Huge collection of Sony Playstation box images, complete with retail spines. All USA games included, along with Euro exclusives and same Japanese games that have translations. All the long box games are here WITH spines (finally). Long box releases that also had jewel case releases are also here. I also included all Greatest Hits games (there were a lot more than I thought). Sadly, only one Collector's Edition box is here. I couldnt find high quality scans of any of those. I included box templates in PSD format if anyone needs it. Cropped front and spines are also available the download. I will also upload 3D boxes. There are almost 1700 game boxes and I tried to be as accurate as possible. If anyone finds a mistake let me know. Enjoy!13 points -

Here is my Launchbox theme, imaginatively titled "Frogg". This is a rework of the default theme, as there were a number of things I wanted to change. See the second screenshot for a list of the changes made. Most of the changes were to the game details pane. I also removed the rounded edges from the boxes in the main grid view. The platform tree is the same. Overall I wanted to maximise the use of available screen area and show as much metadata as possible, minimising the necessity to scroll. Some scrolling is still required to view the retroachievements and related games, but for general game browsing often no scrolling is required to see the banner, images, metadata and notes. The very latest default them has returned to having the related game in a separate tab; I might update this theme at some point to incorporate that. I have an ultrawide monitor and this theme makes good use of the extra screen real estate. If your monitor isn't quite as wide you can resize the game details pane to your satisfaction. Also, I have a separate marquee screen on which the banner is displayed. That's why I kept the scratched arcade marquee aesthetic with the clear logo in the game details pane. It probably fits the theme better than the marquee anyway. There is one thing I still want to change - the height of the image preview area. For videos this will utilise the space well, though for the images it only uses around 80% of the available height. It looks OK but it's something I want to improve in a later update. Also, vertical videos take up a bit too much height; I plan to fix this also. Note: the controller support icon should appear in the top right area of the banner; this appears to be a bug which is currently being looked into.12 points -

Phew. This was a SET! Sega Master System 2D Box fronts. What a deceptively simple looking set. It wasn't necessarily complicated. Just really, really tedious. Mostly due to the fact of the rampant inconsistency of almost every element. Especially the various title fonts. To quote a member of the smspower.org forums, "Apply excessive, inconsistent kerning to get the authentic look.". It was never just a matter of typing in a game title. Literally every single letter on every single cover had different kerning that needed to be applied to it in order to match the original cover. Literally no two letters had the same kerning. It was outrageous! Sometimes the dot for a lowercase "i" would have it's own kerning independent from the letter. Sometimes the dot would not be included at all. Sometimes there were mixed font sizes within the same word. Sometimes one letter was subscript by .05 for no good reason. Sometimes there was "TM', sometimes there wasn't. Sometimes there was a "TM" with one font for the T, and another for the M. Sometimes there was an ®, sometimes there wasn't. Sometimes the ® had white under, sometimes it was clear. Sometimes the ® was blue, sometimes it was black. Sometimes there was whiteout behind the SEGA logo, sometimes there wasn't. Sometimes there was whiteout only on a certain portion of the S from blue SEGA logo, sometimes there wasn't. etc., etc. You get the idea. Speaking of, there's several different versions of that blue SEGA logo. Which was a task in and of itself. All the logos I came upon online had a large opening, or "inner triangle" on the letter A. Whereas, the actual SMS boxes have a small inner triangle of white. But it still has to sort of keep the overall angle of that entire line that makes up the left angle and goes down to the foot of the A. Of course, that angle also doesn't follow a straight line.. It ever so slightly diverges off the angle it starts from in order to end up making the upper left part of the inner triangle more inward than it normally would be. Might not be explaining it well enough. But that was a thing! There's also about 12 or so variants of the "Sega Master System" logo found on some boxes. That one was a doozy. The logo with the "bulb" of the tail of the letter "y" being in-line with the blue line, but not above it, while still having the skinny part of the letter y swoop under the blue line took quite a while. You wouldn't think it, but it isn't just the font typed with special kerning. It is actually two sets of different kernings on that letter. One for the skinny swoop part that goes under, and one for the bulb. But the skinny swoop doesn't go so far under as to leave a gap through which you can see the white background. Oh no way,...it rides that blue line. Which was custom skewing after all the kerning was done. Because it always wanted to show a gap, no matter what I did with the kerning. So I had to rasterize the layer and skew it manually until the bulb part was squished juuuuuust enough to not go over the blue line, and the swoop went under, but not too far! lol. Layered over each other; eraser, clone, 1px brush in red to fill in manually,..etc., etc. And each version had some slight variation. Like the horizontal rule blue line has a gap,.......the blue line is now black! The line is now at the bottom of the bulb of the letter "y". The line is now above it! The red "Master System" type is tall in this one,...but it's short in this one! ok sorry, moving on! Even the gray grid was inconsistent in nature. I took an example selection from a box front in photoshop, and filled my canvas with that selection to make a nice crisp new grid. Then brought the opacity down to try to match it up to the original grid, and noticed that when one square was exact, a few rows down it wouldn't be. If I matched it exactly to say, the middle row, then it slowly went out of alignment moving out from the equator. So in an effort to add some consistency to a set that was becoming increasingly tedious as I went through it, I just made a grid matching a really nice hi-res scan from one box, and used that throughout the entire set. Speaking of adding consistency. Due to the nature of the scans available, and how they sometimes were skewed, or didn't resize directly into my canvas perfectly (most did, but not all) I did end up settling on some versions of the box that kept artwork elements in the same spot across different boxes from that same design. That way, I didn't always have to move things by very small increments just to match a scan absolutely perfect. Also, some boxes came with elements way off-center by design. Sometimes it looked fine, but other times I went with logos and such that were closer to center. Different publishers were also given license to use their own variations of fonts and logos as long as it fit the general theme of the Sega Master System it seems. Such as the "action" triangle having a slightly different font and coverage area on certain games by certain publishers, and Flying Edge using a 100% black grid versus the normal light grey grid. The Strider II box used a different font on the Sega Master System logo, that is only found on one other box front in the entire set. Tecmagik had their own fonts and style, as did Parker Bros., just to name a few examples. Most of the work/time spent was matching fonts and creating a new fresh set of type, and the pen tool on 1200-1600% zoom in order to cut out all the artwork assets. I tried to match everything I could with clean new examples, however there were times when the scan was high quality, and I didn't feel like spending half an hour matching the individual kerning of each letter on two lines of small font, so I would just cut out the actual artwork from the box and use that since it was so clean. Conversely, there are a few boxes that have some elements that might not be hi-res. I just hit a wall sometimes, and did not want to re-create a small gray square that has some type in it. There also were certain times that I did not feel confident in being able to re-create certain things, so I would just use the full actual scan and call it good. Only had to do this for a handful of boxes out of the entire set. Full artwork boxes were sometimes just used "as-is". The Addams Family and Bart Simpson vs. the World are examples of this. I thought about getting the actual box to scan, but ebay prices dissuaded me lol. Some boxes like Terminator 2 Judgment Day, I was able to use a movie poster and fresh logos for it. For that one specifically, I included a version both with the shotgun, and without. Just for fun. Since Sega had it censored out. Back to the Future II was a composite of a few different elements to get a real clean looking artwork centerpiece. There were a few "one-off" style boxes, like the Master System Classic line, and a few Activision black boxes with silver grid. For the Master System Classic box front I used the full scan from "The Ottifants" as my template, and cut out the part where the artwork is showing through the ripped hole. I also had a little fun and made a version of Outrun that has the ferrari car cut out from the Mark III box. I've included every single game's PSD file as well. That way if you ever need to make any type of box, it's all there. I didn't make one Master Template, so you'll just have to search through for games that have certain elements you'd want/need to include on a box, and bring those elements over to the new file. For example, if you need to add the green "Plays on Master System" rectangle, take it from a game like Spider Man. And if you need the "Light Phaser Series" pink seal, take it from Gangster town. For as tedious as it was, this was still a very interesting set, with all of its variations and differences. I wasn't ever really into the Sega Master System as a kid. My friend had one that I played a handful of times. But working through this set, I've somehow grown an appreciation for the way the boxes were designed. So, with all that rambling done, enjoy! P.S. this webpage helped start me on the correct path in terms of fonts, and What the font was an invaluable tool in helping to find other fonts used on these boxes.10 points -

Huge collection of Sony Playstation 3D box images. All USA games included, along with Euro exclusives and same Japanese games that have translations. All the long box games. Long box releases that also had jewel case releases are also here. I also included all Greatest Hits games (there were a lot more than I thought). Sadly, only one Collector's Edition box is here. I couldnt find high quality scans of any of those. I included 3D box templates in PSD format if anyone needs it. There are quite a few 3D box sets out there for PS1, what makes this one exciting is all the Greatest Hits game have 3D art for the first time. Also, for the longest time I thought ALL PS1 long boxes were cardboard format, but it turns out quite a few long box releases used a plastic clamshell similar to Sega Saturn. The templates used were all 3D art images collected from the games DB, that I simply made into templates so I couldnt give credit to whom created what. Enjoy this massive collection!9 points -

Hey guys, this is a set of arcade marquees I built last year for the SNK Neo Geo platform. While the red MVS marquees are very good, and quite true to how people, including myself, physically saw these games in arcades, I've always felt they made these games feel more "generic" somehow, despite the fact that there are some real gems in the Neo Geo collection. These are all the same size, 2560 x 730, which might seem an odd resolution, but it matches a portioned-off top screen in my arcade build. I can't even remember why I chose this pixel size, but it's not a terrible aspect-ratio in terms of a middle ground for arcade marquees, which as we all know are quite variable. These were generated with a mix of the amazing artwork resources in the Launchbox Games DB (game logos, and company / platform logos), and the standard MVS card artwork, overlaid on top of official / fan-artwork which was extended with generative-fill in Photoshop, which can produce some rather incredible results. Everything was also upscaled throughout the process with FreeScaler on the Mac, which really blew me away in terms of how much it can improve low-resolution artwork. A few examples are attached separately too. Hopefully these are useful! I've also built standardized marquees for other platforms, if people like these. Thanks to everyone in this awesome community for contributing so much high quality content over the years. It's about time I gave something back9 points -

Decided to combine my two favorite platform/playlist videos into one theme that works with my system (I love the Lights Out Neon Arcade theme). I will be adding additional videos as I work thru my collection and platforms/playlist. Thought it was right to share to the community as I just did a small part of this work given the bulk was done by many others that work on the Colorful and Retrolust items here. These are large because I wanted to keep high resolution video, feel free to run them thru Handbrake to reduce the size for your system requirements.8 points -

Hello guys, today I propose you something Big! A big exclusive (temporary because given the somewhat the little historical aspect of things I have to share it elsewhere) I worked in close collaboration with an artist who created a Blender of the Super disc (a commercial version of the MSU prototype) based on the latest statements from the developers as well as on the design of the Satellaview (extension of the Super Famicom, marketed only in Japan from 1995) New logo once again based on the official acronym of the official super disc used by the developers at the time! In short, nothing was left to chance and I think it is the cleanest version that a commercial and definitive version of the console could have given! Even Secret of Mana is not a coincidence since it was the launch title planned for the release of the machine on day one! the creation of these media does not call into question all the work of the guys who are based on the msu logo (which was the prototype) but now leaves the choice and brings a new alternative for those who want it. Go towards the charter "logo prototype msu" or "the Super disc" This representation of the super disc is definitely the most beautiful and realistic of the proposals Everyone will choose which charter to go for according to their tastes! I leave you some media for those who would like to open a construction site! Here is my theme which will also be shared in the batocera community. For the History/ of the MSU In the early 90s, many video game manufacturers saw the relatively new CD medium as a way to expand the capabilities of their existing consoles, and Nintendo had planned a CD expansion for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Originally planned and developed in cooperation with Sony, Nintendo later turned to Phillips to carry out the project, but no finished product ever saw the light of day. Sony, offended by Nintendo, developed the Playstation to commercial maturity, and Phillips released the CD-I independently (which did not do well at all, by the way). But if history had taken a different course, perhaps we would all remember the Nintendo Super Disc today. . Many thanks to Oliver Harries for his trust and availability:7 points -

Hello everyone, how are you? I'm Leto and I'm here to post for the first time and exclusively my Nintendo Entertainment System covers that I customized in Photoshop. A professional job was done, valuing the platform that impacted my life so much. I'm sure that from now on, with this hard work done for NES fans, everyone will remember their games again. There are 896 covers with 600x840 resolution for the main NES games, which in my opinion is more than necessary for all fans of the platform. Note: If anyone uses them, don't forget to give credit to the author, thank you very much. A hug to everyone and have fun.6 points -

142 playlist videos inspired by @Pichirili's Colorful Collection Videos, themselves based off the Colorful theme by @viking. The screenshots attached show off only a small sample of the collection. These were made for my personal collection on and off over the past few months. As such, the quality is somewhat variable, depending on the quality of the assets I could find online. Some look great, others ... well, they get the job done. Likewise, file sizes and video lengths are all over the place. For some of the bigger files, you may want to use Handbrake or a similar program to get the size down (or just cut down the length of the video). I use these in conjunction with the Coverbox theme. I do plan on going back and upgrading some of Pichirlli's previous videos with some higher quality assets, as time allows, and will probably add a few more new videos. But largely I've hit all the franchises I want to feature. Full list of covered series: .hack, Ace Attorney, Ace Combat, Advance Wars, Alan Wake, Alan Kidd, Aliens, Ape Escape, Armored Core, Astro Bot, Atelier Baldur's Gate, Banjo-Kazooie, Battle Arena Toshinden, Battlefield, BattleTech, Battletoads, Bayonetta, Bionic Commando, BioShock, Blaster Master, BlazBlue, Bonk, Borderlands, Bubble Bobble, Bubsy, Burnout Capcom vs. SNK, Carmen Sandiego, Chibi-Robo, Command & Conquer, Commander Keen, Contra, Control, Cotton, Counter-Strike, Crazy Taxi, Cyberpunk 2077 Dark Souls, Darkstalkers, Dead Space, Deus Ex, Diablo, Digimon, Dr. Mario, Duke Nukem, Dynasty Warriors EarthBound, Elden Ring, Elder Scrolls, Etrian Odyssey, Excitebike Fable, Far Cry Galaga, Ghost Recon, Guitar Hero Harry Potter, Horizon, House of the Dead Jak and Daxter, James Bond, Just Cause Katamari, Kid Icarus, Killzone, King's Quest, Klonoa, Kunio-kun Last of Us, Legend of Zelda, Lemmings, LittleBigPlanet, Lord of the Rings, Luigi's Mansion Madden NFL, Mario & Luigi, Mario Sports, Marvel vs. Capcom, Mass Effect, Max Payne, Medal of Honor, Megami Tensei, Minecraft, Mr. Driller, Myst Nier, Ninja Gaiden Oddworld, Ogre Battle, Oregon Trail, OutRun Panzer Dragoon, Paper Mario, Persona, Pikmin, Pitfall, Pong, Portal, Predator, Professor Layton, Punch-Out, Puyo Puyo Quake Raiden, Rainbow Six, Red Dead, Resident Evil, Ridge Racer, Rock Band, RollerCoaster Tycoon SaGa, Shantae, The Sims, Space Invaders, Splinter Cell, Star Ocean, Star Trek, Strider, Super Monkey Ball, Super Mario (5 variants), Super Smash Bros.

Happy Holidays everyone, Its been quite some time since I shared a set with everyone. I have been working on several sets and have a bunch more still cooking. Just slower and more picky these days with what's shared. I have created a new Master System/Genesis/Mega Drive "2.5 D" Box art template from scratch using scalable vector shapes and Adobe Photoshop layer styles for realism. This box template is accurate to the original as I used my own box as a source. Comparing this to what else is out there this is both the highest in resolution and the most accurate. While I am personally not a fan or have any nostalgia for the Master System it was looking a bit sad in my collection with a lot of low quality cover art. This set is extremely high quality and large files hence the size of this download. This is all 114 released NTSC Master System games following the no-intro naming scheme. When dropping these in your Launchbox build there may be a few boxes that do not autoload due to the name differences between how Launchbox scrapes the games and what no-intro names them. Therefore you may have to manually update a few image names to your liking or use an alternate name within Launchbox itself. As always any issues with any images please reach out. If there are any errors or something does not seem right please reach out! Stay tuned in 2025 for more art work sets! (The wait is worth it as there are some very good sets to be coming out!)5 points -

Hey guys, I've seen all of y'all's messages and know that I'm going to look at it as soon as I can, but life has gotten in the way of a quick response. I'm working 60+ hour weeks, I've got a new girlfriend in my life, and the holidays have been brutal... I promise to get to it just as soon as I can though.5 points
