them.

 

 Thanks

Yes, I'll add them today (French time zone)  =)

EDIT: @Mapsen ok done

Hi, thank you very much for sharing this theme 😍.

Currently the only theme that suits my needs.

I have few suggestions, and of course its up to u to take it or leave it, but I would prefer 2 things:

1- Adding more to the view of all platforms "like the platform console in a watermark for example" while scrolling throw others "Not the cinematic view of each platform which is incredible". I hope u got my point.

2- Placing the game lists up to the left rather than in the middle left screen.

Again, thank u for sharing it, Its really good, and its one of the best if not the best so far.

Thanks 😊
