DOS76 said Where did you get that Arcade Classics Logo any chance you could add an image of it here so I can grab a copy. Sure I just posted it on the platform images thread. https://www.launchbox-app.com/forum/features/new-launchbox-platform-image-collection-thread/page-6#p19068

Here is a great clear logo that was not created by me but looks great for the MAME platform wheel.

SentaiBrad said There was a similar report of this recently, but it had to do with Intel Integrated Graphics and the Anti Aliasing option being turned up to 16. Do you have some sort of system wide Anti Aliasing turned on in your Graphics Control Panel by any chance? I use a Nvidia mid end graphics card and my Anti Aliasing is application controlled.

I noticed a bug that creeps up every once in a while. Its not that big of a deal but sometimes in the clear logos with the platforms and game wheels a very light line will show up under the clear logo as shown in the pic under Atari 5200. All I got to do to make it dissappear is exit BB and restart BB it and the line will be gone. It doesnt happen to the same clear logos everytime as it is random. I am using the latest 6.2.

The wheels view on BB is definitely better looking than the ones on HS without a doubt. For one they are a little more spaced apart and not jumbled together which is easier on the eyes when looking for a game. Also they are cleaner and clearer looking being that BB supports higher resolutions. The hyperspin artwork over on there site, most of it is top notch with the wheel art being one of them. It is a shame that HS does not support higher resolutions. I actually think that BB being able to use their wheel art in higher resolution is actually doing justice to the great artwork that many members have contributed and put there time into making over on the HS forums.

Very nice it will be a great feature indeed!

I was wondering if there is currently a method to match for example all the fanart and box images for the snes platform against what you already have in your collection with the games database? For instance I know a lot of the images on the database are getting changed daily to better quality images and things like new fanart is being added. I would like to be able to sync a platform in bulk against the database and it adds images that I don't have or downloads better quality images against what I have. Is this currently possible or is this feature coming in the future?

Congrats on the 6.1 official release. Everything is running very smooth and great added visuals as well. BigBox just keeps getting better and better all the time. I really love the direction it is going!!

Nickjs said Jason Carr said Thank you all; @Nickjs my guess would be that it's because the clear logos have blank space in the images themselves. We'll be looking to tweak all those images going forward (most likely we'll pull the Hyperspin images).> . In the original beta when the wheels were introduced the logos were the correct size. In my particular setup its the Neo Geo and the Neo Geo Color logos that have shrunk Did you already try to refresh your image cache in the options menu?

I just wanted to chime in to say that on the last few betas I have no black bars on the sides in either wmp or vlc in BB. I use to have them in vlc but not anymore since Jason implemented the new vlc version. As of right now I cannot really tell a difference between the two except that wmp might still be a tad faster in switching between videos and transitions.

http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/files/ Go to the search section Type in Wheels where it says Find Words Where it says " Search in section" Click on Downloads only Then click search now button This will take you to the downloads section and will show you only downloads with wheels

I got this error while surfing through BB. After I took the snapshot and closed out of BB I realized that you could scroll down this error report so I hope this screenshot helps you.

Jason Carr said kmoney2315, what is the aspect ratio of your monitor? Is it a 4:3 CRT? Wondering if that's why images are being cut off. Cancel that issue Jason. The strange thing is I only had the issue with the SNES game wheels. I must have had some bad clear logos or something with that platform because I deleted them all and re downloaded a good known set and refreshed the image cache and all is good now. I had tried refreshing the image cache 3 times before I deleted the wheels so that was not the issue. And the original clear logos that was there before I deleted them also looked good outside of BB and hyperspin with nothing cut off the sides. BTW: I am using a 16:9 1920 x 1080 monitor. All is good now so no worries

Also I have attached a pic to show that some of my clear logo game wheel art is being cut off at the beginning or the end.

Or if you wish not to copy all the artwork into the LB folder and want to save on space, you can just point LB to the folder already in your hyperspin media folder that contain the wheels in the LB platform options menu. Then refresh the image cache in BB options menu and will be good to go.

Found a bug. I didnt notice it right away until I refreshed my image cache. My Wii platform clear logo that I have had since I started using BB all of a sudden is super small on the platforms wheels view. The quality of the logo is 2000 x 909 pixels.

I am loving the new game wheels view!! It is awesome!!

VLC is working great on my setup so far! As a side note I am still not getting asked to update to the newest beta in BB in the New Wheels view. It works in LB and the Default BB view.

I am having an issue that I am not getting the popup that asks me to update to the newest beta in the new wheels view so I have to switch over to launchbox to get the newest beta. I do get the popup in the BB default view and now it is asking me if I would like to update to the newest beta even though I have already tried 3 times. Launchbox is fine and showing I am on beta 10 but everytime I enter BB it ask me to update and shows I am on beta 9 and just keeps doing this over and over.

I am really liking the new cache refresh in the options menu as it sure beats trying to figure out which cache file to delete in the launchbox folder to get new images to show up. Thanks for the update!

The new wheels view is outstanding! The wheels flow very smoothly and continuous and makes BB look even better visually. This is my new go to default view. I know this might sound stupid but I just sat there and kept spinning the wheel over and over giving it a good test and admired how much this frontend has came in such a short period of time. Although I will not be using the coverflow view that often I did test it out and the boxes are so much clearer now and look great. The only bug I noticed is when you press F in coverflow, BigBox gives an error code but I think this has already been reported on bitbucket. I, along with I am sure everyone here appreciate all that you do in constantly improving BB and adding more features visually as well as funtionality!!

SentaiBrad said An image quality slider or quality check boxes should be fine right? Yes,that should be fine. A slider or a check box would be great in the options menu. That way users with not as powerful pc's can reduce the quality so they don't lose performance and those of us with a more powerful pc can raise the level way up to enjoy the best quality image.

Jason Carr said The blurry-ness of the CoverFlow boxes is mostly just to help with performance (the images are indeed smaller than the way they're displayed). I wasn't sure how well it would perform on lower end systems, so I compromised a bit. I can probably put in a setting to change this though. That would be great if you could put in a setting to make them cleaner looking. That was one of the things I disliked about hyperspin is it seems like so much of the artwork is blurry due to hyperspin's max 1024 x 768 capability.

Klamp said Jason Carr said Beta 4 is now out; it mostly just fixes the aforementioned bugs above. Please let me know if anyone is still seeing any Big Box errors or crashes. Thanks! Navigation with controllers work in Cover flow. -Controller buttons does not work for play game, view images. -Error message when pressing I, F, M or P on keyboard in coverflow. Big Box still works after the errorwindow is closed. -Not sure if its me but it seems like the cover images are somehow blurred compared to the original cover images. I think the reason why your cover images are blurred is because the images are blown up to a bigger size and the image quality pixel is not high enough to support the bigger zoomed in look but I could be wrong. Mine are the same way and appear blurred as well. I would actually prefer them to be less zoomed in.

Awesome...great job,that sounds like a really cool feature!
