***Check out  @JoeViking245's much better plugin instead. I'm leaving this tool available in case the plugin breaks but I won't be updating the data. ***   About the tool: The tool is NOT scraping data from https://howlongtobeat.com/. It is using data that has already been scraped from the website and adding it as custom fields for your games.
 
I encourage you to visit the website and manually add the data for missing games as well as support the website by contributing to the database.

How does it work?
Just run HLTB.exe, select your Lauchbox/Data/Platforms folder and press confirm. That's it!
**MAKE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR XML FILES BEFORE RUNNING IT!!**

 
What are the included platforms?
3DI Interactive Multiplayer, Arcade, Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Atari 7800, Atari Jaguar, Atari Lynx, ColecoVision, Commodore 64, Commodore Amiga, Microsoft Xbox 360, Microsoft Xbox, MS-DOS, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 64, Nintendo DS, Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo Famicom Disk System, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, Nintendo Game Boy Color, Nintendo Game Boy, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Wii U, Nintendo Wii, Sega Dreamcast, Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn, Sony Playstation 2, Sony Playstation 3, Sony Playstation, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Windows
 
Will you update the data/add more platforms?
I don't plan on it. At least not on a regular schedule.
 
How do I show that data on BigBox?
You can create your own theme or make changes to existing themes using the Community Theme Creator. I'm pretty bad at designing themes so I don't plan on releasing one but I'd be interested if someone wants to create a theme that takes advantage of the HLTB data.
**UPDATE** 
I lied and made a theme for it. Here it is. 

 
 

About the Tool
It finds the top 100 games that are not already in your collection by scraping the XML files in your Data/Platforms folder and comparing it to the Launchbox database
 
How to use it
Select your Data/Platforms folder. The tool will look stuck for a couple of seconds (about 10-15 for me) but a message will pop up to confirm if it was successful.

 
So what's the point?
It outputs a .xlsx file containing the top 100 games that are missing from your library. It is meant to be used to find games to add to your library. The weighted score is score from 0-5 given to every game based on the user rating and the number of user votes.

 
I still plan to work on it a bit and I'd love some feedback if it's something you'd be interested in using! I mainly use it as a little project to teach myself coding
I know the size is a bit ridiculous for what it does, i'm trying to make it a bit lighter

Here's a pack of 1097 songs for arcade games. I named the files according to the Launchbox database.
I might add more songs eventually.

I started creating 3D boxes for windows games that had none. The goal is not to create a consistent style for all games but to fill in the gaps left by other contributors (That are way better at this than me).
Thanks to @Robin55 for the action file and the steam box header I used.
 
I will be updating this pack frequently.

Here's a pack of 1150 songs for Nintendo Wii games. I named the files according to the Launchbox database.
I might add more songs eventually.

Here's a pack of 560 songs for Windows games. I named the files according to the Launchbox database.
I might add more songs eventually.
