Hey everyone. Recently, I've learned how to do API calls/requests to the RA API server to get a list of all linked hashes for every supported platform and because of that, I'm currently restructuring all the DATs so that it'll be easier for me to add, change and remove linked hashes from the DATs more often and more accurately. As a result, I won't be releasing any updates for the next 1 to 2 months, give or take. Thanks for your patience and support.

What's New in Version 6.5 - Added update pack 06

Konami Handheld.mp4 Tiger Electronics.mp4 Teknoparrot.mp4 I upload teknoparrot cabinet because in my case I prefer to have the entire collection there and then separate by lists. Since there are many variants missing. For example, there is no colorful video where to place daytona usa 3.

What's New in Version 14.0 - Added update pack 14

Thanks! @Warped Polygon , I've managed to recreate the boxes using the images you found.

Thanks! v2.3.2 released Super Hot Fix: Fixed calls to HLTB The previous "epiphany" (v2.3.1) turns out was only half implemented. I expect a long run after this.

It needs an update to work with the latest beta releases and the upcoming 13.19 release. I'll tag you when it's fixed.

Version 2.2.4 released Hot Fix: Fixed calls to HLTB (again)

Thank you so much for all of these. Is there any chance when you are free that you could do an update to include the 2 x new Tomb Raider tables. Thank you very much

Thanks for the list! Reading through it I did notice you had Mattel intelliviison listed, and that one is actually already done. The Magnavox Odyssey is not however. I figured it was just a typo but thought I'd mention just incase! Thats a pretty solid list though and maybe I'll tackle some of them in the future. Thanks again!

Only Fringe systems are left really while checking the platforms on Bigbox, and many can reuse existing platform view with a logo or so changed like supervision playing like a GameBoy. I will list here those fringe systems not included. if you ever find the drive and judge any of them is worth it that would be awesome 😄 Also, If there is anything we can help with please let us know 😊 in any case, we already can't thank you enough for the existing ones enough🙂 Arcades: Pinballs Consoles: Fujitsu FM Towns Marty Funtech Super A'can Sega Pico RCA Studio II Philips Videopac+ Fairchild Channel F Epoch casette visison Entex Adventure Vision Emmerson Arcadia 2001 Casio PV-1000 Handhelds: GamePark 32 Watara Supervision Pokémon Mini Nintendo Game & Watch Sega Vmu Sony Pocket Station tiger.com Computers: Microsoft MSX/MSX2 Sharp x68000 Atari ST Armstrad CPC Apple 2 Windows 3.x Sinclaire ZX Spectrum Nec PC8801/9801 Atari 400/800 Commodore VIC-20 Commodore plus 4 Vtech Creativision ScummVm Mobile: iOS Android Cheers,

Bruh.... I'm kinda a graphical artist, and I can tell from the first screenshot, ALOT of work and effort has been put into this.... I was really amazed, I was sporting EMulation Station in the past, but this is on another level... THIS is every retro gamer's wet dream.... I'm gonna use this theme FOREVER... Is there any Update coming for this theme in 2025 and the future?

This is the best I could find for Kyousouba Ikusei Simulation: Keiba. Terrible quality but at least you can see what it looks like. I cant find anything at all for Keiba Yosou Shien Soft: Tosou Shin Karon, jack shite.

Heya ABeezy! First off, thanks for your collections and contributions to cart fronts and boxes, they are all fantastic quality and some of the best out there. Perhaps there's some confusion on the purpose of this particular application and how it works, however I originally never intended to provide templates, and instead the intention was for people to provide their own so they can have the carts look however they like. I included some random templates I already had in different resolutions and qualities as examples for people to test with. Whether you think removing a watermark for my personal use is in poor taste or not is up to you. However, based on your comments you seem to be confused as to how this actually works and why the templates are edited as they are. This isn't a collection of anything, this is literally a image compositing tool and the templates are edited to best work with the application. I am working on a newer version of the app and will be including more templates, which of course the original concepts of will be fully credited if applicable. Thanks!

Mr. RetroLust, your work is very good, I like it very much. Since I am from Hong Kong, I have been using Japanese game consoles since I was a child, so I collected and made several Japanese side cabinets. Can you share them here?

Actually, I got you. I used a standard jewel case template for a few japanese games on the PS1 3D set. That used a black tray insert though, but with some tinkering I made a white insert version. The template still includes the default black tray insert, but I think all Japanese PC Engine CD games used the white inserts. Btw, you can skip the USA TurboGrafx CD games if you want. I just made a 2D set (with spines) for all of those. I just have to 3D box them, but I am also working on regular TurboGrafx 16 boxes. Also, take note that some PC Engine Games use a double disc case, even though there were no multi disc games released for the system. Playstation 1 did the same for a few single discs for some reason. One example I can think of off the top of my head is the game Vasteel. For both the Japanese and USA releases, a double disc case was used. But no worries, I will include a template for that as well. Good luck. The annoying, hard part isnt collecting all the 2D front images, its finding decent images of the spines. Single-Disc-Case-JAP.psd Double-Disc-Case.psd

Which is something I forgot to mention - I do have the PNG files for all the videos. I don't use Colorful as my main theme, but I will try to get all the images together to use (or if somebody else wants to put them together, I'm happy to provide).

Thanks for letting me know. Version 2.2.5 released Hot Fix: Fixed calls to HLTB

Version 2.2.3 released Hot Fix: Working again. Once more.

It´s true. Yo can see it with GAME GEAR real 3d boxes. Are very hard to find (scans,etc). I have found a template to make G Gear missing boxes. Super Famicom 3d Boxes are very dificult to find. Now I am working on SNES PAL VERSION with a template of @WallyWonka (both sides). I am working with hi res images but the creator forgot the TM on super nes logo and the flower. I am puttin manually but i need a vectors with those logos.

Thank you @dingodan for writing an sharing this script. I made some modifications and added some functionality - namely: - Added Manual exports - Added 'Players' value from LB (instead of defaulting to "1+") - Fixed some error handling - Added functions to rename exported media, for platforms like ES-DE and GarlicOS that rely on the media files matching the ROM names 1:1. I uploaded my version of the script here, hope you don't mind: https://github.com/thwonp/scripts/blob/main/launchbox-export.py

NEW in v2.0.0 New Option: Select to view/save time by Day-Hour-Minute, Hour-Minute or Minutes-only New Features: (via the Tools Menu) HLTB Viewer and Playlist creator (Requires HLTB times to have been saved to Custom Fields) - View and sort HLTB games by title or Time To Beat - Launch a game directly from Viewer - Create playlists See plugin Description for more details. Thank you for your support.

You're welcome. Personally, I prefer seeing Days - Hours - Minutes. But I've never been one to not accommodate a reasonable request. I'll have my team look into a way that's not too convoluted and will allow you the option. Might even throw in a Minutes only option, just because. Thanks for the suggestion.

V4.0 Update: Updated with separate zip file with media for released tables on August 29, 2024: Princess Bride Pinball - 184 Goat Simulator Pinball - 187

Version 2.2.1 released Hot Fix: Working once again. (change in how requests are made to HLTB. Again) The "(informational) Platforms that the game is available for are shown" appears to have been reinstated via the API. (Had been depreciated as of version 2.0.0).

Thanks a lot for the tip! What I'm trying to achieve, however, is the original platform view. Update: Good news! I just used a PlatformFiltersDetailsView file from another theme and was able to get it looking the way I prefer now.

Thanks for letting me know! Version 2.2.1 released Hot Fix: Working again. (change in how requests are made to HLTB)

Discs look much better than the UMD. Any chance of doing a default PSP disc to use until the rest are completed ? Thanks

Updated zip files with Camp Bloodbrook released on Oct 24, 2024. @Galaxy_1has done full set of 3D boxes for FX and M.

I've added a new feature (option) that will have "pick a different title" always available. Even when an exact match is found. It will be there for both single and bulk searches. So not a bug. Just a feature that wasn't there. Also changed how it tries to match the games. It'll attempt to match the title AND year (vs just the title). This should help reduce the need to 'pick a different title'. Note, when you search for WWF Royal Rumble (1993), the Grids are still going to have both SNES and Sega Genesis images.

Version 2.2.0 released Changed: When saving HLTB times to Custom Fields, ones that don't have a time available will now be left blank, no longer saving as "No Times Available". Fixed: When double-clicking a skipped game (after bulk import), platforms with a dash ('-') in the name would not be found. Improvement: Better matching to the games actual platform when searching for HLTB times. Improvement: Faster Bulk-Import. New Feature: Select which times to save to Custom Fields (Default is all 3: Main Story, Main + Extras, Completionist) (Tools < HLTB Viewer - Settings) New Feature: Added hyperlink to HLTB's site for the selected game. (via Right-Click, start plugin for single game) New: The game Title actually found on HLTB is now shown in the Status field. Big thanks to @Tayley for the comments and suggestions on Discord!

Version 2.1.0 released New Feature: In HLTB Viewer (Tools Menu), filter selected platform by min/max HLTB times.

Having an interactive "Just grab 'em all" would pretty much defeat the purpose of what made this plugin useful to you. As for adding something like that to the original one-by-one method, it's been discussed previously. In short: "The problem is, sometimes (a lot of the times? Occasionally? Rarely?) the file will be [temporarily] locked by LaunchBox. And can't be deleted." I've tried various methods to work around this hiccup and the result was "Deleting existing images ain't gonna happen with the plugin." Discussed above: "Those official Steam images don't appear to be available via the API. But I'm pretty sure when you import a Steam game, there's an option to prioritize Steam Images, which should get those. I presume the auto-import feature grabs those as well." Version 1.2.3 added a clickable SteamGrid hyperlink. When doing one-by-one, click the Games Title to navigate to the games SteamGrid page. From there you can click View Original Steam Assets. When searching one-by-one, the plugin 1st attempts to search by the game title and platform. If a direct match isn't found, then it searches by just game title. My findings indicate the 1st rarely gets a hit but the 2nd one (when using the one-by-one method) will show images covering various platforms. "In cases where an exact match for the game Tite is not found, a window will popup listing 'close matches'." With "Just grab 'em all", it'll do the 1st and 2nd attempts then move on. An interactive popup with close matched does not occur. If a match is found meeting your criteria (i.e. "grids" and " 600x900"), it grabs the 1st one in the results. I presume your incorrectly matched example "Wipeout" produce a grid image for a different platform? Glad it now has some value for you.

Do you mean this one?

Still a great plugin. Just added Guitar hero to my virtual pinball machine. Pinup popper launches into bigbox.

The day has come! v1.2 is out! Please check it out and let me know how it's working for you. I haven't touched C# in 12 years, so v1.2 is me trying to catch up on it lol Thanks again for all your feedback! This wouldn't have happened without that push. Happy gaming!

Nah that’s not it. It’s about triggering the animations, in the editor it’s triggering, the main window isn’t and now bigbox apparently has different timings when triggers are updated. I’ll take a look tonight to resolve the Ctc side but I’ll have to reach out to the lb team to confirm any timing changes

3.2.2 is available

Thanks again for the interest everyone! I've been diligently working on version 1.2 but it's turned out to be a bit more than I thought lol pretty much a complete remake with stability and performance in mind. It's about 97% ready! Although, I've been at 90% for about 4 days now lol Hang tight! This one will be a winner 🏆 🫠 Hopefully in the next few days 👍 Until then, cheers 🍻

Version 1.2.2 Released New Feature: Bulk. Use the ◄◄ and ►► buttons to select the Previous/Next game.

I'd assume this plugin is reading a local XML file which is only updated once a day, the website is live data. It's expected that there can be differences, especially if your XML file is old. Currently the XML file I have in my test environment shows "Released" as the release type as well instead of the "Homebrew" that the website shows.

Just a heads up for what's coming to v1.2: Optimization around the Metadata.xml which should: Reduce crashes Quicker table refreshing Enhanced stability, performance, and error detection "Region" data added to tables Column filtering Window Resizing (if I can get it working) Should be out in the next day or two 👍

Great plugin, quite helpful. One suggestion I have is to add a check box for region. It also crashes my LB a fair bit, but I get it that it is searching a lot of data. More check boxes in general might help with that but I don't know. Like if I don't want Sports game, Japanese games, I want to keep the results about say 3.0 on the community score, all that might make the search more efficient (and the list more readable) if I can pair it down. But great plugin, very helpful

Very interesting plugin! Thank you very much! Is there any chance on allow windows to be resized?

This is by far my go to theme for Launchbox / Bigbox and was wondering is this considered a final build or can I hope for something new in the future ?

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I've updated the instructions and posted v1.1.2 with enhanced error checking around the Metadata.xml file. The code will search for the file in directory now to make sure it is there. I've also updated the error messaging so it should pop errors in the data table depending on what's happening. If you still have issues, please post a screenshot of the app with the error messaging in the data table and I'll get on it. Cheers! 🍻 Edit: If you do experience further issues, please click the "Export to CSV" for the Missing Games table and attach the .CSV to a post here. Thanks again and enjoy 😎

Thanks for making this. Would you be able to add a way so I can have the data display as just hours minutes, and not days hours minutes?

Great job! . I for one have a few more to record but have been having health issues lately and haven't had time
