Yeah you have to really be dedicated to your hacks/homebrews to have all the images and videos and stuff. I try as best i can, but some fall through the cracks. I just deal with the gaps, but I have found a lot of videos on youtube, and made a lot of clear logos on my own. It's tolerable, but not complete by any means.

I just updated everything, and then updated to the new cityhunter theme that is supposed to work with the new beta. One of my playlists is showing on the main platform line, even though the "show in platforms" is un-checked. I don't know if this is a themeing issue, or a bigbox issue. Just wondering if anyone might know how to stop that playlist from showing up in the mail platforms somehow.

I like having them as separate platforms. I put all my hacks/homebrews together, for example: SNES Homebrew, NES Homebrew, Genesis Homebrew, etc. I know a lot of people further separate between homebrew and hacks,...but I consider it all homebrew since even a romhack was still "brewed" by someone or a team, on their own.

Oh no, we can't loose this theme to any of the new updates that have happened. It's one of the best!

yeah it looked pretty damn cool. Can you do two players with it on the same box? or would you need another blissbox plugged in also?

I never understood how the blissbox could let you hot-swap (i think that's what it's called?) controllers and it would be able to stay mapped properly to the emulator? Could you explain a little how it works?

Hey the more options the better. Even if they aren't exactly to the same specs as the original, I think you did damn good!

Wow, I think these are actually very cool. I'd love a pixel theme.

Well community polls are a great tool, but just writing off something the majority of people may have never even thought of, or care about as nit picky is sort of silly. There are options for so many things, and orders, and priorities,...it seems fitting to have something for screenshot order for those who find other screens more appealing than the title screen. I myself don't even use them really, but I think it is reasonable even if it only get's 10 votes in a poll. Not everyone participates in a community poll either,...so that doesn't necessarily reflect an accurate account of users who might enjoy a feature. It's like running into a feature on a car that you might never have dreamed of because conventional manufacturing just never did it, or it wasn't popular enough to ever be considered. But man, if it applies to you and it is useful, it's a glorious moment. For example, hoods that flip up with the hinges on the front of the car, make it sooooo much easier to get in the engine bay, but it's only done for a limited time period on limited models for some reason. Or the fact that on 1971 toyota cars the radiator support unbolts completely from the car so that you can slide the engine straight out the front to replace it, without having to take the hood off.

I really have to try to find the programs and method I used back in the hyperspin days. It did exactly what you needed to do. It made an xml, and then there was a program that compared the xml to the romdirectory, and then another one that deleted all that came back not matching. It left me with a much smaller directory, and no more mahjong, fruit machine, etc. laying around. i had to go back and clean up a few one by one when I noticed them showing up in the frontend (i noticed because it didn't have clear logos for them because I never made them). I have a merged set and nothing i've tried to play so far has ever come back not working. Of course, I haven't played the thousand plus collection in its entirety, but still quite a few, and none that i've ever wanted to play came back non-working.

i think you are going to have to download the PSD files and try to add your own comics,mag, etc. artwork behind the text. I found that the text is gothambold iirc, and you can easily change both text layers to whatever you want. However, the shadow was custom made with what looks like different shapes behind the text. You can see it when you turn the text layer off. So I'd go for just a standard drop shadow and get it as close as you can. i did that when i added mobile to my platform list. Unless your really good with doing those shadows by hand.

Mind sharing which one you got to work?
