Hi all, Thought I'd open a new thread for this hotfix release. This one will be short-lived as we want to get this hotfix out as soon as we can, but we will be able to hopefully track better beta specific feedback here. Beta 1 came out a week a bit ago that addressed: Fixed: Big Box no longer crashes on launch for systems with unstable hardware video decoding, especially on some RTX 30 series cards and certain integrated GPUs Fixed: Custom theme video controls now function correctly with the FFMPEG engine, preventing crashes in affected themes Beta 2 has now been put out with the following: Improvement: The Storefront Manager now opens instantly, with login checks handled in the background instead of delaying the window Improvement: Startup Videos and Theme Manager previews now properly follow your selected video engine setting Improvement: You can now launch a game directly from the Game Discovery Center using a keyboard or controller mapping Improvement: All HTTP calls have been upgraded to HTTPS for improved security and reliability Fixed: FFMPEG no longer leaves videos running in the background after launching a game under certain situations Fixed: Music playback is now smoother and less prone to stuttering Fixed: Music compatibility has been improved across more audio file types Fixed: When videos were set to start after a short delay, their audio would overlap with the game music instead of replacing it as expected Fixed: Transitions will no longer trigger unexpectedly when returning from a game Fixed: Badge changes from media packs now apply correctly without needing to restart LaunchBox or Big Box Beta 3: Improvement: D-Input controllers such as DualSense, DualShock, and Nintendo Pro controllers should now have right analog stick support Improvement: You can now launch a game directly from the Game Discovery Center using a keyboard or controller mapping Improvement: When importing ROMs during the Welcome Wizard, LaunchBox now sets the platform s Game Folder to the folder you imported from, instead of using the default location Improvement: The new Auto-Import Media settings are now properly respected during realtime scans Improvement: Unselecting all image types during the Welcome Wizard is now more accurately respected during first-time imports Fixed: A crash has been resolved when multiple media imports happen at the same time Fixed: When videos were set to start after a short delay, their audio would overlap with the game music instead of replacing it as expected Fixed: Custom theme video controls now function correctly with the FFMPEG engine, preventing crashes in affected themes Fixed: The Welcome Wizard s ROM import process now better mirrors the in-app importer by combining games and filtering out unwanted files Fixed: Games in the Image Grid now always display their correct and up-to-date artwork, even in rare cases where images previously failed to appear Fixed: Custom platform names during import are now more reliably scraped with the correct platform values Things to help test with: If you were affected with the inability to access specific websites using the http protocol and you were finding certain third party services were unable to connect through LaunchBox, it would be nice if you could re-test and see if beta 2 fixes that for you. Users that run Big Box with Background music, Platform specific music, Game music, and Videos, this is the time to test all the different areas in Big Box and see if things are back to how they were before the last update. If you were experiencing issues entering into the Theme Manager window, we could use confirmation that you are no longer experiencing that.6 points

After 2 years of effort we here at EmuMovies have finally completely re-recorded and remade the complete MAME video snap set. The previous set had its roots going back 16 years and things look so much better now. The new videos are available in 1080p, 480p and 240p sizes depending on your use case and are available on the website in 240p quality and on our FTP and Sync services in all quality levels. Thanks to our internal team for helping to get all these done, edited and available. We will keep posting updates to our sync and ftp services monthly as new titles come out (we are working on another update right now) but if we don't just stop and announce our progress nobody will know! So please take a moment and refresh your video snaps, you will be glad you did. Thanks to all our supporters and front-ends that keep us going every month and a huge shout out to Launchbox for their 11 years of partnership. Enjoy the content everyone.

Version 1.00 - FINAL
30 downloads
DESCRIPTION: Hello everybody, I want to start by wishing all of you a festive month of October. Ahhhhh....I forgot what to write here. Umm, October is one of my favorite months, the whole family joins in on some good ol scares and such. Spooky movies, hay rides, you name it we do it. Really, this all started when I felt discouraged that I couldn't add more holiday stuff to one of my other themes. Since that one is solely focused on my game collection, it left little room to be truly frightful with the addon. So I thought, I'll just make another theme made just for Halloween. I got the idea from many other theme devs here that have made novelty themes of their own. I figured why not take a stab at a novelty BigBox Halloween theme myself this year, it started off harmless enough but snowballed into something else along the way. I planned to make a simple thing, but alas I cannot. Everything I touch turns into a huge thing, every time, never fails. This theme is no exception, it's a monster. It's packed with all kinds of creepy bits and bobs. 17 Custom edited movie clips with jump scares added! (by me so don't expect anything too spectacular haha, still cool tho) Bonus videos for those that can make it through the entire clip! (for some views) Bonus view with over 100+ old Halloween commercials, movie trailers, creepy tv intros, etc, that play randomly on a old beat up tv in the Crypt. Totally immersive Commercial room, has by the hour day/night cycle and other secrets. Hidden stuff all over. Sometimes watching a whole video deems a reward. It's a mystery. Totally immersive Halloween experience. Designed to give you a fright! a scare! a laugh! and a scream! THIS THEME ONLY WORKS ON HALLOWEEN DAY!!!!! IF YOU WANT TO USE THIS THEME ON A DAY THAT ISN'T HALLOWEEN, REFER TO THE UNLOCK METHOD IN THE SPOILER BELOW. THIS IS JUST A NOVELTY GAG THEME, YOU CAN SAFELY DELETE IT ONCE YOUR DONE WITH IT. Do not worry, I didn't add anything too graphic. No people getting torn apart, ripped open, or anything with too much gore. There is cussing, blood, weird stuff, creep, spook, alot of funny humor, nothing that would be deemed highly inappropriate. I know your looking at that movie list and thinking, did he really post clips from silent hill pyramid head? I did, but I heavily modified alot of the clips they are not what your used to watching. I removed things, cut stuff out, all that stuff. Its safe, I promise. Scary, but safe. That being said, it's not for the kiddies. I won't tell you what to let your kids watch, but you have been warned. I added parental advisory logos to anything with cussing, or sometimes because of zombie stuff or blood. THIS THEME CONTAINS JUMP SCARES, AND ALL AROUND CREEPY THINGS. DO NOT USE THIS THEME IF YOU HAVE A HEART CONDITION, OR ANY OTHER HEALTH RELATED ISSUES THAT MAKE IT SO A JUMP SCARE MIGHT HURT YOU!!! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!! VIEW DESCRIPTIONS: HOW DO I USE THIS: Install it just like a normal BigBox theme. It's not designed to be functional, it's just a gag theme. Basically, you switch to a view and it plays a clip I edited. Afterwards there are sometimes more videos, funny stuff, etc. Its just a jump scare player with a fancy overlay. If the theme doesn't boot directly into Platform View 1 when started, hit your view hotkey and switch to it. That's the main menu. It should boot to that by default, but it loads whatever view you quit on so it changes. It also sometimes loads another theme if you have "remember separate view for each platform" enabled. When that happens just hit your theme hotkey and switch to this theme. HOW DO I USE THIS THEME WHEN ITS NOT HALLOWEEN? PATREON: KingSlayer420 Patreon CREDITS: y2guru - For making CTC! love this app!

Yes the DS love is nice to see. I am still going through many of the North American titles for DS. There are close to 1700 games (a lot of them are hardly games tho, like the LEARN COOKING WITH A DS STYLUS or MAKE-OVER DIVA 27!. lol DS is fairly recent, you think Nintendo learned its lesson with the original NES and bloatware games. I am creating logos when and where I can. But of course I always search out clear logos on the games db first, and www.steamgriddb.com will have logos if the game is fairly recent and popular. And also a google image search. The thing that sucks about DS is there was never a completed 400x175 wheel art set back in the Hyperspin days. I wanted to show off the last logo I made, and it was a logo with swirlys which I am never good at. The logo in the games database is there, but its kinda crappy and its the wrong color. I made this and it was fairly easy. It looks acceptable, but under a microscope its probably awful. lol I didnt add the drop shadow or the sparklies, which I dont like included in any logos. I feel like the end user can add those later if desired pretty easily. That was a simply Magic Wand Tool job, but of course the logo was upscaled first, and then the image size taken down a bit which hides a lot. I always disliked and dreaded making clear logos, but I am getting slightly better at it. I'll never be a level 99 Master like most these logo creators in this thread.5 points

This was the first major pass at this, didn't include any kinect only games yet, live service games are of course excluded and there are quite a few others that I couldn't get to easily run that may also be mission, but it is rather complete.
