I remember autumn 2024 i took the images and start make it for Launchbox Bigbox and then my laptop got broken luckly i got the files for the theme in (ctc) Community Theme Creator and with a new pc i finally complete this theme and i hope you like this feel free and downlad. cheers Ninjaman

Hi, LaunchBox often downloads multiple images for the same category (e.g., multiple front covers for a single game). However, not all images are equal — sometimes you want to keep the higher quality version, or prefer the American cover over the European one. My tool helps you quickly compare and clean up duplicate images by relying on filenames to group related images (like multiple covers for the same game). Instead of going through the LaunchBox interface, selecting a game, navigating to the images tab, and manually sorting through them, this tool shows image pairs side by side so you can instantly decide which one to keep or remove. ⚡ This will save you countless minutes when cleaning up large collections. 🔧 Features: Compare images from two folders based on filename similarity (e.g., Zoop-01.jpg vs Zoop-02.jpg) Detect and display duplicates within the same folder Preview matching images side-by-side Move or delete images with one click Optional: Move unselected images to a target folder while recreating the original folder structure Automatically sends deleted files to the Recycle Bin if no target folder is set 🚀 How to Use: Select Primary Folder and Secondary Folder — These are your two image collections (e.g., cart and fan art cart). (Optional) Choose a Target Folder — This is where non-selected (duplicate) images will be moved. If left empty, files will be sent to the Recycle Bin. Click Start to begin the comparison. If matches are found: Images are shown side-by-side. Use Move/Delete buttons to act on one of the files. Use Skip to move to the next pair. After inter-folder comparison, the tool will automatically check for duplicates within Primary Folder, then within Secondary Folder. 🗂️ If a file is moved to the target folder, the tool preserves its original structure. Example: If the file is located at V:\Launchbox\images\snes\Cart\Zoop-01.png, and the target folder is V:\Duplicates, the moved file will be placed at: V:\Duplicates\Cart\Zoop-01.png

An extension of my initial default 'box' thingy--now in actual boxy form! It looks a little better than the flat logo on 3d models... Default 3D Box and Default Box folders go into Launchbox\Images\Platforms\PlatformName\ AND/OR Launchbox\Images\Platform Categories\CategoryName\ I also experimented with different looks for funzies, so I'm sharing those too, in case anyone wants them. GIMP .xcf files are included as well. For an explanation of how I use symbolic links to disperse the default image across multiple platforms to avoid tedious copy/pasting, see my initial post below: Credits: Mr.RetroLust for the base box images, niglurion and DerSchlachter for the backgrounds I used as overlays in some of the alternate boxes.

I handmade some custom neon-style arcade signs for use as playlist logos and decided to share them! 18 logos in total, all made with identical text size and dimensions (3840x2160) to help with cohesiveness! Logos include: All Games Favorites Consoles 2-Players 4-Players Beat 'em Ups Classics Fighters Light Gun Platformers Puzzles Racers Rhythm Run 'n Guns Shoot 'em Ups Spinner Sports Trackball Inspired by AlabasterSlim's neon logos!

Hi everyone, I’d like to share a small utility I created called M3U Generator. It’s designed to automatically generate .m3u files for multi-disc games, commonly used with emulators like RetroArch and others that support playlist-style disc switching. 💡 What it does: Scans a selected folder for game files (.cue, .iso, .img, .bin). Groups discs belonging to the same game (based on filenames). Creates .m3u playlist files in a subfolder named m3u. Optionally includes single-disc games as well. 📦 Features: ✅ Supports subfolder-style or flat playlist paths (..\\ or current folder). 🔍 Filter results based on a keyword (e.g., "Disc" or "CD") to process only relevant files. 📝 Displays a log of the generated .m3u content directly in the software. 🧠 Automatically names playlists based on the first disc. 🕹 Example use case: Let’s say you have these files: Game Title (Disc 1).cue Game Title (Disc 2).cue The software will create: m3u/Game Title (Disc 1).m3u With content: ..\Game Title (Disc 1).cue ..\Game Title (Disc 2).cue 📥 How to use it: Launch the application. Click "Select Folder" and choose the directory where your ROMs are located. Optionally enter a filter term like Disc to process only multi-disc games. Choose path mode (relative or current folder). Check the "Include single-disc games" option if needed. Click "Start" – the .m3u files will be generated in a m3u subfolder. The output will be shown in the result textbox and also saved to 1-m3u_results.txt.

**This removes the nag screen that informs you if a rom doesn't work correctly, or if at all, if you use this no nag, then please do NOT go to the mame support site with issues with games, please only use if you understand that there will be no help from anyone at mamedev as you are using a modified version of mame. Contents: mame.exe - Normal Mame with Nags removed. (Note mame no longer carries the 64 in its exe name changed by Devs in 0.229) This version also allows the games Akai Katana and Dodonpachi Saidaioujou to be played. It's advisable to download the full mame official pack and install it, then just overwrite the exe with the replacement, this covers any changes the mame devs may have made to the support files. After you have done this, make sure you copy the folders artwork, ctrlr, cheat, hlsl, ini, folders and the ini files from the root of your original mame folder, and move/copy them to the new install. If you are using your own installed/setup of mame then make sure you also set in the mame.ini 'Skip_gameinfo 1' If you got Launchbox to setup mame for you when asked, you only need to replace the exe and play. As some are not sure about False Positives, and report a virus was detected, As goes for all versions i upload, they are all ran through virustotal before i upload, and if by any chance something did end up with an issue it would be noticed very quickly after upload and would be removed/restricted. 0.279 - VirusTotal - File - 57af1c54e2347a6e72f9049ef21682082a6a639ba75db74b0908ae9cbacd5766 All NEW versions of the No-Nag will be posted in this download thread only, if you wish to get the new releases every month, either follow myself or the thread, As the download section will not show any new releases.

Hi, This application helps you find missing games for all your main consoles. Step-by-step usage: Select the folder that contains your platform XML files — usually located at LaunchBox\Data\Platforms. Choose the output folder where the result files will be saved. Check the consoles you want to scan. Click Start to begin the comparison. Important notes: For each selected console, the app will generate a CSV and an Excel file with the results (own and not found). Only games marked as "Released" in your database will be included in the comparison. If you click on Auto select all platforms in launchbox, all the platforms displayed or not in the software will be processed. As the software compares the results with the local launchbox database file, as long as it is up to date or used by launchbox, this software will work and have an up-to-date list.

Originally requested for NTSC/J titles which are usually missing 3D boxes in the database. Created by my friend clymacs with modifications by me. Requirements: GIMP Basic image editing skills (no tutorial) Samples: Notes: Tested with GIMP 2.10.38 (should work with latest 3.x.x). Spine text needs to be edited in a text layer then rotated to maintain compatibility with older GIMP versions.

Amstrad CPC Real 3D Box Art Project. There are a few sources of 3D box art out there for the CPC464, though none that are as high resolution, realistic looking and true to the original as I wanted. In the absence of support for true 3D rotatable models, I decided to make this set. This set uses a real cassette template in Photoshop into which the front covers and spines are inserted. English versions used where available, though foreign games are covered too. Most 3D boxes are a "single" cassette box, though there are also double cassette boxes, disk boxes and cardboard boxes. I try and make the box art true to the original. Cassette boxes are prioritised where available. There are a very small number of games that came in boxes of anomalous sizes - I have tended to use the cardboard box template for these. The single cassette box template is of superior quality to the double and disk box templates - if anyone can find the latter 2 in higher quality, let me know, though I'm relatively happy with the ones I have. For freeware/PD/etc games, I am making "blank" cassette templates with the game name stuck to the front and spine of the cassette insert as an embossed label strip (like you could make with those old machines). The rom set used is the Gamebase CPC set, which contains 3299 games. New packs will be added here, so click follow to get updates. Any errors or missing games let me know! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Updates 19 Aug 2021: Pack added (A) 24 Aug 2021: Packs # and A being reworked: double cassette case will have the feint background removed, and 3D boxes for cardboard box games will be added 27 Aug 2021: Freeware/PD/etc games will have a 3D box made - using a blank cassette insert template with the game name printed on an embossed label and stuck to the front and spine 28 Aug 2021: Packs # (75 covers) and A (242 covers) have been updated to fix the translucent background issue for double cassette and disk cases, and PD/freeware 3D boxes have been added 10 Sep 2021: Packs added (B - 219 covers) 6 Nov 2021: Packs added (C - 249 covers) 15 September 2022: Apologies for the lack of updates since...well, the last update. This work is still on my radar. It is currently on pause as the "true 3D model box" feature has made it into the Launchbox implementation list as per the most recent poll. If this works well then I would plan to convert all these boxes to proper 3D model ones. So I'm just waiting to see what it looks like. 30 November 2022: So the 3D model box feature is now working in Launchbox, with a full-screen view having been implemented. Once a good jewel cassette box type has been added to the list of templates in Launchbox, I will go ahead and convert these images to a format that can be used with the 3D models, and continue to complete the set to work with the 3D models. There will then be little need to have these static 3D boxes in addition to the 3D model boxes and I likely won't complete the static set - but if anyone is interested in continuing this work with the static images, I'd be happy to share the resources. 26 February 2024: Over a year later and still no support for cassette-based platforms with the 3D box model feature, which is disappointing. Hopefully this will come soon. 5 August 2025: Almost 3 years down the line and still waiting for a cassette box model to be added to the 3D model options. Hopefully soon. I’m not sure what to do with this work meantime. A new version of the CPC Gamebase set has also been in the works for a while and will hopefully be released soon.

Hey Guys Recreated a high Quality PSX Cover with changeable ESRB items from the Playstation era, This is in no way done to undermine the one done by "Nuboko", i just wanted the easier PSD to drop files or using upscaling and drop change the code and save As always let me know if you have any issues!

Use this plugin to filter and import MAME Software Lists into LaunchBox. New - version 6.0 Requires LaunchBox 13.3 or newer* Slightly different look. Same old features. A lot of (behind the scenes) code improvement. This update has been rewritten in .NET 6.0 to “keep up with the times”. *If you’re using LaunchBox version 13.2 or older, download version 4.5 of the plugin. (For now, at least) v4.5 will still work with LaunchBox 13.3 and newer. Features: Import MAME Console/Computer ROMs into a new or existing Platform Import clones as Additional Apps, separately or not at all (Option) Skip Prototypes (Option) Skip Non-Supported ROMs Adds the Platform and Command-line Parameter to the selected MAME emulator (ex. Atari 2600 a2600 -cart) (Option) Copy ROMs to a new folder during importing Imported games tagged as not supported by MAME will be marked as "Broken". (Option) Import only games that exist in your ROMs Source Folder (Option) Ignore games that only have a Title change (when updating) Version information found inside parenthesis in a Games Title will be added to the games "Version" (metadata) Audit Feature: Compare your existing softlist console/Platform against the MAME hash.xml. Will cross check Title and Rom names. - Select the respective hash.xml and Platform - Click Audit (last page) - Any differences along with a brief description will be shown. - Option to select files (if any) and have them removed from your LaunchBox Platform. - Will check main Titles as well as Additional Apps (if you imported them that way). This does NOT check rom integrity. That's between you and Clrmamepro (or related utility). What's needed: (1) dll file included in the zip. MAME Software List hash files (located in the "hash" sub folder of your Mame's main folder) MAME Software List ROMs* and BIOS files (only if you want to actually play them) *The rom set needs to be either a Split set or a Non-Merged set for a full import If you plan to not import clones, any type set will work. What it won't do: Filter/Sort by Region (it's a MAME hash file limitation) Determine if/what BIOS files are needed Import Metadata and Media (just use the built in LaunchBox Tool) To remove extra information from the games titles [Example "(Jpn)"], select Yes, download and replace all existing metadata and media when running the tool.) How to: - Copy the "ImportMameSoftwareLists" folder from the zip file to your ..\LaunchBox\Plugins folder. - Navigate to that folder and unblock the .dll file. (Right click, Properties, and click Unblock) - Start LaunchBox. Click on "Tools" and select "Import MAME Software Lists". - Navigate through the wizard. - After running the plugin, right-click your new platform and select Edit. Set Scrape-as to whatever your platform is and save. Notes: ROM Folder Locations (screen): The Destination Folder is required even if you don't plan to copy the files. It's needed to set up the Application Path for the ROMs when Importing. Copy and/or Import (screen): To add Version info (if it exists in the Games Title) to an existing console (Platform), run the plugin and DO NOT CHECK Ignore games that only have a Title change (when updating) Selecting an emulator: The main intent of this plugin is to import consoles and computers using MAME softlist ROMs and set the games "proper" Title and application path. It will also attempt to add the appropriate Command-line Parameter for the platform in MAME’s Associated Platforms. If you prefer to use an emulator that can load MAME ROMs other than MAME (or a variant there-of), go for it. It’s recommended to select MAME while using the importer, and then change the Default Emulator when done importing. You can select the 'other' emulator in the plugin, and it will be set as the default for the platform. But it will also have the default command line parameters for the associated platform set using MAME parameters. So be sure to adjust as necessary. Importing: (optional) "Import games that only exist in the ROMs Source Folder" If using a Merged softlist set, clones will not get imported using this option. But if you have a curated Split set, this can be handy. (optional) "Ignore games that only have a Title change (when updating)" If you manually renamed your game titles, check this box. Updating: If you’ve updated your MAME emulator and MAME softlist ROMs, simply run the importer and point to the updated hash file and select your existing platform. When updating, this plugin will NOT remove any games from your collection that MAME has removed from the hash file(s). You can use Audit to compare your collection to the MAME hash file and manually remove games from your collection that don't exist in the hash file (if you so desire). Downloading Metadata: After running the plugin, right-click your new platform and select Edit. Set Scrape-as to whatever your platform is and save. When downloading metadata and Media, choose "Yes, download and replace all existing metadata and media". This will remove the Version info from the games Title. After updating the metadata, if some, but not all games got updated, restart LaunchBox and try the bulk metadata downloader again. Auditing: When auditing, if a game originally had the version info in its Title and you have ran the Download Metadata and Media wizard selecting "Yes, download and replace all existing metadata and media", you WILL see games marked as Missing. * MESS xml * Other Notes: (things I've learned) - Software List folder/file locations: - *Associated Platform Command line parameters - MAME and CDROMS

Intro Unibox allows you to add roms to any Launchbox installation you have running on your local network. It also automatically adds metadata and media. This can be done in real-time, making it useful for installations such as arcade machines or rigs dedicated to running BigBox. No manual adding of roms to folders required, or going into Launchbox to add more games. Video of it in action: Getting started guide: Presently in Beta, so maybe test on a test installation first. Hope helps!

Latest Release: .278 ----279 has a compiler error, will try again tonight ARCADE64 is a Windows-based frontend for MAME, a multi-arcade emulator. Its useful if you want mame but want a nice gui for settings.

MAME Curated Platform Softlist Importer for LaunchBox (v1.0.0) Have you ever wanted to import your MAME Software Lists (softlists) into LaunchBox in a clean, organized, playble, and automated way? This plugin is designed to do just that, acting as a powerful companion to tools like mess-curator. It goes beyond simple importing by using a highly-configurable YAML file to intelligently map MAME systems and softlists to the correct LaunchBox platforms, apply the right emulator settings, mark games as broken if there is relevant metadata, and even handle complex scenarios like clones and importing artwork. This plugin, when importing using my MAME 0.278 system-softlist YAML preset, will add 106 Platforms and ~16k games to your Launchbox collections, all ready to play, or at least those that I tried :-) Important Plugin Note Note: This is NOT a successor nor replacement for the amazing MAME Software Lists Import Tool - plugin 6.0.2 that is developed by @JoeViking245 that also serve the purpose to import MAME softlist into Launchbox. The original tool is perfect for users who want a simple, direct way to import softlist games using the MAME hash XMLs. If that's your goal, I strongly recommend using it. This plugin, however, was inspired by it and was born from my own OCD needs and is designed for a more complex, automated workflow. It excels at creating highly customized "curated" platforms that can contain a mix of different softlist media, obscure systems, and custom launch commands—all managed through a central configuration file that simplifies maintenance for future MAME updates. The curated list (system-softlist YAML) used by this plugin is also maintained by me and is readily available as preset by this plugin. Perhaps that list will be contributed by the communities if it is able to gain some attention 🙂 Release Note 2025.07.11 - Initial release to the public community Launchbox forum Motivation While there exist other tools can import MAME Software Lists such as MAME Software Lists Import Tool by @JoeViking245, they often fall short when dealing with the complexity and quirks of MAME's database. This plugin was created to solve common frustrations: Platform Clutter: MAME often has multiple system drivers and media types (cassette, floppy, cartridge) for a single real-world platform. Other importers can create a messy platform list (e.g., "Amstrad CPC (Cassette)", "Amstrad CPC (Floppy)"). This tool intelligently maps them all to a single, clean platform like "Amstrad CPC". Manual Emulator Configuration: Getting softlist titles to run correctly often requires specific command-line arguments for each game or media type. This tool automates that process entirely based on a flexible configuration file. Complex System Mapping: What about systems that have no softlists but are still desirable to import, like JAKKS Pacific Plug & Play devices? This tool allows you to map them to the correct platform, ensuring they are not overlooked. Or even better, having a mixture of systems and softlist titles under one single platform, e.g. some JAKKS Pacific Plug & Play devices has pluggable soft keys. Fine-Grained Control: The import process is driven by a powerful YAML file, giving you complete control to override default settings, define custom command lines for specific games, and handle exceptions gracefully. In short, this plugin was built for curators who want their MAME softlist collection in LaunchBox to be not just imported, but correctly and cleanly organized with minimal manual effort. What's best is that job is already done for you by me, which I also maintained a template here. Key Features Wizard-Style Interface: An easy-to-use, step-by-step wizard to guide you through the import process. Intelligent Platform Mapping: Uses a YAML configuration to map multiple MAME systems and softlists to a single, clean LaunchBox platform (e.g., mapping a2600, a2600_cass, etc., all to "Atari 2600"). Automatic Emulator Configuration: Sets the correct MAME driver and command-line parameters for each game, ensuring they are immediately playable. Advanced Clone Handling: Choose how to handle clone ROMs: Import as Additional Apps (Recommended). Import as separate, standalone games. Skip them entirely. Artwork & Manuals Importing: Automatically finds and copies associated artwork (Gameplay, Title, Select Screens) and manuals from your MAME extras folders. Game Health Status: Automatically flags games as "Broken" in LaunchBox if they are marked as supported="no" or status="preliminary" in MAME's database. Detailed Progress Reporting: See real-time updates on which platform and file is being processed. Cleanup Options: Can remove all existing games from a platform before import to ensure a fresh start. How It Works The importer relies on three main sources of information: Your Curated ROMs Folder: It scans a folder where your ROMs are organized by platform, system, and softlist. This structure is essential for the importer to understand the context of each file. MESS's XML Database (mess.xml): This file provides the ground truth for all machine information, software details, and parent-clone relationships. YAML Configuration (system_softlist.yml): This is the heart of the importer. It defines how a system or softlist titles is mapped to LaunchBox platforms, which emulator to use, what custom command-line arguments are needed, and more. This file gives you complete control over the final import. The YAML Configuration (system_softlist.yml) can be automatically generated using my mess_curator tool. The tool processes this information to create perfectly configured game entries in LaunchBox, complete with metadata, artwork, and the correct launch commands. Dependencies To use this importer plugin, you must first organize your MAME softlist ROMs using a companion tool, mess-curator CLI/UI that I developed. The importer relies on the specific folder hierarchy and metadata references created by mess-curator's system_softlist.yml configuration. You can either use a preset system_softlist.yml provided by mess-curator or generate your own. Prerequisites Before you begin, you will need: 1. MAME Curated Softlist Importer Launchbox Plugin Download and place the MAMECuratedSoftlistImporter.dll file into Launchbox\Plugins\MAMECuratedSoftlistImporter folder. 2. Curated ROMs Folder A folder containing your MAME softlist ROMs, organized in a specific structure. My mess-curator companion tool can generate this structure for you via mess-curator copy-roms subcommand. - Your_Base_Roms_Folder/ <-- e.g., "roms" - platform-friendly-display-name/ <-- e.g., "jakks-pacific-tv-game" - mame_system_name/ <-- system without any softlist titles, e.g., "jak_batm" - system.zip <-- e.g., matches the mame_system_name (zip file), should only have one single zip file - mame_system_name/ <-- system with softlist titles, e.g., "jak_dora" - softlist_name/ <-- e.g., "jakks_gamekey_nk" - softlist_game1.zip <-- e.g., "dora.zip" - softlist_game2.zip <-- e.g., "popsnow.zip" - softlist_game3.zip <-- e.g., "volbird.zip" Steps Download the latest release from mess-curator Releases page. Run python src\mess_curator.py and go through the initial setup wizard until you reach the point where it download the mess.xml for your matching MAME romset version. Refer here for the initial setup. Run python src\mess_curator.py copy-roms to start copying roms from your MAME romset adhering to the system/softlist structure defined in the system_softlist.yml file. Check your output rom folder, profit! 3. MAME/MESS XML File An XML file containing metadata for non-arcade systems that matches your MAME ROMset version, downloadable from https://www.progettosnaps.net/mess/repository. E.g. for MAME 0.278, download https://www.progettosnaps.net/download/?tipo=mess_xml&file=/mess/packs/xml/mess278.zip. 4. system_softlist.yml YAML Config File This is the most important file that defines the metadata for the rom files detected during import configurations. You can use a pre-defined template that is selectable in Step 1 Setup Wizard with my mess-curator tool. This file is critical. It tells the importer how to handle each system and softlist titles. Here is an example snippet with explanations: # This is a single entry for the Amstrad CPC system. amstrad_cpc: # A list of all MAME system/driver names that should be mapped to this platform. mame_system_names: - cpc464 - cpc664 - cpc6128 # ... and so on. # The final, user-friendly name for the platform in LaunchBox. platform_name: Amstrad CPC # A list of all MAME softlist names that belong to this platform. softlist_names: - cpc_cass - cpc_flop # (Optional) The category for this platform in LaunchBox. platform_category: Computer # (Optional) Defines the emulator and command-line parameters. emulator: # The name of the Emulator entry in your LaunchBox setup. name: MAME (Cartridge) # {mame_system_name} and {media_type} are placeholders that the importer will fill in. default_command_line_parameters: '{mame_system_name} {media_type}' See my mess-curator repo README here for more information. 5. MAME (MESS) Emulator Create an emulator named as MAME (MESS) and configure it to point to your mame.exe emulator. The emulator name is not hard coded in the plugin itself, and is lookup from the system_softlist.yml, and MAME (MESS) is the default emulator name specified in that file. Usage: Step-by-Step The importer is designed to be run from within LaunchBox (Tools > MAME Curated Softlist Importer). Step 1: Configure Paths Set the paths to your ROMs, MAME hash folder, MAME XML file, and the system softlist YAML file. For the system softlist YAML file, you can also automatically select a template matching your MAME ROMset version from my mess-curator repo. Step 2: Select Platforms Choose which platforms (as defined in the system softlist YAML file) you want to import or update. You can select by category and see a list of platforms that belonged to that category. Step 3: Import Options Configure how clones and unsupported games are handled. You can also choose to remove existing games in the platform before importing to ensure all rom paths are up to date. Step 4: Import Artwork & Manuals Select which types of artwork and manuals you want to copy over from your MAME extras folders. Ideally you want all since Launchbox database might not have the snaps for all of these softlist titles. The plugin will intelligently mapped each artwork type to the right Launchbox artwork folder for each selected platform. Step 5: Processing & Summary The tool will now process all selected platforms, providing real-time progress updates. Once complete, it will display a detailed summary of the import session. The screenshot above shows the output for all 105 platforms (took ~5 minutes). Import complete! Games Removed: 3254 Imported: 16542 games Updated: 0 games Skipped (already existed): 462 games Clones Added as Additional Apps: 4365 games Platforms Created: 68 platforms --- Metadata Details --- Used MAME System Description Fallback: 1054 games Metadata Not Found (used filename): 1 games --- Health Status --- Marked as Broken (Unsupported/Preliminary): 3828 games --- Artwork & Manuals Summary --- Title Screens Copied: 6886 Gameplay Snaps Copied: 7583 Select Screens Copied: 117 Manuals Copied: 424 A Note on Saving: After the import is finished, LaunchBox needs to save all the changes to its database. For very large imports (100+ platforms), this can take several minutes. The UI may appear to hang during this time—this is normal. Please be patient and let it complete the save. Just for reference, this is what a fresh Launchbox collections will looked like after importing all 106 platforms for MAME 0.278 ROMset, using my preset 0.278 system-softlist YAML file. FAQ Q: Why create per-game custom command lines instead of using a universal LUA script? A: Simplicity and reliability. This method ensures that every game has a self-contained, correct launch command without relying on external scripts that can sometimes fail or require complex setup. It's the most straightforward way to guarantee playability out of the box. For advanced users who want to automate complex sequences (like loading from a tape, entering commands, etc.), MAME's autoboot_script feature is the ideal solution. You can find excellent examples of such scripts at RandoMame's autoboot_script repository. As a matter of fact, I'm also working on a separate project to provide these autoboot scripts. Stay tuned! Future Work Automatically assign newly added Platform to the Platform Categories from system-softlist YAML file Even though the system-softlist YAML file already defined various Platform Categories for the Platforms, I couldn't find any reference in the Launchbox Plugin API that mention how to assign multiple Platform Categories for a Platform. So for now you have to add them manually. Disclaimer This tool modifies your LaunchBox database (LaunchBox.xml and other files).

Visual Pinball clear logos pack consisting of 300+ images collected and edited from sites like VPForums, Pinsimdb, Google image search, Hyperspin Forums, and other users' collections. NOTE: These logos may be large and, in most cases, were originally intended for use with HyperPin and HyperSpin. They can be easily resized in HyperSpin and LaunchBox but BigBox apparently doesn't allow for resizing (that I can find). If you need smaller versions of the images, let me know and I will post an update. TO VIEW THESE IMAGES DO THE FOLLOWING: 1. Remove any images in your ..\LaunchBox\Images\Visual Pinball\Clear Logo folder 2. Unzip the archive to the same folder. 3. Delete your LaunchBox and/or BigBox cache. 4. Set LB/BB to show Clear Logos for the Visual Pinball games. The Visual Pinball Videos can be found at EmuMovies: https://emumovies.com/files/file/1393-visual-pinball-pack/

I used to make MS-DOS video snaps back in 2015 and submitted to Emumovies, and now I am back to making video snaps, starting with Nintendo Switch since I like the platform and the video snaps submitted, even Official ones are sort of a mixed bags. Most of them are either game trailer or having inconsistent video length. Not to mention the subpar edits that sometimes doesn't reflect the interesting part of the game. E.g. character dialog, meaningless wandering in town. In short, I simply don't like it. I prefer actual game play footage since the trailer could be a hit or miss, some only showing FMV. Not to mention the annoying few seconds ESRB/PEGI rating that announced the start of the trailer that really game browsing experience continuity when using frontend like BigBox. Most videos are 40s in duration, in which most of them consist of 35s of gameplay + 5s of title screen. A few of them are 30s gameplay + 10s of title screen if I couldn't find a suitble cutoff point to fit that 35s gameplay duration. An alternate version of 40s length is included if I find the snap interesting such as having different battle music. I also included a couple of long version video snap that are 1 minute in length if I find the gameplay interesting. But the long version is always accompanied with the regular 40s version. I am OCD when it comes to content creating. I meticulously and manually pick all scenes in hope that those capture the hightlight and essence of the game. Cuts are also combined with music transition so that the transition from one scene to the next are smooth. I even go as far as picking the interesting part of the title song that is attractive, rather than always the start of the theme song. On average, each video edit took me 20-30 minutes. All video snaps are edited using Da Vinci Resolve. Few of the video snaps are recorded by myself if I already have the recordings. For the rest, I manually search and download those game footage from YouTube that contains NO Watermark. I only resorted to video having subtle watermark if I couldn't find otherwise, such as several Atelier titles. Loudness are controlled so that True Peak (TP) is < -1.0dB and LUFS is < -14dB. All file are named according to Launchbox naming format, where any special character is replaced with underscore _. Enjoy this video snap pack, and leave me a comment or reply to this thread if you find my work interesting or need improvement. Pick your favorite snaps so I know the editing preference that you like. If you want, feel free to request any Switch title that you find subpar and I will try to best it out!

Created a template to a 3D ps3 case, its pretty simple to use in photoshop, pretty much drag and drop the cover art and name the spine and you are good to go, I also included a few i did that i couldn't find online using the template, hope it helps someone

I spend hours doing this so you don't have to. Creating configurations for play....not display. As you are most likely aware, arcade platforms are a pain to setup. Controls aren't standardised and changing settings via test menus can be tiresome. This is just a small configuration pack for the 12 Naomi 2 games. I separated these from the Naomi 1 games as they are far more demanding on HW. As a result OpenGL isn't the best choice if you don't have a high spec PC. Vulkan isn't the most stable either, so I absolutely recommend D3D11. After testing, I discovered this almost doubles the performance with some games compared to OpenGL. What you get with this pre configuration: -All Naomi 2 Games working (apart from Driving Simulator as it's not supported yet) -Analogue Volume correctly adjusted for 1:1 analogue range with a controller. -Wild Riders working correctly with no pesky rear brake being a dick. -All fixes needed have been done with Test Menu adjustments. Many of these games will not boot unless done so. -Only English versions apart from Initial D Arcade Ver. 2 as only the Japanese version works at the moment. INSTRUCTIONS: Download NVMEM Naomi, Remap Files for RA. Place NVMEM files in one of the following folders. RetroArch/saves/"roms folder location"/reicast or just RetroArch/saves/reicast. Depending on how you have your saves set to save it may be either of these. Place Control Remap files in RetroArch/config/remaps/Flycast Use my control images however you want. Frontends, pause menus etc. Here is the documentation for this configuration. Everything I have done on a per game basis is listed here along with which ROM version you need to use. I have also provided any passwords, engineers codes, cheat codes and important information here also. This is a consolidation of information. Everything that needs to be actioned by a player for e.g. a cheat code to unlock something will be in green. Beach Spikers beachspi -CHD required -2 Players needed setting in Test Menu to enable 2 Players -Needs dual monitor cabinet/setup for 4 Players Club Kart: European Session clubk2k3 -clubk2k3 doesn't ues a save card and already has everything unlocked -Analogue Volume correctly adjusted for 1:1 analogue range with a controller. -Card System needed Disabling in Test Menu before game would boot. -Steering may be inverted due to the orientation on first boot being random. -Driveboard Error on startup. Just press start to skip, it has no adverse effects. Driving Simulator -Not supported at this time. Flyinghead does have plans to get this game working Initial D Arcade Stage initdexp -CHD required -initdexp is the English Version -Analogue Volume correctly adjusted at default values Initial D Arcade Stage Ver. 2 initdv2j -CHD required -Only the Japanese version works at the moment. initdv2e (English Version) doesn't work -Analogue Volume correctly adjusted at default values Initial D Arcade Stage Ver. 3 initdv3e -CHD required -initdv3e is the English Version -Analogue Volume correctly adjusted at default values Soul Surfer soulsurf -Analogue Volume correctly adjusted for 1:1 analogue range with a controller. -Connecting the floor mat requires a button be held, otherwise the text will stay on screen. Put in a github request to have this input on by default. The King of Route 66 kingrt66 -Motor Power in the Test Menu needed turning off (NO-USE) for this game to boot. -CB-MIC has been disabled (NO-USE) in the Test Menu as this isn't emulated. -Auto-Acceleration has been turned off. This was for kids who couldn't reach the pedals in the OG cabinet. -Analogue Volume correctly adjusted for 1:1 analogue range with a controller. Virtua Fighter 4 vf4cart -CHD Version is available (vf4) however I opted for the cart version as it's a later revision. Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution vf4evoct -CHD Version is available (vf4evo) however I opted for the cart version as it's a later revision. Virtua Fighter 4 Final Tuned vf4tuned -CHD required -Network is off as this skips the loooong network check on boot, -Advertise Network is off as this gets rid of the icon on screen when in game. VF2 Music Cheats: Both players have to hold P&G after choosing a stage, and then a corresponding direction to get different music, U, D, L, or R, I think there's 4 0r 5 as neutral may be a direction too, they are slightly quieter than the normal bgm though. Different Costumes: Hold Start when selecting a character. Virtua Striker 3 vstrik3c -CHD Version is available (vstrik3) however I opted for the cart version -Game time set to MAX. Golden Goal set to 1m and PK set to Real PK Ranking mode: Insert your coin(s) then hold Down and press Start. Play against FC Sonic team: Win the final match of the game, and wait until the team photo appears at the congratulations screen. Then, press Short Pass three times, Shoot, Short Pass. If done correctly, the FC Sonic team will replace the FC Sega team. Unlock FC Sonic team: Highlight "Sweden" at the team selection team, then press Start. Highlight "Morocco", and then press Start. Highlight "Denmark", then press Start. Highlight "Spain", then press Start. Highlight "France", then press Start. If done correctly, the "FC Sonic" option will appear at the top right of the screen. Note: You may first need to play against the FC Sonic team before they can be selected as playable. Unlock FC Sega team: Highlight "France" at the team selection team, then press Start. Highlight "Cameroon", then press Start. Highlight "Spain", then press Start. Highlight "England", then press Start. Highlight "Germany", then press Start. Highlight "Argentina", then press Start. If done correctly, the "FC Sonic" option will appear at the top middle of the screen. Wild Riders wldrider -I managed to get this game to play properly without the rear brake being a dick. It took some lateral thinking but I done it without losing the use of the rear brake. Achieved by finagling the analogue volume. -Analogue Volume correctly adjusted for 1:1 analogue range with a controller.

Version 2.0.0 of the D&D 5th Edition Platform The relaunch of the D&D 5th Edition Platform has arrived! Quite some time ago (several years in fact) I had created a 5th edition version of the D&D Platform but eventually removed it. It had too many items with no artwork, no real content, or any real collectability. It was all 5th edition related content, just very unruly and not as graphically fleshed out or robust and my D&D Manuals & Modules Platform. Once I finally finished the D&D M&M Platform I was able to refocus my efforts on this 5th Edition with the experience points to produce a much more solid platform; worthy of sitting alongside the original. I create these platforms not only for those to use in their gaming sessions but to illustrate the amazing artwork, preserve the history and mythology of D&D, and as checklists for RPG/D&D collectors. There are so many variations, limited editions, rereleases, etc. that pulling them together in one place makes it much easier to manage and perhaps helps others discover items that were previously unknown. However, that meant leaving out a lot of the old miscellaneous supplementary content and only focusing on actual official retail releases from Wizards of the Coast. I hope you like the new platform. I am sure there will be updates as I discover more items to add, mistakes in the data, and find better quality images. Thanks so much to websites like TSRArchive, RPGGeek, eBay, and Worthpoint which without these amazing sites, none of this would be possible. I must reiterate, however, that NO PDFs or Software are included with this platform. This contemporary image and data compilation is for the preservation, enjoyment, and appreciation of the mythology, artwork, history, development, and universe that is 5th Edition D&D. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS For a new installation, just extract the LaunchBox folder in the archive into the same folder where your LaunchBox installation exists. There should not be any prompts asking to overwrite any core LaunchBox files. Only images and platform data files are included. You may need to clear your image cache in LaunchBox and BigBox to see the latest images. The paths to the Game/PDF files are all now set to Z:\5th Edition\ in the D&D 5th Edition.xml, since I am currently using a network drive that contains my files. You can change this to your path by doing the following: Navigate to your \LaunchBox\Data\Platforms folder and open the Dungeons & Dragons.xml file in TEXT Editor program (such as Notepad++). Find/Replace Z:\5th Edition\ with yourpath\ - You can use a RELATIVE (no specific drive letter) path such as ..\D&amp;D5E\ or an ABSOLUTE path such as C:\DnD5E\ Setting Up the D&D 5th Edition Platform after copying: Using your PC's Explorer/file system: Place your D&D PDFs in a folder that is at the same level as your LaunchBox directory (I use a network drive mapped to z:/D&D). See the image above on how to change that. Use FATMATCH or a similar program to rename your PDFs so they are similar to the image filenames: https://emumovies.com/files/file/227-fatmatch-file-renamer/ I've included a file named D&D 5E File Names.txt in the ZIP archive that contains all the filenames used. This may help you in renaming your files. I've also included a text file with XML code from the platforms XML named D&D 5th Edition Platform XML Snippet.txt. If you know how to edit XML, you can simply paste this in. This code snippet also contains the Platform Description that shows in the right-side display. Be sure to back up your Platforms.xml BEFORE editing. You can also right-click on the D&D 5th Edition menu icon to edit the platform them paste in the description. Selecting Platform Categories should make the D&D Platform automatically appear. If it doesn't, you can do the following: Within the LaunchBox Application Add a new Platform by selecting TOOLS ==> IMPORT ==> ROM Files Select the folder where you've stored your PDFs. In my case it's Z:\5th Edition\ If you use a folder named D&D that's at the same level as your LaunchBox folder, you'll only need to scan in a few files. This is just to get the Platform to show up. If you store your PDFs in a different named folder or at a different level then you'll have to rescan all the files. It's easier just to rename the directory. You can also FIND/REPLACE the ..\D&D\ path in the Dungeons & Dragons XML with your path. For example, if your D&D PDFs folder is c:\Emulators\Dungeons & Dragons 5E, you would need to set the <ApplicationPath>..\D&amp;D5E\ for every game in the XML to <ApplicationPath>..\Emulators\Dungeons &amp; Dragons 5E\ I have done this installation numerous times on different PCs to test. If you need help, please ask. I am not responsible if you mess up your LaunchBox installation Included in this archive is a 5th Edition directory that contains BAT files and LNK (shortcut files) to these BAT files. I created these a simple and seamless way to open multiple PFDs at one time. These are used to open all the books contained within a boxed set; such as the Core Rules Gift Sets or the Planescape book sets. You will likely need to edit the BAT file so the text commands point to your PDF's location. The shortcuts are used to open the BAT files so the multiple PDFs launch without showing any command prompt windows. You may need to edit the book sets images so they point to these shortcut files. I have already done this but your location may be different than what I used. These BAT and LNK files DO NOT contain any PDFs or website links. To get the 5th Edition D&D 3D images to show up do the following: Select the D&D 5th Edition menu item in LaunchBox Navigate to VIEW ==> IMAGE GROUP ==> 3D BOXES To have the PDFs Launch with the PDF reader of your choice: In LaunchBox, select ALL images that pertain to PDFs Right-click on one of the images and select EDIT. The BULK Edit window will pop up. Select EMULATOR from the Field and change the value to Adobe Acrobat. In order to launch your PDFs, you can set up Adobe Acrobat (or some other PDF Reader) as an emulator in LaunchBox. Click on the 3 horizontal lines near the top left then navigate to TOOLS ==> MANAGE ==> EMULATORS Click ADD then add Adobe Acrobat as a new emulator as seen in this image. Add D&D 5th Edition as an associated Platform for the Adobe Acrobat emulator. To have the background image in LaunchBox be the same as the Box-Front image, perform the following steps: Navigate to TOOLS ==> OPTIONS Click on Background Priorities and check the BOX-FRONT checkbox. Set the Default Background to Use Blown Up Art To get all D&D screenshot images to display for previewing, check the BOX-FRONT, BOX-BACK, BOX-3D, and BOX-SPINE checkboxes in SCREENSHOT Priorities. If you want to add a description to the main D&D Platform, do the following in LaunchBox: Open the D&D 5th Edition Platform XML Snippet.txt text file included in the ZIP archive. Right-Click on the Dungeons & Dragons Platform and select EDIT. Click on the Notes tab. Copy then Paste the text from the NOTES section of the D&D 5th Edition Platform XML Snippet.txt into the NOTES text box. Click OK SPECIAL NOTE: When installing the D&D Platform on the FREE version of LaunchBox, the LaunchBox application will automatically remove the custom filters from the D&D 5th Edition XML file. If LaunchBox is later updated to the PAID version, it will no longer show/contain the custom filters. You will need to re-extract the D&D 5th Edition XML from the ZIP archive (\LaunchBox\Data\Platforms) then overwrite the existing XML in the ..\LaunchBox\Data\Platforms directory on your local drive. This must be done while the LaunchBox application is shut down.

What is it? Use this plugin to display bezels for emulators that don't natively support them. What does it do? It displays a bezel and resizes the emulator window to fit within the bezels transparent area. What's required to make this plugin work? LaunchBox v13.3 (or newer), the plugin file, bezel images and some minor setup. No more. No less. (See Setting up) Do I need to provide my own bezel images? Yes. (See Setting up for where to place them) Will it work with game specific bezels? Yes. Will this work with all emulators? Yes, with exception. RetroArch and MAME emulators will not show in the list of emulators and cannot be used with this plugin. The emulators that have been tested so far all work. Some adjustments may be necessary. (see Emulator Settings) Will this work with storefront games or Windows games? No. Can I use my existing RocketLauncher bezel configuration files?You can use the existing platform.png and platform.ini files from RL. These existing files should be located under: /RocketLauncher/Media/Bezels/platform_name/_default/something.ini (and something.png) (See Setting up [step #3]) What are the .ini files for? The .ini (configuration) files tell the plugin how to resize and move the emulator window to fit within the bezel. (See .ini (configuration) Files for more info and Testing for creating and saving them) Can this plugin add shaders as well? No. Yes. See Using Shaders (new v2.1.0) Disclaimer This works on my test PC. I didn’t test it on my cab because I didn’t want to change my emulator settings to not use fullscreen (see Emulator Settings). Outside of RetroArch and MAME, I don’t use bezels, so didn’t want to mess-up-a-good-thing. There are no guarantees, express or implied… blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. There is no risk. This plugin makes no changes to LaunchBox or your emulators. If you decide this isn’t for you, simply undo any fullscreen changes you made and (with LB/BB not running) delete the BezelLauncher folder. Special Thanks Special thanks to @MadK9 for the idea, direction and help with testing! Without him, I would have never contemplated starting this project. Also a big thanks to @Sbaby for testing un-tested emulators with the plugin. Installing With LaunchBox/BigBox not running... Download the plugin .zip file "Unblock" the file Right-click the file, select Properties, check the box "Unblock", click OK. Or better yet, just use 7-zip to open the file Copy the contents (a folder called "BezelLauncher") into your \LaunchBox\Plugins\ folder Start LaunchBox Setting up Start BezelLauncher Setup from the LaunchBox Tools menu, then click Close This will create the \Plugins\BezelLauncher\Bezels\platform_name\ subfolders Copy your bezel images into their respective platform_name subfolders See Bezel Images for more information (optional) If you have existing RL platform_name.ini files, copy those alongside the image files See .ini (configuration) Files for more information Restart BezelLauncher Setup Select a platform Choose an emulator you wish to use for that platform. Check Disabled to enable it Click Test Adjust (Move/resize) the orange frame to fit within the view area of the bezel (See Testing) Click Shaders to enable, adjust and change shader (see Using Shaders) (new v2.1.0) Click Save [to save the .ini file] Click Save on the main setup screen to add the emulator to the list of Enabled platform emulators Repeat for other platforms and emulators you wish to add You must click "Save" for each emulator you've enabled, separately. Maintenance After adding/removing platforms or emulators Run BezelLauncher Setup Click Refresh Continue with Setting up, step #5 Testing To configure the placement of the emulator window within the bezel (Requires an existing bezel image): Run BezelLauncher Setup Select a platform and an emulator Enable it (if it's not already) Click Test Move and resize the frame Click [and hold] the left or right side of the frame to move it around Click [and hold] the bottom right corner to resize Use the on-screen buttons to fine-tune the adjustments The on-screen display will show information about the emulator window. (You can click and drag the OSD to move it around as needed) x, y = upper left monitor-coordinates of the emulator window w, h = width and height of the emulator window x, y = lower right monitor-coordinates of the emulator window If any of the values are red, they are off the screen The OUTSIDE edge of the frame is the emulator window extents After adjusting, click Save. This will overwrite any existing configuration file. Using Shaders (new v2.1.0) First you need some shaders. Place the .png images in the /Bezels/Shaders/ folder (Scanline.png 'shader' is included) Start BezelLauncher Setup Select your platform and emulator and click Test Click Shaders Check the box to turn shader on Use the slider to adjust the shader Adjust the opacity down to lighten the shader Use the drop-down box to select a different shader Click Save to save your settings Parameters Depending on the emulator and the bezel, you may need to check 1 or more of the following parameters: (h) hideStuff Check this if you see the desktop behind bezel while the game is loading. This adds a black background during the startup process. (s) startupSleeper “Hide stuff” for a little longer during startup (3 seconds) (l) longerSleep Same as above (4 seconds) (g) hideGameStartup Check this if LB Game Startup screen is showing behind the bezel at game startup When selecting a platform, if the plugin detects an emulator that has been tested, “suggested” parameters will be shown. Your mileage may vary. Emulator Settings For the plugin to move/resize the emulators’ window, you will need to disable fullscreen in the emulator(s). This may be as easy as removing "-f" or "-fullscreen" from the Default Command-line Parameters (depending on the emulator). Beyond that, of the emulators I've tested, the only one that needs to have its Default Command-line Parameters altered is SuperModel. You will need to manually set the resolution. Start BezelLauncher Setup Select your Super Model 3 platform and Enable it Click Test and after adjusting the frame to where you want it, make note of the W(idth) and H(eight) #'s shown in the OSD. Save and Close. (Be sure to click Save on the main Setup screen to save Enabled as well.) Edit your SuperModel emulator (in LaunchBox) and set the Default Command-line Parameters to "-res=W,H" (no quotes, no spaces and replacing W & H with the #'s noted above) Example: -res=1420,1076 Bezel Images When you run BezelLauncher Setup for the 1st time, the plugin creates subfolders for each of your eligible platforms. They are created in: \LaunchBox\Plugins\BezelLauncher\Bezels\[platform_name]\ The platform image file needs to be in the [platform_name] folder and must be named the exact same as the platform. \BezelLauncher\Bezels\Sony PSP\Sony PSP.png Game-specific bezel files Game-specific bezel folders (or files) can be named after the games ROM filename or the games Title. Using the games Title: If the Title has 'invalid file name characters', those characters will need to be replaced with _ (underscore). The exact same way LaunchBox does with its image files (but without the -01 suffix). Example: Title = Disney-Pixar's Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue! Bezel = Disney-Pixar_s Toy Story 2_ Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue!.png NOTE: Additional Apps game Titles are (i.e.) "Play USA Version...". So the bezel would be "Play USA Version....png". Same rules apply with 'invalid file name characters'. Invalid characters are: < (less than) > (greater than) : (colon) " (double quote) / (forward slash) \ (backslash) | (vertical bar or pipe) ? (question mark) * (asterisk) ' (single quote) Not technically invalid (post-DOS), but consistent with LaunchBox character replacement Storing game-specific bezels: Option 1: Place your game bezel images directly inside their respective \[platform_name]\ folder. Game-specific image files must be named the exact same as the games ROM file or the games Title (accounting for invalid characters). example: \BezelLauncher\Bezels\Sony PSP\After Burner - Black Falcon (USA) (En,Fr,Es,It,Nl) (PSP) (PSN).png Option 2: Place your game-specific bezel image folders under the \[platform_name]\ folder. The subfolder must be named the exact same as the games ROM file or Title (barring invalid characters). The .png and .ini files in the subfolder can be any filename. example: \BezelLauncher\Bezels\Sony PSP\After Burner - Black Falcon (USA) (En,Fr,Es,It,Nl) (PSP) (PSN)\thisIsAnyFileName.png See Launching different game versions for information about bezel requirements for games that are combined as Additional Apps. ScummVM Setting up ScummVM for use with this plugin: In LaunchBox, Edit games using ScummVM. In the ScummVM section, have both checkboxes un-checked. (Fullscreen and Aspect Correction). This cannot be done using the Bulk Edit Wizard, so will need to be done on a per-game basis. One-at-a-time. If it's not displaying correctly with just the above, try the (optional) following: Navigate to /LaunchBox/Third Party/SummVM/ and start ScummVM.exe. On the Graphics tab, set Graphics Mode to opengl. Leave the other 2 as default and the check box's un-checked. Click OK and Exit. ScummVM Bezel Files: To use bezels with games using LB's integrated ScummVM, you will need to set them up manually. It will not appear in BezelLauncher Setup. Navigate to the plugins Bezels subfolder and add your platform folder. i.e. \LaunchBox\Plugins\BezelLauncher\Bezels\ScummVM\ Add your platform default png and ini files to this folder. i.e. ScummVM.png ScummVM.ini Game specific bezels for ScummVM must be named the same as the Game Data Folder. i.e. D:\LaunchBox\Games\ScummVM\King's Quest 1 - Quest for the Crown\[game files] use: "King's Quest 1 - Quest for the Crown.png" DOSBox The integrated version of DOSBox is NOT supported by this plugin. I couldn’t get it to cooperate 100% of the time. So going with plan “B”. To use DOSBox with this plugin, you will need to install and set up DOSBox-X. Setting up DOSBox for use with this plugin: Note: BezelLauncher Setup will NOT show your DOSBox platform ('MS-DOS') as an available platform. So don't bother looking for it. Download DOSBox-X DOSBox-X releases can be found here: https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/releases Download the vsbuild-win64 version. (direct link for the download file) Create a new folder under \LaunchBox\ThirdParty\ and name it DOSBox-X Extract the contents of the downloads "\bin\x64\Release\" folder into the new folder Be sure to unblock the zip file before extracting (unless you’re using 7-Zip) Configuring DOSBox-X In Windows Explorer, navigate to \LaunchBox\ThirdParty\DOSBox-X\. Make a copy of dosbox-x.conf. Rename the copy to [something like] "BL-dosbox-x.conf" Right-click the new 'BL-dosbox-x.conf' file and select edit (Notepad++ works great for this. But any text editor (Notepad) will work) Look for the following keys and change their Values as shown: (starting on approximately line 78) fullresolution = 1400x1080 windowresolution = 1400x1080 windowposition = 260,0 output = ttf showmenu = false "1400x1080" (2 locations) is the dimension of the transparent area of your bezel. Adjust as necessary. From your MS-DOS.ini file, use [Right X]-[Left X] for the 1st value (1400) and [Right Y]-[Left Y] for the 2nd (1080) "260,0" is the upper-left coordinate of the transparent area. Use the Left-X value for the 1st number and Left-Y for the 2nd. Save the changes and close the editor. Configure games to use DOSBox-X The following assumes your MS-DOS platform games are already setup to use the integrated version of DOSBox. In LaunchBox, select all your DOSBox games and press Ctrl+E to start the Bulk Edit Wizard. (Select 1 game in the MS-DOS platform, then press Ctrl+A to select all) On the 2nd screen select the Field Custom DOSBox Version EXE Path for Value, Browse to and select dosbox-x.exe Click Next, Next Click “Yes, I would like to make more changes” select the Field DOSBox Configuration File for Value, Browse to and select the new file you created (BL-dosbox-x.conf) Click Next. Next (again). Click "No, I would not like to make more changes" MS-DOS Bezel Files: This assumes your DOSBox platform is called "MS-DOS". In the Bezels subfolder under the plugin folder, create a new folder called 'MS-DOS'. In \LaunchBox\Plugins\BezelLauncher\Bezels\MS-DOS\, add your bezel files (MS-DOS.png and MS-DOS.ini). Game specific bezels for DOSBox need to be named the same as the Game Data Folder i.e. D:\LaunchBox\Games\MS-DOS\Cosmos Cosmic Adventure\COSMO1.EXE use "Cosmos Cosmic Adventure.png" .ini (configuration) Files The .ini files contain the monitors' coordinates for placing the emulator window. The Upper Left x,y coordinate and the Lower Right x,y coordinate Example: Upper Left X Coordinate=240 Upper Left Y Coordinate=100 Lower Right X Coordinate=1680 Lower Right Y Coordinate=1080 The platform ini file must be named the exact same as the platform. If copied from RocketLauncher, you may need to rename it (removing any under_scores). i.e. \BezelLauncher\Bezels\Sony PSP\Sony PSP.ini For game-specific ini files, if they are located in a subfolder below /[platform_name]/ (see Bezel Images, Option 2, above), they can have any filename. If they are inside the /[platform_name]/ folder (Option 1), then they must be named the exact same as the games ROM file or Title. If a game-specific .ini file doesn’t exist, the plugin will use the games platform.ini file. Launching different game versions Also known as Additional Apps, when right-clicking a game and selecting Play Version, the Additional App is not required to have its own bezel files. If the Additional App doesn't have its own bezel, the plugin will look for the Default Games' bezel. If neither of those exist, it will use the platforms’ bezel. This eliminates the need to have a separate set of bezel files for each version of the game. Useful since they most likely all use the same image. This only works for games that are Additional Apps. Plugin Folder Structure As always, any thoughts, views, opinions, [constructive] criticism, comments and suggestions are welcome.

This one took a while. Way, way longer than expected. But here it is, everything that needed to be configured, calibrated, unlocked, mapped or generally a pain in the butt to get working, has been done for you. Firstly, thanks to @Joejoe who was instrumental in consolidating this info. He researched a bunch of stuff and got some things working that I couldn't. What's been done for you? Some of these games had crazy input methods with their arcade cabinets and were mapped to some unintuitive / bizarre default inputs mappings by default. Controls have been scrutinised and tested and revised and tested once again. I haven't just set whatever willy nilly. If a fighting game has a modern port or counterpart I have mapped it to the default layout for that modern version. Everything else has been mapped to be as intuitive as possible, and I have provided layout images so you need never be lost with buttons again. -All Hidden Characters & Content Unlocked. There are 20 games with some form unlockable hidden content. -Analogue Volume adjusted for every game that required it. 13 In Total. This ensures a 1:1 analogue range on a controller (makes racers steering less twitchy). For e.g. the steering and pedals for racing games. -Blood is now ON in the censored games -All light gun games have been calibrated for both players -Optional 2 Player Mouse Support INSTRUCTIONS Download NVMEM Naomi, Remap Files for RA and your choice of 1 or 2 Player cfg Files for Mouse Light Gun Place NVMEM files in one of the following folders. RetroArch/saves/"roms folder location"/reicast or just RetroArch/saves/reicast. Depending on how you have your saves set to save it may be either of these. Place Control Remap files in RetroArch/config/remaps/Flycast Place optional Mouse .cfg files in RetroArch/config/Flycast Use my control images however you want. Frontends, pause menus etc. ENJOY!!! Here is the documentation for this configuration. Everything I have done on a per game basis is listed here. Only games that have an enhancement, calibration, password, unlockable etc etc is listed here. A full list of supported games is at the bottom of the page. I have also provided any passwords, engineers codes, cheat codes and important information here also. This is a consolidation of information. Everything that needs to be actioned by a player for e.g. a cheat code to unlock something will be in green. 18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker 18wheelu -The parent rom 18wheelr doesn't work in Flycast due to controls not working correctly -This game only has manual transmission that had a gear stick on the original hardware. The stick on the og hardware simply held down a button for high gear and reverse. The button needs to be held for those gears which the physical stick would do. Once pushed into place, it would stay there like a real gearstick using a spring loaded thingy, while keeping the button pressed. There isn't a way to have this held in place using a controller, you have to hold the desired gear button yourself. -Analogue Volume calibrated correctly for 1:1 analogue input for the steering and pedals on a controller. Makes racing games less twitchy. Airline Pilots alpilot -The controls do not translate well to a controller. -It also runs like garbage. It's here but who gives a crap. The novelty was in the arcade cabinet, as a stand alone game it's poo. -Analogue Volume calibrated correctly for 1:1 analogue input for the steering and pedals on a controller. Alien Front alienfnt -Analogue Volume calibrated for 1:1 analogue range with a controller. Canon Spike cspike -This game appears to have macro inputs or something like that hard coded to the core itself. L2 and R2 are special attacks, which are button combinations usually. These do not appear in the control options in RA. Also, these to not register in the test menu either but they sure as shit work. Always leave these inputs alone (L2 & R2) as you'll get clashing. An unexpected bonus. -Hidden macro controls mapped on images. -Mega Man and Baby Bonnie Hood Unlocked. Press all the way to the left or right to access them. -Cammy Shadaloo outfit from Street Alpha 2 Gold Unlocked Capcom Vs SNK Millennium Fight 2000 capsnk -Every hidden character unlocked: Evil Ryu Evil Lori Akuma -All hidden stages and bosses unlocked To set all character ratios to set to 2: Hold A + B, then hold Start at the title screen.

DON'T FORGET CHD's.

Yeahhhh..... this took ages.... it usually does. This project aims to present GC games in 16:9 to everyone, as easily as possible. Just drop Pre Configured files into Dolphin and enjoy. No need to setup yourself. Part 2 is here, and man did it almost break me. I could go on about what went into this but who really cares, so I'll get on with it. I have pre applied all widescreen cheat codes to per game .ini files for Dolphin. Ones that are available to my knowledge at least. There are a few sources for these codes and I made sure to check each one to ensure I was getting the best and most up to date codes. In a nut shell: All codes that are available and working have been applied per game. Many sources checked. As many versions and regions covered as possible. If a game has a code available for multiple versions / regions it has been configured for. Check the version list in the table below to make sure you are using the correct version. Most games tested and some games have been culled from the list if the codes still allowed pop-in and jank. Performance enhancements such as 60Hz for the PAL games that don't allow it to be selectable, have been applied also. If you don't want these simply turn them off. Dolphins Widescreen Hack disabled for all games that do not need it, and enabled for the ones that do. No need to worry if you have it on or not. I've made it idiot proof. Configured for both Force 16:9 and Stretch to Window. Make your choice. IMPORTANT: We are hacking widescreen here and where some of these games may look and feel like they were designed for 16:9, others do not. UI and Menus may be a bit misaligned and other relatively minor visual issues. Be a little forgiving. However, anything that was too crappy looking I have not included. Also, as we are pushing the HW to draw in more geometry, assets etc performance with some games has been impacted. This is especially true for games that have had their draw distance/culling completely disabled, allowing everything, even beyond the FOV to be drawn and rendered. These are few and far between but some key titles do this e.g. Metroid Prime 1 & 2. Some performance scrimping may be needed depending on your PC. IINSTRUCTIONS I advise using another instance of Dolphin specifically for widescreen. Choose your flavour and download - Forced 16:9 or Stretched to Fit Window Place the .ini files in the GameSettings folder of Dolphin. This will be in your roaming app data on your C drive if you are not using Dolphin in portable mode. Enjoy!!! In the table below is the list of supported games at the moment. This list will grow as more WS cheats are made. Please check the versions that are usable for each game. Some games have all versions covered and others only have one. Preferred versions are stated as such. If a game has multiple (Europe) versions available I have configured for the main PAL version. These can be identified with the 'P' before the numbers in their game ID's for e.g. GPEP08.

Watch the video. There's a lot to explain with bulk renaming. YOU WILL NEED TO SELECT THE CORRECT MAPPINGS FOR YOUR SPECIFIC XINPUT CONTROLLER. IF YOUR CONTROLLER IS NOT INCLUDED YOU WILL NEED TO BULK RENAME THE MAPPINGS FILES TO YOU CONTROLLER NAME/ID. IF YOUR CONTROLLER IS NOT HERE, LET ME KNOW WHAT THE ID IS AND I'LL ADD IT...AT SOME POINT. DINPUT USERS WILL NEED TO USE DS4WINDOWS or X360CE TO GET THEIR CONTROLLER TO SHOW AS A XBOX 360 CONTROLLER. RAWINPUT MAPPING FILES ARE NOW NAMED TO INCLUDE YOUR VID NUMBER. YOU WILL NEED TO BULK RENAME THESE TO INCLUDE YOUR SPECIFIC ID's. -Current list of controller specific XINPUT PRE MAPS: PDP Rock Candy XBOX Controller Xbox 360 Controller Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver (XBOX) Xbox One Controller Xbox One Elite Controller Xbox One S Controller Xbox Series X Controller Xbox Series X Elite Controller Last time, I configured this for RetroArch as it has a better and more mailable control configuration. But....now Standalone supports more games and it's an overall better experience for the end user. Not for the person configuring mind you. My main issue with Standalone is that you can't stack inputs like you can in RetroArch. So you can't have the same input in multiple locations or map multiple inputs to the same button. This prohibited mapping the D-Pad and the Left Stick so you have the choice for those relevant games. However, I "found" a work around. By adding the directional analog inputs directly to the mapping file, with the d-pad inputs already mapped (stacking them...kinda), it'll force Flycast to use both the D-pad and Left Stick. This presented a bit of an issue as it didn't seem to like having any other analog inputs mapped at the same time as the left stick and d-pad. So LT&RT and any other anaolg inputs needed to be avoided when mapping these games with the left stick in addition to the D-Pad. Not a big deal at all. Still can't stack other inputs but that is just fine also. Trackball Games / DJ Games / Pool Games = Mouse Usage All the trackball games now play great and are included. They are hardcoded to the mouse, so consider these games to be keyboard/controller AND mouse games. Some of these can be controlled just with the mouse and others will require you use the keyboard or controller in conjunction with the mouse. Shootout Pool's 'Cue Tip' input (for spin) can ONLY be controlled with the left stick controller. The DJ games are actually playable and enjoyable when you figure out the controls. Shootout Pool works amazingly, which I thought I'd never see. It plays great and the 'Prize' version is super addictive, new fav game on Naomi unironically. RAW INPUT MUST BE USED WITH THESE GAMES. LIST IN DOCUMNTATION BELOW As a side note, OutTrigger now plays like an Arena shooter PC FPS with movement on WSAD....it's AWESOME. Cards and VMUs We also have card scanning functionality with Mushiking that is easy to use. Card saving for Virtua Fighter network character progression, with the possibility to don funny hats, different outfits and network exclusive moves. Inital D card saving is awesome, overall the whole card saving system is absolutely awesome tbh and works with all games that use them. VMU functionality is something I have just discovered with Naomi and I need to do some more investigating as to what the VMU actually does for each game. I have setup the VMU per game (ones that have VMU functionality) to future proof this if I end up providing some saves or you want to take a look yourself. Light Gun Stuff Light gun games now all reload correctly while retaining accuracy. Some games have off screen reload in addition to a reload button. Check the documentation for more info on this. As per usual RawInput for 2 Player Light gun usage had been done in addition to SDL. If you are only using 1 player mouse or just controllers, turn RawInput OFF. If you are using 2 mice or Lightgun(s) turn RawInput ON. You can turn it on and off easily mid gameplay with no restart required and the buttons will be the same, with no adverse effects. RawInput setting is NOT saveable per game with Standalone. Unlike RetroArch, controllers can be used in conjunction with mice/lightguns, as long as a controller is plugged in you can use it at any point during gameplay. No excuse not to play 2 player. You know what to expect by now. Obsessive configuration CONFIGURATION FILE INSTRUCTIONS You will want to use another instance of Flycast specifically for Arcade. Download Flycast Pre Config Files from this page. Place .cfg file & data folder into Flycast file system. Replace anything already there. Find out what your controller ID is. It will be in the controller settings, plain as day at the top. Select the correct remaps FOR YOUR SPECIFIC CONTROLLER in the Pre Configured Remaps Folder. Place the mappings folder contained into Flycast file system. If your specific controller isn't included you will have to bulk rename the mappings files to your controller name/ID. As long as you have an XINPUT controller these should work. Set ROMS/bios/Content path. PLAY!! Platform XML INSTRUCTIONS Download the platform XMLs from this page. Backup your old xmls just in case (if you have them) Make sure LaunchBox is not running Place the platform XMLs into Data->Platforms folder in LaunchBox Start LaunchBox. The Sega Naomi 1 & 2 and Atomiswave platforms should be showing in the Platforms list. DO THE FOLLOWING FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL PLATFORM Select all games in the new platform (Ctrl+A), then go to Tools->File Management->Change ROMs Folder Path for Selected Games Find your ROMs folder and select it. Don't forget to set your emulator path, and set it as the default for Atomiswave/Naomi/Naomi 2 platforms. Below will be the test menu & config documentation for this project. It will be split up into platforms. Naomi Will be split into some subsections as there are 128 games. Cheats and other info is also included here.

This is something RetroArch can't do for the moment. -You can play this game with 1 or 3 screens. When using one screen, the second screen is used for the twin version or just the test menu if set to single cab. -There's way too many inputs to map the 6 Speed gear stick and you would also need to use the clutch on the right stick.

Only downside is Steves campaign is in Japanese, but isn't really a barrier at all. There is some hilarious writing tho, no voices but the subtitles are amazing cringeworthy gloriousness.

Along with a power up card of your choice. -You then battle in Rock, Paper, Scissors battles against enemy beetles. -This can be played in RetroArch but due to how the card scanning mechanic works it can't be facilitated. Without the cards you will always default to the Japanese beetle, unable to select another character or power up. -The card system for this game does work in Standalone, all you need is the codes from the cards and manually enter it into the card section of the pause/quick menu of the standalone version and insert card when prompted. -To play 2 players, when prompted to select 1 or 2 players you need to press any button on the second controller.

ONLY USE RAW INPUT Crackin' DJ crackndj -Turntable is hardcoded to the mouse. It's super confusing as there were 2 turntables on the og cab, both of which are mapped to the mouse. It looks like up and down on the mouse is the right turntable with left and right being the left turntable. It may have to stay as one of those slightly awkward ones due to the turntables being hardcoded to the mouse. It would be awesome to have 2 turntables mapped to mice individually, you could easily make your own simple turntables out of cardboard lol. -Crossfader is hardcoded to the controller in RetroArch but not in Standalone. -I'm a genius, I don't proclaim it often, but man I have outdone myself on this one. The crossfader is pretty much the most used input. I have mapped this to the controller and keyboard for choice....but....by simply mapping the cross fader left/right to the left and right click, it has made this game actually playable. Like I have actually been having fun with this one. Once you figure out the Up Down Left Right / left turntable right turntable thing, you're set. -Calibrated -RAW INPUT MUST BE USED -ALL INPUTS ARE MAPPED TO THE MOUSE. NO NEED TO USE A CONTROLLER OR KEYBOARD FOR GAMEPLAY -Despite this the fader is still mapped to A,D on keyboard or the LEFT stick on a controller.

If you want to use Side/Top spin you MUST use the left stick on the controller at the same time as striking the ball with the mouse. Personally, I can get on with this game without using top/side spin. It's there if you want it. Shootout Pool Prize shootpl shootplm -A stripped down version made as a gambling game of sorts. You pay a credit, and get money per ball you pot with the option to pay out or continue after every shot. Actually plays better than the 'normal' version due to less inputs. -A super addictive game.

Soqueroeu TV Backgrounds Backgrounds for Mega Bezel Shader on Retroarch ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: This new package requires updated Retroarch versions (1.9.8 or higher) and Shader Mega Bezel pack V 0.9.097 (2022-01-05 Rev 2) or later. ------------------------------------- This is about my original TV backgrounds for use in conjuction with HyperspaceMadness Mega Bezel Reflection Shader. I think lots of people would be pleased to play old games using an actual CRT TV, so I created my own project as a nice way to have a simulated TV… INSIDE your actual TV or monitor. Believe me, this works pretty well! Please consider my work with this project as complete. New backgrounds may or may not eventually appear. Feedback is really welcome. I hope everybody enjoys SOQUEROEU – Mega Bezel TV Backgrounds! ----------------------------------------- What is SOQUEREU - Mega Bezel TV Backgrounds? My TV backgrounds are meant to be used with Retroarch. They are not conventional screen overlays: included presets automatically load configurations for Mega Bezel Reflection shader to obtain maximum retro-feeling. In fact, they are designed to work as an addon to the shader and cannot be used standalone like standard overlays as they don’t have any trasparent region for tube. Why? My idea is to develop special backgrounds to be used while playing close to big screens. Taking inspiration from other designers projects, I started creating my own backgrounds in Photoshop featuring simple TV images. They are intended to as little space for the image tube as possible, bringing comfort for those who play close to big screens. Users may find several spots to improve my work, after all I’m still tranining my skill with graphical tools! Btw, I tried to develop a wide variation of colors and shapes, so they wouldn’t result repetitive. I hope people will enjoy playing games and customizing their experience with my assets. What is Mega Bezel Reflection Shader? This is a collection of special shaders with lots of customization possibilities, as well as beautiful real-time tube reflections! They were developed by HyperSpaceMadness, with feedback from many people who like old games. In my opinion, this is one of the biggest contributions to the retrogaming emulation scene. Requirements Retroarch 1.9.8 or later with simple presets enabled. Slang shaders previously installed in your Retroarch (download from Retroarch’s update menu). Shader Mega Bezel pack V 0.9.097 (2022-01-05 Rev 2) or later. Features (v2.1) All backgrouns 16:9 @ 3840x2160 (4K) png format; Day and night presets for a comfortable experience (Night need normal preset for reference); No need for additional advanced preset adjustments; Flat and curve screen presets (NEW); Some graphics have color variations (NEW); Generic graphics for systems without their own TV (NEW); Added Nintendo Wii 16x9 preset (NEW); Added Sega Dreamcast preset (NEW); Systems included: 3DO Atari 2600 NEC PCE Super Grafx NEC PC Engine NEC PC Engine CD NEC PC Engine Duo NEC PC-FX NEC Turbo Duo NEC Turbo Grafx 16 NEC Turbo Grafx CD Nintendo Famicom Nintendo Famicom FDS Nintendo GameCube Nintendo N64 Nintendo NES Nintendo Super Famicom Nintendo Super Game Boy Nintendo Super NES Nintendo Wii (4x3 and 16x9) Sega Dreamcast Sega Mark III Sega Master System Sega Saturn Sega SG-1000 Sega CD Sega Genesis SNK NeoGeo AES Sony Playstation Sony Playstation 2 (4x3 only) To learn more about Mega Bezel Shader, please visit HSM's Forum Libretro page . ------------------------------------------- How to use these backgrounds? This guide assumes that you already use Mega Bezel shaders. It means you must have the Mega Bezel shader pack previously installed. If you haven't used these special shaders yet, look for additional information further down in this document. These backgrouns are in 16:9 @ 3840x2160 format. Presets will always use the Standard version of Mega Bezel. Please note, there are no presets with Advanced parameter in this package. Shader presets use relative path. You can then unzip this pack to any folder from the Retroarch root folder if you wish. If you choose a location other than this guide, consider the locations you determine to find shader presets. 1 - Inside the downloaded .zip you will see a folder called Soqueroeu-TV-Backgrounds_V2.1. Unzip this folder to Retroarch/shaders/ 2 - When a game is running, load a shader preset. Find presets in one of these directories: Retroarch/shaders/Soqueroeu-TV-Backgrounds_V2.1/presets/TV-Console Retroarch/shaders/Soqueroeu-TV-Backgrounds_V2.1/presets/TV-Console-Night Once applied, a shader preset might look like this: NOTE: Some shader generated bezels are combined with a bezel built into the graphic. If you want more freedom to create your own bezel, you can use "solid" graphics available for some of them. This may require editing the file paths in the preset. Beginning Users if it's your first experience with Mega Bezel Shaders, here the complete instructions: 1 - You must have Retroarch 1.9.8 or later (you will not be able to load in previous versions). 2 - You will need Slang shaders previously installed in your Retroarch. Download them from Retroarch's update menu. NOTE: You will only be able to see the Slang Shaders in the Retroarch download list if video drivers is set to Vulkan. It may be necessary to save changes and restart your Retroarch. 3 - You will need Shader Mega Bezel pack. Find the links on the MegaBezel page. 4 - If you have previous versions of Mega Bezel installed, you need to delete the old shader pack. Do not overwrite files, this can cause crashes. 5 - After downloading Mega Bezel pack, see inside the .zip there is a folder called bezel. Copy this folder into the following directory: Retroarch/shaders/shaders_slang. 6 - After downloading the TV Backgrounds pack, inside the .zip you will see a folder called Soqueroeu-TV-Backgrounds_V2.1. Unzip this folder to: Retroarch/shaders. 7 - Open Retroarch and go to driver options (Settings>Driver>Video). Set the video driver to Vulkan. It also works with GLCore, but seems to be faster with Vulkan. 8 - Still in Retroarch, go to Settings>Video>Scale. Set integer value scale to OFF. Set the screen aspect ratio to match your monitor, for example 16: 9. 9 - When a game is running, load a shader preset. Find presets in one of these directories: /Retroarch/shaders/Soqueroeu-TV-Backgrounds_V2.1/presets/TV-Console /Retroarch/shaders/Soqueroeu-TV-Backgrounds_V2.1/presets/TV-Console-Night Note: A shader preset can take between 5 and 10 seconds to load. On first use, small stutters may occur when navigating through the parameter menus. The loading time can also be a little longer. This happens because the shader is caching the changes. Wait and trust! 10 - If any background appears upside down, access the shader parameters and modify the Flip Viewport Vertical option, in the [FLIP & ROTATE] section. 11 - If you want to change shader parameters, you should know that MegaBezel offers several customization options. Once you have desired result, you can save preset to Core (active core), content directory or whole system. I recommend you save by applying to platform/console folder contents, as each system operates with different display resolutions and a customization may present unwanted results for some other core. IMPORTANT: When saving a preset, make sure you have the Simple Presets feature set to ON. This will save a preset that has a reference to the preset you loaded, along with any parameter changes you made. This is what will keep your presets loading correctly when the shader is updated in the future. Have a good time!

If there was one system platform that needed a decent 2D front and spine image set, its GBA. There are some decent GBA 2D front image collections out there, but none of them include spine images. I tried to be as accurate as possible and I think most of the FRONT covers are accurate, some spines images may be completely custom tho. (no, I dont have a list of the ones that might be completely custom, I should have kept track). And yes some front covers are upscaled, but not to the point where they look terrible. All North American games are included, along with most Euro exclusives. All the shitty GBA Video movie "games" are included, but it was hard to find decent source scans for most of them. I did not include most of the 2 or 3 game packs that had a single release. The 2 or 3 game packs I did include, are those that did NOT have a single release. Some Japanese exclusives that have been translated or use english menus have been included, but not many. I did include ALL Famicom Mini boxes that were only released in Japan, only because the boxes are cool. I did include PSD templates for the various box styles, for those that may want to create their own boxes that were not included here. Enjoy this much needed set. Any questions, let me know. I will upload a 3D Box version of this (that is the main reason I create these sets).

Just made some custom spines for PS1 PAL as did not fit well with the default setting, i find that these work better with the box model set instead of jewel case, provided a screenshot of my setting for the option. the pack contains 1395 items The serial version has 1220 items

I made a Sega Game Gear 2D and 3D box set years ago, and I always thought they were acceptable given the scans were hard to find at the time. A few years have passed, and with better scans available and the use of AI upscaling I have decided to remake this set. Not only have I collected and cleaned front and spine images, but also the back of the boxes. The quality of these boxes are ultra HD throughout, I did the best I could to clean up the source images I found. All USA games are included, plus some Euro and Japanese exclusives. A few prototypes are also included. I will also upload cropped versions of the full boxes. PSD Templates are included.

UPDATE 1 - Added Extreme Hunting 2, KenJu & Force Five UPDATE 2 (11/08/2024) - Major update to folders for easy placement into the root folders of RA & LB. Everything is soooo much easier. Lightgun games can now be simply switched between Controllers & Lightguns. Inputs & Images are the same as the standalone pre config for consistency. Issue mitigations with content directory .cfg files. NEW install video coming very soon. The old one is now outdated. Lets not mess about with this one. If you are familiar with what I do then you know you are getting a quality pre configuration that has been researched and tested to death. I spend hours doing this so you don't have to. Creating configurations for play....not display. As you are most likely aware, arcade platforms are a pain to setup. Controls aren't standardised and changing settings via test menus can be tiresome. What this pre configuration gives you: Firstly I want to talk about audio separately. More to the point just how ear bleedingly loud these games are and how they care not for your main device volume. So I have lowered the volume on a per game basis in their test menus so you don't have to reach for the volume control or wince every time you start a game. Most of these games are in MONO by default. I have changed all of these to be in STEREO. Controls have been scrutinised and tested and revised and tested again. I haven't just set whatever. If a fighting game has a modern port or counterpart I have mapped it to the default layout for that modern version. Everything else has been mapped to be as intuitive as possible, and I have provided layout images so you need never be lost with buttons again. -2 Player Mouse/Light Gun Ready -All Extra & Hidden Characters unlocked.

While I am not the original creator of the LaunchBox / BigBox logos, I have the best versions available in this collection. After roughly 30 hours, I have redrawn and perfected the recognizable cube shape and have multiple variants for multiple use cases. All previously used versions are available here, as well as new versions that are slightly different. All my drawings use perspective correct line work making these the best versions of these logos. They come in three sizes Small (1920x1080 max), Large (3840x2160 max) and SVG which is a vector file type. A lot of the BigBox logos can’t be properly saved in SVG format so I included vector PDFs for all logos as well. The LaunchBox logo had some uneven shapes which I corrected. In addition, I noticed the entire LaunchBox logo is not a perfect cube. Its sides are actually rectangles. I never noticed this until now. Once I saw it, I created a separate perspective correct version. I created a further revised version as well, with thicker lines, consistent line widths and punchier colors. The same standard goes for the BigBox logos. The thicker LB logo also has a glass BigBox variant which took a solid amount of work to get right. I really tried to make the glass thick enough to not be too busy and easily visible large or small. I went back and forth on every shade of every gradient until I felt it looked pretty good against dark and light backgrounds. The only versions that are official are the original taller designs. I wanted to improve them as much as I could while still keeping all of the artist’s intent. Feel free to use these how you’d like. I’ll always appreciate credit. If you like what you see here, please also check out my extensive platform logo collection:

Platform video in the Unified style for Sony Playstation Vita

Dont know if anyone will find this useful but here it is, I recreated the side cover bar with the playstation logo so people can clean up media as needed. included ESRB logos as well

This is very my first attempt at making a Big Box theme from scratch using the Community Theme Creator. I had previously fiddled around with other people's themes to get a feel for the software. I made this for a friend who wanted a familiar, easy to read theme similar to how he has his Kodi set up. I've based this on a simple, Netflix type of layout, trying to be basic while still giving all the info you need as fast as possible. The main aims are speed, simplicity and legibility. The theme works best with video snaps rather than any type of themed video. VIEWS INCLUDED: System Text List Horizontal Coverflow Horizontal Wheel (boxes) Horizontal Wheel (logos) Horizontal Coverflow Vertical Wheel (boxes) Vertical Wheel (logos) Full screen Wall Wall with game info I've used the brilliant system boxes from Styphelus found here. Many thanks to them for their hard work. Also, it uses the Source Sans Pro free typeface which is included in the zip. Also, of course, thanks to y2guru for the Community Theme Creator, and Faeran's very helpful Youtube videos. I no longer provide the system logos as Dan Patrick's awesome set have been that I was previously using have been incorporated into the main Launchbox collection. I also have removed the system images, mainly for size purposes but also just so people can use whatever they want to. I've uploaded a matching startup theme here.

I made this custom Launchbox icon for personal use and wanted to share it with the community. I wish I had more to give but it's a small gesture to say thanks for all your help and making this the best frontend on the market. Also I'm sorry if this is posted in the wrong section but I did not find an option for icons.

Zaccaria Pinball video snaps. Gathered from a few VP websites, and a number of them were snatched from Youtube and cut to a smaller duration/filesize.

As a continuation of the Nintendo set I released, this is more of that. The Spines for SNES games Launchbox puts on the top and bottoms and not on the sides. Missing the Top/Bottoms for: - Champions - World Class Soccer - Creepy Bird - Super Chase H.Q. - Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World - Super Star Fox Weekend - Trials of Mana - Unholy Night - The Darkness Hunter Outside of them, each game on the list should be complete. The games are also linked to the Launchbox Database. The quality can vary some but this is still a good stopgap while Launchbox's database starts adjusting to the newer 3D boxes.

Heres are some European (Pal) front boxes to make the new 3D models look more realistic for the Playstation (as shown below) At the minutes there is only 287 as thats all i have in my collection but if someone has the full european box front colletion and can point me to them ill make all the rest. The Spines for these i have also uploaded and that is the full collection.

I made some dynamic themes from some platforms to use in Retroarch as a dynamic wallpaper. The background images I used from a Bigbox Theme that I got here in the community, but I'm not remembering who is the creator of these arts. If you see them here, please speak up so I can give you credit. Hope you like it!!!
