  1. I'm playing the recently released DOOM 1+2 and the new remixed OST on top of the game really makes the game shine.

    Here's one of my fav tracks (which is basically a Slayer song that also MIGHT be "inspired" by Metallica lol): 

     

  2. I think a good remaster let ups pick between old and new graphics, like Diablo II Resurrected does. Add support for modern screens, CPU and GPU features is paramount.

    Game fixes should be added as a priority, too! Community often spends years fixing pesky bugs, those should get added in a remaster.

    As an added bonus, remixed OST, dev commentary or artwork is great to have but very optional.

    Going to put this theme on hold indefinitely. Found Pegasus Fe + Minimis. That theme is just perfect for me. So bye for now.

    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.

    No, I don't want to use my time adding stuff to those anymore. Actually I would like to remove them completely after I finish Pulse. I know you didn't want to hear this, but I just don't want to revisit my old work because it looks bad now :)

    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 :(

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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).
