But it remains a "problem" to fix in the options of BigBox, not in the theme. ?

Cool, I'll put a post on the main forum. Thanks for following up!

That's likely the Game Details screen. If you want to bypass that go to BB Options > General and check the box for Skip Game Details.

Yeah I already have this off.  Still show the "add to" playlist function when I hit the button mapped to select on a game. 

For now, I mapped the "A" button on the NES controller to the select button.  I mapped the "Start" button on the NES controller to the play button.

But testing this with friends, they clearly want to just press "A" to start the game.  I'd like "A" to do everything, but when I map it to both, it defaults to the "add to" playlist (not actually booting the game)

God I hope that makes sense.  Painful to write. lol

This might be a dumb question, but is there a way to remove the playlist function?  Using this as an NES / Gameboy only setup, and I want the A button to select the platform and select the game.  But when I assign the A button to "select" & "play" in the settings, it prompts the "Add to" from the games list.

I've actually been working secretly on a major update to this theme. It will include 2 extra platform views, changes to existing game views, and a bunch of new game views, including the Famicom Disk System. Here's a sneak peak of the disk system theme.

@faeran  You are a scholar, and a saint.  Thank you for all that you do.

Hi @ProstatePunch. Custom themes are hard coded. To remove clear logos, you would have to go into each platform specific xaml file and remove the code for them.

If you would like to use the NES view with the description, I left that view file in the following location:

Launchbox\Themes\CoverBox\Views\TextGamesView\Alternate\Nintendo Entertainment System.xaml

paste it here:

Launchbox\Themes\CoverBox\Views\TextGamesView\Nintendo Entertainment System.xaml

This worked awesome!  Love that we have the choice of that, and it looks great.  Thank you!

Thanks @GiuseppeIII. @CDBlue is correct. Just need to make a copy and rename the files within those 2 directories.

I will do this for the next official release, for these 2 platforms. Let me know if any other's can be added like this as well.

 

Can I request an official Famicom Disk System Theme?  I know I just copy over the NES theme, but its seems like there's plenty of stuff out there for a Famicom Version, so I'd probably just use that if there was one.  Have you poked into it at all @faeran?

Hey, sorry if I missed this somewhere (I'm still very new to BigBox) but is there a way to remove the clear logos on your theme?

Also, is there a way to enable the game text description like on your YouTube Demo video (specifically the NES one) as it switches about halfway though.
