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)

- Added update pack 17

For what it is worth, a number of us here were talking arcade64 and no-nag and one found out there is built in support for a no-nag like setting in arcade64 by default. Set the 'seconds to run' to 1 in the advanced property settings section.

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

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.

Hi, I've made a github fork with current 2.17 version : https://github.com/sbamsbamsbam/archive-cache-manager

Would be fairly easy for an app to make a logo via WPF like we do and then save out the result. But best this would do is make them in a specific font and not quite like a real logo may look.

This is such an added value for my Rom-Hack collection. I'm going to generate some cartridges this weekend! Thank you very much for developing and sharing this app with the community

I didn't use a template, although I guess there may be a suitable psd out there for Photoshop or such. Step 1: I used Imandix CoverPro to make the 3d boxes from the 2d full scan, with the "DVD: 10 box" option and a PNG Export of 900 x 1090. Step 2: I added the 3d boxes as a layer to a 650 x 1020 transparent image in Paint.Net. Positioned, cropped and auto-aligned, and saved the flattened pngs as the final 3d boxes.

Golly! Ghost! is now 100% operational. The problem was that some of the activation switch values were deprecated. To update the artwork, I also had to modify some of Mr. RetroLust's PNGs. I'm pretty proud of the result. Please note that guns must be calibrated before each game. Instructions on how to do this can be found at the end of the LAY file.

Thanks @boy, glad you like Your bezels look good, if you want to share them go to https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/ and use the "Submit file" button.

What's New in Version 6.6 - Added update pack 7

v2.3.0 released Improvement: Added confirm dialog to bulk add Custom Fields New Feature: The plugin will let you know if an update is available for download If an update is available, the plugin title in the Tools Menu and in the Right-Click menu will begin with (U) (LaunchBox only) Open the information/support window and click the button to take you to the Downloads page Fixed: Fixed calls to HLTB v2.3.1 Hot Fix: Changed HLTB call to reduce (eliminate?) the need for these monthly updates. (an after-the-fact epiphany)

@Gameon100 3D box using your coverart. Xeno Crisis.zip

Values represent pixels. 1. One way to do it is with Paint.Net open your image point to top left corner of bezel starting point and look at bottom right corner of P.N where it says X/Y that is starting point. Move mouse down to bottom right end of image bezel and look at point values again. That is end point. -Problem with this is that it only gives basic points. Because duckstation stretches on specific formats 4:3,16:9 etc. So your bezel needs to adhere to that format. -This values are also not perfectly correct due to formatting. You will need to do some manual correction. 2. Start a game any game in duck , Open settings in duckstation and leave it open. Now make DS fullscreen. Alt/Tab to settings tab. Click custom , load your bezel and start clicking and writing values in custom tabs to move and reposition image. Look at image i attached as guideline One of easiest ways to get proper empty space in your bezel is to take screenshot of the game in fullscreen (without bezel) and add to image editing tool as overlay on top of your bezel, position it to perfect center. Cut space in your bezel where screenshot image is and in theory it should fit P.S There is a bug in duck with Export button in border. It will write ImagePath: instead of Image: inside .YML file. So edit the file and change that

btw, im planing to update the megadrive one, with the new d-pad i made for this version (the megadrive one is a rip of a photo, thats why it looks so bad) and its gonna have the 6 button as the default arrangement

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).

I'm in mostly the same boat. I too cannot use my custom Startup or Shutdown, as well as Pause Screen I created in CTC in LAUNCHBOX However, these same exact Startup, Shutdown, and Pause screens work fine in Big Box. It took me a min to figure out what was going on. When I would launch a game within LaunchBox and my custom Startup/Shutdown theme is being used, it sat there indefinitely like I didn't click anything. The game wouldn't launch, and the Startup Screen would never pop up. I made a separate LB install piecing it back up to end up discovering it was triggered by adding a CTC made Startup/Shutdown theme. The Pause screen is an empty black screen when I try to use the CTC made Pause screen in LB. So, I use the default theme in LB for Startup/Shutdown and Pause screens. But like your situation they all work in BB. I would def appreciate it if the issue was addressed so they could work in LB too.

Alrighty, for now I took care of #1. I've uploaded a new version (Eclipse.v.0.0.019) which has a new setting for the selected game details padding. You can access that setting via launchbox from Tools > Manage Eclipse on the Margin tab: The default value is 0 and the game details will be the same size as they were in version 18 of the plugin. Setting it to a value of 5 will look something like this: Setting it to a value of 10 will make the details really small: As for number 2, I will play around with it a bit more but for now the notes look really out of place to me so I will think on it. In the meantime, the source code is available so anyone is more than welcome to edit it to create a new version that shows the details however they see fit. For number 3, it is coded to use a video if available and if not it takes the background image and if no background image is available for a game then it will use the game's screenshot image. Here's an example of a game in my library that has no video and no background image but it does have a screenshot image: Are you not seeing screenshots when missing videos because you are seeing the prioritized background images? Were you saying you prefer to prioritize the screen shots over the background images or you're not seeing them at all?

I do in fact fix the creases and folds up along with other small blemishes (there is a chance I miss a few here and there, I am human). I like my sets as if they were new and not used and beat up; so basically pristine condition.. I have a "highlight/crease" along the edge where the art would fold around the spine of the box. That person is an obvious troll. One post and it was that one. Sounds like a miserable human who needs to find a better hobby. Thanks for the support as always tho froggy

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.

I added the next ones to my setup: HasSavedGame HasSaveStates ArchiveCached Feel free to add them to the collection if you want.

I created the MAME High Scores and swapped it with your Achievements one. I also created the Documents, and the EA sports one. Feel free to add them to the collection if you want.

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