  1. @Lordmonkus Thanks for the clarification. I have another question now though. On the official LaunchBox website I believe it said that you could make LaunchBox completely portable, and accessible to multiple computers at once by installing LaunchBox in a cloud storage folder such as Drop Box, One Drive, Google Drive etc, and that you could turn on any PC, sign into the cloud storage service of your choice, and that the LaunchBox folder would be available to access in the cloud storage folder that would appear on that PC. But, being the fact that you said that some emulators like Dolphin for example aren't automatically portable without doing some extra steps to make it portable, does this mean that even if I went a cloud storage route like that, and reinstalled my entire PC for example, or simply used another PC for that matter that some of the emulators wouldn't just automatically work out of the box without a little extra leg work? Does this mean that I would have to do those extra steps on each, and every PC that I signed into the cloud storage service from, and if so, what are the extra steps that would be required to make everything work flawlessly on each PC? So in other words, even with a cloud storage service, and installing LaunchBox into that cloud storage folder, that still won't just make everything automatically seamless, and hassle free across all computers, right?
  2. So if I want to have a completely portable LaunchBox with emulators I can do that without losing anything? So instead of installing RetroArch, installing PCSX2, and installing Dolphin, I could just go for the zipped archive versions, make a folder within Launch Box called Emulators, throw each of the Emulator archive folders into the Emulators folder within the Launch Box installed folder in my users folder, and I won't lose anything going that route?
  3. Hi, I was always curious. When an emulator like RetroArch, PCSX2, or Dolphin, etc as an example gives you the choice between the standard installer version, or the zipped archive version that contains everything in a self contained folder, which one should I pick? Some people say that you should always go for the installer version because it's easier to use, and gives you more features etc, while others say you should always go for the zipped archive version because there 's no reason anymore to use installers, and how installing programs traditionally is obsolete, and that you don't get anything special by installing it over just running it in a self contained folder, and that by using the self contained folder option, you get portability, and it's not tied down to your system, and making unnecessary changes to things like start menu items, and the registry etc, and you don't have it appearing under your installed software menu, and claims it makes it easier to remove the software completely by just getting rid of the folder since uninstalling standard software that was installed traditionally will leave traces of itself behind in folders, in start menu items, and in the registry etc. Some programs still have to be installed though, and thus don't give the option to be downloaded as a zipped archive, but for those that do have the zipped archive version as a choice, which one should I pick? Which side of the argument is right? For example, when I get the PS2 emulator, PCSX2, or the GC/Wii emulator, Dolphin, or the multi system emulator everyone loves so much that is slowly but surely taking over the world, RetroArch, will I get anything special by using the installer that I won't get by just opting for the zipped archive version? And if the zipped archive versions are so much better than why even offer installers anymore for programs that don't require it as a mandatory thing in the first place? And even stranger is the fact that the PSP emulator PPSSPP used to only have the zipped archive version as the download option, but then later added the installer version, and the same exact thing happened with RetroArch as well. They too used to just be an only zipped archive kind of program, but then eventually added the installer as an option as well. But if the installers are so inferior to the zipped archive versions, then why do some programs who only started out being zipped archives add installer options later as if it was somehow some sort of an improvement? See, this is where I've always been confused for a long time now. When it comes to programs giving the choice between the two, which one is the superior option?
  4. It's nice, but I still like The Grid video more.
  5. @keltoigaelDon't forget to credit @Zombeaver, and @mrcleen74. They were the ones who gave me the files to be able to give to you in the first place.
  6. Problem solved. @Zombeaver had The Grid file, and gave it to me, and someone named @mrcleen74 had The VHS Grid file, and gave it to me. I forwarded both files to @keltoigael and wait for him to re upload them to the optional downloads in the City Hunter theme properly like he said he would do if I could manage to find them, which I did. Now all the people in this comments section who was asking for The Grid files will finally have them. In the mean time, I'll also link them in my comment as well while we're waiting for @keltoigael to re upload them to the downloads section of the theme ❤️ background.mp4.a9366ca0ffa834ef7bbd81078a91157d.mp4.178de2dbf12531f7044ecfaf60f814e4.mp4 background.mp4.8a53747fc0e1c88dc7bf6268bb161324.mp4

So I don't know if a mod needs to mark this as resolved, and/or lock it or what not, but I'm finished with this thread now. background.mp4 background.mp4.a9366ca0ffa834ef7bbd81078a91157d.mp4
  8. I downloaded the plugin version, but I only use one video anyway. Am I gaining anything from using that version then?
  9. The video is no longer included in the theme, or the optional downloads section of the theme like it used to be. This is why we need to find somebody who still has the file on their computer so that they can re upload it for us, because for whatever reason, the file was lost to us on the internet.
  10. I'm a little confused still on what the real differences are in the Standard version, and the Plugin version. What does enables random video playback mean? o_O
  11. Hi, so it's as the title says. When I watched some YouTube videos on your unbroken software YouTube channel, I saw one that showed off the Critical Zone City Hunter theme, and it showed how to use the banners, and the clear fonts to make it look pretty amazing. The default background video was like some sort of racing, or building one that was all like purple, or something. Now, the person making the YouTube video said that his favorite one was one called The Grid, which was just a loop of some Matrix Blue Line Grid looking thing that played in the back ground of the theme. But now, I cannot for the life of me find it anywhere here, on YouTube, or the internet itself for that matter for me to actually download it. It used to be a optional file when you downloaded the theme but now it's no longer available so could someone please re upload it for me? Thanks.
  12. Is it 8.5 Beta, or do you mean the full release as in it's fully completed?
