Daphne / Singe media - Marquees (16:3), Box fronts, 3D boxes, Clear logos View File Hi all, I was recently setting up American Laser Games and Daphne (Singe and Singe v2). I needed to create some 3D boxes and marquees (16:3 which suits my stretched LCD) and box fronts, clear logos etc. I found some of this stuff on the internet but created a lot too so there's new stuff and some improved stuff. I thought I'd just share them here in case they came in handy for anyone else? Just saves you doing the same work if you're trying to get some media for Daphne.

Yep, fingers crossed Especially with the new Marquee screen settings that have been released with LB v12.7

Please let me know if you get anywhere with it. I'd started messing around with Camtasia last night and managed to take a 16:3 ratio section out of my Arcade Platform video snap which will play really well on my marquee (if I could get it to show videos). If I can get it working then I'll carry on making other platform/playlist videos. 🙂

Thanks for that. It's not something I'm desperate for but just didn't want to waste time trying to get it to work if it's not baked into the software yet. Thanks for saving me the time and trouble. Much appreciated 🙂

Hi all, I know that from v12 there was the ability to have video marquees for games. I wondered if it's possible to have video marquees for platforms/playlists? And, if so, how I go about it? I wanted a video marquee for Arcade Classics (playlist). I made a "Marquee" folder in the \Videos\Playlists\ but no joy? So, I've so far tried... \Videos\Playlists\Marquee\Arcade Classics.mp4 \Videos\Playlists\Arcade Classics\Marquee\Arcade Classics.mp4 But no joy? Is it possible? Thanks

Excellent! Well done! Now the tricky part is playing the bloody things! I always struggle playing Dragon's Lair etc. Can never get the timing / controls correct 🙂 But, enjoy!

Yep, I've done the same. I was having problems getting Spectrum games set up - they would work - then I would tweak something for another platform and they wouldn't work anymore! 🙂 So, I've set up a "Retroarch - Controllers" which is all the platforms that I use my controllers on and also a Retroarch - Handhelds and a Retroarch - Spectrum. I know that I could probably consolidate them but I like it this way. More hard drive space but that's not a major problem and I can safely play around with controls / shaders etc without affecting another platform.

You need to get them working from the Daphne launcher first. Then check the Daphne-log.txt to see what files the software is looking for. From there you'll have a better understanding of which (if any) files are in the wrong place. Hope that helps 🙂

If you can do American Laser then Daphne is just exactly the same. You shouldn't have any problems (fingers firmly crossed!) 🙂

Hi @Juketsu As others have said, this theme is absolutely beautiful. I think it's the only theme I will ever need on my cab as it really completes the look perfectly. There are just a few tiny tweaks that I'd love to do but can't find the source files for this one (you uploaded the source files for the version 1.x). Are the source files for this one uploaded? I've been playing around with the Theme Creator and watching a lot of the You Tube videos on it and, whilst I can't "build" a theme, I can certainly stand on the shoulders of giant (like yourself) and 'tweak' a theme... Many thanks for all your hard work and releasing this great theme into the community, you can tell by the outpouring of positive feedback just how great your work is 🙂

Well done. Enjoy 🙂

Did you have a look at the Daphne_log.txt to see what that says? It's probably just a path error somewhere... ? I've not messed with American Laser Games in years (whenever this thread was created) but I remember seeing quite a few of those error messages before I finally cracked it. *Edit* - the first trick is to get them working with their own launcher before you start trying to get Launchbox to run them.

These are superb!! Really great looking. Not sure if you are planning on doing any others... if you do find yourself expanding the collection then a Lightgun Games / Quiz Machines / Hidden Object Games / Jukebox ones would go down a treat? Or maybe instructions on how they were made (give a man a fish and all that...) Thanks for sharing your hard work 🙂

Brilliant RetroCove. Thanks for the idea. I think that's the way I'll go.... I really like your Favourites (All Systems) category as well. That's a great idea. Many thanks for the idea 🙂

Thanks Retro. Appreciate you clarifying. I'ts not a problem but would just be a "nice to have". My son has started playing with my arcade and unless you're "in the know" you're not going to know search for "Future Pinball" etc... (obviously I've told him about it - but it would make my arcade more intuitive if there was a Pinball category in among the Platform list...). Thanks again for your help 🙂
