Thanks for pointing this out JackDefJam! I’ll add that to the list to resolve in the next release. Really am thankful for all the issues being reported, and glad everyone is enjoying the theme! If you come across any other odd issues feel free to let me know, and thanks again!

OH! I see what you're referring to now! The actual gameplay video is cropped incorrectly in the 3DO Game Details View! I'll get that resolved in a future update when I have additional changes as well to avoid having so many releases and needing for people to redownload etc. Thanks for pointing this out!

This should now be resolved in 1.0.8, let me know if that works for you!

Ah you’re right! I forgot I made multiple views to cover the naming of Panasonic 3DO and 3DO Interactive Multiplayer. Should be an easy fix and I’ll get that updated tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up! Heya Kondorito! So the font for the Nintendo game details screens is from the official Nintendo Mini Consoles, that’s why the layout and everything is the same for Nintendo platforms. (I tried to also have all the Atari ones have their own style, same for Sega, etc). I agree it’s a little weird with the font they chose but it’s Nintendo lol.

Hello Denmiclaw, the Game Select screen is not actually the correct screen for the 3DO Platform. In BigBox, when you're in the Panasonic 3DO view, hit V on a keyboard and select Horizontal View. Should look like this: The Game Details screen is correct, as its based on the 3DO system menus and is not a wide screen console: All of the Nintendo Game Detail Screens are different so they all have a similar vibe, Sega also all have a different layout so they feel like 'Sega' specific. Hope that helps!

This should be resolved in Version 1.0.7 which was just released. Let me know if that resolved it for you!

Absolutely! Work has been busy so its been a bit slow for the next update, but I'm working on PC Engine, CORE, JP Master System, JP Mega Drive, etc. Just taking some time but I am working on it.

Heya! It may be an issue with how the Platform is named versus how the icon is named. I will look into getting other naming variations within the assets for the platform sprites. Does the theme work for you when you go into the platform? Or is it just the platform sprite not showing up? Thanks!

Unfortunately this is part of the audio issue I mentioned that required creating the Game Details screen or the audio wouldn’t stop playing. In the CTC there are toggles for things like mute audio or setting triggers for audio muting on videos, but it doesn’t function. And when I reached out to the author he didn’t have any ideas how to resolve it so I did my best to work around the limitations. Apparently it is possible but I’m not personally familiar with XAML, but if a fix is found in the future I’ll absolutely get it fixed and updated. Thank you very much for confirming you aren’t seeing issues with those platforms, didn’t know if something bigger was broken I needed to look into.

Just wanted to confirm that this was intentional and will be subjective. I double checked and this shouldn't be the case. Can you provide a screen shot of the issue you're having? Similar to the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer screenshot provided that shows what you're seeing. Thanks!

Gotcha, alrighty just uploaded Version 1.0.5 and that should resolve the issue. Thanks for letting me know about these things, appreciate the bug reports and feedback so I can work to resolve them.

Hmm. How do you have the platform named, 3DO Interactive Multiplayer or Panasonic 3DO? I may need to see if there's a visibility issue with the boxes, I'll check and put out a fix in the next few minutes.

Thanks! I'll have a new release out shortly with the fixes then. Also, I do realize the official is white but I decided to make it darkmode if that is acceptable (also was trying to avoid making it too exact to avoid Nintendos potential wrath)

....Is this really how you want it to look? Just making sure.

Oh this is great! Lemme see if I can address all of this! This is great! I never had GameCube Demo Disks so I wasn't aware they had them! (Discs were so small I didn't think they'd make them!) But this looks great! Would be a lot of metadata required for it to work properly, so as long as each game has the appropriate media available I should be able to put something like this together! I won't have an ETA on it or anything but I like it! Oh I actually thought the GameCube detail screen fit really well with the menu screens Nintendo made for the NES and SNES mini consoles, that was the general idea to stay with what they had but I made the background grey and added the controler buttons, etc. I'm actually happy with it for what I was going for. So I was hoping to have more control over the game details options menu to display it how I want or where or trigger it with a hotkey, but there's no way to currently do that. The menu still technically exists, and you can technically nagivate it, it's just hidden so you'd need to know what the menu options are which isn't ideal. I suppose I could make another 3DS view, it would end up like the WiiU view (nearly identical) and was trying to make each feel a little unique when it came to the respective dashboards. I know it may not seem like it, but thats actually how the 3DS game view was when the 3DS first came out; so was trying to replicate that. I did try to make a PS2 animated background for the Horizontal view, but I just couldn't get it to look good, even with completely modeling and remaking the PS2 boot animation. But at least I feel like I nailed the PS2 Demo Disk lol. Speaking of the PS2 Demo Disk! This particular PS2 Demo Disk example is a little restrictive since it doesn't really show you where you're navigating to or any other games aside from the one you're looking at. Thats a fair point on the switch games and box art. I'll look into implementing something like that in a future update for sure. Ah yes I thought I forgot one of the regional views! I'll work on that for a future release as well, and will also try to get the CoreGrafx as well. And the Super Famicom boxes I intend on fixing for the next release, either today or tomorrow cause I'm having that issue as well. Again usually looks good in the editor, doesn't when I go in BigBox for whatever reason so its difficult to troubleshoot. Thanks for all the great ideas/feedback!

Ah I see what you're saying. The boxes are only slightly stretched taller than usual for a couple reasons. The first is to make it more seamless with the wheelbox, as the wheelboxes are actually black or red based on region (shown below) and generally flow into each other. And the second is because overall I personally thought it looked better with the US and PAL boxes when they are next to each other. It was also intended to give the vertical JP boxes more room but I needed to fix that. I've not seen anything that looks overly warped or odd personally, though vertical JP box art for a game that is marked as NA or EU will be stretched because of the region. but if you have any specific examples please feel free to share. I've also adjusted the JP boxes so they show completely within the WheelBox and have it in the latest release which is available now.

Ah gotcha. Yeah some of the things are intentionally blurry as a design decision to make it low res to fit the platform/aspects of menus from the time. Purely aesthetic of course, but also going to be subjective for sure

Ah you were referencing the transition title card, not the platform view specifically. I can look into that for a future release.

Ah I see, I dunno if I have any plans to do that but I think you might be able to set that as your platform view if you have both themes downloaded. Woo! Lots of really great feedback! Lemme see if I can tackle this! So this may sound odd but I don't really have any intentions of doing computer style platforms as I just use a controller when using BigBox and the theme was created with that intention. I may look into a Famicom Disk System though not sure about Game & Watch or Pinball. I know this theme can't be everything for everyone, so apologies if that comes as a disappointment. I can look into changing it for a future release but you can also fix the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer by renaming your platform to Panasonic 3DO and keeping the scrape as 3DO Interactive Multiplayer. I can probably get a release out to support both in the next release. I have fixed this and its available in the current release. The Sega Game Gear border is low quality and pixely? Can you share an image? It doesn't look like this? Yeah the arcade view I'm not overly happy with, its something I've been thinking about though I enjoyed the Unified theme previously and this is my first theme. Not sure what I'll do for it but I'm thinking about something for the arcade stuff. I'll adjust the game description text scrolling in the next release, no problem. The default system Game Details screen should be used when using the FullScreenCoverFlow for systems that don't exist. Not sure which LaunchBox version you're on but I think the default system theme fits really well and looks great on the latest versions. Not sure I have any plans to change that as its really solid and fits the needs for my themes purpose. There are a few ways to tackle Sega CD and Sega Saturn boxes but there are different sizes for different regions. US got full size cases, EU and JP got usual jewel cases. I could change how its presented depending on the region like I do now, but this was the middle ground I decided on for the moment. If I come up with a better alternative I'll look into it for sure. The N64 boxes shouldn't be stretched and should be normal size, but I'll double check. The JP boxes I'll look into adjusting but if you have an image example of the N64 I'm curious how it looks for you. In regards to the ESRB ratings, I didn't have that considered for the themes and might be able to stick them somewhere it makes sense, but some older games just don't have ratings and when they do they should be on the box art for the most part. But I'll see if I can get that fit somewhere, not in the next update but maybe in a future one.

If you go into the themes folder, Media, then BGM, you might be able to remove all the music from there tho that might provide an error if the file doesn't exist. Let me know if that works for you, and if not I'll make a 'silent patch' with replacement files you can put in there that are silent. Edit: It also might be in Theme Specific Options? I'm not exactly sure to be honest.

Here's the current list of supported platforms with custom views, so if you see one on the list here that isn't working correctly it might be a Platform name issue, otherwise feel free to suggest a platform: Arcade Atari 2600 Atari 5200 Atari 7800 Atari Jaguar Atari Lynx Bandai Wonderswan Bandai WonderSwan Color ColecoVision Microsoft Xbox Microsoft Xbox 360 Microsoft Xbox One NEC TurboGrafx-16 NEC TurboGrafx-CD Nintendo 3DS Nintendo 64 Nintendo DS Nintendo Entertainment System Nintendo Game Boy Nintendo Game Boy Advance Nintendo Game Boy Color Nintendo GameCube Nintendo Switch Nintendo VirtualBoy Nintendo Wii 3DO Interactive Multiplayer Sega 32X Sega CD Sega Dreamcast Sega Game Gear Sega Genesis Sega Master System Sega Saturn SNK Neo Geo AES SNK Neo Geo Pocket SNK Neo Geo Pocket Color Sony Playstation Sony Playstation 2 Sony Playstation 3 Sony Playstation 4 Sony Playstation Portable Sony Playstation Vita Super Nintendo Entertainment System

No problem! Did that resolve your issue? Also I’m not sure what other platforms I’ll personally be making special views for, as currently I made views for the systems I personally use. If I expand out or there are specific requests for views I can do my best to create them. Doing the regional views was pretty difficult as I didn’t have those systems growing up so I had to ask a friend from Europe to validate hahaha. one thing I will be updating is the arcade views to put a release year and additional information as I noticed that’s not there currently. But I’ll get that updated sometime soon.
