    You might want to find a proper RPCS3 tutorial somewhere on youtube or elsewhere, but from what I can see, you need the .rap file associated with that particular game and it should be placed in the "rpcs3\dev_hdd0\home\00000001\exdata" folder
  2. This was a pretty lengthy and interesting article, but it would have been more helpful if you provided some testing results, compatibility reports, personal reccomendations based on experience, pros-cons, etc.
  3. Glad to hear that! And the new posters are a nice touch also!
  4. Nostalgia-Bedroom Remake View File Nostalgia - Bedroom (an 80's style BigBox theme) Ready for something new, mixed together with something a little bit old and familiar? Here is my own 'retro' style version (fork) of the great "Nostalgia" theme, originally created by @eatkinola, whose fantastic themes can also be found here on the launchbox forums. This is a simple 1980's bedroom style version of that same "Nostalgia" theme with custom-designed layouts, corresponding to various computer, handheld and console systems. As of now, there are over 50 unique systems I've added/edited, with more to come in the near future. I'm not sure if I'll be doing anything with arcade platforms (mame, etc.), at least not for now. New version: While this theme was originally a fork of eatkinola's great "Nostalgia" theme, it's been drastically changed since there were some recent changes with the way BigBox handles themes. Keep in mind, this theme will only work with newer versions of Launchbox/Bigbox (after version 11.0). I'll also be releasing a few more versions of this same theme with different televisions and computer monitors in the future. So stay tuned! More notes: A very big thank you to @y2guru for his amazing COMMUNITY Theme Creator for BigBox! Without his excellent theme designing program I wouldn't have been able to re-create this theme. Really. A short video-preview of the updated version will be coming soon ? UPDATE (April 26, 2021) Here is a fixed version I put together with Community Theme Creator, which is a bit more simple than the previous version. I had to abandon the older version (1.1) since it no longer works (since version 10.0?) and created this "Remake" to use less resources. In the coming days, weeks, and months I'll add more systems, new screenshots and also add the source code for anyone who wants to customize this. Enjoy! Update (March 6, 2025) Added the CTC (source) files just in case anyone needs them. (In the link below) Please keep in mind that this was made with an older version of the CTC program (1.85) and there may be some compatibility issues with the newer version of that program. I'll make some more updates to this theme in the near future, and possibly port it over to the latest version of CTC.

  6. I wouldn't call that "abuse" but more like just being modest/humble However, I do agree that this program is well beyond the "alpha" stage and definitely deserves more recognition
  7. Great work once again! Thank you again for sharing this incredibly useful and powerful program!
  8. I'm really digging the style and simplicity of this theme! However, it would be great if the box artwork were somehow incorporated into the games list layout. Otherwise, fantastic work!
  9. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a way to keep the settings for Vice in its emulator folder, although there's an option which reads "Save settings to..." which didn't seem to work for me. Maybe there's another way around that issue, but I'm not sure.
  10. You might want to consider updating to the last version of Vice, which was released only about a month ago https://sourceforge.net/projects/vice-emu/files/experimental binaries/ That's been able to run pretty much 100% of the games I've tried, even with trainers. Also "Hoxs64" is another great emulator for the Commodore 64 and it runs pretty much everything with a slightly easier interface http://www.hoxs64.net/
  11. Wow! I really like all of the latest updates to this theme. Only thing I noticed was that the "ListBoxScrollCenterNS" plugin was included but not implemented into the textlistview. However, I was able to easily find a way to add the code in there, for anyone who wants the games list centered. (check the file below). Also, what would be nice is to have the same fanart view on the textlistview which is used in the platforms/systems list view. In other words, it would be nice to have something like this which is already available: with this for the games-list view And that would be the icing on the cake! TextListView.xaml
  12. Tested now and I couldn't really get the most out of it (for obvious reasons) since I'm using a 1920x1080 screen. But I do like the clean and basic style, as it would be great for anyone who wants to focus more on arcade games in their setup
  13. Sounds great and thanks a lot for the quick reply! Yep, the games text view looks incomplete, but I'm sure with a couple of extra things like the cover art, videos, etc. it will be perfect
  14. This theme is excellent! I especially like the categories/platforms view which helps make BigBox shine with a very professional and elegant touch. My only (2) gripes are related to the games text view and the games wheel view. The games text view really needs something else on the screen besides (only) text, possibly box artwork, gameplay video, or both on the right side? As for the games wheel view, it looks amazing with unique artwork for each platform, but the wheel artwork seems a little too small and sticks out in a not so good way. It would also be nice to have a vertical wheel, possibly as an option instead of the curved/circular wheel already there. But of course these are all very subjective gripes and with that being said, keep up the good work!
  15. Nicely done! I'm not sure how you accomplished this, but this LB theme speeds things up quite noticeably on my system. Thanks a lot for sharing this theme!
  16. I don't think these were ever released. I just checked the original youtube post and there's nothing there, not even in the comments section
  17. Great to see the updates! Keep up the good work!
    Wow, this is an extremely ambitious and very detailed theme. I like the cover-flow version most of all as it stands out the most among all of the immensely detailed views. Great work!
  18. Back on topic. Happy new year everyone!
  19. I've had the same issue before as well and this most often means you need the bios for the roms you want to play. for example, if you want to play street fighter alpha 2, you need the qsound.zip (bios) in retroarch's "system" sub-folder. Or, the mame rom you have isn't the correct set
  20. No worries. I can see that a few other folks have chimed in to help, and getting back to my previous comment, I wouldn't really recommend a NUC system unless you absolutely need the small form-factor or space is a serious issue. You can get a whole lot better for a few dollars more I think the first choice (HP Envy) would be more than sufficient for what you need at a reasonable price
  21. With or without BigBox you can get by with the NUC, and there are some BigBox themes which work just fine. Although you'd obviously get faster and smoother performance with something like an i5 and a budget priced Nvidia.
  22. Coming from someone who owns a very similar NUC model to the one you mentioned, you'll have no problems running PS1 and N64 games along with Kodi and Launchbox. You'll also be able to run Dreamcast and Gamecube games fairly smooth as well, but not much beyond that. However, if you're using BigBox, some of the more detailed/complex themes do lag noticeably, so I'd recommend using the more simple themes with BigBox or spend a little extra money to get a faster CPU and dedicated video card
  23. Honestly, I really like the way this theme looks and wouldn't really change anything as i've been using it for the past few months. Though, it would be nice to have some different color schemes to choose from. But hey, that's probably just me
