I didn't realize it's been two years since this was published, but here is the latest video from ETA Prime:

I've noticed the same result - you have to wait for the info to populate before you CTRL+e the game.

Is this what you were looking for? Just Google these words in order, the results will be either of the first two hits pleasure dome GitHub io

I personally don't like the new platform icons, I think they look cheap. I know we play retro games but I don't think the UI should also be retro (c. 1995 Internet webpages where everything needed to be an icon or gif). ETA Prime mentioned that they can be disabled but never showed how, could someone point me to the setting please?

That's truly subjective. Good place to start is the downloads section - you can sort the forum postings by recently updated or most viewed, however, if you do that you'll really miss out on some super-creative themes. Honestly, I suggest just downloading any that seem remotely interesting and test them out one by one.

Any chance I may get a version of this in daylight, without the scratches, and without the background reflections, please?

13.2-beta4 Audit tool: Clicking on the Box Spine Images header does not properly numerically sort the list, what I see is the list just jumble each time it's pressed.

I really appreciate how powerful the Auditing Tool can be. I have a few suggestions. (more of a LB suggestion) Now that Spine images are used in the 3D image creation, I feel that the Spine image should be promoted from 'Unassigned Images' to its own group like 'Box - Front' and 'Clear Logo' are listed with all the image choices (talking about the game editor window). This then brings me to request #1 - In the Auditing Tool would you please add Spine Image to the list so that we may audit our games for missing spine images. In the Audit Tool I am trying to audit a category of images 'Box - Front' for example but I see 2-3 or even 6 images listed. Turns out the auditor is listing any image that is set in my Box - Front priority list - example: In my box front priority list I have Box Front/Box Front Reconstructed/Fan Art Box Front/Clear Logo. Showing all these images doesn't really help - Clear Logo for example, it's not a box image but I have it selected as a fall-back just in case. Yes, I'm aware I can just turn off these other image types and re-run the auditor but that's quite cumbersome. It would be nice if the Audit Tool got an overhaul to add preferences/options. It needs its own options/preferences menu to override the LB settings. This would allow the user to not display certain image types within a category like Box Front. There could also be quick options to show/hide columns to customize their window view. All image types should be listed as columns to provide granular auditing. (i.e. Box Front Reconstructed, Fan Art Box Front, etc) Thanks for hearing me out.

Sorry. That's not the video you were looking for. The exact one you linked is called Big Box Cinematix - Arcade Classics v1 and can be directly downloaded from within LaunchBox. Go to Tools>Download>Platform/Playlist/Category theme videos In the window you will simply check the box next to Arcade and then make sure the Big Box Cinematix - Arcade Classics is selected. You can even preview it with the button on the right. Then select OK to start the download and have it applied to your platform. Step-by-step:

Right-click the platform - Edit. At the bottom is Sort Title. This is where you would put your sorting name. You can use anything that would provide a hierarchy, you could use 01-01, 01-02, 01-03, 02-01, 02-02, etc.

Google "pleasuredome git". Click MAME. Scroll down to the MAME Full Sets section. Click the "MAME 0.246 ROMs (non-merged)" link. Copy the magnet link and use a torrent client to download the files. You could either download the whole set or you could pick the individual files to be downloaded. [There are scripts on this forum which you can use to extract the most popular games from the non-merged set so that you save room and don't have a bunch of redundant and garbage games.] The way a non-merged set works is that each game zip has all the required files needed to make it work and it can exist on its own outside of the entire set. This also makes the set significantly larger than the other sets that contain shared files between the zips, but as long as you only keep 500 games, for example, of the ?3,200? games in the set then you will actually save space.

Launchbox / Bigbox Causing Windows 11 to Shutdown...
Knowcontrol replied to MuddyWaters79's topic in Troubleshooting
Whenever I hear about frequent, unexplained shutdowns I immediately think of GPU driver issues. I also think about a Windows installation where it has been running for a few years with many different pieces of software installed that have somehow modified or affected the underlying Windows file system. My suggestion is to completely wipe Windows with a 100% fresh install. In the above examples, I don't think a simple GPU driver reinstallation will be sufficient. I would also go as far as installing LaunchBox from scratch and importing my database and ROMs rather than just copying the folder back to the fresh drive. -

I'm very sorry, I glossed over your question and assumed the question without actually reading! -

How to Build a Big Box Theme - The Theme Workshop https://youtu.be/ZuYHeBaWUPI -
Thanks to @tycho for their game controls and the master files! I've begun a personal endeavor to make game controls for games in my top lists. With the provided master files, as a test, I started with F-Zero for the SNES. I've attached the edited Illustrator file as well as the pause screen image that will go in \Launchbox\Images\Game Controls\Super Nintendo Entertainment System\10779.jpg I've decided to use the LB database ID for maximum compatibility with @Retro808's Games Controls FS Pause Screen. The text descriptions will be taken directly from the game's manual and I'll use fanart backgrounds and clear logos which have been downloaded from LB's database - all of these assets will be exported in Illustrator as a 3840px image (4K). I'll post more game controls as I make them and will combine them as zipped files for ease of downloading. 10779.zip
