Coming from someone who had very similar concerns with you in the not so distant past, I can say that TeknoParrot is safe to use, as long as you download it from a reputable website of course. I think because TeknoParrot is not really an emulator, and is more of a 'hack' than anything else, the program causes a lot of false positive malware warnings, and the same goes with Game Loader RH as well. Those particular arcade games are all programmed for use in Windows, and TeknoParrot essentially goes around the copy/hack protection, so that you can play those same (Windows) games on your own computer. The C++ and DirectX libraries that you mentioned won't mess anything up either. In short, it's a bit of a hassle to get up and running properly, but very much worth it since there are some extremely nice arcade games available for both systems (TP and Game Loader)

Very simple but cool! Looking forward to the release of this theme!

Great work once again! Thanks a lot for sharing this

Wow! Looks great! I especially like the games text-list view. Just hope that you'll make the community theme creator files available later, so that I can adjust the background colors

Yep, definitely back up anything important first. If you still have any issues, I'd advise sending a PM to the author of Community Theme Creator.

Before you unzip the main program (in its compressed form) be sure to right click on the file, then go down to "Properties" and make sure to uncheck the security box. After that, you can decompress (unzip) the files and should be able to use Community Theme Creator properly

Make sure you have your system artwork in the "fanart" folder. It should be placed in the folder structure: \LaunchBox\Images\Platforms\Sony Playstation 2\fanart\

It sounds like you're missing a step, because I had that same error before too. You may want to try to start fresh, backup any important files and then delete the cfg/ini files. When you start again, 1st step - add all Atari Jaguar, 3DO games to ProjectPhoenix and also choose the bios file, and exit the emulator. Then, run _Phoenix_Rom_Launcher and click on the "backup" button. I don't think my xml file will make much difference, but you should check your _Phoenix_Rom_Launcher xml file and make sure it has your games listed there, and if they're not therem then you'll get that same error, just as I did before.

Totally understand your frustration with this weird emulator. Okay try this: Before you do anything, backup and then delete the "_Phoenix_Rom_Launcher" xml file. Then, in ProjectPhoenix, add your Jaguar roms. When you run the game the first time, you'll see a window which will ask you to make a backup of the xml file. The next time you run the game, it should work, as I was just able to do with BattleSphere a few minutes ago. Keep in mind that anytime you add games (later) for either Jaguar or 3DO, you'll have to do this process again

I'd agree with kidshaolin that Retroarch is the better option and a lot easier to set up with those 2 systems, but have you tried the tutorial here? Just another Phoenix rom launcher... - Third-Party Applications and Plugins (Development and Beta Testing) - LaunchBox Community Forums (launchbox-app.com) Just make sure that you set up and select the bios within Phoenix before using this plugin. Another important tip to know is that Phoenix doesn't read .cue or .chd files, and only uses .iso .bin and .img. It took me about 10 or 15 minutes to get it figured out with this plugin, but it's running nicely now.

No worries! Glad to hear you got it worked out

Yes, this is possible. Within BigBox, go to "Options" - "Views" and check the setting remember (and stay with) separate view for each platform. You can also set different themes per platform, which requires setting a hotkey (in BigBox settings) where you change the theme while in that particular platform

Great work once again! Thank you for sharing this
