Hi all, Thought I'd open a new thread for this hotfix release. This one will be short-lived as we want to get this hotfix out as soon as we can, but we will be able to hopefully track better beta specific feedback here. Beta 1 came out a week a bit ago that addressed: Fixed: Big Box no longer crashes on launch for systems with unstable hardware video decoding, especially on some RTX 30 series cards and certain integrated GPUs Fixed: Custom theme video controls now function correctly with the FFMPEG engine, preventing crashes in affected themes Beta 2 has now been put out with the following: Improvement: The Storefront Manager now opens instantly, with login checks handled in the background instead of delaying the window Improvement: Startup Videos and Theme Manager previews now properly follow your selected video engine setting Improvement: You can now launch a game directly from the Game Discovery Center using a keyboard or controller mapping Improvement: All HTTP calls have been upgraded to HTTPS for improved security and reliability Fixed: FFMPEG no longer leaves videos running in the background after launching a game under certain situations Fixed: Music playback is now smoother and less prone to stuttering Fixed: Music compatibility has been improved across more audio file types Fixed: When videos were set to start after a short delay, their audio would overlap with the game music instead of replacing it as expected Fixed: Transitions will no longer trigger unexpectedly when returning from a game Fixed: Badge changes from media packs now apply correctly without needing to restart LaunchBox or Big Box Beta 3: Improvement: D-Input controllers such as DualSense, DualShock, and Nintendo Pro controllers should now have right analog stick support Improvement: You can now launch a game directly from the Game Discovery Center using a keyboard or controller mapping Improvement: When importing ROMs during the Welcome Wizard, LaunchBox now sets the platform s Game Folder to the folder you imported from, instead of using the default location Improvement: The new Auto-Import Media settings are now properly respected during realtime scans Improvement: Unselecting all image types during the Welcome Wizard is now more accurately respected during first-time imports Fixed: A crash has been resolved when multiple media imports happen at the same time Fixed: When videos were set to start after a short delay, their audio would overlap with the game music instead of replacing it as expected Fixed: Custom theme video controls now function correctly with the FFMPEG engine, preventing crashes in affected themes Fixed: The Welcome Wizard s ROM import process now better mirrors the in-app importer by combining games and filtering out unwanted files Fixed: Games in the Image Grid now always display their correct and up-to-date artwork, even in rare cases where images previously failed to appear Fixed: Custom platform names during import are now more reliably scraped with the correct platform values Things to help test with: If you were affected with the inability to access specific websites using the http protocol and you were finding certain third party services were unable to connect through LaunchBox, it would be nice if you could re-test and see if beta 2 fixes that for you. Users that run Big Box with Background music, Platform specific music, Game music, and Videos, this is the time to test all the different areas in Big Box and see if things are back to how they were before the last update. If you were experiencing issues entering into the Theme Manager window, we could use confirmation that you are no longer experiencing that.

After 2 years of effort we here at EmuMovies have finally completely re-recorded and remade the complete MAME video snap set. The previous set had its roots going back 16 years and things look so much better now. The new videos are available in 1080p, 480p and 240p sizes depending on your use case and are available on the website in 240p quality and on our FTP and Sync services in all quality levels. Thanks to our internal team for helping to get all these done, edited and available. We will keep posting updates to our sync and ftp services monthly as new titles come out (we are working on another update right now) but if we don't just stop and announce our progress nobody will know! So please take a moment and refresh your video snaps, you will be glad you did. Thanks to all our supporters and front-ends that keep us going every month and a huge shout out to Launchbox for their 11 years of partnership. Enjoy the content everyone.

Yes the DS love is nice to see. I am still going through many of the North American titles for DS. There are close to 1700 games (a lot of them are hardly games tho, like the LEARN COOKING WITH A DS STYLUS or MAKE-OVER DIVA 27!. lol DS is fairly recent, you think Nintendo learned its lesson with the original NES and bloatware games. I am creating logos when and where I can. But of course I always search out clear logos on the games db first, and www.steamgriddb.com will have logos if the game is fairly recent and popular. And also a google image search. The thing that sucks about DS is there was never a completed 400x175 wheel art set back in the Hyperspin days. I wanted to show off the last logo I made, and it was a logo with swirlys which I am never good at. The logo in the games database is there, but its kinda crappy and its the wrong color. I made this and it was fairly easy. It looks acceptable, but under a microscope its probably awful. lol I didnt add the drop shadow or the sparklies, which I dont like included in any logos. I feel like the end user can add those later if desired pretty easily. That was a simply Magic Wand Tool job, but of course the logo was upscaled first, and then the image size taken down a bit which hides a lot. I always disliked and dreaded making clear logos, but I am getting slightly better at it. I'll never be a level 99 Master like most these logo creators in this thread.

I am super excited to announce that the XBOX 360 Retail Video Snaps set is finally out. For this 1.0 release we have 1,144 new video snaps for you guys. This was the first major pass at this, didn't include any kinect only games yet, live service games are of course excluded and there are quite a few others that I couldn't get to easily run that may also be mission, but it is rather complete.

@WallyWonka : Well, it can't get any worse than what was in the gamesDB😁 ...and it turns out...it can be done!

@MJF Here is the one for Park Patrol

This Biker Mice logo is supreme. A few weeks back I found this hi res logo on steamgriddb, but it didnt have the cool flames and the "MARS" text was in black. Here it is for anyone that wants an alternative.

Just a quick Update...I have not abandoned this project one bit...I still am tweaking things here and there,but,there some holdups... CTC has an issue with custom wheels,where if I use them in the theme,and navigate really quickly from top menu to bottom,or bottom to top,it crashes bigbox...there is no break in between menu selection like normal wheels...I have no idea why it does that...maybe @y2guru can help with that one? I can send you a copy of the theme to see what I am talking about if you want to dig into it at all. Bigbox also suffers a bit atm from a memory leak that stems from the video playback...switching to ffmpeg seemed to fix that,but then it crashes during the screensaver...I believe this was addressed in the beta,but,I like to make sure things work correctly in release before moving forward,as this is a bit frustrating. I also wanted to see if the new views,and screensaver, would be added to CTC before releasing this theme,so I can include them...rather than going back at a later date to re-release it So basically,the theme is still getting work done...just taking a bit of time because I want to release a full theme,and not one with issues
