Zelda Ultima Stand Alone Big Box View File 🗡️ Zelda Ultima is finally making its debut on the forum! This is the oldest of my Ultima Editions, and the one that best captures the spirit of the entire project. It’s been locked away for three years, and I finally offered it to the staff so it could be shared with the community! I’m making a real effort to open things up a bit more — It’s time people finally discover the work I’ve poured into this. But I count on you to keep it clean, respectful, and above all... magical ✨ 🎭 This project must not end up as a messy torrent after all these years of work. We’re here to celebrate a passion, not to trash it. 🧰 What’s the Ultima format? A fully standalone, all-in-one experience that immerses you in a single legendary universe—crafted with a level of detail and customization rarely seen. It’s a digital collector’s dream, a tribute to iconic franchises like Zelda, Castlevania, Final Fantasy. Imagine the ultimate fan-made box set—beautifully designed, completely free, and overflowing with nostalgic passion. The goal behind the Ultima Editions is to bring digital games closer to the richness and charm of physical collections, which are becoming harder and harder to access (too rare, too expensive). So I pack in as many bonuses as possible: artwork, music, cinematic intros, hidden content… Each project, like Zelda Ultima, is built as a fully immersive collector’s experience. 🎁 What’s waiting for you inside? 🎨 A solid forty game themes, each evolving alongside my craft — polished, reworked, and bursting with character. 45 icons dedicated: 🖥️ 12 unique views — every slot filled, fully loaded, and ready to explore. A pause menu ( with the world map )a shutdown and of course a start theme! 📖 Strategy Guides & Encyclopedia Section More than just help… these are true collector's gems. (Not included in the forum version to avoid legal issues.) Most guides and encyclopedias have been converted into interactive flipbooks with animated backgrounds for maximum immersion. (One classic guide — A Link to the Past — is included by default so you can test the format.) 🎮 Fan-Made Remakes 5 playable demos of Ocarina of Time remade in Unreal Engine 4 & 5. Eye candy meets nostalgia. 🎧 Hey Listen! A curated selection of iconic Zelda tracks and fan-made covers. Turn it up — Hyrule never sounded this good. 🔍The Time Line in 3 part 🏛️ Temple of Time Explore the Temple of Time in real time, available in both VR and desktop mode. Atmosphere guaranteed . 🗡️ Art of Artifact Rediscover the saga’s most legendary items, reimagined and rendered with love. Master Sword chills included. 🎬 Short Films A handpicked selection of Zelda-inspired fan films. Some of them will absolutely give you goosebumps. ❤️ Another Pad Universes Explore the Trailers and Showcase sections for even more immersive ! Before you launch anything: Make sure your license is integrated (mandatory) Install the HEVC codecs to avoid black screens Install ALL the fonts — seriously, all of them — or some views might look totally broken You can launch in big box mode, (don't hesitate to do a little by the refresh box and caching in the system) 🛡️Credits: The Dream Team Here’s a quick spotlight on some of the amazing people who’ve helped shape this journey: 🎼 Sam Dillard on music — because you don’t save Hyrule without a soundtrack that gives you chills. 🎨 @Bellhenge created most of the icons (which I lovingly upscaled, pixel by pixel). 🎮 CryZenXX has been following the project closely and definitely deserves a shrine in the fan-made section for his Ocarina of Time Unreal Engine demos. 👑 Henricko’s Magnifico — I even crafted special icons and themes to showcase his breathtaking 4K patches! And of course, all the amazing contributors over the years — I’ve got a special thank-you video just for you. 💖 You’ve helped shape this dream, one sprite at a time. A massive thank-you to @y2guru, the Architect of the Community creator— Without him, none of this would have been possible. A like, a share, maybe a virtual coffee? Even Mario wouldn’t have saved the princess without a little help 🍄👑🎮 If you enjoy what I do, help me take it even further. ❤️‍🔥 Every bit of support is one more heart in the life bar. 👉 Patreon, a share, a kind word... it all makes a difference! ==https://www.patreon.com/c/padcinematic_prod Submitter PadeMoNiuM Prods Submitted 05/19/2025 Category Custom Themes  

Teaser for the trailer ...😅 And...for the Public Release !

I have reproduced almost all the historical native interfaces: ps4, ps3, ps2 wii, wii half of the existing "minis" views, 3ds switch, xbox box 360 it is perhaps the machine where I have gone the least far in terms of view but I think that in the end I will add some for the needs of my main theme if anyone wants advice or even assets: pm!

If you're doing it with the intention of sharing it with the community, I'll let you decide whether you want to give something in return or not. Let's stay in touch Thanks for the quick reply! ***No in france

This is totally in my wheelhouse — nothing technically overwhelming here, especially since I’ve already gone way beyond that kind of challenge. Funny thing, it actually reminded me that I once started adapting a project for someone… and in the end, they completely changed direction and switched to an entirely different universe 😄 I’ve already reproduced tons of official publisher collections, down to the smallest detail. I’ve also created brand new ones — and to be honest, I might’ve gone even further than the publishers themselves, lol. I’ve recreated the native interfaces of pretty much every major console, made custom “mini” views, and even developed a standalone “collection” format using the CTC (I’ve done five of those so far). Yeah, I know — sounds a bit like I just dropped my retro-gaming superhero résumé here 😄 But hey, I always worry about sounding arrogant, yet I’m not going to hide it either. It’s that little spark of creative madness :the drive to push the walls where others just stick posters. That’s the love of the craft right there. I adapt, I create, I have fun and it shows. Passion, attention to detail, and the desire to make every pixel shine. Right now, I’m in “well-deserved break before the next boss fight” mode — just wrapped up a big one. Now, it depends on how urgent this is for you, because I promised Exxodus I’d help with his project first. in a free frame here but if you decide to share I don't see why I would make you pay I don't know, we'll have to see, it depends on the amount of work I imagine, I haven't evaluated yet. But realistically, this could be done before the end of the year. I’d probably need less than a month for it, honestly. Either way — if you’ve already found someone, that’s great too 🙂 Catch you soon, and thanks again! II have a post here that summarizes a bit of my work:

Power of mood ! 😛

Hey everyone! I've been thinking for a while about creating animated wallpapers for LaunchBox themes, but I’m hitting a roadblock—I can’t seem to make the background completely transparent. Even after disabling colorization and turning off all the fixed background options, there’s still some kind of color showing... Is there any way to make it fully transparent so it blends right into my desktop wallpaper? If that’s possible, it could open the door to all sorts of crazy creations! Sure, it might eat up a bit of resources, but for those who can handle it, it would be seriously awesome. Thanks in advance for your help!

@gibbagabbagoondeed! An updated version of this theme would be sweet. Cheers, my friend! Yep I always told myself that unconsciously I had taken a bit of City Hunter in the beginning of a production which was called Cyber Runner: I never finished it but really want to try as soon as I have a moment! some screens:

I've used it for a long time, and it's also simple and highly customizable! The source files (ctc) aren't available, but if you're a bit familiar with HTML, it shouldn't be a problem! But it's clearly the custom theme on big box that made me want to do some customization. I could redo the view in question in a short time, but I'd have to redo the entire theme (perhaps an alternative version one day): I'd love to Glad to have been of some help to you!

A dedicated collection among the 50 in Nostalgic Bedroom! It's dense, generous, and you can feel the passion (and the fanboy ^^). 12 views (the maximum), around twenty gamer themes, 3 launch intros to choose from, a launch theme for games (not shown in the video), plus a "pause" theme and a "shutdown" theme. Once again, all the media, from icons to backgrounds, is homemade! Needless to say, it's pretty epic... My standalone port to NB looks like this: 11 views that will make your little fan hearts resonate with cult melodies that will make your hair stand on end! Views in all styles with lots of variations and effects straight out of the bowels of the cemetery! You'll have a hard time launching a game: I'm telling you!! ^^ and the sonic Collection ! 11 views !

Ah, City Hunter! Nostalgia! very good theme ! clear arcade logo too (that is, your main arcade wheel! It looks great when it's a neon-like logo, but it's less suitable when it's a silver hyperpin-like one! In any case, I think you'll find it in the image platform categories =arcade==clear logo

I'll allow myself to answer as I use the ctc almost every day ^^ Hello Rob You can do almost anything with the ctc now for a year y2guru has added shaders for screen positioning and you can use them to deform the wheels! Today we are at the video wheel and in gif so the positioning of the wheels that you wanted is quite easy to reproduce .

The backgrounds are defined by default in the folder of the same name, you have to use the metadata so that it makes a match, it will go and look for them either by known platform name or by metadata. If you can't find the folder or background in the drop-down list, it could be a refresh, at worst you cheat and put the backgrounds in a folder that it finds and that you are sure you will never use (for example, it only finds the banner folder but not background = put everything in banner) And you don't feel guilty! The source files, if they are made available, are precisely to help you shape your interfaces as you wish! So you didn't steal, you copied
