I'm so glad you found Pegasus FE. I think right now it's the next big one, they just need a better UX to add files easily. But the themes, performance, and most importantly, price, it's going to make Pegasus the best one there is.
-
that's fine, hence my "cursed". But why would you delete them? ? if anything, just make them public domain or release them on github so people can keep working on them! I learned a lot from customizing these themes, and I think a lot of other people will too. Shutting down such a good source like your themes help no one

this might be the most cursed comment you'll ever read thimolor, but will you update your older themes for the new Wall View too? (please don't kill me) As always, your themes as absolutely fantastic, I basically have no feedback for Pulse since it already looks great.

I'd kill for a wall view in big box (just like Launchbox displays them)... isn't possible to do a clean/customized version of that?

REQUEST - Box Art focused theme

try LV-101. -
Apparently right now what it does, is replacing the platform's XMLs and fully removing all data with their custom XML, which isn't good. Perhaps someone could make it work? Because the alternative is downloading the images elsewhere, but then, they don't work on Launchbox because they're named "GameName - GameName" instead of "GameName_ GameName". Yes, I could run a renamer but it beats the purpose of the tool.

hi @y2guru , this is a support question, not sure where to ask and wheter it's your bug or it's Launchbox's... The issue is with "Selected Item Video". No matter what, apparently it can't be hidden and if it doesn't find a video it displays "Game screenshots". I spent 1:30 hours trying to find where the issue with my theme was and the culprit was this one. I'm not sure if it's by design or a bug, hopefully it's a bug. What I want to do is keep the video hidden (no opacity) if there's no video, so it shows a game screenshot below it. Right now, if I don't delete the "Selected Item Video", it displays a game screenshot no matter what, along with the game screenshot I have below it, and it looks awful.

I need YOUR help with my biggest "launcher" decision!

I was wondering about this too. Grid(Wall) View is absolutely essential for me, though for now I found some compromises. Playnite is very rough, and their fullscreen mode is nice but it's very barebones - it's due for an update "soon". Anyways, just wanted to voice my full support for this, probably my #1 issue with LaunchBox right now. -

OK I did a test. Just updated NEC Turbografx (300 games) and it took me 48 minutes. No videos, 4 images average. This means that if I would have to update your MAME set, it would take me 3.2 hours, again, without videos. It's twice your average (1.5 hours)... which isn't bad at all and it means it would take at worst a couple days on my MAME collection (10K+ games), but there is indeed some discrepancy on the download times, specially if we consider I haven't downloaded any videos. I have 100 MB internet, BTW, so clearly the issue isn't speed.
-
exactly, I didn't have a reference, so I assumed it was going to be relatively quick for the baseline things for a system (box, couple gameplay screenshots, logo). Mind you or anyone tell me how much does it take for you guys to download an entire system with 500+ games and 5 images average? no videos or anything really heavy.
-
Fair enough. I'll take it you're telling the truth and I won't complain anymore about this, it's just that most people I talked they said that the download rates were "very fast" so I expected completing an entire 2000 games system in a couple minutes, tops. I guess not too bad.
-
I have "remove roughly..." unchecked and it still takes an entire second to download a single image. This means that for something like MAME, it could take literally weeks to download just 5-7 images per game.

Not sure where to post this but here it goes. I've noticed a couple inconsistencines with the Platform database in Launchbox, so I'm posting these so they get eventually fixed. Follows the naming standard '[Manufacturer] [PlatformName]'. ColecoVision > Coleco ColecoVision WonderSwan > Bandai WonderSwan WonderSwan Color > Bandai WonderSwan Color Notable exceptions: Enterprise (a PC), Mega Duck (made by 3 manufacturers), Spectravision (brand for a number of PCs). Sources https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ColecoVision https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WonderSwan

same.

I'm an hyper noob on these. Can I remove the videos functionality (editing the theme files) and replace it with game screenshots, so at least something appears? For game view.
