Happy Holidays everyone, Its been quite some time since I shared a set with everyone. I have been working on several sets and have a bunch more still cooking. Just slower and more picky these days with what's shared. I have created a new Master System/Genesis/Mega Drive "2.5 D" Box art template from scratch using scalable vector shapes and Adobe Photoshop layer styles for realism. This box template is accurate to the original as I used my own box as a source. Comparing this to what else is out there this is both the highest in resolution and the most accurate. While I am personally not a fan or have any nostalgia for the Master System it was looking a bit sad in my collection with a lot of low quality cover art. This set is extremely high quality and large files hence the size of this download. This is all 114 released NTSC Master System games following the no-intro naming scheme. When dropping these in your Launchbox build there may be a few boxes that do not autoload due to the name differences between how Launchbox scrapes the games and what no-intro names them. Therefore you may have to manually update a few image names to your liking or use an alternate name within Launchbox itself. As always any issues with any images please reach out. If there are any errors or something does not seem right please reach out! Stay tuned in 2025 for more art work sets! (The wait is worth it as there are some very good sets to be coming out!)

Huge collection of Sony Playstation box images, complete with retail spines. All USA games included, along with Euro exclusives and same Japanese games that have translations. All the long box games are here WITH spines (finally). Long box releases that also had jewel case releases are also here. I also included all Greatest Hits games (there were a lot more than I thought). Sadly, only one Collector's Edition box is here. I couldnt find high quality scans of any of those. I included box templates in PSD format if anyone needs it. Cropped front and spines are also available the download. I will also upload 3D boxes. There are almost 1700 game boxes and I tried to be as accurate as possible. If anyone finds a mistake let me know. Enjoy!

Here is my Launchbox theme, imaginatively titled "Frogg". This is a rework of the default theme, as there were a number of things I wanted to change. See the second screenshot for a list of the changes made. Most of the changes were to the game details pane. I also removed the rounded edges from the boxes in the main grid view. The platform tree is the same. Overall I wanted to maximise the use of available screen area and show as much metadata as possible, minimising the necessity to scroll. Some scrolling is still required to view the retroachievements and related games, but for general game browsing often no scrolling is required to see the banner, images, metadata and notes. The very latest default them has returned to having the related game in a separate tab; I might update this theme at some point to incorporate that (now done with version 2 of this theme). I have an ultrawide monitor and this theme makes good use of the extra screen real estate. If your monitor isn't quite as wide you can resize the game details pane to your satisfaction. Also, I have a separate marquee screen on which the banner is displayed. That's why I kept the scratched arcade marquee aesthetic with the clear logo in the game details pane. It probably fits the theme better than the marquee anyway. A few things I'd like to change with updated versions (any help with these would be appreciated): - the height of the image preview area; videos fill the space well, though for the images it only uses around 80% of the available height. It looks OK but it's something I want to improve - I'd like to have Retroachievements in a separate tab, like "related games" has; same for MAME high scores Edit: Please update to the latest version (2.2) - some dependencies might have been missing in the previous versions

**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. 0.283 - VirusTotal - File - e94d2a341f21c2b7cb77e2cfede051114cb4a0ee1f1fe1af484451d8c19689fc 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.

Game Cart Generator - Game Art Compositing Tool Created by Saieno - @Lets_All_Game on Twitch and LetsAllGame on YouTube Overview Game Cart Generator is a standalone desktop application for generating stylized cartridge or disc-based artwork. It's primarily for user-supplied template layers, clear logos or box art, and optionally background images or procedural backgrounds to compose polished output images. The app supports both standard label and defined logo area templates for advanced layouts, with options for pattern overlays, gradient fills, padding, scaling, compositing, and live color selection. This app is designed for batch generation and includes a threaded progress bar, preview support, auto-saving of settings per template, and example templates which you can use if you'd like. Template Requirements Cartridge Template (PNG): A top-layer graphic to overlay the final composition. Should contain transparency for visible underlying layers. Alpha Template (PNG): Must contain the color #00FF18 to define the artwork or logo area for the label. May contain the color #FF00FF to define a specific logo area which enables "Defined Logo Mode". These colors are used as masking keys and will be auto-detected and replaced during rendering. Key Features Support for both Standard and Defined Logo Area modes. Auto-detects and enables Defined Logo Mode based on Alpha Template contents. Background generation with: Solid color fill Vertical gradient Gradient with pattern overlay Optional greyscale conversion for logos and/or background layers. Background fallback logic when no matching background is found. Pattern overlays with optional grayscale masking. "BG Burn" effect for high-contrast multiply effect backgrounds. "Logo Burn" for blending greyscale logo and background together as a single burn layer. Fill Color: fills transparent areas inside the defined logo mask with a selectable color. Color Picker: choose fill color directly from anywhere on screen. Logo Stretch to Fill: stretches logos to fill the defined area, ignoring aspect ratio. Manual Image Stretching (up, down, left, right), with Advanced Mode extended range option. Scaled preview window with real-time updates and optional fit-to-window toggle. Threaded batch generation with estimated time remaining. Per-template configuration saved to settings.conf. Recursive input directory support for all asset folders. Defined Logo Mode Behavior When a template contains #FF00FF (magenta), the tool enables Defined Logo Mode: Clear logos are used in place of full box art. Backgrounds are matched by filename (e.g., Sonic.png). If no match is found: If "Generate Background if Missing" is disabled, a random background from the folder is used. If "Generate Background if Missing" is enabled, a generated gradient/pattern background is used automatically—even if background generation is off—to prevent transparency gaps. Greyscale Background option converts matched backgrounds to black & white. BG Burn applies a high-contrast multiply effect to background generation. Logo Burn composites the greyscale logo and background together, then blends that composite with the stylized background. If Fill Color is defined, it replaces any transparent pixels inside the logo mask area with the selected solid color. Logo Stretch to Fill forces the logo to completely fill the masked region, ignoring original aspect ratio. Output Final images are saved as .png to the selected output folder. Filenames are based on input image names for easy frontend installation. Composite includes background + logo/art + cartridge template overlay. Requirements No installation or required.

Huge collection of Sony Playstation 3D box images. All USA games included, along with Euro exclusives and same Japanese games that have translations. All the long box games. Long box releases that also had jewel case releases are also here. I also included all Greatest Hits games (there were a lot more than I thought). Sadly, only one Collector's Edition box is here. I couldnt find high quality scans of any of those. I included 3D box templates in PSD format if anyone needs it. There are quite a few 3D box sets out there for PS1, what makes this one exciting is all the Greatest Hits game have 3D art for the first time. Also, for the longest time I thought ALL PS1 long boxes were cardboard format, but it turns out quite a few long box releases used a plastic clamshell similar to Sega Saturn. The templates used were all 3D art images collected from the games DB, that I simply made into templates so I couldnt give credit to whom created what. Enjoy this massive collection!

DESCRIPTION: I am quite possibly the biggest Coverbox fan in these forums, I've loved it since the first day I used it. It was my go to for over a year of retro gaming. After using it for a while I started to notice areas that could be improved upon, eventually leading to me wanting to do something about it. After getting permission from Faeran I started adding in all the stuff I wished Coverbox had. Its got all the flashy stuff of a modern theme but still retains that sweet warm glow of Coverbox. After a couple of years I started to feel the same way about my old fragments, all the new stuff Dave was adding to the CTC was missing from those old fragments. Now, here I am again doing that same thing. Redoing the coverbox views, its become my 2nd hobby. I also have an obsession with adding more and more to my gaming library, sometimes I just sit and look through it for hours and never play anything. I like to tinker endlessly with the games, this entire theme from the beginning was designed around my obsessive compulsive habits. You might notice that I take it way too far with the small details, this is because of my ocd, and will likely never change as it's part of who I am. I spent many months listening to what you guys wanted from the previous themes, I took all that information and mashed it together into what you see here. Something for everybody. It's been a long road, I've learned alot over the years and finally feel like I can bring my vision to life. Please keep in mind this is still a very early version of the theme, stick with me while I polish up and add more game list views. To any newcomers, do not be scared off by the massive overload of information in this thread! It works out of the box with no extra work required. It works without installing any of the addons, or adding any custom options. It adapts to what you have installed and it adapts to what media you have. This will only improve as time goes by and people help me test the logic, eventually it will adapt to anything you throw at it. If you want to use all the custom options it can "seem" complex when in fact it's very simple. Making it was not, but using it should be. The custom options are for advanced users that want more out of their game lists. Give it a try, it might be your new go-to theme. Be sure to read the guides I wrote below to get the most out of this theme. Especially the one about how to change global settings! FILE DESCRIPTION: Coverbox Remastered v2.XX.zip - This is the most current version of Coverbox Remastered. Coverbox Remastered - BGM Addon.zip - This is a addon for Coverbox Remastered v2.XX.

Like seriously man, you won't find anything with more options. Extend your gaming library even further with detailed information on the cover and icon dock, via metadata and custom fields. The tinkering continues well after your setup is complete. Easy to modify! Almost all assets are layered for added flexibility! Don't like a logo I added? root around in the media folder and delete it, edit it, change the color, modify anything you want! EXTREMELY detailed box art options More than just a cover! Under the hood each cover is a fully constructed box. Complete with inlay, disc, cart, wrapper, everything. When missing media happens, what you see underneath feels authentic. Custom startup & pause themes (still working on them for v2) Tremendous amount of hidden detail, some of which you won't even notice until you use it for a while, or add certain games to your collection. Now with Addon Support! Adapts immediately to what you have installed, and what you don't. Background Videos are now installed as a addon! For those who prefer them off, the theme will adapt and switch to static bg. Holiday Events Addon! New Holiday stuff added for those who enjoy a decent jump scare and good ol saint nick.

Coverbox - Fragments Startup Themes Coverbox - Fragments Pause Themes *Installing these old versions will NOT reflect the install status on the Settings View like the new versions. REMASTERED PLATFORMS: 25 Nintendo Entertainment System (Remastered) Nintendo Famicom Nintendo Famicom Disk System Super Nintendo Entertainment System (Remastered) Nintendo Super Famicom (Remastered) EUROPE Super Famicom (Remastered) JAPAN Nintendo Sufami Turbo Nintendo Satellaview Nintendo Super Disc MSU-1 Nintendo 64 Nintendo 64DD Nintendo Gamecube Nintendo Wii Nintendo WiiU Nintendo Switch Nintendo Gameboy (Remastered) Nintendo Gameboy Color (Remastered) Nintendo Gameboy Advance (Remastered) Nintendo Super Gameboy Nintendo DS (Remastered) Nintendo DSi Nintendo 3DS (Remastered) Sony Playstation (Remastered) Sony PocketStation Sony Net Yaroze Sony Playstation 2 (Remastered) Sony Playstation 3 (Remastered) Sony PSP (Remastered) Sega Game Gear Sega Master System Sega Genesis Sega Saturn Sega Dreamcast MS-DOS Microsoft XBox (Remastered) Microsoft Xbox 360 (Remastered) and more...once I get all caught up. Any platform in red has not been ported to the new system yet, trying to enter the game list for any platform in red will fallback to the default theme. ICON DOCK LEGEND: I added new icon docks to all of the remastered game list themes. These usually are consistent between platforms (with a few exceptions). They are all usually the same unless the platform has icons for that type of thing already, then i use those instead. Ill list what the icons mean below: - game has additional applications - game is favorited - game is completed - game has achievements - game is broken - game has manual - game has game save - game has lightgun support (only if platform supports it) - game has mouse support (only if platform supports it) - game has keyboard support (only if platform supports it) *other values exist and are usually tied to the Custom Fields stuff. DLC, adhoc, wifi, etc sometimes have dock icons. EARLY ACCESS PROGRESS: Remaster all the fragment game list views (21/30) Remaster the Start/Shutdown themes for all platforms (2/30) Remaster Pause Themes (2/30) Finish Platform view 1 and make 3 new platform views (1/4) Finish game/platform Marquee views (0) Polish all the game list views and try to remove any lag (0) Possibly remove things to speed up some of the troublesome game lists?

After doing the TG16 set, I felt I had to bang this one out too. This system confused with the type of art it used. Like TG16, some of the CD games were released in cardboard boxes, while most were just sold in jewel case form. All of these games had a jewel case, but some had a double jewel case despite having only one disc. Very weird (some Sony PS1 games did the same). 4 in 1 Super CD was the most confusing to me. This game has one disc, but I dont know if it had a proper jewel case or not. I couldnt find a proper back or spine image, and I don't think it even had its own cover art. I made a generic custom one for that. If anyone has any information or pictures/scans of the original release let me know. Anyway, all releases are included, but again no japanese PC Engine CD releases here. The boxes that did have a standard cardboard release are here, along with all jewel cases. Templates are also included. Enjoy.

There is a very nice jewel case 3D box collection for this system out there, but while collecting 2D images for this system I noticed not every game had a jewel case for it and I always thought it did. All games were released with standard cardboard box covers (except Keith Courage as it was a pack-in game) and most had a standard CD jewel case inside with the Hu-Card inside of that jewel case. Must have cost NEC a fortune in packaging. But some games just had the Hu-Card in a plastic housing inside the cardboard box with no jewel case. I collected and made 2D front and left spines for all released games. 94 in total. This does not include the japanese PC Engine versions. Funnily enough, I don't think any Japanese PC Engine games were released in cardboard boxes, jewel cases only. Anyway, this set includes the regular cardboard boxes and the jewel cases. Since not every release had a jewel case, I made a custom one for it anyway. I always loved the jewel case boxes, but now I prefer the retail cardboard fronts. As always I included templates for those that want to make their own boxes. I am going to upload TubroGrafx CD as well. Enjoy.

Hey guys, this is a set of arcade marquees I built last year for the SNK Neo Geo platform. While the red MVS marquees are very good, and quite true to how people, including myself, physically saw these games in arcades, I've always felt they made these games feel more "generic" somehow, despite the fact that there are some real gems in the Neo Geo collection. These are all the same size, 2560 x 730, which might seem an odd resolution, but it matches a portioned-off top screen in my arcade build. I can't even remember why I chose this pixel size, but it's not a terrible aspect-ratio in terms of a middle ground for arcade marquees, which as we all know are quite variable. These were generated with a mix of the amazing artwork resources in the Launchbox Games DB (game logos, and company / platform logos), and the standard MVS card artwork, overlaid on top of official / fan-artwork which was extended with generative-fill in Photoshop, which can produce some rather incredible results. Everything was also upscaled throughout the process with FreeScaler on the Mac, which really blew me away in terms of how much it can improve low-resolution artwork. A few examples are attached separately too. Hopefully these are useful! I've also built standardized marquees for other platforms, if people like these. Thanks to everyone in this awesome community for contributing so much high quality content over the years. It's about time I gave something back

Nintendo DS is a neglected artwork system I decided to make boxes for. So many games, many of which are total junk. 1700 games total. I believe all USA releases are included, but some may be missing I am not sure. There are a few Euro exclusives included and 1 Japanese exclusive. Fronts and spines included and YES most were upscaled so don't complain about it. Most of them look acceptable. Some spines may look junky or not completely accurate, but I remained as authentic as possible. Finding original source artwork was a challenge to say the least. Included is a PSD template if you want to make your own covers or improve existing ones. Enjoy this much needed set. Feel free to let me know if any USA games are missing.

IMPORTANT: I am not working for the Supermodel Team. This is in no way official. It's just me, admiring Ian and the teams amazing hard work. Presenting it in a way that is usable for PC, Controller and Mouse with minimal effort. A lot of people are turned away from this emulator because of the setup. Thinking it's broken or too much hard work. I want to change that and make things easy so people realise just how good Supermodel is. Thank you to @Joejoe for a bunch of cheats and unlocks and checking everything as it's progressed. Thanks to @Baggio for providing the AHK script for Light Guns. Thanks to @Johnny T for various stuff, and @Headrush69 for something I can't remember. Much has changed with this emulator over the past 2 and a bit years. With new features, fixes and the emergence of a new UI, it's safe to say Supermodel has never looked better. So, it's time to flatten everything and create a new standard for the project, at least with it's setup and usage. It's time to strip out what ain't needed. With 2 permanent solutions to the fabled 'light gun indexing' issue, light gun users should no longer need to ask 'why my light gun no worky?' Also, thanks to @Joejoe we now have all unlocks for every game. The last one to fall was Dirt Devils with it's extra track and truck. The main update is the Light Gun AHK script and extra stuff for Dirt Devils. With this pre configuration you will get: Controls Pre Configured. Please see the images provided for button layouts. I have spent many hours on figuring out the best layouts to ensure no clashing inputs and intuitive controls, I could go into detail but again it would need a video an hour long to cover it all. Just know a 'dead zone' of 7% has been added to the analogue sticks to prevent saggy sticks from steering your car for you, or randomly entering directional inputs when you don't want. Also, some games will use force feedback to vibrate your controller. 2 Player Mouse Light Gun Support. The Lost World, The Ocean Hunter, L.A. Machineguns and Start Wars Arcade (yes I have calibrated for both players). By default the mouse indexes have been set to MOUSE1 and MOUSE2. For mouse only users this is generally fine, but light gun users may find their mouse index set to a higher/different MOUSE number. Supermodel also LOVES to make windows switch mouse indexing, more than other emulators, causing your Light Guns just stop working. The new UI has a solution for this, where you essentially shoot/click a box before booting the game, when RAWINPUT is set. This sets the correct indexing and light gun controls for you, ensuring a seamless light gun experience every time you play. However, the UI solution is not currently deployable into LaunchBox. But...thanks to @Baggio we now have an AHK script which will fix your light gun index permanently with LaunchBox (and without). It does require some setup, but once it's done, it's done. It's pretty much a bullet proof solution, pardon the pun. Test Menu Fixes. Every game that needed a test menu fix has had it done. For E.g. the Network Board Not Present issue in Daytona 2, and Feedback Lever issue in Star Wars. This includes setting many of these games Cabinet Type to 'normal' rather than leaving them set to Deluxe. Most of the Deluxe variants have more input options (clutch, fishing line etc) that aren't used or emulated, especially for use with a controller. All games are set to Free Play, Japanese language set to English, and regions have been changed to USA where possible. Analogue Steering Saturation & Analogue Calibration. All of the racing games except Sega Rally 2 have very twitchy steering. I have spent hours sorting out the Analog Saturation to make them more playable. However, the fact is these arcade racers use 1:1 Analog steering. This is TOTALLY NOT how console racers work, unless using a proper analog steering wheel. As the steering is 1:1, it reacts as fast as the stick moves, which again is NOT how console racers work with controllers. If you have the analog stick fully locked to the left and release the stick, the steering will return to centre at the same speed as the stick moving, REALLY really fast. Again... console racers don't do this. There is no current way around this, I have mitigated it, but not removed it. You will have to ease the stick back to centre like you would an analog steering wheel to be able to play effectively. Just be gentle. Sega Rally 2 is fine tho. Enhancements. Some games benefit from having different modes activated. For e.g. Sega Rally 2 'Game Type' set to 'Special' enables 3 laps per stage rather than just the one. Virtua Striker has Golden Goal and Penalty Shootout modes that are off by default, having a longer play time is also preferable in this type of game. There's also little changes like setting Speedometers to MPH from KPH. Please see the table below for more info. Audio Configured (sorta) Left at default the audio is quiet/loud and not balanced for most games as the baseline (not bassline) is not known. It's actually a god damned mystery how these cabs were balanced for audio. Supermodel simply sets it all to max by Default leaving some games really loud and others really quiet. Apparently that's how it was with OG hardware. Meaning the service technician would have balanced these depending on the setup. As you can link certain games like Daytona, audio would have needed to be balanced in accordance, manually. Is there some kinda document or guide out there that's missing, or did the techs just do it by ear? Who fuckin' knows man! There is NO official audio balance standard for Model 3 games, that we know of! So, Audio has been adjusted on a per game basis. This took ages and would probably need a video an hour long to explain. Just know that it was super confusing with the Balance option doing different things per game. I adjusted every games volume to be 'about' the same db. This aspect of the project is the last piece of the puzzle. The audio emulation seems to be getting some attention recently, so gonna hold off to see what happens. I have provided a pre configured Supermodel.ini file for XINPUT and DINPUT. XINPUT (Xbox/Windows) is by far the preferred input method. This is because all XINPUT controllers are the same between controllers with their input IDs. This is great for making pre configurations because it's the same for everyone. If you are unsure as to what input system your controller uses a quick google search should tell you, or this should tell you https://gamepad-tester.com DINPUT is not so great for making pre configs as their input IDs can vary between controllers. So, now here comes a... DISCLAIMER: FOR THE DINPUT PRE CONFIG I USED A PS4 CONTROLLER. IF YOU ARE USING A DIFFERENT DINPUT CONTROLLER YOUR INPUTS COULD BE WRONG AS DINPUT CONTROLERS CAN VARY WITH INPUT IDs. Use X360CE if your DINPUT controller inputs are incorrect, and use the Xinput ini instead - https://www.x360ce.com/ So with that out of the way. SETUP INSTRUCTIONS Download the most recent Supermodel Git version from the official website here - https://www.supermodel3.com/Download.html Download the Sega Model 3 UI from the official GitHub page here - https://github.com/BackPonBeauty/Sega-Model-3-UI-for-20240128-/tree/Segamodel3UIver1122 Download NVRAM & Correct INI file for your controller from this page. Unzip all of this. Transfer/copy all the files from the UI folder into the Supermodel folder. Transfer/copy the correct Supermodel.ini into the Config folder of Supermodel and replace the one already there. Transfer/copy NVRAM files into NVRAM folder of Supermodel. Place ROMs into the ROMs folder in the root of Supermodel. You can use a custom location, but this location will mitigate issues. Start the UI, set your settings to your preference and PLAY! Roms INFO Use as recent as possible MAME NON-Merged ROMS. DON'T USE MERGED ROMS. Split will work but will be missing files needed for controller rumble/FFB. Supermodel is now kept in line with MAME rom updates, if they are to do with Model 3 Games. You can use as old as 0.236. Supermodel is "backwards compatible" to this point. However, 0.263 or newer is best, the reasons why are below: magtruck was updated 0.249 oceanhun was updated 0.253 scudxo was added 0.263 ONLY THESE VERSIONS HAVE BEEN CONFIGURED FOR. dayto2pe daytona2 dirtdvls eca fvipers2 getbassur (Best version for controller usage. It lacks the 'fishing line tension input'. This version was ported to Dreamcast and the only version here) harley lamachin lemans24 lostwsga magtruck (Better dump as of 0.249. Fixes Attract Mode. This is a better dump so it will be the new parent. With the old 'magtruck' parent becoming the clone 'mgtrkbad') oceanhun (New dump as of 0.253. This is a newer version so it will be the new parent. With the old 'oceanhun' parent becoming the clone 'oceanhuna') scud scudplus scudxo (This was found as of 0.263.

Just install it, it's easier. The script uses version v1 / v1.1, but you can just download the new one, v2, and let it prompt to download the older version in addition, on the first load attempt of the script. Download here https://www.autohotkey.com/ Download & unzip the AHK script from this page. Best Practice is to move the Light Gun AHK Script folder with the ahk script inside, into the root of Supermodel Download ControllerRemap Utility v0.0.11.0 here - https://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,108767.0.html (Download is at the bottom of the first post. Before you can unzip it, you will need to rename the file from ControllerRemap.zip.txt ...to... ControllerRemap.zip. Just take the .txt off the file name. THEN UNZIP) Place the ControllerRemap.exe you just unzipped into the Light Gun AHK Script folder next to the LightgunIndexRemap.ahk In LB, right click on a SM3 light gun game and select 'Edit Metadata/Media' Select 'Additional Apps' on the left. Select 'Add Application' at the bottom. Name Application 'Supermodel Light Gun AHK Script' To set Application Path, click 'browse' and select the LightgunIndexRemap.ahk in the Light Gun AHK Script folder you downloaded. Check 'Automatically Run Before Main Application' Hit OK! Repeat above steps (from step 6) for the other 3 Light Gun Games in LaunchBox. But Wait! Theeere's more! You need to set the VID/PID id's of your specific light guns in the AHK script. So we need to... Launch a Game you have set the AHK to with LB, with both light guns connected. If you only have AHK v2, you should get a prompt telling you the script is for v1. It will then ask if you want to download the latest v1.1 version in addition to v2. SAY YES. Wait for it to download. If you need to do this, RESTART YOU PC/DEVICE after v1.1 has installed. Otherwise the script wont work. If you already have v1 or v1.1 you won't get the prompt or need to restart. Now you have (or already have) v1/v1.1 the game should boot up with no script warnings. You wont be able to control anything as the PID/VID is not set. However, by simply booting with the script we have made a log of what they are so you can set them. Exit the game. Open Light Gun AHK Script folder. Inside you will find a list.txt file. Open this and you will see the VID/PID number for the connected light guns, plain as day. Now Right Click & Edit the LightgunIndexRemap.ahk script, with a text editor like WordPad. At the top you will find: *********************************** ; Insert guns ID/PID here *********************************** P1DeviceGunID = VID_0000_PID_1111 P1DeviceGunPID = 1111 P2DeviceGunID = VID_0000_PID_1111 P2DeviceGunPID = 1111 *********************************** Simply replace/edit the ID's in the .ahk script (reference e.g. above) to how they appear in the list.txt file. It's obvious what part of the string you need to use. Don't forget to SAVE the ahk! You should now be able to play with no indexing issues. PHEW! Awesome Feature: Try using WideScreen at the same time as WideBackround. This is essentially a widescreen hack giving a true anamorphic widescreen image. It works really well with most games, apart from Virtua Striker 2 and Sega Bass Fishing. Any questions feel free to ask. Below is a list of everything that I have done per game. YOU DON'T NEED TO DO ANY OF THIS. Consider this the documentation for this pre configuration. Please give this a read! A lot of hard work went into this. Not only have I listed everything that I have done I have also listed any cheats, region change codes and important information. Daytona USA 2: Battle on the Edge daytona2 Daytona USA 2: Power Edition dayto2pe Test Menu Changes: -Language/Game Region set to English/USA. Only achievable by using the Region Change Code. Japan is the default. -Link ID set to SINGLE. Fixes Network Board Not Present. -Setting Region to USA removes the option to switch between the Dennis St. James and the Takenobu Mitsuyoshi soundtracks. (Dennis) is the default when set to USA. However, you can still play the alternate soundtrack version with a really easy cheat that is listed below. Analogue Steering Saturation & Calibration: -Steering was very twitchy due to the Analogue Saturation. The analogue steering is technically 1 to 1 however, there is actually quite a lot of 'dead zone' when you have the steering fully turned. I found you can ease off the control stick about a quarter of the way, from fully locked, before it actually started effecting the steering. I confirmed this in 1st Person view where you can see the drivers hand and steering wheel. I eased of the steering about a quarter of the way before the steering wheel moved and the steering started to react. The 'Input Test' within the test menu did not reflect this, giving values for the entire range of the left stick XAXIS. -So after some extensive testing I have changed the InputJoy1XSaturation to 155% for Daytona 2:BOTE and 165% for Daytona 2:PE, to compensate for this 'dead zone'. This makes the area of the analogue steering XAXIS wider giving way better control, without losing any actual in game steering 'range'. As soon as you ease of the stick the steering will react. -This 'kinda dead zone' would have been present on the original arcade machine hardware, but due to the amount of travel/range left and right on the steering wheel it wouldn't have been noticed (arms don't twist that far). This adjustment is more of a "trueish" 1 to 1 and is much more appropriate for use with a controller. General Info: -Controller will vibrate with this game if you have that functionality. -More racing modes and 'number of laps customisation per difficulty' are available in the test menu when set to USA. Alternate Camera Views (you won't be able to do some of these due to the VR buttons NEEDING to be mapped to the D-Pad): -Press VR1 and VR2 at the same time to get a view from just behind the front left wheel well. -Press VR2 and VR3 at the same time to get a view from just behind the front right wheel well. -Press VR2 while already in VR2 to get a cockpit view. -Press & Hold VR4, and while you are holding it press the other three at the same time to get a sky cam view. -Hold VR2 or VR3 or VR4 and repeatedly tap Start for other alternate views. Cheats: -Hold Start when selecting a transmission for 'Time Lap' mode. No other cars on the track. -Hold Start when waiting for the race to start/load to play the alternate soundtrack. -Hold Start when selecting a track to play the mirrored version. -Light Up Fantasy Amusement Park - Rapidly tap Start during Lap 3 or Lap 4 to light up the road. Unlock Hornet Car - Battle on the Edge Version Only (you won't be able to pull this off due to the VR buttons NEEDING to be mapped to the D-Pad. However, I have provided a save state of just after inputting the code, so you can adjust the stats and use this car): -Before starting the game, move the gear stick into first gear. -At the course selection screen, move the stick into fourth gear. -Then Press View Buttons in this Order: VR1, VR4, VR2, VR4, VR1, VR2, VR2+VR3 (together), and VR1. You only have 8 seconds to pull this off and then quickly select a track, if you don't want to play the beginner course. -If done correctly, you'll get the Hornet in place of the usual selection of cars. The cars stats can be modified using the view buttons and the steering wheel. Again, you only have 8 seconds to do this. Region Change Code: -In the main test menu, Push and Hold Start, then with Start Held, Press GREEN/VR4, GREEN/VR4, BLUE/VR2, YELLOW/VR3, RED/VR1, YELLOW/VR3, BLUE/VR2. -This brings you to a hidden region select screen where you can change to USA and other regions. Dirt Devils dirtdvls Test Menu Changes: -Oversteering issue fixed via calibrating the analogue controls with the 'Calibrate Control Devise' function in the test menu. Gas and Brake have also been correctly calibrated. -Speedometer set to MPH. KPH is the default. General Info: -Region dictated by rom. The parent rom 'dirtdvls' is Export region with no option to change to USA. This is fine as its in English. For USA use rom 'dirtdvlsu'. -Controller will vibrate with this game if you have that functionality. -Hold Shift UP in the Vehicle Select screen to toggle to Manual Transmission. Unlocks: -Additional Track & Truck pre unlocked. This required completion of the game on all tracks. Analogue Steering Saturation & Calibration: -As the analogue controls have been calibrated in the 'Calibrate Control Device' to fix the oversteering issue in the test menu. Even though the steering is 1 to 1 it's still super twitchy so InputJoy1XSaturation = 118 has been added to take the edge off. Emergency Call Ambulance eca Test Menu Changes: -Siren Volume set to 1. It's really annoying otherwise. Default is 7. -Distance set to MILE. METRE is the default. Although, because its the Export version Mile is actually Ft in game because of the metric system or something. ("you's a smart mother f***er") They just didn't label it correctly for the Export version. -Analogue Controls calibrated in the 'Volume Setting' function. Analogue Steering Saturation & Calibration: -As the analogue controls have been calibrated in the 'Volume Setting' within test menu there is NO need to adjust the InputJoy1XSaturation. 4-Way Gear Shifting -By default this game is set to a simple Up / Down gear setup. However, it also has a proper 4 way gear input. You need to edit the Games.xml to activate this. -Under ECA in the Games.xml change the line <input type="shiftupdown" /> to <input type="shift4" /> General Info: -Region dictated by rom. The parent rom 'eca' is Export region with no option to change to USA. This is fine as its in English. Cheat Code to Play as an EMT on Foot with a Stretcher: -On transmission select screen, highlight Manual Transmission -Push Gear shift Up, Up, Down, Down, Up Fighting Vipers 2 fvipers2 Test Menu Changes: -Language/Game Region set to English/USA. Only achievable by using Region Change Code. Japan is the default. General Info: -Controls are set to the Dreamcast port defaults. P=(X), K=(Y), G=(A). The Left Stick and D-Pad are usable at the same time. -A full moves list can be found here https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Fighting_Vipers_2/Moves Region Change Code: -Go to test menu then go into 'Game Assignments' -Set cursor at 'Country' line then press Left, Left, Left, Right, Right, Left. -This will then allow you to change the 'Country' to USA and others. Harley-Davidson & L.A. Riders harley Test Menu Changes: -Game Region set to USA. Only achievable by using Region Change Code. Export is the default. -Cabinet Type set to STANDARD. -Engine Volume set to 5. The default is 8. -Number of Stages set to 5. The default is 4. -Analogue Controls calibrated in the 'Volume Setting' function. Analogue Steering Saturation & Calibration: -As the analogue controls have been calibrated in the 'Volume Setting' in the test menu there is NO need to adjust the InputJoy1XSaturation. Cheats: Extra Music Track -When you select your bike press and hold the foot/rear brake (A). -Then select your transmission with the Start button. Hold the foot/rear brake (A) and the Start button until the race starts. -Now scroll through the music tracks and you'll find one called ''Jingle Bells''. Region Change Code: -Go to test menu then go into 'Game Assignments' -Press Shift Up, Shift Up, Shift Down, Shift Down, View, Music, View, Music -This brings up an additional region select option where you can select USA and other regions. L.A Machineguns: Rage of the Machines lamachin Test Menu Changes: -Language/Game Region set to English/USA. Only achievable by using Region Change Code. Japan is the default. -Cabinet Type set to STANDERED. (Not a typo, it's spelled like this in the test menu) -Calibrated for Accuracy in the 'Aim Set' function. Region Change Code: -In the main test menu push Start, Start, Service, Start, Start, Start, Service, Test. -This brings you to a hidden region select screen where you can change to USA and other regions. Le Mans 24 lemans24 Test Menu Changes: -Language/Game Region set to English/USA. Only achievable by using Region Change Code. Japan is the default. -Special Car set to SKYLINE. The default is NONE Analogue Steering Saturation & Calibration: -Steering is very twitchy due to the Analogue Saturation. Controls are a perfect 1 to 1 however it's still really difficult to control. -So after some extensive testing I have changed the InputJoy1XSaturation to 120%. This makes the area of the analog steering XAXIS 'wider' giving way better control. -You do lose some steering range but the trade off is more than worth it and barely noticeable. Region Change Code: -In the main test menu press Start, Start, Service, Service, Start, Test. -This brings you to a hidden region select screen where you can change to USA and other regions. Lost World, The lostwsga IMPORTANT: -So, I'm bringing the hammer down on this one as I have discovered the issue everyone (inc. myself) has been having. This game has 2 input methods which can only be changed in the Games.xml. 1-The default, which is analog input, so x and y coordinate based. This one doesn't flash as it's analog based (<input type="analog_gun1" />). 2-The alternative light gun input method which flashes the screen and detects where the light gun is pointed, like a traditional light gun game (<input type="gun1" />). -In the Supermodel.ini file the inputs labeled for The Lost World ONLY APPLY when the game has been set to Light Gun input (<input type="gun1" />). When set to the default analog input type (<input type="analog_gun1" />), the inputs are actually the ones labelled as Ocean Hunter, L.A. Machineguns, NOT the inputs labelled as Lost World. With 'InputAnalogTriggerLeft' being the trigger for Lost World, and 'InputAnalogTriggerRight' being the off-screen/reload button for Lost World, under the "Analog Inputs" for Ocean Hunter, L.A. Machineguns input section. Not confusing as shit at all. -This does make sense after the fact, as when set to analog input..... the analog inputs apply.... not the light gun inputs derrrrr. But because of the frankly appalling labelling in the ini file, it has spun me (and seemingly everyone else) till now. As a result of all this confusion I have labelled these inputs correctly in the ini file. I swear this emulator is out to get me..... -InputAutoTrigger in the .ini is ON. This allows you to simply press the reload button to reload. If this is OFF you'd need to hold reload and then press fire to reload. Test Menu Changes: -Language/Game Region set to English/USA. Only achievable by using Region Change Code. Japan is the default. -Calibrated for Accuracy in 'Gun Setting' option. General Info: -Crosshairs are ON in the .ini file. Region Change Code: -In the main test menu press Start, Start, Service, Start, Service, Test. -This brings you to a hidden region select screen where you can change to USA and other regions. Magical Truck Adventure magtruck Test Menu Changes: -Language/Game Region set to English/USA. Only achievable by using Region Change Code. Export is the default. -Christmas Mode is ON. Changes outfits of players. -Analogue Controls calibrated in the 'Device Settings' function. Region Change Code: -In the main test menu press Start, Start, Service, Start, Service, Test -This brings you to a hidden region select screen where you can change to USA and other regions. Ocean Hunter, The oceanhun Test Menu Changes: -Language/Game Region set to English/USA. Only achievable by using Region Change Code. Japan is the default. -Cabinet Type set to STANDARD. The default is DELUXE. -Analogue Controls calibrated for Accuracy in 'Volume Setting' function. Region Change Code: -Go to test menu then go into 'Game Assignments' and press 1P Start, 2P Start, 1P Start, 2P Start, 1P Start, 2P Start, 2P Start -This brings up an extra option. Select USA or other regions. Scud Race / Sega Super GT scud scudxo Scud Race Plus / Sega Super GT Plus scudplus Test Menu Changes: -Language/Game Region set to English/USA. No Region Change Code. USA and other regions selectable from 'Game Assignments'. Japan is the default. -SETTING TO USA CHANGES GAME TITLE TO SEGA SUPER GT. -Link ID set to SINGLE. Fixes Network Board Not Present. General Info: -Controller will vibrate with this game if you have that functionality. Analogue Steering Saturation & Calibration: -Steering is very twitchy due to the Analogue Saturation. The analogue steering is 1 to 1 however there is quite a lot of 'dead zone' when you have the steering fully turned, despite the values the test menu gives you. I found you can ease off the stick about a quarter of the way before it actually started affecting the steering. I confirmed this in 1st Person View where you can see the drivers hand and steering wheel, I eased of the steering about a quarter of the way before the steering wheel moved and the steering started to react. The 'Input Test' did not reflect this, giving values for the entire range of the control stick XAXIS. -So after some extensive testing I have changed the InputJoy1XSaturation to 165%, to compensate for this 'dead zone'. This makes the area of the analog steering XAXIS wider giving way better control, without losing any actual in-game steering 'range'. As soon as you ease of the stick the steering will react. -This 'kinda dead zone' would have been present on the original hardware, but due to the amount of travel from left to right on the steering wheel it wouldn't have been noticed. This adjustment is more of a 'kinda true 1 to 1' and is much more appropriate for a controller. Sega Bass Fishing / Get Bass getbassur IMPORTANT: -Use 'getbassur' over every other version of Sega Bass Fishing. -This version lacks the tension input which is better for controllers. Test Menu Changes: -Language/Game Region set to English/USA. Only achievable by using Region Change Code. Japan is the default. -Analogue Controls calibrated in the Volume Setting function within the test menu. -Game Time and Continue Time have been set to the maximum '3m50s'. Region Change Code: -In the main test menu, select CRT TEST and move to screen 2/2. -Push the Service Button 4 times, exit the CRT TEST. -Go into Game Assignments, push Service Button 3 times, then press and hold Service Button and then press Test. -This brings you to a hidden region select screen where you can change to other regions. Sega Rally 2 srally2 Sega Rally 2 DX srally2dx Standard and DX differences: -The DX version has a different livery (car decals) and some other minor "under the hood" updates. IMPORTANT: -This game will run slow and have graphical glitches if the PowerPCFrequency is left on 49. -Setting to a higher number will fix this. However if set too high the emulator will start to run slow. -PowerPCFrenquency set to 69 in the ini file. This fixes the issue. It's the sweet spot. Test Menu Changes: -Game Region set to USA. Only achievable by using Region Change Code. Export is the default. -Game Mode set to SPECIAL. This enables 3 Laps per stage. The default is NORMAL (1 Lap per stage). -Default View set to BEHIND. The default is Driver. -Speedometer set to MPH. Default is KMH. -Cabinet Type set to TWIN. The CLUTCH and other stuff are NOT used when set to TWIN, which is what we want. The default is DELUXE. -Coin Assignments set to Free Play. This helps with a bug where if you restart the game with credits loaded it may not display any graphics. Setting to Free Play helps with this. Analogue Steering Saturation & Calibration: -Steering is very twitchy due to the Analogue Saturation being 'short'. The analogue steering is 1 to 1 however there is quite a lot of 'dead zone' when you have the steering fully turned, despite the values the test menu gives you. I found you can ease off the stick about a quarter of the way before it actually started affecting the steering. -So after some extensive testing I have changed the InputJoy1XSaturation to 155%, to compensate for this 'dead zone'. This makes the area of the analog steering XAXIS 'wider' giving way better control, without losing any actual in-game steering 'range'. As soon as you ease of the stick the steering will react. -This 'kinda dead zone' would have been present on the original hardware, but due to the amount of travel from left to right on the steering wheel it wouldn't have been noticed. This adjustment is more of a 'kinda true 1 to 1' and is much more appropriate for a controller. General Info: -Controller will vibrate with this game if you have that functionality. Cheats: -Unlock the Delta and Celica Cars - Press View Change and the Handbrake (A+Y) at the same time on the car select. -Better Time Display - Put in your name then hold View Change and Handbrake (A+Y) at the same time until the game starts. -Turn Off Music - Put in your name then hold Start until the game starts.

Ski Champ skichamp IMPORTANT: -This game has an InputSkiY AXIS Input. Despite this being designated as a Y axis it's actually used for movement on the X axis. -IT'S NOT USED FOR UP AND DOWN MOTION. -It is for turning harder, like digging in the edges of the skis. This is how the original arcade hardware works. -This is assigned to the Right Stick. Move the Right Stick in the same direction as the Left Stick to turn harder. Test Menu Changes: -Language/Game Region set to English/Export. Setting to USA kept crashing the game for me. Only achievable by using Region Change Code. Japan is the default. -Extend Time set to 25s. The game is pretty much impossible to complete otherwise.

These are the one's i didn't do first time to go with the previous pack, all the usual goodies enjoy now back to letter D, i'll be doing a letter at a time gives me a bit of a break and there's probably too much for a single upload in multiple letters. Part 1 here incase you missed it

Original COLORFUL theme here! Two additional views when selecting games to go along with the Colorful theme. The preview video/screenshot for the game will appear on the console screen underneath reflective light/dirt on the console. Vertical Wheel 4 will also show the game cartridge/disc when applicable, Vertical Wheel 3 doesn't show the cartridge and simply displays the respective game media. This view is not comprehensive, and currently only handles the following game systems: N64 Nintendo 3DS NES Gameboy Advance Gameboy Color Gamecube Switch Wiii Wii U Dreamcast Sega Genesis Sega Saturn Playstation Playstation 2 PSP SNES Windows I may add more as I come across them/expand my own game collection or if there's a high demand for it. There's also the PlatformWheel2 view from the original Colorful theme included but with a correction - the original version seemed to have a color mismatch for the Sega Genesis platform. A corrected version is included in this as well. Enjoy and let me know if you have any issues with it! Shoutouts to @viking and @faeran for making such a clean and wonderful theme! Made with the Community Theme Creator, so thanks also to @y2guru!

LIGHTS OUT! BEZELS UPDATED TO THE NEWEST MAME CODE Mr. RetroLust created a series of bezels which is a masterpiece : Yet as he uses a rather old version of MAME, some of those bezels are not compatible with the latest releases which use a redesigned artwork system (MAME 0.226 onwards). As I intend to continue to enjoy his creations in optimal conditions, I have undertaken to update all the lay files and to correct recent incompatibilities. The original project uses a reflection and scratch layer to add a realistic effect which defines its style. You will find here the complete arcade 4K widescreen collection updated to the most recent lay code and expanded in various ways. Mainly based on the version 17.0 of the original collection : I’ve updated/edited all the lay files. Renamed files in sync with latest MAME release (0.281 at the time of this writing). Merged some archives to avoid any conflict with the classic artworks of Mr. Do and progetto-SNAPS. Converted and integrated some of Mr. RetroLust's non-MAME specific arworks*. Added Xeno Crisis bezel by Layer0730. Added blue MAME cab bezel by d66dle. Added some new artworks in the same style (Ex: Darius II Dual-Screen). Replaced most of the screen overlays based on pics with lay-coded ones according to the latest MAME sources (ex : Circus). Corrected some MAME artwork display known bugs (ex : Dead Eye). Added switchable gear shift for racing games when possible (ex : Pole Position). Added optional custom enhancements (ex : Galaga). Added color variations (ex : Barricade). Added BIOS specific bezels (ex : Deco Cassette System). Added generic horizontal and vertical bezels to use as fallback art files for every game missing individual artwork. Included a folder INI file to display a list of all games of the collection. If you spot a bug, or a game I forgot to add a gear shift, please indicate it in the comments, I will try to rectify it ASAP. * : Converted for MAME and upscaled to 4K some artworks from HD Lights Out! Retroarch Bezels 8.5. Converted for MAME the Sammy Atomiswave 4K Lights Out! Realistic Bezels 1.0.0. Converted for MAME the Sega Naomi 4K Lights Out! Realistic Retroarch Bezels 1.3. INSTALLATION Easy 'n' dirty way (not recommended) : Unzip all LightsOutRevisited0-Z archives in MAME/ARTWORK/ Install updates one after the other, just unzip and replace all files when asked. Put horizontal and vertical INIs in the root folder of your MAME installation or in MAME/INI/PRESETS/ Advanced 'n' clean way : Use the provided DAT to rebuild the collection with Clrmamepro, Romcenter or your favorite ROMs manager. Place the resulting ZIP files in MAME/ARTWORK/ Put horizontal and vertical INIs in the root folder of your MAME installation or in MAME/INI/PRESETS/ It is ESSENTIAL to use the included horizontal and vertical INIs to make the generic fallback bezels work. Optional : Put vector, vector-mono and raster INIs in the root folder of your MAME installation or in MAME/INI/PRESETS/ Put Lights Out Bezels Revisited INI in MAME/FOLDERS/ The FOLDERS INI file is entirely optional. The vector and the vector-mono INIs are highly recommended but not essential. The raster INI is ONLY to be used if you use the D3D HLSL graphics mode. I personally use the BGFX graphics mode for the rasters and the fantastic ArcCabView shader from Ducon2016 and Houb (included in UPDATE TO LIGHTS OUT 10.0 - MAME 0.276). Let's play ! All hails to Mr. RetroLust for the incredible work that he made with his original bezels. Special thanks to the following people who directly or indirectly inspired and/or helped me with this project : AntoPISA, d66dle, Ducon2016, Houb, Layer0730, Mr. Do, numerous members from MAMEWorld, Starman99x, Vaughan and Widge-5. After downloading and testing the release, if you enjoyed it, please come back and react by reviewing or liking the page. It will take you just a few seconds and help me give visibility to this project.

TurboGrafx-16 needed some love with a decent 2D box collection (with spines). There is a very nice jewel case 3D box collection for this system out there, but while collecting 2D images for this system I noticed not every game had a jewel case for it and I always thought it did. All games were released with standard cardboard box covers (except Keith Courage as it was a pack-in game) and most had a standard CD jewel case inside with the Hu-Card inside of that jewel case. Must have cost NEC a fortune in packaging. But some games just had the Hu-Card in a plastic housing inside the cardboard box with no jewel case. I collected and made 2D front and left spines for all released games. 94 in total. This does not include the japanese PC Engine versions. Funnily enough, I don't think any Japanese PC Engine games were released in cardboard boxes, jewel cases only. Anyway, this set includes the regular cardboard boxes and the jewel cases. Since not every release had a jewel case, I made a custom one for it anyway. I always loved the jewel case boxes, but now I prefer the retail cardboard fronts. As always I included templates for those that want to make their own boxes. I am going to upload 3D box versions, and TubroGrafx CD as well. Enjoy.

This is Alekfull-XN The theme is originally from Retrobat and Batocera and i really like it. 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

Hello everyone, how are you? I'm Leto and I'm here to post for the first time and exclusively my Nintendo Entertainment System covers that I customized in Photoshop. A professional job was done, valuing the platform that impacted my life so much. I'm sure that from now on, with this hard work done for NES fans, everyone will remember their games again. There are 896 covers with 600x840 resolution for the main NES games, which in my opinion is more than necessary for all fans of the platform. Note: If anyone uses them, don't forget to give credit to the author, thank you very much. A hug to everyone and have fun.

Phew. This was a SET! Sega Master System 2D Box fronts. What a deceptively simple looking set. It wasn't necessarily complicated. Just really, really tedious. Mostly due to the fact of the rampant inconsistency of almost every element. Especially the various title fonts. To quote a member of the smspower.org forums, "Apply excessive, inconsistent kerning to get the authentic look.". It was never just a matter of typing in a game title. Literally every single letter on every single cover had different kerning that needed to be applied to it in order to match the original cover. Literally no two letters had the same kerning. It was outrageous! Sometimes the dot for a lowercase "i" would have it's own kerning independent from the letter. Sometimes the dot would not be included at all. Sometimes there were mixed font sizes within the same word. Sometimes one letter was subscript by .05 for no good reason. Sometimes there was "TM', sometimes there wasn't. Sometimes there was a "TM" with one font for the T, and another for the M. Sometimes there was an ®, sometimes there wasn't. Sometimes the ® had white under, sometimes it was clear. Sometimes the ® was blue, sometimes it was black. Sometimes there was whiteout behind the SEGA logo, sometimes there wasn't. Sometimes there was whiteout only on a certain portion of the S from blue SEGA logo, sometimes there wasn't. etc., etc. You get the idea. Speaking of, there's several different versions of that blue SEGA logo. Which was a task in and of itself. All the logos I came upon online had a large opening, or "inner triangle" on the letter A. Whereas, the actual SMS boxes have a small inner triangle of white. But it still has to sort of keep the overall angle of that entire line that makes up the left angle and goes down to the foot of the A. Of course, that angle also doesn't follow a straight line.. It ever so slightly diverges off the angle it starts from in order to end up making the upper left part of the inner triangle more inward than it normally would be. Might not be explaining it well enough. But that was a thing! There's also about 12 or so variants of the "Sega Master System" logo found on some boxes. That one was a doozy. The logo with the "bulb" of the tail of the letter "y" being in-line with the blue line, but not above it, while still having the skinny part of the letter y swoop under the blue line took quite a while. You wouldn't think it, but it isn't just the font typed with special kerning. It is actually two sets of different kernings on that letter. One for the skinny swoop part that goes under, and one for the bulb. But the skinny swoop doesn't go so far under as to leave a gap through which you can see the white background. Oh no way,...it rides that blue line. Which was custom skewing after all the kerning was done. Because it always wanted to show a gap, no matter what I did with the kerning. So I had to rasterize the layer and skew it manually until the bulb part was squished juuuuuust enough to not go over the blue line, and the swoop went under, but not too far! lol. Layered over each other; eraser, clone, 1px brush in red to fill in manually,..etc., etc. And each version had some slight variation. Like the horizontal rule blue line has a gap,.......the blue line is now black! The line is now at the bottom of the bulb of the letter "y". The line is now above it! The red "Master System" type is tall in this one,...but it's short in this one! ok sorry, moving on! Even the gray grid was inconsistent in nature. I took an example selection from a box front in photoshop, and filled my canvas with that selection to make a nice crisp new grid. Then brought the opacity down to try to match it up to the original grid, and noticed that when one square was exact, a few rows down it wouldn't be. If I matched it exactly to say, the middle row, then it slowly went out of alignment moving out from the equator. So in an effort to add some consistency to a set that was becoming increasingly tedious as I went through it, I just made a grid matching a really nice hi-res scan from one box, and used that throughout the entire set. Speaking of adding consistency. Due to the nature of the scans available, and how they sometimes were skewed, or didn't resize directly into my canvas perfectly (most did, but not all) I did end up settling on some versions of the box that kept artwork elements in the same spot across different boxes from that same design. That way, I didn't always have to move things by very small increments just to match a scan absolutely perfect. Also, some boxes came with elements way off-center by design. Sometimes it looked fine, but other times I went with logos and such that were closer to center. Different publishers were also given license to use their own variations of fonts and logos as long as it fit the general theme of the Sega Master System it seems. Such as the "action" triangle having a slightly different font and coverage area on certain games by certain publishers, and Flying Edge using a 100% black grid versus the normal light grey grid. The Strider II box used a different font on the Sega Master System logo, that is only found on one other box front in the entire set. Tecmagik had their own fonts and style, as did Parker Bros., just to name a few examples. Most of the work/time spent was matching fonts and creating a new fresh set of type, and the pen tool on 1200-1600% zoom in order to cut out all the artwork assets. I tried to match everything I could with clean new examples, however there were times when the scan was high quality, and I didn't feel like spending half an hour matching the individual kerning of each letter on two lines of small font, so I would just cut out the actual artwork from the box and use that since it was so clean. Conversely, there are a few boxes that have some elements that might not be hi-res. I just hit a wall sometimes, and did not want to re-create a small gray square that has some type in it. There also were certain times that I did not feel confident in being able to re-create certain things, so I would just use the full actual scan and call it good. Only had to do this for a handful of boxes out of the entire set. Full artwork boxes were sometimes just used "as-is". The Addams Family and Bart Simpson vs. the World are examples of this. I thought about getting the actual box to scan, but ebay prices dissuaded me lol. Some boxes like Terminator 2 Judgment Day, I was able to use a movie poster and fresh logos for it. For that one specifically, I included a version both with the shotgun, and without. Just for fun. Since Sega had it censored out. Back to the Future II was a composite of a few different elements to get a real clean looking artwork centerpiece. There were a few "one-off" style boxes, like the Master System Classic line, and a few Activision black boxes with silver grid. For the Master System Classic box front I used the full scan from "The Ottifants" as my template, and cut out the part where the artwork is showing through the ripped hole. I also had a little fun and made a version of Outrun that has the ferrari car cut out from the Mark III box. I've included every single game's PSD file as well. That way if you ever need to make any type of box, it's all there. I didn't make one Master Template, so you'll just have to search through for games that have certain elements you'd want/need to include on a box, and bring those elements over to the new file. For example, if you need to add the green "Plays on Master System" rectangle, take it from a game like Spider Man. And if you need the "Light Phaser Series" pink seal, take it from Gangster town. For as tedious as it was, this was still a very interesting set, with all of its variations and differences. I wasn't ever really into the Sega Master System as a kid. My friend had one that I played a handful of times. But working through this set, I've somehow grown an appreciation for the way the boxes were designed. So, with all that rambling done, enjoy! P.S. this webpage helped start me on the correct path in terms of fonts, and What the font was an invaluable tool in helping to find other fonts used on these boxes.

UPDATE: Its been 2 years since I "finished" this, and its taken until now for the MAME burnout to lift. But it's back to add some more games and overall improvements. Thanks to past me futureproofing the project, now me only needed to add 35 games. Stuff I missed first time around and stuff that's been added to MAME over the past 2 years. However, about 100 games need fixing. Thanks to help from the community I was able to easily identify which ones I messed up with double inputs or left the test menu on like a dumbass! MAME of course have changed some stuff and hopefully I've caught everything that pertains to this project. Improved platform xml, with almost all games now having a DB entry. I've also made a bunch of Hardware Playlists! Most of the popular ones beyond what LB creates. Stuff like Capcom ZN, Cave 68000, Seta 1st Generation and a bunch of Sega stuff just to name a few. Open to suggestions to add more! This is the bit you really want to pay attention to with the update! CHDs and the size of this build when culled. So, just to break this down: 3571 Non-Merged Roms (No CHD's) = 15.5GB 3571 Games in Merged Roms (No CHD's) = 16.7GB A culled Non-Merged set is actually smaller in size than a culled merged set. Due to merged including "all versions in one zip", independently, they are overall larger in size. Despite non-merged roms including bios files per rom, making it larger for a full set, a non-merged set ends up being overall smaller when culled like this. Not by much! But, I still fully recommend non-merged as they "just work", being overall smaller in size is an unexpected but added bonus. Now, CHD's. Exactly what is needed is in the documentation. For a full set, for this list of games, it's 110GB! However, 65GB (OVER HALF) of this is Rhythm games. Only 48 of them, Beatmania being the main offender. Another 12GB is occupied by ONE GAME....Fire Fox. A LaserDisc game that probably isn't wort the 12GB. These have been configured and added to the project for completeness. But, I have added these to a playlist (also in documentation) so you can easily delete/not use/exclude these Rhythm games from your build. They don't translate well to a controller anyway, so ya really not missing out on much, but saving 65GB across 48 games. Fire Fox is in that playlist also, do what you want. However.... A Non-Merged Culled set with all CHD's for this list (excluding Rhythm + Fire Fox) = 49 GB I had to double take the first time I calculated this. Almost all of MAME Arcade, 1G1R "ish", excluding games better emulated outside of MAME and oversized CHDs, fits into just under 50GB. Amazing! These figures will of course increase as time goes on, this is just a snapshot of now! Namco System 23 and Model 2 will be added once they are in a better state. They are really, really close to running well enough to add. --END OF UPDATE-- If you want show your appreciation and support the project and myself please check put my Patreon https://www.patreon.com/warpedpolygon No need to use the importer with the provided custom platform xml. I fully recommend using this to get the most out of what's been done. If you have been following along you know what the score is. If you are new here, let me explain what all this is. MAME is awesome, however like many other emulators it doesn't know what your use case is, how can it. So, it's defaults are more of a 'one size fits all... but not perfectly' kind of deal. As a result getting things setup can be a mine field. This isn't just down to MAME defaults, plenty of games present you with a bunch of hoops to jump through just to play the damn thing. This, on top of figuring out controls, (which is the main point here) can be a very frustrating experience. Even google can come up short sometimes leaving you to fumble around in the dark. Removing this frustration is the whole point of the project. I see lots of github requests for MAME that aren't emulation issues, they're configuration and setup issues. This project should alleviate the rage of most users. FOR CONTROL PAD USERS. So, let's just get into the stuff you wanna hear. To keep it simple I'm gonna list what IS here and what ISN'T here: WHAT IS HERE Every working Parent ROM has been configured. Although, some games listed as NOT WORKING do indeed work to some degree. These have also been configured to future proof the project. Clones and/or preferred versions have been identified, configured and added in ADDITION to their parent counterparts. This could be an uncensored Japanese version, control hack, translation or even a sequel. In some instances an entirely different game can be a clone version. This is such an important part of the project. All English region Names/Versions have been configured. You may know a game by a completely different name depending on your region. All English versions with different names have been configured. So, if it's Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom, or just Zoom 909 to you, you'll be able to find it. It'll have that title in game also. I haven't just duplicated the parent version and changed the name in LB. All games have been tested and controls configured for XINPUT Controllers. This has been done per game. Some games needed ages spent on them to figure what the hell was going on. Robocop 2 has diagonals that need mapping to the second player joystick, despite being a one player game. So, you can imagine the time and testing that went in. Multiplayer games set to work with maximum players. Pretty much 70% of 4 player games were setup for 2 players by default. Games that remove the character selection for 4 players have had their 2 player versions also added so you have the choice. Multi screen games set for both one and two screen use. You will have the choice to launch the 1 screen or 2 screen version without having to set everything up. These maybe listed a 1 and 2 player variants. All analog games have had their sensitivity checked and changed if needed. Yes, the trackball Sonic game works just fine despite what people say. Every configured game has a control layout image. Working Prototypes are here. English set for Japanese only games wherever possible. There's more than you think. Unlockable/hidden content pre unlocked. Keep in mind some cheats for hidden content are a one time use and don't save to NVRAM. Fighting game button layouts are setup to all be the same. Exactly the same as Street Fighter 2 on SNES for 6 button fighters. Light gun games set for controller AND mouse usage. Inaccurate games have been calibrated. Widescreen games set to pixel aspect. Technical hoops already jumped through. Much, much, much more. WHAT ISN'T HERE Mah-jong games that use a Mah-jong panel. These simply have too many inputs to map to a controller. Mah-jong games that use a joystick are here. Japanese quiz games. Gambling and video poker games. Basically anything with a BET, HOLD input system. Japanese clone versions, UNLESS they are preferred or have additional content. Truly non working games that simply black screen. Any arcade platforms better emulated outside of MAME for e.g. Sega Model 2 & 3. ABOUT THE PLATFORM XML A lot of work has gone into making sure these games are all accounted for in the xml. There were a bunch of roms that weren't recognised by the importer or games that simply haven't yet been added to the Database. I have made sure that these have been added and named correctly before I start changing/updating the database. Also, I have gone the extra mile and added version info in the title of the game if there are multiples of the same game. So, you will see The Simpsons (2 Player) and The Simpsons (4 Players) as separate versions for extra convenience. PlayChoice-10 games and mega play games have also had this info added to the title so you know exactly what version is being selected, despite sharing the same name as other versions/games. MAME SET ADVICE AND MERGED ROMS Despite my previous statements, Non-Merged is the best for sooo many reasons. I plead with you, just go non merged and you'll have a better time. However, merged will work just fine as long as you have your bios setup correctly. INSTRUCTIONS Download CFG, NVRAM and Control Layout Images Put CFG and NVRAM files in the cfg and nvram folders of MAME Use Images however you want. I like to put these in the Screenshot - Gameplay images folder so they display in the side bar. If you don't use a gameplay screenshots this is a nice solution outside of BigBox. This has been made for use with XINPUT controllers. If you aren't using an XINPUT controller you can use DS4windows or it's alternative. USING THE ARCADE PLATFORM XML Download the Arcade.xml Backup your old xml just in case if you have one. Make sure LaunchBox is not running Place Arcade.xml into Data->Platforms folder in LaunchBox Start LaunchBox. The Arcade platform should be showing now. Select all games in the Arcade platform (Ctrl+A), then go to Tools->File Management->Change ROMs Folder Path for Selected Games (Merged Only) It will say some roms are missing, they're not, just in other zips. Make sure to change paths for these also, when asked. Find your ROMs folder and select it. Don't forget to set your emulator path and set it as the default for Arcade platform. PLAY!!! This project will be kept up to date moving forward. If you have any info, suggestions or whatever just holler in the comments.

This is a giant collection of platform logos drawn digitally by hand. This took well over 500 hours of work over 15 months. While console logos exist all over the internet, this collection aims to bring them to a higher level of polish and accuracy. The default logos in BigBox will now come from this set. It was extremely tedious to ensure a very high level of accuracy across thousands of files. So Many Versions! Each included platform has multiple logo variants. Basically, many consoles had different logos for different regions and time periods. There are also smaller variations such as with or without a trademark (tm). There are black and white versions for each of these. With all of these it can add up to over 50 small variations for one platform! This would be impossible to navigate so I’ve split them up into smaller categories. For each format (Normal, Large and SVG) there are Light and Dark folders. For either of those there are: “Color”, “Black & White” and “Just White” (or Just Black respectively). If you wanted to use a minimalistic dark theme, you could use the “Just White” versions for a contemporary look. If you wanted logos for a standard dark theme then you could use “Light - Color”. Official Versions Included Besides the many hand drawn logos, I’ve also curated multiple logos that are the OFFICIAL renderings. Meaning, vector art ripped from official sources such as websites and pdf manuals. Finding official source art in the wild is pretty uncommon and required many hours of digging. Most of the source art was not in color so most of these colors are still generated by me. Some of the platforms with official logos include: Sadly, some of these wasted a lot of my time because I drew them and later found the official versions. The Drawing Process: My process for drawing a logo required many steps. I first did research on each logo. Then I would dig deep for the best references I could find. One rule I had was to never trust any image. I would compare multiple sources and make sure the source I chose was not fan made or some modern re-release that changed the logo. If a better source was found that showed differences from what I drew I would redraw it again (it sucked). I redrew the NEO GEO logo about 5 times before I was finally happy with it. Generally, source art would include box art images, adverts, brochures, and manual scans. Archive.org and Manualslib.com were a huge help for a lot of these scans. I would then use the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator and go to town! Sometimes if my source was really amazing, I could finish the whole logo in an hour and a half or so. Other times it would take much, much longer. Getting the correct color was always challenging and required intelligent guesswork. For example, with the classic Konami logo, I brought in 20 images. Gathered the color from all of those and found the average color for the red and orange. Then I’d tweak it slightly more, usually to improve saturation. When it came to fonts, I would always search for it but rarely found exact matches. If the font was found I’d obviously use it, but If not I’d have to hand draw it. However, a couple of the smaller taglines/subtitles do use a very close match. Hand drawing those fonts would do more harm than good. While drawing a logo I took great care to make things as visually pleasing as possible. Every little section of each letter of each logo was considered. Curves were carefully made to be smooth with as few anchor points as possible. Letters align with each other and angled letters all share the same angle. Hand drawing fonts is very tricky. Many logos were substantially harder than I’d anticipated. The Sega Saturn US logo for instance, drove me insane. It took over 40 hours to draw (not to mention wasted time from failed attempts months earlier). I used Adobe Illustrator to mimic every highlight, tiny color shift, shading and glow. When I was working on this logo, I’d come home from my graphic design day job and then spend 4 hours on it, which would only finish part of one letter. As I worked, I’d have a couple copies of the logo in the same file and a couple times it bottomed out 32GB of ram! Unique Versions This collection brings a few unique logos to the table. I’m just going to list a few. I created multiple new arcade and pinball logos, although previous arcade logos are here too. I highly polished the Daphne logo as it needed some love. I drew a detailed version of the TeknoParrot logo which seems to be uncommon in high resolution. I also created Sega system 16 and 32 arcade logos based on the exact font used in the Sega 32X and Sega CD (Copperplate Gothic Std 31AB stretched horizontally to 130%). The Capcom logos have stylized alternate versions based on a gradated version Capcom rarely uses. There are several other unique logos I could list here. White Outline - Default Versions Since these logos are replacing the default logos in BigBox, Faeran smartly requested that I create versions with white outlines around the outside. That way logos could be seen against any background color. I only made the outline versions for the options I gave to Faeran. I don’t plan on making outline versions for the rest of the variations. That said, the versions I did make are included here. The outline versions don’t look quite as nice in my opinion but they serve a very functional and important purpose. Solid black logos for some systems, like the PSP, would not be visible in certain themes without a white outline. However, theme creators or those wanting to add logos to a single theme, I would still recommend the non-outline versions for the cleanest look. Conclusion I included every platform and version that I wanted to. There are some more obscure ones I could draw but I didn’t see the need to seeing as how I've created 22,000 files as is. If I knew how much work this was going to take, I would've never gotten myself into this (lol). I hope that you guys get a lot of enjoyment out of these. I’m glad I made them and it feels really good to finally be able to upload them. I made these originally for LaunchBox but they can be used elsewhere. I will always appreciate credit if you use them. Needless to say, I don’t own the rights to the logos and these are NEVER to be sold in any way. Thanks Special thanks to Juketstu and Faeran for their valuable feedback. Also, huge thanks again to Faeran and the LaunchBox team for using these as the new defaults for BigBox!

Here are 9 platform video marquees that I've created. I was originally posting these on the forum, but I'm a dummy and never posted them here. Hopefully more people will see them. I plan to make more, but these do take a decent amount of time to produce. Video files are 2880x1080. This is what my personal ultrawide monitor marquee at home is built for, so I hope that converts over to what other people have. Also, if I'm uploading this in the wrong section, or if there aren't enough videos in this package, then I'm terribly sorry!

Hello everyone, how are you? I'm Leto and I'm here to post for the first time exclusively my Sega Mega Drive covers that I customized in Photoshop. It was a professional job, valuing the platform that had such an impact on my life. I'm sure that from now on, with this hard work done for Mega Drive fans, everyone will remember their games again. There are 804 covers following the same pattern, with 600x840 resolution for the main Mega Drive games, which in my opinion is more than necessary for all fans of the platform. Note: If anyone uses it, don't forget to give credit to the author, thank you very much. A hug to everyone and have fun.

This 2D boxart pack is made up of the missing ones from the excellent WallyWonka's pack. I tried my best to keep them uniform, they're far from perfect, most of them have been AI upscaled and manually adjusted, but most of them are decent enough.

Note: This thread will not be pushed to the front in the "whats new" section, if you want notifications for future updates to this file be sure to follow this page by using the follow button in the upper right corner Part of the "Lights Out - Realistic Bezels" series, for RetroArch bezels in this series see: https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/file/1950-mr-retrolusts-lights-off-retroarch-bezels/ About: NOTE: This original project uses a reflection and scratch layer to add a realistic effect, it defines the style of the project, this is not for everyone. But please don't request "a clean verion" as I haven't kept the layer formats for all these 2000 games, this project is what it is. Realistic bezels in 3840x2160 resolution for MAME. My goal was to make bezels for around 1300 MAME games I had in my collection but I ended up making many bezels more. I started this project in 2019 and finished it in 2022 or so I thought... started making more bezels later on again. I used existing high quality artwork but also cleaned a lot of previously unavailable artwork which @Mr. Do had in his amazing collection. I searched high and low with google images to find existing artwork, which took me to Japanese websites often using google translate and research to get to those obscure images. The quality isn't always as high but I made sure I always used the highest quality I could find. Note: These artwork packs are made for older versions of Mame, if you use Mame 0.226 and upwards and find these files don't work right please see this post as you need to have them in a different lay structure: ============== Installation: Place the zip files inside the packs in mame/artwork/ Also be sure to curve the screen in Mame effects, you can use the preset files I've included in the downloads but they are for an older version of Mame (0.198) so they might not work on newer versions.

142 playlist videos inspired by @Pichirili's Colorful Collection Videos, themselves based off the Colorful theme by @viking. The screenshots attached show off only a small sample of the collection. These were made for my personal collection on and off over the past few months. As such, the quality is somewhat variable, depending on the quality of the assets I could find online. Some look great, others ... well, they get the job done. Likewise, file sizes and video lengths are all over the place. For some of the bigger files, you may want to use Handbrake or a similar program to get the size down (or just cut down the length of the video). I use these in conjunction with the Coverbox theme. I do plan on going back and upgrading some of Pichirlli's previous videos with some higher quality assets, as time allows, and will probably add a few more new videos. But largely I've hit all the franchises I want to feature. Full list of covered series: .hack, Ace Attorney, Ace Combat, Advance Wars, Alan Wake, Alan Kidd, Aliens, Ape Escape, Armored Core, Astro Bot, Atelier Baldur's Gate, Banjo-Kazooie, Battle Arena Toshinden, Battlefield, BattleTech, Battletoads, Bayonetta, Bionic Commando, BioShock, Blaster Master, BlazBlue, Bonk, Borderlands, Bubble Bobble, Bubsy, Burnout Capcom vs. SNK, Carmen Sandiego, Chibi-Robo, Command & Conquer, Commander Keen, Contra, Control, Cotton, Counter-Strike, Crazy Taxi, Cyberpunk 2077 Dark Souls, Darkstalkers, Dead Space, Deus Ex, Diablo, Digimon, Dr. Mario, Duke Nukem, Dynasty Warriors EarthBound, Elden Ring, Elder Scrolls, Etrian Odyssey, Excitebike Fable, Far Cry Galaga, Ghost Recon, Guitar Hero Harry Potter, Horizon, House of the Dead Jak and Daxter, James Bond, Just Cause Katamari, Kid Icarus, Killzone, King's Quest, Klonoa, Kunio-kun Last of Us, Legend of Zelda, Lemmings, LittleBigPlanet, Lord of the Rings, Luigi's Mansion Madden NFL, Mario & Luigi, Mario Sports, Marvel vs. Capcom, Mass Effect, Max Payne, Medal of Honor, Megami Tensei, Minecraft, Mr. Driller, Myst Nier, Ninja Gaiden Oddworld, Ogre Battle, Oregon Trail, OutRun Panzer Dragoon, Paper Mario, Persona, Pikmin, Pitfall, Pong, Portal, Predator, Professor Layton, Punch-Out, Puyo Puyo Quake Raiden, Rainbow Six, Red Dead, Resident Evil, Ridge Racer, Rock Band, RollerCoaster Tycoon SaGa, Shantae, The Sims, Space Invaders, Splinter Cell, Star Ocean, Star Trek, Strider, Super Monkey Ball, Super Mario (5 variants), Super Smash Bros.

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. No support will be provided, due to me checking the forum very infrequently. https://arcade.mameworld.info/ ARCADE64 is a continuation of the MAMEUIFX project. It is based on the latest MAME source at the time of release. It is in maintenance only (no active development of new features). What's in it? Arcade games only NO mechanical games (pinball, crane games, etc) NO computers, consoles, terminals, appliances, etc Only playable games are included –-------- This is the No-Nag version of MAME front end, Arcade64 You need to have setup Arcade 64 in advance. This is only a replacer for the exe. source code and project files available through my Github: https://github.com/xechostormx/arcade64-No-Nag I will upload new versions as long as I am still using the software. Changes are made to ui.cpp as shown below. virus scan results here: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/2560d1667ac15800ac23011d93a6ae75b60932ad9596b3a250a2c536501cd835/detection Line 629: void mame_ui_manager::display_startup_screens(bool first_time) { const int maxstate = 3; int const str = machine().options().seconds_to_run(); bool show_gameinfo = !machine().options().skip_gameinfo(); bool show_warnings = false; bool video_none = strcmp(downcast<osd_options &>(machine().options()).video(), OSDOPTVAL_NONE) == 0; // Removed conditional logic for nonag build

I'm redoing all of the bezels of my favorites collection in Launchbox using artwork I've found everywhere while also using various techniques to upscale to 4k. Most of the artwork I've found is from Mr Do's site and arcadeartwork.org. Shout out to AlexDC22 for the Neo Geo bezels. These are to be used with Duimon's Bezel Project MegaBezel integration using his instructions here: https://github.com/Duimon/Duimon-Bezel-Project Additional Screenshot Album https://imgur.com/a/q35NtSo New bezels will be updated periodically. Once enough are accumulated, I'll combine them into the master zip file.

A new startup video 4 u all Hi it's been quite a while .... back to celebrate 12 years of the best front-end ever. Hope everyone is doing great , greetings from the past. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5iaHunid5o

Around 1/3 of this set is from the database, i've made the rest of the OFFICIAL AES releases to finish it off (and redone a few existing spines), quality varies based on available artwork but is better than what's available currently on the database. Let me know if you made the existing images so i can give credit.

After doing the TG16 set, I felt I had to bang this one out too. This system confused with the type of art it used. Like TG16, some of the CD games were released in cardboard boxes, while most were just sold in jewel case form. All of these games had a jewel case, but some had a double jewel case despite having only one disc. Very weird (some Sony PS1 games did the same). 4 in 1 Super CD was the most confusing to me. This game has one disc, but I dont know if it had a proper jewel case or not. I couldnt find a proper back or spine image, and I don't think it even had its own cover art. I made a generic custom one for that. If anyone has any information or pictures/scans of the original release let me know. Anyway, all releases are included, but again no japanese PC Engine CD releases here. The boxes that did have a standard cardboard release are here, along with all jewel cases. Templates are also included. I'll upload the 3D boxes as well. Enjoy.

Hello guys, today I propose you something Big! A big exclusive (temporary because given the somewhat the little historical aspect of things I have to share it elsewhere) I worked in close collaboration with an artist who created a Blender of the Super disc (a commercial version of the MSU prototype) based on the latest statements from the developers as well as on the design of the Satellaview (extension of the Super Famicom, marketed only in Japan from 1995) New logo once again based on the official acronym of the official super disc used by the developers at the time! In short, nothing was left to chance and I think it is the cleanest version that a commercial and definitive version of the console could have given! Even Secret of Mana is not a coincidence since it was the launch title planned for the release of the machine on day one! the creation of these media does not call into question all the work of the guys who are based on the msu logo (which was the prototype) but now leaves the choice and brings a new alternative for those who want it. Go towards the charter "logo prototype msu" or "the Super disc" This representation of the super disc is definitely the most beautiful and realistic of the proposals Everyone will choose which charter to go for according to their tastes! I leave you some media for those who would like to open a construction site! Here is my theme which will also be shared in the batocera community. For the History/ of the MSU In the early 90s, many video game manufacturers saw the relatively new CD medium as a way to expand the capabilities of their existing consoles, and Nintendo had planned a CD expansion for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Originally planned and developed in cooperation with Sony, Nintendo later turned to Phillips to carry out the project, but no finished product ever saw the light of day. Sony, offended by Nintendo, developed the Playstation to commercial maturity, and Phillips released the CD-I independently (which did not do well at all, by the way). But if history had taken a different course, perhaps we would all remember the Nintendo Super Disc today. . Many thanks to Oliver Harries for his trust and availability:
