Update. I went a little nuts with the N64 startup :P. So far I have startups for all CD based games (PS1, PS2, PS3, DC, GC, Xbox, etc.), top loading systems (so far just N64 but will be SNES, Genesis, and more once I find decent front images of the consoles), and a custom jobby for PSP (as seen in the vid below). Still no idea how to get the little guys back in their boxes on game shutdown due to trigger issue. Hopefully someone can help. 2020-05-31 14-29-04.mp4

Honestly @viking I mentioned it in your platform video thread, but truly you are an amazing asset to this community. Making this public is such an incredible gift. Thankyou! We will treat it with the respect it deserves!

@faeran I was not able to resolve the game banners issue, but I don't mind as I wanted to use this theme for the categories and platform views (which is working beautifully), and then inside each platform/playlist different themes. I am in the process of making specific banners for my needs. Sharing them here in case somebody wants to grab them: Categories: Magazines and Pinball. Playlists: Hacks and Fan-Made, IGS PolyGame Master, and Recently Played. Platforms: Future Pinball and Pinball FX3. Missing for my set (that I will be doing next) are Microsoft

Happy New Year everyone! latest video showing off the latest progress with Animation (storyboarding)

Overview of changes made in the past 6 weeks plus changes in the upcoming build 1.0.3. The video also covers a new feature added in the past week that should assist new Theme creators.

Just finished uploading and replacing all 3D boxes to the database, added loads missing flyers, artwork and logo's, added color corrected flyers, added missing games to the database, corrected info etc. I think in total an amount of 5500 images added/replaced. So you might want to scrape your mame/arcade collection in 2 days from now (database mods will be finished by then).

I'm thinking of creating a video that would showcase how the new code works in this update. It's actually a lot more than just wall view changes.

Excellent, glad the log file helped a little anyway Sorry to have hijacked your thread faeran. Keep up the great work, loving these new themes.

Looks like that was the issue, only needed to change one line of code to get it working again with the new paths. I've fixed the issue using the dev's github source code. compiled plugin and src attached PCSX2 Configurator Next-fixed.zip PCSX2 Configurator Next.dll

So I used to play this weird game when I was a kid that had Star Wars droids, and there was some kind of factory where you had to make sure they were assembled correctly, or something like that. I've been searching for the name of that game for years, and nobody knew what I was talking about; no one had ever heard of a game like that from the early 90s. I started to think that I was going crazy, that I had never played such a game, but I held out hope. We're talking fifteen, twenty years I've been trying to crack this. I download this image set, and there are a lot of images for games her

Guys, this is great. Really ! But I would like to avoid multiple sources (tread) to download the videos. It becomes a mess and it is not clear for new users. For this purpose, I'm preparing a upload of all my sources + a tutorial on the guidlines. The idea is to have only 2 topics on the forum: The current video topic : We will find all mine, but also all yours. With your credit. 1 single place to download everything. Futur sources topic : There will be all my sources, and yours. I'll do a quick tutorial on guidline and my workflow. You will post your work in progress there

Thank you ! Yes, the size of BoxArt comes back often in the comments. The "problem" is that it is important in the overall design. I already started working on it for the next beta. I reduced the overall size of the video by using the bands at the top and bottom. It's not much, but we gain a little visibility. I also reduced the size of the BoxArt slightly. A radical solution would be to remove the BoxArt from the main page and put it in the wheel, instead of ClearLogo. But I must also create Dark version. If I have space, I will make this version. I have a lot of

@reddingmyst Here are the Amstrad systems. Let me know what you think.

One more.

@Retro808 was gracious enough to knock these two 3D boxes up for me, so ill post them here if they are helpful to anyone right now. All credit to @Retro808 for doing the work for me, and @Mr. RetroLust and @bLAZER from the emumovies site for the templates.

@harryoke almost the entire startup folder I have consists of your videos, and I love them! Keep rocking my friend!

Probably a within two weeks (could be sooner or later) for the LMNOP pack, around 3 to 4 weeks for QRST and a week for UVWXYZ. For the update packs to the missing boxes I can't make an estimate yet but perhaps a month in total, all could go much faster maybe but depends on real life/time/health things.

constructive ideas are always welcome, but comments such as …. "im a visualist, i know if things look good or crap or boring, or interesting, and what others will think" is counterproductive, a lot of time, effort and creative energy goes into the creation of Graphics, Videos and Themes and with a comment like that you are just pissing on their creations, so far I have not seen any contributions to this forum by you, so perhaps you should think before you type.

Hey guys! Just saw the new LB 8.0 video in Youtube, and the mention of this logos set. It reminded me that I made the missing ones some time ago for each type of the 6 backgrounds. @garehard, if you don't mind, I'll leave the zip file attached in this post. If you are not ok with it let me know and I'll remove it. The list: Alf TV Game Arcade PC Atari Classics Big Fish Games Capcom Classics Daphne Data East Classics Doujin Soft HBMAME Irem Classics Konami Classics Konami e-AMUSEMENT Konix Multi-System

Whoops didn't intend to start any drama. Anyway, for clarification, the wall part is based on the default Pegasus theme which isn't made by me, but the other part is based on the original gameOS which is also a theme for Pegasus. The game view has nothing to do with either though.

Well this thread has become an embarrassment. Seems @Pixelpiper has been out to throw us under the bus lately and @Lordmonkus can't correct something without spewing hate himself. Y'all just straight up need to grow up. You act like hateful little children, and I'm done with it. @PlayingKarrde I wasn't aware how similar this theme was to yours, but I appreciate the design and your positive outlook here. We'll update this post to clarify where the original design came from.

Thanks! Sorry, but I will not add those in there But don't worry, I will publish the Theme Creator Tool Files, so everyone can make the changes they want. I just need to clean the files first, so it's easier to make changes.

Hey, I'm glad that someone picked up the project, ive been really busy and couldnt fix the plugins that Ive made, Thanks @maikeru86. Would be good to post the source-code as well if possible.

give me about half an hour i'll upload videos themes, clear logo's backgrounds they whole set up for this system, and yes GRID is f 'ing brilliant, going through all the Teknoparrot stuff, spoke with Trymado on YouTube and he says yes I have permission to use his hyperspin themes just converting them one system at a time 😁😁

I 100% agree to that cheers

Pack has been updated, see change log for details!

v1.2 - Language format fixed by @y2guru (thanks so much for your hard work!) now works in all languages - Changed graphic for horizontal wheel bar - Fixed horizontal bar clear logo spacing and amount - Added Screenshot Game Title to vertical wheel views - Selected game logo in wheel adjusted

Just to make sure we are on the same page. Here is the list of game views that are in the theme right now: Horizontal Wheel 1 - The normal banner games view Horizontal Wheel 2 - The normal banner games view with quicker animations Horizontal Wheel 3 - Simple banner view where the banners never fade away Text Games View - Text view with the text menu on the right Here's the list of Platform Views: Platform Wheel 1 - Normal banners view Platform Wheel 2 - Normal banners view that plays music from your videos Platform Wheel 3 - Banners view

I was a little more inspired than expected sorry😅

Thanks man Here's an amazing video by @PaDeMoNiuM

I'm glad you joined the forums just to complain about not having playtime tracking on a plugin that adds playtime tracking. Thanks for your contribution, hope you have a wonderful day. Thank you for the plugin Grila. Nice little addition.

More animation progress 🙂

1.0.3.6 Overview of New Features plus sneek peek at Animation (Storyboarding) @ 22:20

Community Theme Creator for BigBox 1.0.3.5 now available!

This issue has been resolved and the update has been uploaded here.

@xevidroid @pmf5389 @Pixel I have updated the plugin, but to be honest I didnt tested, I will assume that youtube screwed us again, sorry for the delay but Im pretty messed up with my irl work

Making some progress on the Commodore systems.

MAME .210 will be available Monday.

Version 1.9 Added pack "QRS - UPDATE PACK" Enjoy! 🤘 After all update packs are done I'll release the resources and template so people with the skills can make their own or any missink ones. NOTE! : After installing the images you have to select all (or any alphabetical range) arcade games (CTRL+A = select all) go to Tools and click 'Refresh selected images', let it load and the games should now display the right 3D boxes.

If you knew, all the thinking I take in the mouth, for a stall, or an effect that does not please, but how many of the people who appreciate your work? proportionally much more,those who spit on you represent A tiny part minusucule, I m sure the majority likes what you propose many forget that we do this on our free time that despite all that remains amateurs.Continues to do your great job harry, ignore the rest and take pleasure it's the essential !

Yours sounds good too, thanks. It is a lot of work, but worth it if you wish to have things categorised like that. You should see my SEGA Mega Drive, haha: I have made custom clear logos and even nostalgia-themed background videos for them all. It took weeks of work, but I am happy with it all now. If you want to set up the Mario hacks here let me know and I will PM you.

UPDATE Version 1.3 Added pack "LMNOP" (remember: missing boxes will be updated through update packs in the future)

I'll put together a write up of what I do along with the templates into a zip file and add that in when I upload the next couple files. If there any particular series I can add them to the to do list. Making the final video is pretty easy as it's just replacing some files in the template. Toughest/longest part is finding/prepping the relevant sub videos to put in, so if there are particular games you'd prefer on the the screens I'm always open for the suggestions. That and I debate far to long on which music to add in and what image to use for the center.

Pretty cool work! Not sure about the dancing robot though

Really nice set so far, have not downloaded yet, will wait till the set is complete. I will stick to Robin55 set for now, as I did create an additional 300+ 3D boxes to complete my set at the time. Let me know if you need any help with any Logos as I have created sliver ring logos for my mame set + some (a lot of far east roms that I deleted) Looking really good so far, keep up the good work because I know that it is very time consuming.

I modified the file so that it would insert the XML for the video paths/names. Seems to work, tested it on Atari 7800. I am sure there is a more eloquent way to do it, but like I said it works. If anyone is interested I attached it below. launchbox_retropie_export.py

@faeran i absolutely love this. Excellent work if you need box templates for most systems i get them here, will save a lot of time if you are making them yourself. http://vgboxart.com/browse-resources/ cant wait for more systems to be added

I love these. I was hoping someone would make specific themes for each platform game list ever since bigbox supports different themes for each platform. I hope you make more platform themes.

Thank you for this, it's a really awesome video set, my only issue has always been that I didn't like the choice of games for the PC ones, in particular having a racing game set as the first in the AAA titles, so I used your PC one and made it an overlay for this one :-) Not sure if I like it 100% yet, I might end up doing something more unique in the long run, but I think you did an awesome job, and you were truly an inspiration to me with your set of videos. Thank you!

i agree thats something for jason to add
