  1. Hey all, been a long time since I used LB. Installed fresh using default auto setup for Retroarch. Loading game, hitting F1 choosing shader, choosing save core override, but when I restart game shader is not loaded. Same thing for video settings - how do I save those? It seems the core override has the shader and video settings, but doesn't auto load, I have to go in and manually load the override. What am I missing?
  2. This is so good, sad that there isn't one of these for all the consoles. Nice work!
  3. The angle threw me too, but the art itself is so good that I didn't care. These are really good and it's nice to have something unique. Great work Arc.
  4. Looks like you got a decent glass look after all
  5. I'm pretty decent in Photoshop..depends what you are trying to give a glass effect, I suppose.
  6. That's okay, just devote your life and all spare time to the project Haha..been there done that on my Hyperspin theme.
  7. See, I actually liked the other games you listed, I think I own Gothic on GOG still and I played Arx and Anachronox as well - and I absolutely loved Vampire. Maybe I could go back and play it and see what it feels like today. I would probably compare it to other games though that might by my downfall..comparing it to like Dragon's Dogma or something... (at least in the controls and appearance)
  8. I actually was HYPED for several months for that game..I pre-purchased it and when I got it I was so disappointed. The gameplay was so awful I barely lasted a few hours. Maybe if I had given it a shot for awhile I could have gotten used to it, but to me it was just so bad I couldn't even stomach it..haha! I think the wonky animations and bugs and gameplay just did it in..made it hard to "give a chance" you know? I will watch the video when I get home
  9. Two Worlds was awful though I agree that sorting by scores might cause you to miss "some" good games, but honestly it's still a valid method IMO because if the goal is to filter down to mostly or all good games..you're still likely never going to play every game on the system, so if you missed a few here or there..it doesn't really matter (for me that is) ------------------ All great posts in here. What I have been doing is looking up some sites I trust and getting Top 100 lists for consoles (or Top 20 or 50 if smaller systems). I start by moving those games to a folder. Then I watch several "Hidden Gem" lists on YT of YouTubers I trust like AVGN or Metal Jesus, etc. I move those games over. Then I look up RPG games for that system and move all of those (because I just want all RPG, good or bad) Lastly - I look over the remaining games and move any that I have any personal attachment to be it that I rented/owned it growing up or Nostalgia, etc. So far I have done 2600, NES, SNES and cut those libraries down drastically. I think for instance (am not at home right now) my SNES is down to 200-300 instead of 800, same for NES...and I think 2600 ended up with like 50 or so. Much better for me anyway. Very nice to scroll through LB to see good games and interesting games rather than random crap I have no interest to play.
  10. O Ohhh yeah. I am new to LB so still learning. The skinning/theming here is confusing to me, even after being a Hyperspin theme creator, lol.
  11. Wouldn't you just use the same image and rename it for each platform in the images folder to do this?
  12. That actually worked. There's one theme I had that always acts weird if you activate it..forcing BB to be closed..I bet it fouled something up.
  13. I will try that. Always used VLC no issues. Thanks! Edit: Same issue either way..and yes very odd indeed.
  14. I just realized I Posted a comment on the file, rather than here. I love this theme, well done! Issue for me is fanart doesn't show in any view where it should, and platform and game videos don't show. I can hear the audio, but nothing shows. See screenshots attached. Thanks (Please ignore my file comment)
  15. I don't get any platform videos on the main menu and also I get game videos only in the one mode where they play full screen..the others are just missing for some reason. There is also no fan art in any view. Shows up fine on all my other themes. Any ideas? Just realized, I can hear the video audio, but video isn't showing. Edit by CriticalCid: Issues are fixed
  16. Looks very nice Also I hadn't seen this theme before so thanks for making me aware.
  17. I was just watching some Hidden Gem videos from Metal Jesus last night..that's part of what I used to create my SNES list. I used your file, some hand pick, some Top 100 lists from online, then some Hidden Gem Videos. Then I manually added all RPG's if they were not already added. I like your snaps idea, pretty good idea. Hard to tell just from a game's name...but video can at least inform if it is interesting.
  18. Yeah exactly. You have 10k games, yeah it sounds cool but you never actually use 90% of that..most the time I get overwhelmed and just stop even messing with it. Exactly why I am wanting to hand pick stuff. The only reason I didn't hand pick without asking is because I could miss some "hidden gems" Gonna get there. Sadly I had to sell my physical collection when times got rough a few years ago, so now I only have flash carts on my actual systems and emulation. Maybe some day I will recollect.
  19. Great idea I started making manual lists using your lists, because I wanted to actually delete all the roms I am not using. I ended up doing SNES last night first and have about 200 games..much better than 750 - thanks!
  20. Ha, I had been reading that page, it does say The following CHDs are needed: jojo kinst kinst2 mace sfiii3 hyperath nagano98 blitz gauntdl gauntleg Guess I can delete all the rest. I thought CHD games would be some of the better games..but I guess not? So I have never used Favs in LB, I guess I can import this in some how - will check it out! Thanks!
  21. It's already a lot better now all the games I tried in a row were actually good lol I just ran batch, put those in my folder with my full CHD (probably don't need them but wasn't sure)
  22. Could be helpful I am running your batch file right now, I figured I might as well. I think if I just go one system at a time, pick some of my favs and well known faves then use some lists of "best" games I should be good. Will try to make it fun rather than stressful. I really prefer my real consoles but I paid for LB and have all these roms so I might as well right? What type of games do you play? I am mostly an RPG guy I stress out too easily LOL. (Does that script copy the required BIOS/CHD/ETC?)
