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

Yep, just noticed the same thing here. Startup time seems to be about 2 to 3 times longer for me after this update

Just some friendly advice for a few of your questions I'd definitely check out the Emulation Wiki, as it gives some really good information as to which emulators are the best for each system https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Main_Page As for theme editing, I highly recommend the Community Theme Creator, which is relatively easy to use and comes with a lot of nice features too Community Theme Creator for BigBox - Third-party Apps and Plugins - LaunchBox Community Forums (launchbox-app.com) Coming from someone who's upgraded their SSD a few times, I'd say that having more space is always better, and a 512gb SSD can easily be found for less than $100. Although if you're playing a lot of the latest systems (PS2, Wii, 3DS, etc.) then you'll probably need an extra (non SSD) hard drive just to store them on, especially if you have a large amount of games. Hope that helps!

Okay, thanks a lot. I'll give it a try

Thanks a lot for this tutorial! By any chance is there an easier way to convert a xbox game folder to an .iso? The program you mentioned (extract-xiso) doesn't seem to work for me
