Nearly 50 consoles and an average of at least 5 views for each platform (the most popular platforms have complete views, so count 12!) The 5 standalone games merged (without the interfaces) / 50 dedicated collections, EACH WITH almost complete view locations too... Details and variations everywhere! Not to mention the Easter eggs! Mini-view/history native views for all remade consoles... (PS4/PS3/Wii/WiiU/XBOX/360/Switch) I merged with my office chair for 2 months, but what a joy to have it (almost) finished! ROUND icon / menu / intro playlist / game theme 90% entirely homemade! Integrated VR + interactive video club Emuvr integrated Pfiouuuu Oh, I forgot one detail... Absolutely all the backgrounds are hand-animated... NOTHING STILL! Screenshot!!!

Look my content share here maybe you'll find what you're looking for for the Atari 2600 more precisely here:( I revisited some of James's themes)

Big box Cinematix It's him

IN launchhbox does == tools === download == the platform playlist == at the very bottom you can choose classified by author (James is still present) be careful it is not at all up to date! (I say this especially for me because it was my very first video in 2017 ...)

Thanks for your answers @rétrojoshvc Overall, I think that highlighting creators raises the overall level. It motivates talent to excel, it inspires new vocations, and above all, it respects creative effort. And believe me, when we do that, quality skyrockets, projects explode with creativity, and everyone wins – including users. I'm giving you the links again in case you missed them! @rétrojoshvc You can also add yours to complete if you want. Unity is strength Because it's your post too lol! ^^

The question is interesting, but it's more akin to a technical challenge or compulsive completionist syndrome!" Let's be honest: you all know that one lifetime will never be enough to play through all these games. We're no longer really in a collecting mindset, but rather in a sort of quest for self-satisfaction, even a frantic accumulation. Because a real collection—whether physical or digital—is something to be browsed, admired, returned to, and taken the time to get a little lost in it. Worse: it's not even certain you'll reopen this collection once it's completed... Let's be honest: between us, the goal isn't really to play all these games anymore, is it? We're talking about thousands of titles piled up in a corner of a hard drive, carefully sorted, carefully categorized... and never launched. We click, we download, we mentally check a box: "This one's good, I've got it. Next one!" But at what point did we start confusing collecting with compulsion? And the worst part? The more we have, the less we play. Because we don't even know where to start anymore. Because quantity kills desire. Because pleasure has been lost in the labyrinth of "having it all." A real collection, whether physical or digital, is something you experience. You contemplate it. You browse it, a bit like an old library. You open a box, you remember a theme song, a cover, a startup sound... You stop, you explore. You feel something. What we're seeing more and more are folders filled to the brim with gems... that we haven't even taken the time to look at once. Games that are sleeping in a corner of the frontend, like books we've never opened but are showing off in the window for show. What if we got back to basics? A console, a few games, a video theme that immediately sets the mood. It's not the quantity that matters. It's the story you tell with your collection. The one you tell yourself. So yeah, install your games. But above all: experience them. Admire them. Rediscover them. Because a frontend, a collection, isn't an Excel spreadsheet. It's a living work of art. And you are its guardian.

"Hey guys, I'm taking the liberty of leaving a little note. Great work @retrojoshvc you really know you're a Highlander, you know: we don't have much practice left ^^! It's nice to see motivated people taking over. Because in reality, only 4/5 of us on the scene create video themes—we can almost count ourselves on the fingers of one hand. For my part, I've been doing it for 15 years, and I can tell you that, whatever anyone says, a little feedback or encouragement under a creation is hugely motivating. The thing is, these days, we see very few likes or comments. It's not that we're looking for medals, but when you spend 4 or 5 hours on a theme, and you see 1,100 downloads... for only 2 likes, frankly, it stings a little. Think about it: a little note, a like, a bit of feedback—it costs nothing, but for us, it changes everything. The power of atmosphere in intro videos is too often underestimated. Some captivate from the first second, conveying the heritage, identity, and emotion of a game. Some will say, "30 seconds is enough," others, "3 minutes is too long." But really? There are no rules. What matters is the emotion. A good set of videos can literally transform an entire system. These aren't just additions—they're the guardians of our gaming culture. They create an atmosphere, they prepare for adventure, they pay homage. A well-thought-out intro video is an emotional gateway, a reminder of what makes each game unique. Some players settle for simple gameplay videos. Aside from the practical aspect (and the space-saving aspect, okay 😅), they often feel cold and impersonal. A default interface, without gimmicks, without nostalgia, without memories… it simply doesn't do justice to the richness of our video game heritage. Atmospheric intros, carefully crafted videos, they bring a real emotional dimension. They awaken memories, they create a connection, they remind us why we fell in love with these games. Ultimately, an intro video doesn't just show off a game. It tells a story. It invites you on a journey. That's what makes all the difference. That's what makes the experience magical. And if you're ever looking for a specific theme, don't hesitate to ask me—even in English. Proof of concept :

You're not alone in experiencing this difficult transition from Hyperspin HS1.5/HS2 to LaunchBox, especially when RocketLauncher is at the heart of your setup.::) Many enthusiasts are stuck between aging systems and modern frontends... and wanting the best of both worlds (LaunchBox + RocketLauncher with artwork, pause menus, screen fades) is a perfectly legitimate quest! Since a Windows update, HS1.5 has become unstable and even unusable. HS2 is shaky and poorly maintained. You want to switch to LaunchBox, but: RocketLauncher can no longer retrieve media correctly. From what I understand, you want to keep and Use RocketLauncher for its advanced features (pause menus, fade-in/out, bezels, etc.) and stay on a stable, sustainable, and flexible system. To do this, you can: Centralize the media in a single temporary folder Create a script that, each time a game is launched: Searches for the correct media (Clear Logo, Box, etc.) Temporarily copies them to a central folder that RocketLauncher reads Then deletes them after use Example: a batch or AHK that synchronizes images before launch Currently: There is no packaged or ready-to-use solution that completely fixes this issue. Several users have shared custom AHK scripts, but they are often abandoned or specific to their configurations. Otherwise, you can recreate the following features: Fade-in/out with custom intro videos Pause menus with tools like Pause Theme in BigBox Bezel & overlays directly with RetroArch or MAME. But be careful: it's not yet as powerful or customizable as RocketLauncher. Hence the interest in keeping RL if you've invested heavily in it. Clearly, you're at a pivotal stage: the old tools are falling apart, the new ones aren't everything. But it's entirely possible to create a solid bridge between LaunchBox and RocketLauncher with a little AHK ingenuity and common sense. I hope this helps (a little) - excuse me for the block.

Excellent question, and you're clearly ahead of the curve.:) Currently: No LaunchBox doesn't natively support scraping from CUSA code. Instead, it relies on filenames, detected titles, CRC/hash, or "readable" folder names to identify a game. Someone should create a plugin.

Hi ! You've highlighted a well-known limitation of LaunchBox: currently, the automatic playlist creation tool doesn't allow "Platform Category" to be used as a filter. This field is visible in the platform metadata, but it isn't exposed in the dynamic playlist filter system. This means that sub-platforms like "Capcom 1", "Capcom 2", etc., aren't included in a playlist filtering on Platform = Arcade. What you're proposing (and which would make sense): <PlaylistFilter> <Value>Arcade</Value> <FieldKey>Platform Category</FieldKey> <ComparisonTypeKey>EqualTo</ComparisonTypeKey> </PlaylistFilter> ... would be a perfect solution if only LaunchBox knew what to do with Platform Category in this context. The problem is that this field is not (yet?) supported in playlist XML. In summary: Good idea. Not yet natively possible in LaunchBox. But workarounds are possible, but manual. You could submit this suggestion to Jason Carr (the creator of LaunchBox) via the forums or the official Discord. It's a perfectly legitimate request, especially if you're working with complex setups like yours.

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! Start = Shutdown= Pause Themes(note that in your version the world map appears in pause mode) 📖 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. Thanks to @Mr. RetroLust for his enormous work on the console bezel Looking for something less cinematic and more classic with gameplay for your themes? I highly recommend @Suhrvivor post (perfect placement and harmony). It's here: (I'll post my themes independently when I have a little time) 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 So many other projects to discover and to come!
