See What You're Missing™ Compare games in your platforms against what's listed in the LaunchBox Games Database See which platforms are in the Games Database that are not in your collection Filter out games by Release Type, Genre and Co-op. Import placeholders (see Game Placeholders below) into to a new platform, those platforms or games not found. (optionally, import missing game placeholders into your existing platform) Output the results to a tab-delimited text file. Requires LaunchBox 13.19 or newer Installing; Copy the contents of the zip file into your /Plugins/ folder e.g. D:\LaunchBox\Plugins\LBDBcomparer\LBDBcomparer.dll Using: In the Tools menu, select LaunchBox Games Database - Game Comparer Select a platform to compare. (the list excludes platforms you've imported using Add Missing Games to NEW platform [see below]) This will show games listed in the database for this platform that are not found in the selected platform. (this searches and compares by database ID) Click the games ID # to open the LaunchBox Games Database to that game. Other things: Toggle Local games NOT in Database This shows your games that either don't have an associated LaunchBox database ID # or their ID # is not in the database for the selected platform. Toggle Missing Platforms This show database platforms not found in your collection. Search is done by Name Only. Exact match (but Ignore Case). Does not cross-check the platforms Scrape-As value. Does not exclude platforms you've imported using Add Missing Games to NEW platform (see below). Settings: (click the gear icon) Show only games that match the criteria (boxes that are checked). Filter by Release Type, Genre and/or Co-op. Click Save and Close to save the selected filters and close the settings window. Click Reset All, Save and Close to reset all filters to the defaults, save and close the settings window. Click the Close icon to close the window without saving and changes. The column headers will be highlighted Orange if any filters are set for that column. Add/Import options: Add Missing Games to NEW platform This will create a new platform named platform_name (M) e.g. Atari 2600 (M) Add game placeholders of games listed in the datagrid (filtered or otherwise) to the new platform. Re-running it will essentially recreate the platform based on the items in the datagrid. Add missing games to selected platform (not recommended) This will import game placeholders into your existing platform for games listed in the datagrid (filtered or otherwise). Game Placeholders: The imported game placeholders will have set their Title LBDB-ID Broken=True Installed=False With Installed=False, you can set Arrange By and choose Installed. But you can't Filter by it (nor Broken) You can also, on the left panel select View Installed [vs. e.g. Platform Categoy] and then select the No option. This can be helpful if you decide to add them to your existing platform. "Broken" can be used to hide the placeholders. Output Results to A Text File: This will output the results to a tab-delimited text file. The file will be named platform_name (missingGames_count).txt and gets created in /Output/ under this plugins folder. If it's a platform missing from your collection, the filename will be platform_name (M) (missingGames_count).txt e.g. D:\LaunchBox\Plugins\LBDBcomparer\Output\Atari 2600 (137).txt D:\LaunchBox\Plugins\LBDBcomparer\Output\Atari 2600 (M) (137).txt Click the view file icon to view the created file. Click the open folder icon to open you Windows Explorer to the /Output/ folder Notes: This will not check your games that are Additional Versions (Additional Apps). Additional Versions don't contain a LaunchBox database ID # to compare against. It "the numbers don't add up", check your platform for duplicates. If an update is available, the Info icon will flash red. Click it to find a link to the downloads page.

A new startup video 4 u all Hi it's been quite a while .... back to celebrate 12 years of the best front-end ever. Hope everyone is doing great , greetings from the past. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5iaHunid5o

DESCRIPTION: I am quite possibly the biggest Coverbox fan in these forums, I've loved it since the first day I used it. It was my go to for over a year of retro gaming. After using it for a while I started to notice areas that could be improved upon, eventually leading to me wanting to do something about it. After getting permission from Faeran I started adding in all the stuff I wished Coverbox had. Its got all the flashy stuff of a modern theme but still retains that sweet warm glow of Coverbox. After a couple of years I started to feel the same way about my old fragments, all the new stuff Dave was adding to the CTC was missing from those old fragments. Now, here I am again doing that same thing. Redoing the coverbox views, its become my 2nd hobby. I also have an obsession with adding more and more to my gaming library, sometimes I just sit and look through it for hours and never play anything. I like to tinker endlessly with the games, this entire theme from the beginning was designed around my obsessive compulsive habits. You might notice that I take it way too far with the small details, this is because of my ocd, and will likely never change as it's part of who I am. I spent many months listening to what you guys wanted from the previous themes, I took all that information and mashed it together into what you see here. Something for everybody. It's been a long road, I've learned alot over the years and finally feel like I can bring my vision to life. Please keep in mind this is still a very early version of the theme, stick with me while I polish up and add more game list views. To any newcomers, do not be scared off by the massive overload of information in this thread! It works out of the box with no extra work required. It works without installing any of the addons, or adding any custom options. It adapts to what you have installed and it adapts to what media you have. This will only improve as time goes by and people help me test the logic, eventually it will adapt to anything you throw at it. If you want to use all the custom options it can "seem" complex when in fact it's very simple. Making it was not, but using it should be. The custom options are for advanced users that want more out of their game lists. Give it a try, it might be your new go-to theme. Be sure to read the guides I wrote below to get the most out of this theme. Especially the one about how to change global settings! FILE DESCRIPTION: Coverbox Remastered v2.XX.zip - This is the most current version of Coverbox Remastered. Coverbox Remastered - BGM Addon.zip - This is a addon for Coverbox Remastered v2.XX. It adds background music support. It will not work with the old fragments version! Coverbox Remastered - BG Videos Addon.zip - This is a addon for Coverbox Remastered v2.XX.

It contains all the custom options for the game list views Coverbox Fragments (v1.XX) OLD.zip - This is the old Coverbox Fragments project I did a few years ago. This might get removed after I'm finished remastering all of them. FEATURES: Totally Re-Remastered Coverbox views Even more details Insane amount of logic added View box back when in game details in 2D or 3D mode! On-the-fly region changes to UI, cases, logos, buttons, icons, even the background! Many many custom options, so many options. Now with a ton of new customization options! Most of the game views allow you to easily customize them Tons of bonus media is now supported. You can add avatars, official icons, banners, xmb waves, change the color of handhelds, ui themes, the list goes on and on. Make it yours. Cart & disc animations! You can turn them on/off now with the global settings! Working battery levels for portable bigbox users, for all views. Handheld's in game list view even reflect real charge levels! Now with a set of Global Settings so you can get your Coverbox just right Seamless game details menu (just like CoverBox!) Absolutely ridiculous amount of ways to customize this theme. Like seriously man, you won't find anything with more options. Extend your gaming library even further with detailed information on the cover and icon dock, via metadata and custom fields. The tinkering continues well after your setup is complete. Easy to modify! Almost all assets are layered for added flexibility! Don't like a logo I added? root around in the media folder and delete it, edit it, change the color, modify anything you want! EXTREMELY detailed box art options More than just a cover! Under the hood each cover is a fully constructed box. Complete with inlay, disc, cart, wrapper, everything. When missing media happens, what you see underneath feels authentic. Custom startup & pause themes (still working on them for v2) Tremendous amount of hidden detail, some of which you won't even notice until you use it for a while, or add certain games to your collection. Now with Addon Support! Adapts immediately to what you have installed, and what you don't. Background Videos are now installed as a addon!

EXTRAS: (OLD STARTUP/PAUSE STUFF) NEW ONES NOT READY YET These are the OLD startup/pause themes from Coverbox Fragments, they work but won't match the new Coverbox Remastered version. I'm still working on them and I'm way behind on it, I only have maybe 2 finished. I'll get to these at some point they are a big part of the theme, and wont be forgotten. Coverbox - Fragments Startup Themes Coverbox - Fragments Pause Themes *Installing these old versions will NOT reflect the install status on the Settings View like the new versions. REMASTERED PLATFORMS: 19 Nintendo Entertainment System (Remastered) Nintendo Famicom Nintendo Famicom Disk System Super Nintendo Super Famicom Nintendo 64 Nintendo 64DD Nintendo Gamecube Nintendo Wii Nintendo WiiU Nintendo Switch Nintendo Gameboy (Remastered) Nintendo Gameboy Color (Remastered) Nintendo Gameboy Advance (Remastered) Nintendo Super Gameboy Nintendo DS (Remastered) Nintendo DSi Nintendo 3DS (Remastered) Sony Playstation (Remastered) Sony PocketStation Sony Net Yaroze Sony Playstation 2 (Remastered) Sony Playstation 3 (Remastered) Sony PSP (Remastered) Sega Game Gear Sega Master System Sega Genesis Sega Saturn Sega Dreamcast MS-DOS Microsoft XBox (Remastered) Microsoft Xbox 360 (Remastered) and more...once I get all caught up. Any platform in red has not been ported to the new system yet, trying to enter the game list for any platform in red will fallback to the default theme. ICON DOCK LEGEND: I added new icon docks to all of the remastered game list themes. These usually are consistent between platforms (with a few exceptions). They are all usually the same unless the platform has icons for that type of thing already, then i use those instead. Ill list what the icons mean below: - game has additional applications - game is favorited - game is completed - game has achievements - game is broken - game has manual - game has game save - game has lightgun support (only if platform supports it) - game has mouse support (only if platform supports it) - game has keyboard support (only if platform supports it) *other values exist and are usually tied to the Custom Fields stuff. DLC, adhoc, wifi, etc sometimes have dock icons. EARLY ACCESS PROGRESS: Remaster all the fragment game list views (19/30) Remaster the Start/Shutdown themes for all platforms (2/30) Remaster Pause Themes (2/30) Make more Platform views (1/4) Finish Marquees GUIDES: READ THEM!!!!

(9/16/25) EDITING THE THEME: WANT TO HELP? PATREON: Become a member of my Patreon, a place where you can help keep me up late by buying me Starbucks. It's no longer a place of paywall, I don't even spend alot of time there it's just a place for people to donate to my long nights of theming. I spend alot of time in my gaming room making these themes, if you feel that using these themes has brought you $3 worth of joy, please consider donating to my coffee pot. Any person that donates (even just once) will get their name permanently listed in the "Supporter" section on the settings page of this theme. You can subscribe then immediately unsubscribe, it doesn't hurt my feelings. As a added bonus you can make requests and let me know how you feel about anything really. I try to post every few days and show what I've been working on, stop by and check it out! It's free. If you decide to become a member of my super secret club, I will listen to your stories, requests, and criticism.

I will say...I don't do this for money. I am grateful for every dollar, but....I really WILL spend your money on fast food and coffee. If you don't buy it for me, I buy it myself lol. I stay up late regardless, and I will make these whether people pay me or not. I think it's fun, making these. It's another way for me to re-live these platforms aside from browsing the game lists (which also bring me joy). I spend a ton of time reading about the platforms, watching videos, all kinds of fun stuff. I don't think of it as a job, I WANT to make them, for free even. I jump at the chance to squash bugs because I truly want this to be the best I can possibly make it, to pay proper homage to the original Coverbox and also for anybody that enjoys Coverbox as much as I do. I may not make alot of money, but, I don't need it to be happy. I have everything I need, God has blessed me with such. I prefer that you donate your money to Dave, he deserves it more so than I. Without his CTC we would have WAAAAY less themes here to choose from, this one included. It's made ENTIRELY with his CTC app, I used nothing else. I will list his Patreon page below with mine. Again, I'm grateful for all of you that choose to share your snack money with me, and also with Dave.

Very simple default boxes with MAME/Retroarch logos, similar to the Launchbox ones I posted earlier. I didn't make so many variants this time, but the included GIMP files now have some more stuff in there to work with, if anyone wants to make their own boxes with them (ex. use the plastic wrap layer, recoloring). It's not the cleanest 'template' in the world... but one can play around with it if they wish ^^; You can see a preview of what those look like in the screenshots. So far I'm content using the 'Default Boxes - [Name]' version of the files rather than the alternates just for my own use, but if get bored with them I may add more alt variants, more platforms, cart images, etc... For now, I'll just leave this here as is. Default 3D Box and Default Box folders go into Launchbox\Images\Platforms\PlatformName\ Alternatively, you can add the default image by selecting the desired platform in the left sidebar, and clicking Edit. This will create the folder automatically and copy the selected image into it. Credits: MrRetrolust for the base box images, and to the creators of the MAME/Retroarch logos 👾└(^o^)┐

Hi everyone. First of all, this is my first time sharing playlists. I hope the files are correct and work for other LB users. As a RetroAchievements user, I found it interesting to do playlists about the RA Events. These playlists include a little description about the event with the list of the games, the games for each event and their corresponding icons. There are two types of playlists: Auto, for permanents events or events whose order of play is irrelevant (The Unwanted, PlayJam or Tributes). Here, the games are added according to their ID. Manual, for events whose order of the games is relevant (AotW, Roulette or RAD). Current events are sorted from most recent to oldest and past events are sorted in reverse. The Playlists available are for 2025 events: Achievement of the Week 2025 Achievement of the Week 2025: Back To School Achievement of the Week 2025: E3 Roulette 2025 RAD 2025 The Unwanted Month 63 PlayJam Season 7: Sega CD & 32X Leaderboard of the Month 2025 Bounty Hunters Villains Satoru Iwata Memorial 75 Years of F1 RAcing Instructions: XML Files: Download and save the xml files in: ....\LaunchBox\Data\Playlists\ Icons Files: Unzip "Icon Playlists RA Events 2025.7z" and save the png files in: ....\LaunchBox\Images\Media Packs\Platform Icons\Legacy Conversion Icon Pack\Playlists\ Finally, if anyone is interested in keeping these playlists up to date, I can try update them weekly with the new games, as well as add event playlists from previous years and seasons.
