Yes sir, it sure will. I even added logic for you to check the install status on the settings view. Install the theme, enter bigbox settings, it will display what all you have installed, and the version and such. -
Ah it's no problem, I like to help. Those are easy to install, I have the zips setup so you just drag and drop them just like the theme. It looks like your installing the theme again but its just the missing files for those addons. Also it goes both ways haha, most people just download it and never leave a comment or review. Just the way she goes i guess.
-
Thank you sir. Sorry about that confusion, I should add some info to the description about the files. To answer your question, you only need "Coverbox Remastered v2.XX.zip". There are addons for v2.XX, that you can download as well (BGM, BG Videos, Holiday Events). You should be good to go after installing v2.18 though, addons are optional. The other version is the old fragments (V1.XX), those are installed a little differently. That was my first attempt at this a year or so ago. Since it's still early access I have all the files uploaded to this main thread. I will separate them and add them to their correct locations in the download section once I get this all polished up. For now it's easier for people to have them all here so they can test it out real fast. I'll write a small section explaining what the files are in the description.

Your good my guy, I'm going to change those font colors today and see if I can reproduce what you reported. I made this to look real nice when browsing your game list, it def not made to be the fastest theme here in the forums. I actually dont have a emumovies sub right now, so I use the low quality videos to test (for now). Thats the only thing I can think of right now that I need to test, we have almost the same specs, your pc is actually a bit faster than mine. I have all settings ON for testing, and never had a video lag like your describing. I know they were having some issues with video with 30 series cards, not sure if thats still a thing or not as I never had any issues with it with my 3060, maybe I just got lucky. Some info in the beta thread about it. Does it do that in all the game list views? or only nes? I attached a video of me testing out the NES with OBS, which usually slows my pc down a bit when using it AND using bigbox. Is this the general laggy-ness you were describing? I will still get some high quality videos and test that as well, it shouldn't make much difference i would assume but i'll test it anyway to be sure. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of your video issue. 2025-09-20 05-59-56.mp4

It's not designed to run really fast, it should run decent enough though...not like your describing. I have a 3060, 32gb ram, 5600x, all on nvme and the snaps run at full speed. There is a slight lag when first selecting a game, only for a sec on my end. If you have disabled some options and notice no improvement that's also odd, what do you have your video playback set as? WMP or FMPEG? The NES screensaver actually changes colors 😄 I can see how it would be harder to see when it turns red. I'll change that up in the morning and choose a better color thats more readable.

Just got done with the update. PS3 should be better now. After checking it out, the splash timer was set to 2 secs. PS3 has a decent amount of layers in it, it needed a longer timer. I'm pretty certain that Faeran put those splashes in place to hide the few secs of lag you get when entering the game list. If you remove it, it looks pretty rough when you enter the list as BB loads all the assets. Splash hides all that. Since I have heavily modified each game view, they all have different timers and sometimes need adjusted after adding new things to a view. As always, thank you for the report.
-
I'll fix that ps3 hiccup when entering the game list today, I might have more than 1 animation starting at the same time. Causes that sometimes. Few other reports last night, small bugs. I'll get those taken care of too.

These are very cool. -
OK. Think I got them all. That was a good find Vahn, that bug was in all 3 of the new views. During the bug check i found that ps3 didn't even have logic for it and its info was missing from the fields txt file. I did a double check but if it's still acting up let me know.

Thanks for that. I forgot about the platinum hits. I'll probably have to check 360 as well for that bug. The front side case border isnt collapsing, so it's overlapping with the backside case border. Easy fix though. The logic will need adjusted so it doesnt show at all when using 3D box backs. I'll get to that sometime today and get it patched up.
-
I went back and took a peek, and it does look really cool. I went ahead and added it back for you, and added logic to make it go back to the way it was before by deleting the xbox details video. It should be done uploading now (v2.14.2). Let me know if it looks ok. Man I think I may have forgotten to mute the audio for that video....if I did I'll fix that now so I dont forget. Just for s**** and gigs, or anybody else that may read this. You can disable the XBox game details blob video by deleting it, and the details menu will revert to it's original form. This video can be found here: Coverbox Remastered/Media/video/xbox_details.mp4
-
Thanks Vahn! I appreciate you testing this so much. You miss the old xbox blob video? I still have it here, I could add it back in. Want me to switch it up? If i remember correctly I didn't add it in as to not break the immersion of being in the dash. Might lose the xbox orb menu images if it get switched up, they will need to be collapsed in details to fully see the blob.
-
You were right, I had some still using that old method that your pc doesn't like. It was present in NDS, DSi, and 3DS. My fault, may have forgotten to change it for DS and when I copied it to use as a base for dsi/3ds. It copied the bug with it. It's hard for me to catch that one, it works either way for me. Thanks for reporting it, I just got done re-uploading v2.11.1 with the fixes for that. Redownload it (it will say its v2.11 but it has the fixes in it) and you should be good to go hopefully. If not let me know and I'll dive a bit deeper into it.
-
I'll take a look at that, I might have (out of habit) set those to be collapsed by default instead of visible again.

fixed up the bottom screen a bit today, you can see here i got the color shades off
-
Thanks man, I've been putting in alot of hours lately now that my son's gone all day at school. I really should be taking more breaks and gaming in between but this is what I want to do right now, so I'm doing it haha. I won't overwork myself this time, and I won't feel obligated to post on Patreon everyday like i did before. Just wanted to show the new views. Think you guys will like them, the photos don't do it a bit of justice. The screenshots look like its the same old DS theme but I assure you its not. The top/bottom screen is fully interactable, some with custom options others just with metadata. I added support for the official NDS icons, DSi supports them as well AND the animated ones. DS has like 8 color themes you can use for the UI on the actual DS. DSi has several color choices, and a really cool intractable bottom screen now. It also has several color choices for the UI as well as the device, but i think i have to match up the color shades for the UI a bit, colors are a bit off from the top screen. Excited to show that one. I'll prolly do 3DS when I'm done with DSi since it's the last dual screen on the list. Thanks zyute, it's always nice to hear that people enjoy all the hard work I put into these. My frustrations with the case have subsided, there is only one solution really aside from having somebody make me custom case inlays. I'm going to have to use solution 1 and exclude the case insides for those platforms with dvd style cases and widescreen snaps. PS2 i might let slide, its not a fancy bios theme and really the case is all thats going for it. Also 4:3 snaps are available for it, right now it squashes the video a bit, but it's not too bad even with 16:9 snaps. To be honest i may come back later and widen it lol, it bothers me sometimes. I'll finish it as it is and we can decide later.

This is great news, I was worried that simple fix wasn't gonna do much for you. I mean't to tell you about WMP yesterday morning, i assumed you already changed it. I actually tested with both, WMP/FFmpeg both worked for me. WMP was better though. I am relieved I dont have to redo the grids, I'll look into the sound thing today and make sure it's working ok. I have some logic pertaining to IF a bgm is playing, that might be incorrect. You have been a supporter from the start Vahn, your always the first to subscribe. You were there the entire time i was tinkering with Nostalgic Memories, most of the fragments, and now for this. Your are good friend, great tester, and a loyal supporter. Thank you. I put all your requests on a higher priority level. At the end of the day I don't make a whole lot on there, it's purely just for coffee and food. I do this because I love the games, as much as you guys do. They remind me of a simpler time, a time long past. After I get the lil one on the bus for school, I'll look into the sound issue see if I've made any mistakes in the logic. Then back to working on the game list views

I was going to dm you yesterday about the video issue, to see if they were working for you. Donnel will get around to making a video at some point, but if you want to make one too that also cool. I'll post the videos at the top with donells. I still dont have emumovies so I can't really make a quality video yet. You guys both have been very helpful, I am grateful. Testing the game list menus and looking for bugs is always helpful, they have the most moving parts. The settings i gave a decent testing, but still feel like i might have missed some logic somewhere, if you see anything out of place with the global settings def comment and let me know. Anything you see thats crooked, misaligned, missing, etc. Report it and I'll do my best to fix it up.
-
OK Vahn, I uploaded a new version with different video snap logic (v2.05). I didn't redo the grids yet because they all look correct. i'd hate to rip them apart when the issue is something simple, like the logic. That new version has video start visible, hopefully that will solve your issue. If not, I'll redo the logic entirely. And if that fails, i will then consider redoing the grids. Before you test it, will you open Launchbox, go to settings > video playback > make sure you have it set to WMP. Just to be safe
-
Man that video was really helpful. It's crazy how different other peoples builds can be, you have alot of games, and way more platforms than i do. Seeing that wonderswan got me excited to get started on that one day. Seems like its been narrowed down enough, if it works on default theme means its a video logic problem in the game list views. You got the regions filled out right? You know what, it doesn't matter, it should default to USA when no region is found anyway. It bothers me alot that it works fine on my end, but not on yours. I can't think of a reason why it would do that, bothers me. I'll have to go through each view, sucks a little bit but I can't have it not working as intended. Thanks man for making that video, im sure it was a hassle. Most people just grab this and run, they don't even comment! And here you are making a whole ass video, i owe ya one. I'm gonna go redo the game list video grids i guess...Im 9 platforms deep lol, i gotta fix them all more than likely...i've been copy pasting those grids.

It does indeed help quite a bit, that sounds like I have some logic messed up somewhere. I re-did how the covers are structured in this, I did it in a sloppy way back then so I improved the way its handled this time. I try my best to not add a 2nd video element for regions, but sometimes it can't be avoided. PSX is a example of that. When I do that I have to collapse one, I might have some of the logic wrong making those not pop up like they should. I'll dive into that and see whats going on, see if I can replicate it. I should note that every snap starts collapsed, it becomes visible after the box art fades away via a timer. This could also be the issue. It's weird i just tested it for a bit and my snaps and everything work fine, timer seems ok, sound plays. Do you use the default global settings? Need to copy your settings for testing. let me know which ones you disabled. Also, sorry i don't mean to use you as a test dummy first thing in the morning. But can you enter any of the game lists that dont have a theme yet so the default theme triggers, and see if the snaps work there? That one has no logic, it should play with no issue. Testing is difficult because everybody has different media, setups, games, etc. Thanks for all the help testing, even with a borked setup.

I spent a few hours last night testing the bgm and video stuff. BGM does indeed mute when disabled, i also added a timer to the platform video so it doesn't play too quickly. I tested it in and out, it was working on my end. I didn't look too much into the snaps, is it only the gameplay snaps that are messed up? or does it do that in the platform view as well? All game lists use "selected item video", that one should work there isnt much you can do with it. I'll still do some more testing today, i have some logic tied to some of the videos, maybe its off or something. Is there any way you can explain in more detail whats going on with the videos? Does the video not play? its just black area? is it all glitched out? muted? Let's zero in on the video issue and see whats going on, maybe i can isolate it. Sorry about the clear logos, that was my fault. I changed it to read from the theme folder (instead of launchbox) and that wasn't a bright thing to do. Some of the icons are black in there so it hides them, or just doesn't display them because they aren't there. I changed it back last night when i noticed it, it will be available in the next update along with a few other fixes. If anybody else is having video/bgm problems with this theme please post your issues in the comments, I'll do my best to get it fixed up asap. If anybody else can confirm it's working on your end it's helpful as well, process of elimination.

I'll mess around with the bgm/video stuff for a bit today and make sure it's not caused by the theme. It very well could be i haven't tested that very much, it's not very complex so i just assumed it works properly after testing it. When I did the initial test of it I wasted a hour or so trying to figure out why the sound wouldn't mute when the global setting was disabled...it was the video the whole time 😅. The platform video I had set had some sweet synth music and i didnt even realize the bgm WAS off, the music was coming from the platform video. I'll still make sure Hope you get your lb all fixed up soon
-
I'll take care of ya cam, i'll find a way to get some icons on there for you sometime in the future. I'll just add a global option to turn it on and off. Right now people want the missing platforms remastered, I've been working on mainly that atm while i fix bugs people report (or i find myself). It would be a bigger edit but I could collapse the info docks and replace it with another version, that has those icons. And then they work like the 3d box back, one active and the other not. I'll figure something out when the time comes. Worst case I can make you a custom version with those 2 simple additions

There was a typo in the wheel template for Playstation that was causing a crash for some people, it's been fixed. I'll try to get the fixed version uploaded today. (Thanks bmtkat)
