Hello @RejectedGalaxy!, which version of LaunchBox are you using at the moment? The latest beta versions handle music differently and I do not have the theme updated to utilize the new method (the specific Background Platform Music folder) as you mentioned above. I’ve not tested how the new beta version handles music using the Platform specific directories just yet, but the music should only play on the Platform view and not on the Game Details views once a game is selected. If the music is playing constantly regardless, try going to the previous version. At the moment even on an older version of LaunchBox the existing theme does play both the music and a video at the same time when browsing a game such as on PS3. This is due to a lack of an available API to handle separate background audio and video audio. I am working with LaunchBox on how to best handle this. However at the moment it’s a limitation I have to work within. Hopefully this gives some context to the issue and helps with getting it working better for you.

Uploading a new version, v2.1.2 v2.1.2 Resolved issue where the Sony PSP background wallpaper wasn't fully covering the screen. New Platform View: MS-DOS View:

Heya @jordanwink thanks for the kind comment! Currently the theme is designed for 16:9 aspect ratios, and it would take a bit of work to make it compatible with dynamic resolutions. Currently my patreons are the ones that decide on upcoming features but I'll add it to the next poll for them to vote on. Thanks!

Hey RetroSharka! Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately at the moment there isn't a way within BigBox to control the music separately. I am currently working on a solution for this that won't be available until after 13.9 comes out. If you'd like, you can remove the music from the theme folder and that is generally the way most users go if the music is not wanted.

Had a slight issue with the Arcade Cabinet reflections and Steam/Windows game details screens not displaying correctly. This should be resolved in the latest release of v2.1.1

I'm excited to introduce the latest update of the "Mini Consoles Theme" for Launchbox BigBox. This version brings several new features that will elevate your game collection presentation to new heights! If you run into any issues please do let me know. Unfortunately my development environment became corrupted so this release may be the last for a bit while I work to recover the development files. Thank you again and I hope you enjoy. Platform View Revamp: Redesign_Mini_Console_Theme.mp4 The Platform View has undergone a complete overhaul inspired by the COLORFUL theme, incorporating the same vibrant colors found in COLORFUL Platform videos. The new Platform View has been adjusted to seamlessly accommodate any Platform video, resulting in a colored border surrounding the video for a cohesive and visually appealing theme experience. Audio Enhancements: Background audio and song volumes have been significantly reduced by 75% across the entire theme. This reduction is aimed at enhancing the overall user experience by ensuring that audio elements do not overpower other aspects of the theme. New Platform Views: Nintendo Game Boy View: A brand-new Nintendo Game Boy view has been introduced to replace the existing Nintendo Game Boy view. This new view is designed to more accurately represent the Nintendo Game Boy platform, addressing the previous view's closer resemblance to the Nintendo Super Game Boy. Nintendo Super Game Boy Views: As a result of the Nintendo Game Boy view replacement, three distinct Nintendo Super Game Boy views have been introduced: North America Super Game Boy View (Nintendo Super Game Boy): Tailored to North American users, this view captures the essence of the North American Super Game Boy experience. PAL Regions Super Game Boy View (Super Game Boy): Designed specifically for PAL regions, this view provides a unique representation of the PAL Super Game Boy setup. Super Game Boy 2 View (JP Regions) (Super Game Boy 2): For users in Japanese regions, the Super Game Boy 2 view has been created to replicate the JP Super Game Boy experience. Default Coverflow View and Default Game Details View Revamp: In addition to the Platform View overhaul, both the Default Coverflow View and Default Game Details View have undergone a complete redesign. These views have been transformed to align seamlessly with the COLORFUL style, while still preserving the distinctive backgrounds and colors associated with each platform. General Improvements and Bug Fixes: Various minor bug fixes and performance enhancements have been implemented to ensure a smoother and more enjoyable user experience. Overall theme stability and responsiveness have been improved to minimize any potential issues. I hope you enjoy the latest Mini Consoles Theme Version 2.1.0 with these exciting new features and improvements. Your feedback is highly valuable in helping me further refine and enhance the theme. Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm!

Heya @lessthanzero33! Thanks for the kind words! Initially I was planning to have those arcade cabinets available, and they can still be implemented in a future update. For most of the new features and development going forward my Patrons vote on the next set of features and platforms to prioritize. To give you an idea here's what the CAVE cabinets looked like, and would be similar to the ones you mentioned as well: For Pinball FX that has also been requested previously, I'll need to figure out how to actually make that work if its possible, but that would be some time to investigate and see what my patrons want to prioritize. Thanks again!

Hey all, thanks for your patience and support while I was recovering. I'm feeling much more like myself and will get back into the theme development soon. With that said, here's a sneak peak of the current work in progress for the next update. The main features in this next update will be: Platform View redesigned completely based on the COLORFUL theme. This allows for videos on the Platform view, and also redesigns the Coverflow view and default Game Details View. The background music and platform theme volume is also being decreased by over 75% across the theme to be more bearable. Three new views have been created, and one re-created. The Nintendo Game Boy view is redesigned to better represent the Game Boy, and three new Super Game Boy views have been created, one for NA, PAL, and Super Game Boy 2 for JP regions. Here's some previews and I hope you look forward to it! Platform View Redesign Redesign_Mini_Console_Theme.mp4 Nintendo Game Boy Nintendo Super Game Boy Super Game Boy Nintendo Super Game Boy 2

I wanted to provide you with a quick and important update regarding my health. Unfortunately, I became ill a couple weeks ago, and it seems I will require hospitalization and surgery. While I was eager to get this sorted out last week, it appears that the earliest available date for the procedure is the 27th. I promise I'm doing everything in my power to get this scheduled as soon as possible, and will be reaching out persistently next week to try to expedite things. I deeply apologize for any inconveniences this might cause and any interruptions in the content or interactions you’ve come to expect. Your patience, understanding, and unwavering support mean the world to me during this challenging time. Hope to be back at it soon. Thanks.

Did a small update, v2.0.1, fixes an issue with Sega CD displaying as Sega Mega CD. Also, for the BigBox Search, you'll notice the initial view is unsupported, but as it states, switching to CoverFlow Fullscreen will display your results properly and as a bonus the theme changes as you navigate through the games depending on their platform.
