So the first game in my list is "1941", and when BB loads, by default, it has that game highlighted. However, it doesn't play the video snap for 1941, it plays a random snap (different every time). If I move a spot to the right and highlight 1942, it will play the snap for 1942, then if I move back, it will play the snap for 1941. If I leave it on 1941, it will reliably go into attract mode as expected. It's not a huge deal, but it's weird. Any ideas?

I have an emumovies account, but just the free one. I didn't know I could download from them directly, thanks!

I have LB /BB set up and working well. I have a short list (under 100) of games, all MAME. I've made sure all games are correctly identified by their Launchbox DB number. I have gameplay/screenshots/clear logos working just fine. But for some weird reason, only a handful of my games have theme videos showing in BB. Dkong, SF2, MK3, X-men, TMNT: Turtles in Time, Ghouls N Ghosts, maybe a couple others. The rest are just straight up not downloading anything, if I highlight a game like Tempest in LB and only select to download BB Cinematix videos, it doesn't download anything. What am I doing wrong?

Cool idea about the bezel, once I get everything working I'll play around with that. Thanks again!!

To clarify, I have a couple game videos downloaded and working in the menu, I'm just downloading the rest.

I got it sorted out, luckily BigBox is already automagically falling back to a screenshot in that space. I am now trying to get all my game videos downloaded and working! Thanks again for all your help, it's going to be great!

WOW Awesome!, I'll download it now and check it out. Thanks!!!

This is just the game selection screen, there won't be any video. Just a screenshot is totally fine in the center.

That's great!! If you wanted to go even simpler, maybe something like this?

Thanks, I appreciate it. I actually started playing around with the Community Theme Builder but I wasn't able to get it to do what I want. Ideally I'd just have a wheel with clear logos and maybe a screenshot on the side? A plain black background is totally fine. Attached is a generic template of how my screen will be laid out and where the "cutoff" will be. Everything above the cutoff will be viewable, so you don't need to stay in side the "screen area". Super appreciate all your work!!

This is awesome! I have a silly question - I have a portrait-oriented TV in my cab but the lower quarter is hidden below the control panel (see attached, the green is the TV and the blue line is the visible portion. I have custom bezel art that I created and .lay files for each game in MAME, but I'm getting around now to configuring Bigbox and I'm using a vertical theme but I don't know how to modify it to only use the right 75% of the screen (roughly). Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm comfortable with XML although I haven't started messing around with BB Themes yet.
