    Finally got around to MK3, lol. Again, just tried to make the original marquee "come to life." MK3.zip

    Made a marquee for Mortal Kombat II. This one is a little bit more of a "what if the original Marquee came to life." It's more simple, though it took a lot more work. Moral Kombat 2.zip

    Sorry, just saw your post! Made one of the first MK game real quick (well, like an hour, lol) What do you think? I have the project files and can always edit them. I work this weekend, but I'll try to get some stuff done Monday-Wednesday. Hopefully for the MK series and finish with Metal Slug. Moral Kombat 1992.zip
  4. retrojoshvc started following Launch Game theme Indiana Jones Ancient circle

    Went ahead and made Video Marquees for Metal Slug 2 and 3 as well. Will have more for 4,5,6,7, and X coming. Am busy doing renovations around the house, but will pop these out as I have time. Metal Slug 2 Metal Slug 3 Metal Slug 2 and 3.zip

    Well, I went ahead and tried to duplicate the Teknoparrot marquee from Arcade Adam's video: Also, I looked back and saw your request for the Metal Slug series. So, I started with the first game: I used a chromatic aberration effect on the footage, kinda going for a "CRT Feel," but is it too much? Feel like I might need to tone it down a bit. I'll try to get the other games done throughout the week as long as I have time. If people want to leave suggestions for platforms (especially platforms) or games that need doing, I'm willing to slowly try and get them done. Might be a way for me to actually start doing more of these. Metal Slug Marquee.mp4 TeknoParrot Marquee.mp4

    I’m not sure where to find it, but I can see if I can come up with something similar. Will make it easier on myself and look for a similar background visualizer effect on Envato Elements.

    Made a couple more, feeling inspired! If you feel anything looks off, want something changed, or want to make a request, let me know. These next two might be too "overly filtered" for some. Let me know and maybe I'll upload with less lighting effects layered over the top. I'll attach these two to this post as well. Super Nintendo Sega CD 10-02-2024.zip

    I added it as an attachment on the first post. They're in a .zip file.

    Edited the post, added video previews for a Sega Genesis video + a Neo Geo AES video. Also added a zip file with all of the video files. Hope its of use!

    Sorry all! When I posted this, it didn’t seem like there was much interest, so I never got around to figuring out how to post the files. Since then, I obviously haven’t been around, so I didn’t see these replies until Truest1 messaged me earlier (and I got an email). So, newb question, what would be the easiest way to upload the files? Tomorrow I’ll see about tracking down the ones I have and I’ll be glad to upload them. I know I have a Sega Genesis one as well that I made and I do actually plan on making more (oddly enough, it was on my mind to get started back on this and I literally planned to start back up on it in the morning).

    Noted. Missed that E in the logo. Edited the files and re-uploaded them, also added a thicker stroke around some objects. I am enjoying the process! End goal is to have videos for at least all of my platforms in the future.

    Hey all! I've never uploaded any files on here and don't want to post anything in the wrong place, or honestly just waste anyone's time. I'm just getting my arcade off the ground and I have a 43" ultrawide marquee (Sceptre brand 43.8", highly recommend it for the price if you have a large arcade), so I've created a few video marquees that are 2880x1080 pixels. I plan to create a lot more as I go along. I've tried to create them so that they loop around on themselves, but I don't know what the optimal length of each video should be? Some are one minute in length, some are shorter. I've uploaded to YouTube so people can see and gauge any interest. If the size is too awkward, length is too long, etc. I can try to adjust the videos to fit some kind of agreed-upon community guidelines if there are any. Here's what I've created so far: Namco System 357: Nintendo Entertainment System: Neo Geo AVS Sega Genesis: PC Games: I don't like calling my Platform Steam/Windows or anything of that sort, and prefer the broader title "PC Games" This isn't a platform, but a playlist, but I'll include it here as well: Contra Collection: 10-01-2024.zip

    This was a fun project that took far longer than it should have. Kind of hard balancing hobbies now with an 8month old! Built this for a friend after he really liked my 2-player cabinet at home. I said if we are building another one, let’s make it 4-player! This project featured a lot of firsts for me. My first cabinet featured an X-Arcade for the joysticks and had just some ordinary plexiglass covering the monitor, two things I definitely didn’t want to do again. So, I fabricated a box covering the 32” TV inside of it and did some router work on it to make it look halfway decent. Made several mistakes along the way, plenty of things I would change, but overall he was happy with it and so was I. Systems in LaunchBox: arcade, nes, snes, Nintendo 64, gb, gbc, gba, PlayStation, masterdrive, genesis, sega cd, 32x, game gear, and Dreamcast. All console and handheld games controlled with Xbox controllers attached to the sides, all arcade games controlled with arcade panel.

    You are a king, sir, and I'm an idiot. God only knows how I kept searching out all of this information and didn't find out that my version of the emulator wasn't the latest. Yeesh. Sorry, again, for my stupidity, hopefully somehow I'll find a way to actually contribute to this awesome community! And you are not wrong, man. Not at all. This is just my first go-around with Launchbox and even Retroarch (outside of making a few Raspberry Pi builds in the past), so I'm learning as I go. I spent waaaayyyy too much time configuring mame in Retroarch before deciding on this control panel + joypad configuration. Beginning with a 0.78 romset, finding there were games that I wanted that weren't working when that romset was created, then bastardizing my collection with various roms and toying with different cores until everything just seemed to work. It's an unfortunate house of cards type of configuration that I'm afraid to mess with any further out of fear I'll destroy the whole thing, lol. It's a Frankenmame collection, but it seems to work and I'll keep knocking on wood. When I find a good source and can get a nice, uniform, and updated Mame collection going, I'll probably mess with it again.

    I'm curious which version you tried, because at this point I'll go for it. I'm desperate for a "start in fullscreen" checkbox at this point, haha! I have VisualBoyAdvance-M v 2.0.0, and under Options > Video there is only a "Select fullscreen mode..." option here and it does not allow you to auto-start in fullscreen, nor open games in fullscreen. The options refer to color depth, device, resolution, and refresh rate. At this point, I'm willing to lose pause menu options in favor of simply an emulator that remains fullscreen with few issues. I found KIGB works well for all GB systems except the Gameboy Advance. So, worst case scenario, I may scrap GBA from this setup until some point in the future. I tried the AHK, but unfortunately received this error: "Error at line 2. Line Text: T >> ESC = Error: Invalid hotkey. The program will exit." Thinking on it now though, I'm unsure a AHK will solve my problem completely as I'm hoping to have this system without a mouse or keyboard and solely controlled by the joysticks and joypads in the future. I've also tried the original VisualBoyAdvance v 1.8.0-beta 3. I gave VisualBoyAdvance Link v. 1.8.0 a shot as well, but unable to find an option that helps. Also tried BatGBA 2.24b, but found no permanent fullscreen option. Thank you so much for the reply and consideration!
