Serioulsy @Jason Carr, Hire @Grila ! No Joke! Just when I've finished setting up my BigBox with Modern Mini, you came with this! Congratulations, amazing work as usual!

Modern Mini View File This is a theme based on two themes. One is ClassicMini from @Grila https://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/35204-classicmini/ And the unfinished theme "Red 84" from @Jegeroel https://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/35634-red-84/ This theme is only possible with the helping hand from @Grila and his magic (and fast) codding skills. I only did the layouts (Kinda, because mostly it's based on what Grila did and Jegeroel) but I did some touches here and there. Also, I strongly recomend using @reignstumble console Artwork Packs : https://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/33483-reignstumble-console-artwork-pack/ The main focus is to have the video playing in the Background and launch the game right away. But if you want more info about the game (like the ROM filename) take a look on the details page.I've been using this theme for about two weeks, and haven't encountered any problem on it. If someone needs the PSD files, so they can change the buttons layout, feel free to PM me and I release the file. Again, it wouldn't not be possible with the help of Grila! I hope you guys enjoy it!

[Feature Discussion] Make playing a game faster in BigBox
vsilvalopes replied to vsilvalopes's topic in Features
Thanks for the input! I'm going to open a issue for it, as soon as possible! I really like BigBox, and the new themes coming for it are just insane! A few tweaks on the main menu interface, will make it a blast! -

I will be glad if you can do this! PM the link and I will start working! The last thing I did was to "cut" and make the layers of a screenshoot from the actual theme, but I'm in a pile of work in the last two weeks, so any available time, I'm playing if my son! I've also managed to find the "Nintendo Font" for it, but I think that it's not a legal download, so I'm probably going to take a look on dafont.com for a good reading font, actually Bebas Neue is a good option, or Roboto from Android.

@Grila you are on fire! Thanks again for this one ! Personally, I still like the approach that you used on ClassicNES Theme. As soon I catch a break from work, I will start modding the ClassicNES in PhotoShop, and ask for your help, adding some functions on it (like displaying the filename as I asked in the past for minimal).

Hi everyone, I don't know if my title will be able to express some ideas that I have after using BigBox for almost a year. First of all, I simply love Launchbox and BigBox, but for me that uses exclusively BigBox, I think that in one point it has to improve a lot. Before LaunchBox, I used GameEx, and it has a nice feature, that I think most people will not even care. When you start GameEx, the first screen that you see, are some common options, that make front ends more fast for constant gaming. GameEx displays something like this : - Last Played - Most Played - Favorites - Games (This is the menu option, that takes you to all the platforms that the front end have) I see in the fronted communities, a great focus on how to make the front end beautiful with tons of videos, boxes, sounds and so on. But I see very few improvements on the usability side of the front ends. Take Steam Big Picture for example. As soon you start it, it presents you with some options (like I said to GameEx) and it's easy to continue the last game that you played. Plus, Steam suggests some random game for you library to play. The other options are Online Friends related, that for now doesn't fit on LaunchBox/BigBox. My point here is, I really miss the ability to see what I'm playing in BigBox. Whenever I start it, I have to roll an entire list of Systems, just to reach Super Nintendo, and then resume my last session of Super Metroid. I think BigBox should take some advantage on this matter, Giving us the option of more powerful filter options. I tried to achieve the same usability that I had with GameEx, creating custom filters, so I tried to make three basic ones : - Last 20 Played - Favorites - Most Played And I only managed to pull the "Favorites" one. The other two, I couldn't get to work. I'm a heavy user of emulation, and I play a lot emulated games, and besides having a library full of systems, I would like this process to resume a game, to be more easy in BigBox. For instance, I would like to see a simply main menu on BigBox, something like Steam Big Picture, with four or five links, like : Last Played , Most Played, Favorites, Library, Random Game. And when you hit each one, what happens : - Last Played : Show my 20, 30 last played games on order, from the newer to oldest - Most Played : Show my all time most played games on BigBox - Favorites : Simply as said, show all my favorites, independent of platform - Library : This put us right on the Platform view, with all the platforms within the system. - Random Game : Take me to the details page of a game. I think with this BigBox will be more useful to a daily use scenario, like we have with Steam or Kodi. The new version of Kodi, puts our media more acessible, showing what is new and what we are playing. Personally, I love BigBox, but as others frontends, it does not make easy to pickup and continue a game. Sure on the last update, BigBox now remembers the platform and last game, but for me it's just not enough. People, please don't bring hate to this! I'm saying this with love, with the only purpose of improving our use of the system. @Jason Carr if you can take a look on this, I will be glad! Again, I love your work on LaunchBox / BigBox!

F**ck Yes @Grila is back ! Thanks for sharing this masterpiece! Gona try it tonight! When I first saw Nes Mini, I was blown by the interface. Thanks for this!

Hi guys! I've only used the LaunchBox mode, but I'm really looking foward to use Big Box Mode. Based on this, here my requests. - Make a Trial of BigBox mode. I really, really want to try it, and pay for it, but I don't know what features and how the usability of Big Box mode is. - Include a search feature on it I'm a long time user of GameEx, and stoped using it in favor of mGalaxy. It has the most powerfull search I've seen in a frontend. It's fast, simple and works really beutifully with a joystick. Here's a picture of mGalaxy search mode Again, thanks in advance!
