Hey, stibbons!
Just curious if you were ever able to find a solution for this. I'm struggling to import no-intro roms in a way that keeps LB clean and organized without splitting the files up and losing the ability to use RomVault to keep things updated.
Thanks in advance!

Steam Deck - Misc Clear Logos, Icons
View File
I created a few clear logos featuring the Steam Deck!
The intention is to use these for playlists or platforms, like "Steam Deck Verified" as an example. There are black and white variants for use with light or dark themes.
I also included two .ICO files to use in Windows, the reason being that I now have a scaled down LB/BB build that lives on my Steam Deck, and my primary portable build that's much larger on an external drive that's accessible when the Deck is docked. I wanted to create icons to further differentiate them on my start screen.

Collections Playlist Categories (Clear Logo)

# What is it?
Clear Logos I created for myself to use with my Playlists categories
I modified a music playlist icon and created custom icons for each - the font is based on the Famicom Disk System logo.
It's simple, uniform, fairly minimalistic, and to the point. I'll likely end up creating more as I work my way through my structure, so if you dig it, keep an eye out!

Arcade Platforms Default Media (Box - Front)
View File
# What is it?
This is a pack of 2D boxes intended to be used as Default media in LB/BB. I wanted to create something that would be cohesive with the Arcade box art currently available by default from the LB Media Downloader.
# Credit & Thanks
This pack is based on work by @Robin55 that I believe was later redone by @Mr. RetroLust - Thank you both for your contributions to LB!
Art assets provided to the community by @viking, @Cnells2000 and @Antny were also used - Thanks!WIP feedback provided by @X1pheR and @UKPenguins - much appreciated!
# Arcade Machines
The initial release of this pack covers 29 unique platforms (listed below). I may add more in the future if I happen to come across more high quality cabinet images.

PC - Microsoft Operating Systems - Uniform Matte Finish (Box - Front)
View File
Bonus!
We've all grown up playing on computers with whatever OS was available at the time (for better or worse), so people may gravitate to using different things with their their own LB configurations, or maybe you associate a certain subset of games with a specific OS and have different Platforms configured based on that, regardless of what you're running now.
With this in mind, I thought it would be cool to have some options for default media to use in conjunction with the other Uniform Matte Plastic set I created.
Here, you'll find all the greatest hits!
- MS-DOS
- Windows 3.1
- Windows 95
- Windows 98SE
- Windows 2000
- Windows ME
- Windows XP Home & Pro
- Windows Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Business & Ultimate
- Windows 7 Home, Pro & Ultimate
- Windows 10 Home & Pro
Enjoy! Also be sure to check out the other set: PC Games - 1500+ Titles - Uniform Matte Plastic (Box - Front)

Platform Playlists - Clean & Simple Set
View File
By far my largest contribution to date..
This set of Clear Logos was designed to work in conjunction with Dan Patrick's Platform Logos (found here), using a subset of these logos, and a font matching (or at least super close to) what he used in his own Playlist images. The intention was to stay simple and keep it consistent above all else.
This collection is available in 3 Styles:
Dark - Best used with Light Themes
Light - Best used with Dark Themes
Outline - Designed to read well regardless of Light or Dark theming.The Playlists available for each Platform are:
Official Releases - Games released during the lifespan of the platform
Aftermarket Releases - Games released after the platform's lifecycle (homebrew, indie releases, etc)
Favorites - For games marked as favorites
Translations - Translated games
Unreleased Games - Games developed and intended to be released during a platform's lifecycle, but no official release
Hacked Games - Hacked games!Finally, there are currently 73 Platforms covered in each set:
Spoiler- Apple II

Massive thanks to @Dan Patrick in all sincerity, for the countless hours he put in on these logos to begin with.
I also wanted to thank @faeran - Even though we've never had any direct communication (that I'm aware of, at least), I learned a lot about theming and media by reading his posts and watching his theming videos on YouTube.
Enjoy! I hope the community can make use of this, and I'm always open to suggestions, ideas and any way I can improve my work.

Machtendo - Platform Categories
View File
I created some Platform Category Clear Logos!
I had been using a set created by @knewlife which I really liked (found here). I just ran into a problem with the images scaling quite like I'd like to see. I decided to go ahead and recreate a couple of my favorites from scratch for a refresh, and riffed on his original idea with the others. These all started as 4K images @ 600 ppi and trimmed down from there.
Arcade = Capcom Logo (recreation)
Computers = IBM Logo (recreation)
Consoles = PlayStation Logo
Handhelds = Gameboy Logo
Pinball = Williams LogoI made sure to use colors pulled from what I consider the definitive collection of logos created by @Dan Patrick where I could.
I also made variations with white and black outlines with a couple of different line weights to accommodate light or dark themes.

Machtendo - Default Boxes - Windows 10 Pro/Home

Hey, all!
I figured it was time for new default boxes for Windows. I went with Windows 10, based on official Microsoft packaging/marketing, and I included options for both Home and Pro versions. You'll find both 2D and 3D boxes here. Enjoy!

Machtendo - Clear Logos - Platform Subcategories & Playlists
View File
Hello, all!
I recently decided to overhaul my Launchbox setup, and rework it to incorporate Aftermarket Releases in a way the makes more sense.
I decided on two primary categories - Official Releases and Aftermarket Releases: Official Releases are pretty much what you would expect. Aftermarket Releases then goes on to Hacked Games, Original Games, Translations, and Unreleased Games - I wrote up descriptions to accompany each subcategory (also included in txt files). I included a screenshot of my Platform Categories to help make sense of it.
Once I decided on that, I set out to find Clear Logos to match, and either struck out, or what I'd seen wasn't fitting with the rest of my system, so I decided to make my own cohesive set that also included your standard Favorites, Collections and Playlists
These clear logos and descriptions are meant to be platform agnostic so that I could use them for every platform in my collection that has these aftermarket releases.

Machtendo - Bezels Set ( v1.0 = 175 Bezels) - LaunchBox Community Appreciation
Hello, all!
I was inspired by the work of a few users here in the community to teach myself how to use Photoshop and I wanted to create my own unique set of bezels. I taught myself just enough Photoshop to accomplish what I'd hoped to accomplish.
I made these for myself because I loved so many of the different styles and sets I'd seen on here, which varied widely - but I wanted a more uniformed set that I felt would work well with Viking's Colorful (Dark) Theme. I decided that I'd go ahead and post them here, to express my gratitude for all the hard work everyone has put in to make LaunchBox what it is.
Since I am interested to learn more Photoshop, I think I'm going to continue experimenting with these. If the community seems to like them, I'll post an update every so often. If anyone has any feedback or tips, I'm always willing to learn!
Resolution:
1920 x 1080Categories:
Generic or Abstract = 6
Platforms = 129
Games\Series = 10
Games\Individual = 30
Total = 175Credit for the original artwork:

Hey @Zombeaver I just wanted to drop in and thank you for all the hard work you've put into making these games playable and bringing some obscure stuff to my attention - I just started using Launchbox a few months ago, I saw some of the artwork you've uploaded, and in trying to find some of your other artwork, I stumbled across your website, which in turn has led me down a lot of rabbit holes.
The countless hours you've put in certainly have not gone unappreciated, thank you!

Silver Ring - Clear Logo - Homebrew
View File
Created using the Silver Ring template made available by @viking
I use "Homebrew" as a platform category in Launchbox to encompass OpenBOR, MUGEN, as well as mods, hacks and fan-made content for other consoles. I spent hours looking, but could not, for the life of me, find a silver ring clear logo that just said "Homebrew" so I made one! I created this using the logo for the Wii's "The Homebrew Channel" as a nod to my first console softmod back in the day.
I hope someone finds this handy!

Hi all!
I know this is an old thread, but I read through it today as I was having a very similar issue to the OP using RetroArch/FBNeo with Launchbox v11.11 - I tried switching between the universal and the original neogeo BIOS, tried putting neogeo.zip in the rom folder, the RetroArch system folder, etc.. I would go into retroarch directly, load the core and check info, it could see thee BIOS file, so I'd do Load Content, browse to a game directly and it would work fine, just not when I go through LaunchBox.
My solution ended up being under Manage Emulators > RetroArch, and UNCHECKING the "Extract ROM Archives Before Running" and it works perfectly through LaunchBox
I just hope that, since that option is a universal RetroArch setting (I think?), that it doesn't break any of my other systems that might require that option. If this ends up being the case, is there a workaround, or do you think I would need to use a standalone FBNeo or a separate RetroArch instance solely for FBNeo so I can leave this unchecked?
Machtendo No-Intro ROM Parse

Machtendo No-Intro ROM Parse
View FileWhat's this?
This is a Windows Powershell script you can use to sort any No-Intro romset into a consistent and intuitive structure. The goal is to sort and organize ROM files by region, release type and revision.
This script creates a directory structure to accommodate for all the various release types and flags found in a No-Intro set, which is then replicated to folders for the four major release regions, then sorted appropriately.
By default, this script creates full sets for each region - for example, (World) releases are actually COPIED to every major region - I wanted to avoid regional biases where I could so that if someone wanted a full Japanese set or a European set, you only need run the script and grab the contents of the corresponding folder. You can disable this by commenting or removing the "Regional Bias" section of the script.
Only available as a Windows Powershell script, not compatible with Linux or macOS currently.
Why's this?
In order to simplify compatibility with various frontends, to satisfy my own preferences, and possibly the preferences of others. A few use-cases can be found below.
Instructions
Simply copy this script file into the folder containing your rom files, and double click to run it.
That's it!
If you happen to receive an error saying something along the lines of "Running Scripts is Disabled on this System" you can open the folder in Terminal or PowerShell and run the script with the following command. I'll defer to this article if you would like more information.
Logic & Structure
How have these files been sorted, and why?
BIOS Files
BIOS files are first moved into a _BIOS folder prior to any sorting functionality. This is so that any available version is immediately and easily accessible for use with an emulator if needed.
Regions
I'm going by the three historically major release regions, with a fourth "Other" region to cover the other minor release regions.
No-Intro Flags
The file structure for the No-Intro flags is replicated to the four regional folders described above.
