    More information about "Platform Playlists - Clean & Simple Set"

    Version 1.0.0

    487 downloads

    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: 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.

    More information about "Media Pack - Commodore Amiga - DamienD Collection"

    Version 1.0.0

    561 downloads

    I was looking for a curated Commodore Amiga collection, similar to Zombeaver's C64 Dreams collection for the Commodore 64. I stumbled on DamienD's collection, and worked out a way to import it directly into LaunchBox. Unfortunately for me, the images included with the collection were not at all LaunchBox-friendly. Fortunately for YOU however, I've made it that way! These images were collected by DamienD for his curated Commodore Amiga Collection in WinUAE. All I've done is rename and sort files, then put them in the proper directory structure. The screenshots (Title Screens and Gameplay) are largely complete, he may have generated those himself. The Boxart is not complete, it's missing around 850 images. I'm not sure at this point how much the LaunchBox Database closes that gap. DamienD's Collection = 3,513 Games Coverage Box - Front = 2,659 Images Disc = 145 Images Screenshot - Game Title = 3,512 Images Screenshot - Gameplay = 3,509 Images To install this pack, simply extract the ZIP file and, with LaunchBox closed, drop the resulting "Images" folder into your LaunchBox folder. You can remove this pack at any time by going into your LaunchBox > Images > Commodore Amiga, and deleting the _DamienD folder out of "Box - Front," "Disc," "Screenshot - Game Title," and "Screenshot - Gameplay" folders (I wanted to try and keep this somewhat modular). Don't forget to refresh your media! Also, for the sake of keeping the media pack complete, no image has been removed from this offering. Any image that wasn't strictly Boxart, Disc scans, Screenshots, or other misc images have been zipped up in the "Other" file - I figured it would be best, if for no other reason than to source them as raw images to be used in other ways. I don't know if DamianD ever makes his way over here for any reason, and I don't know how to go about contacting him, but huge shoutout and many thanks for putting his collection out there. Enjoy!

    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 Logo I 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 - 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.

    Very nice work as always, @faeran! I knew I wanted this for my setup immediately once I saw it. I can't really say why this is, but the rounded corners on the boxart is such a subtle touch that makes it look so clean! Very much appreciated!

    Oh my goodness, I wish I'd have found this sooner. What a game-changer! Definitely going to play with this, thanks so much!

    Machtendo - 1080p Bezels Set ( v1.0 = 175 Bezels) - LaunchBox Community Appreciation View File 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 1080 Categories: Generic or Abstract = 6 Platforms = 129 Games\Series = 10 Games\Individual = 30 Total = 175 Credit for the original artwork: @Orionsangel - @JRPGod - @nadonate - @Kondorito - @ci2own - @harryoke Also, super appreciative of @Jason Carr for creating and maintaining LaunchBox in the first place Submitter machjas Submitted 09/19/2021 Category Platform Bezels/Overlays

    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?
