Game Cart Generator View File Created by Saieno (@Lets_All_Game on Twitch and YouTube) The Game Cart Generator is a user-friendly desktop application for generating custom “game cart” images. Inspired by the aesthetic of physical cartridges (like GBA, SNES, N64, etc.), this tool allows you to batch render stylized versions of your game artwork—perfect for LaunchBox collections, streaming visuals, or custom projects. Features Drag-and-drop friendly GUI with preview Supports PNG, JPG, and JPEG artwork Custom gradient and pattern overlays for labels Dynamic padding sliders (with extended range toggle) Stretch toggle to force logo/art to fill label area exactly Per-template settings saving via settings.conf Auto-detects label area from green alpha template Standalone EXE no prerequisites required How It Works Alpha Template (#00FF18) A green-screen-style image with a solid color (#00FF18) marking the label area on the cart. Cartridge Template The transparent base image representing the full cartridge (excluding the green box). Game Media Directory A folder containing game logos or box art that will be composited onto the cartridge. Optional Patterns Directory Black-and-white masks used to create visual overlays within the label area. Output Directory The folder where generated cart images are saved. Once configured, the tool auto-detects the label area, applies gradients/patterns if enabled, resizes the media into place using the padding values you set, and saves the final composited cart. You can preview the result using the Preview button before exporting in batch via Generate Carts. Saved Settings A settings.conf file is automatically generated next to the application to store padding preferences per cartridge template (based on full file path). Padding ranges from -100 to 100 by default, or -500 to 500 when extended range is enabled. "Stretch Image" toggle allows you to bypass aspect ratio preservation and forcibly fill the entire label area. Submitter Saieno Submitted 04/01/2025 Category Third-party Apps and Plugins  

Redream Per-Game VMUs View File Redream Per-Game VMUs for LaunchBox Created by Saieno - @Lets_All_Game on Twitch and YouTube What it is A ready-to-use installer package for enabling per-game Virtual Memory Unit (VMU) save file management in Redream; fully integrated with LaunchBox Why use it Redream creates four VMU files, and by default all four are shared across all games. This tool creates a vmu0.bin dynamically per-game, while leaving vmu1–vmu3 shared and persistent. This allows each game to have its own memory card (vmu0.bin), preventing cross-game save data conflicts and minimizing space limitations. Requirements: LaunchBox 13.12+ (must be closed during installation) Standalone Redream (latest version) Redream configured with automated default settings in Launchbox Redream needs to be marked as your 'Default Emulator' for the platform More than one Emulator configured within Launchbox ROM filenames with single spaces only Windows 10/11 (not available on Android) What it does Installs a dynamic launcher (DCBoot.bat) and a minimized shortcut (DCBoot.lnk) Installs a custom AHK script (LaunchGameRedream.ahk) for handling VMUs Copies a blank vmu-default.bin into Redream Modifies Redream Emulator in LaunchBox to hook into the new launcher Installs a custom LaunchBox plugin (PerGameVMUName.dll) for consistent and clean VMU naming Bonus Full uninstaller included — reverts all changes and cleans up Everything self-contained, no manual file editing required Installer remembers paths via settings.conf for faster reinstalls/uninstalls VMU files are based on the name within LaunchBox for consistency Share and trade per-game VMUs easily from the Redream VMU_Games directory Before You Install If you already have save data in vmu0.bin, consider moving those saves to vmu1, vmu2, or vmu3 before installing. After installation, Redream will use a new game-specific VMU as vmu0.bin for each game. Once a game is launched, you can transfer your old saves from the shared VMUs (vmu1–3) onto the new per-game VMU within Redream itself. Known Issues Filenames with double spaces will not load properly into Redream. Please use a tool like Bulk Rename Utility to clean up ROM filenames before launching. If Redream is the only Emulator configured within LaunchBox, it can cause issues on install. Submitter Saieno Submitted 03/20/2025 Category Third-party Apps and Plugins  

Hey @DragoonDemon4 , that seems a little more like a BigBox issue rather than a theme issue, but I could be wrong. What have you tried in terms of troubleshooting? Have you tried the VLC player instead of the WMP?
