That newly updated text filters view looks really nice! I'd give a little more room for the fanart and other artwork, with a little less room for the games list, but that's probably just me
-
Note (to anyone out there who might be following this thread), I've recently updated this with a slimmed-down, working version. More updates to come, so stay tuned -
Yep, the 4.2 version works for me It's a nice use of the given space, without going overboard either. And great work too with these latest updates by the way!

Not sure, but this was a fork of the "Nostalgia" theme (by eatkinola), and I had the same crash-issue with that theme. I'll take a look at it once more tonight and check to see what happens with the latest official version of BigBox UPDATE: Just tried this theme now and I get hit with a barrage of errors, including this one: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Management, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'. The system cannot find the file specified.

Yep, very sorry about that and I apologize for the very late response. Ever since Launchbox/BigBox changed the theme system with recent updates, this theme no longer works properly. I'm currently rebuilding this from the ground up and will upload a working version in the coming weeks.
-
I'm not sure if there's a proper tutorial out there just yet, but the theme creator is relatively easy to figure out. There's a theme included with the program called "Plain n Simple Community". I played around with that for a while, before diving into my own theme a little later. -
The POC - A Nice View of the New Walls
bundangdon replied to faeran's topic in Big Box Custom Themes
If you look at an earlier post (scroll up), as I requested that same thing here, you can change that view to have fanart images or videos instead of the solid black background -
Working great now. Thanks again! -
@faeran just a quick and (hopefully) simple request: Is it possible you could add the ability to add platform artwork or videos to the platform menus? For example, be able to change this to this: (based on the image in the platform-fanart folder) By the way, sorry for this horrible photoshop mock-up. I threw that together in about 1 minute
-
What you should try doing is browse around the themes section in the downloads area here, take a look at the various themes available, and find one which includes platform artwork as a background. Coming from my own personal experience, I've discovered there are actually a lot that will allow you to do so, but you'll have to give each theme a try and see which one suits you best. Another one that comes to mind is the BigBox theme "Aeon MQ7" Update: Also, I just checked the "Default" theme which is included with BigBox and realized that it also allows you to use platform fanart in the background. Keep in mind, these are images and not videos being used in the background
-
It should look something like this, (in the appropriate folder for each system) as shown below. But you'll have to put your own image there, as I did with "nes.png" in this folder
-
You shouldn't need to do a re-install, as I don't think that would solve the problem. I think there's a step missing somewhere. Also, I am pretty certain that with RetroFresh, it uses videos not images for that particular view (wheels). Although you should see images (platform artwork) with the text-list view. By any chance, did you set this in BigBox options? (see below) If that still doesn't work, let me know.
-
You'll need to use a BigBox theme that allows you to use a platform image in the background. There are a lot out there to choose from, but I'd try using the "Retrofresh" theme and see how well that one suits you. Here you go RetroFresh - Big Box Custom Themes - LaunchBox Community Forums (launchbox-app.com)
-
No problem! Here's a pretty nice looking set of platform images: Platform Box Art Collages/Contact Sheets - Platform Backgrounds - LaunchBox Community Forums (launchbox-app.com) But I just use google to find images, like this one for the Nintendo NES:
-
Not completely sure what you're trying to do, but if you want a picture-background for each platform, you need to put the image (jpg or png) of your choice in the following folder (using the Nintendo NES as an example): C:\Launchbox\Images\Platforms\Nintendo Entertainment System\Fanart\nes.jpg Note: the image file name can be anything you want

Another great one! Thanks a lot for sharing this Faeran!

Can't close down Cemu within LB/BB. Can anybody help me out, please?
bundangdon replied to rafster's topic in Troubleshooting
I was just trying to do the same thing now with Cemu and found the solution Type this in the "Running AutoHotkeyScript" options for Cemu: ESC:: { SetTitleMatchMode, 2 WinWaitActive, Cemu Send !{f4} } -
Count me in

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)

Oops! Yes, what I meant to say is that "I discovered..." with the help of some other very helpful community members here ? -
No worries! There's one I discovered here (link below) that you can incorporate the videos you made and it works quite well: Platform Boot Videos Theme - Startup Themes - LaunchBox Community Forums (launchbox-app.com)
-
Very simple but cool! Looking forward to the release of this theme!
-
Yep, that worked! Thanks a lot!
-
These are really nice looking! Do you plan to make a startup theme that can incorporate these videos?
