OMG, sad to say that seem that i no more have the source code...!!! If you try to recreate it, at least you know it is possible ... My idea was to increase font wise everything. Cause on CRT like you are probably, nothing is visible like LED. I get start from an existing theme ... in case it help you Thimolor, i started my theme base on LV-101

Funny is. I abandon my old CRT cabinet. I move to lcd ... oupsss! Was to hard keeping this crt alive for many reasons. Little nostagia still ! For your question...would need me to open the code and just remove the description field. Let me check...

Hello folks, I really enjoy Bigbox and principally play MAME game from 80, 90's on my own arcade cabinet. I don't think i am alone I am looking for a kind of web site, anything where we can play weekly challenge of some game. Could be fun !

I will be a little crual here. But I'm a little , ok more then a little dessapointed about this pool. 2 reasons... 1) Majority of questions is on launchbox, not on Big Box 2) Majority of questions are more for TV players. Not for Arcade Cabinet..., yes they can be used in a cabinet, but the root context of the polls are not for cabinet people.

i was (scare) and probably knew that will be the answer. Which make some sense. Can't be agaisnt that commitment. But then...simplify the process. Coze, at the end, people will anyway download it and try it. Coze again, i have to be honest, dont be hurt personally please but that official one seem not to be move a lot. When you said broken...is a X custom theme can brok another custom theme. If not...no reason then. Would be more convenient to have a kind of display flag that said...not certified...but keep us to use the GUI. Coze i<m probably not alone to use BIGBOX in an arcade cabinet...using the GUI is way my best choice. Rather then go into windows... And BTW i personnaly build a custom theme and upload in the download section. I look what required to make this certified...I found a lot not necessary for me. I know, I know, this is where you will said...exactly, the main reason, if you dont need, maybe some need other views...which i do not agree...What i observ in certified one is this. Let say a person build a custom theme and is main reason is wall , he will do the best on the wall views...then, just to be certified, he will do minimum required on other views. At the end, this provide non egal quality on all views of the theme.

It work. And this remind me to answer that this hobby is not always easy. When friends ask me ... how easy it is to setup all this. ....eeeeeeeee easy !!! yeah! lyer!

That question is a question i never ask since 5 years but still dont catch the point. Note : I myself build a custom theme and upload in here ! So, i'm not a complete NOOB So, my question is this. When we are in BIGBOX, we have a good navigation menu where we can pick different custom theme. That's all good, no need to manually load from internet...all from the bigbox GUI. Why not all are there ? I do understand there is a FORM , and probably because some custom theme doesn't meet all the requirements. But if that reason, why make this process more easy !!! Coze from a BIGBOX user point of view, it is like nothing move since years over here...which when look into forum-download, we see a lot of movement but hein! that required more time... Please some one try to explain me !

Hello, curious also. It is a very very very mysterious aspect that highscore subject is not talk that much also. For me, wont say name but some great new front-end tool leverage absolutely the community aspect of it, including the ability to put your score ... We all love to see and try beat some other...even at 50 So, launchbox have that tools, but they do not improve it. I go last night into Gauntlet game to see the highscore, i was so surprise my name still top 3 in high score. Cause I'm really not that good. The only reason I can see, well, it is because people dont use that much. Dot! What about you ?

ohhhh! I see. I was so near. Apologize for this insistence. But that answer my question, you are right.

Hello Faeran, I may be not quit clear or something i do not catch. Here I added screenshot to show the process I do. At the end, as you can see, it create many category in the playlist and a lot too specific and have only one game. In the example it is driving - firework. When there is only one game. I actually have more then 2000's games. Would prefer a kind of split with 10 maximum category So, my point is how Launchbox has decide that XYZ game will fall into ABC category ? There is a metadata somewhere, for sure ! Maybe inside itself of the ROMS ? I'm not a pro in that section

Very very basic question. How that autopopulate split the information? Is it a core information on each mame game ? I ask this because in my case must of my 2000 games are not categorise into a Playlist. I have many category that only have 1 game after running it. I use a old but stable for me mame. Version.186

Hello everyone, I observe that some very interesting custom theme not show on the available list thru Bigbox menu. Including mine Is it because it does not meet all requirement like the fill of all wheels 1,2,3...etc ? Is there a kind of peer-review process ? Depending the complexity, i would like maybe to complete mine this year.
