  1. I can do that on a case by case basis, at least for playlist videos. For the game-specific videos, I'll only do the one version (primarily since I've already done a few hundred of them and going back to render them again with just the game audio would take forever). I say case by case because several of these take hours to render out (some took over 4 hours). Most render in less than an hour, but it can still take a while and I can't do much while it's rendering since all of the CPU and about half of my RAM go to it :D. That's why I don't do 4:3 variants either; just takes too long. If there are any playlists you would like to use, let me know the ones you like and I can render out versions of those without a soundtrack and just use the game audio in them. For future playlists, just leave a comment like this.
  2. Looney Tunes Collection Playlist Theme (16:9) View File This was a request from @BlueArrowUK. I don't normally get these finished so quickly, but this was so much fun that I just spent the last 4 hours doing nothing but working on it and it all came together pretty nice I think. Hope you all enjoy it. I've also included a clear logo that I mocked up as well as a banner image. I like using pixel art for my playlist banners. I'm going to update the existing playlist vids with the pixel art I use for those, too. Just put Marvin in the Banner folder after making the playlist (Images\Playlists\Looney Tunes Collection\Banner) if you want to use it.

  4. I can definitely add those to my list. I've been trying to get PS2 and PC game themes done, so those are what I'm focusing on at the moment. I've also got Shining Force collection, Virtua Fighter collection and Shmups collection themes planned. However, that Looney Toons one sounded like fun, so I did get something started for it : Muted the music so it would render quicker for the preview. Should have this one done pretty soon.
  5. In LaunchBox, go to Manage Emulators and be sure the following Auto-Hotkey script is under the tab designated for it (copy and paste the bolded bits it if it's not): ; This section closes PCSX2 when pressing Escape $Esc:: { Process, Close, {{{StartupEXE}}} } For MAME, you don't need the script. Now launch BigBox and go to Options -> Controller Automation I use a DualShock 4 myself and I set the Hold button to my Share button (appears in BB as button 7) and the Close the Active Window button to Options (button 8 in BB), so you can do the same with Back and Start on yours. Now when you are in a game and you want to exit, hold the Back button and then press Start. This will close the game and emulator.
  6. Sony PlayStation 3 Themes (16:9) View File This is going to be a very small collection since I only have 2 PlayStation 3 games that I run on RPCS3: Demon's Souls and Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir. I'll probably add more down the road. 1. Demon's Souls 2. Dante's Inferno: Divine Edition 3. Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir 4. 1942: Joint Strike Submitter CTRL-ALT-DEFEAT Submitted 09/05/2017 Category Game Theme Videos

  8. Glad you got it somewhat sorted out!
  9. Same here. I'm on 1.9.1 of Cemu and the latest beta of LB (16) and not having any trouble.
  10. I'm working on themes for the PS2, so I will definitely be adding themes for Final Fantasy X and X International once I get to the "Fs" for those, so keep an eye on the PS2 themes since that is where I will be putting them. Once I get to PSP, I'll have themes for the PSP releases, as well. I also still have a few of the Gameboy ones to do: Legend 1, 2 and 3. I'll also be doing my own Mystic Quest theme once I get to making Super Nintendo themes. And XV was just announced to be coming to PC in a few months, so there's that too. Ultimately, everything will be covered. Decided to stick with just doing themes as system collections, but links to the series collections are always put in where they apply.
  11. Wrestling Collection Playlist Theme (16:9) View File This took a lot longer to finish than I anticipated, but here it is. I had to cut back on some of the ideas I had for this initially (largely due to lack of skill with the software), but I hope you guys like it. This was a special request from @heelsinc (sorry it took so long). I was asked by someone commenting on my YouTube channel to do a playlist theme for the Shining Force series and I have one that I started for Virtua Fighter (by request) and one for Shmups, though I am primarily focusing on gameplay vids for PC and PS2 at the moment.

  13. No worries! For the playlists, I hope to make those more interesting than the game specific ones since I make them with longer run times. I still have to get more gameplay clips for the video and I have to work the next few days (12hr shifts... yeck), but I should have this one ready by Monday/Tuesday at the latest. I'm honestly not super happy with it, but I don't want to start all over either. In any case, hopefully it will look good in your collection, but if it's not, no worries and I can try making a different one.
  14. haven't forgotten ya; just haven't had much time to devote to larger projects lately (usually need a few hours at a time to play around with things). I'll try and have it finished by Friday, but I think I might just leave it to American Wrestling (never could find anything appropriate sounding for Japanese wrestling).
  15. I have had the same issue that @Charco has seen; also for the Blue Box version. For me, it has only happened when first starting up BigBox. The Categories menu will have no video, platform menus will have no video, but the game menus will have a video. If I close out of BigBox and relaunch that fixes it. It's only happened about 3 times now (out of at least 30 times I've launched BigBox since updating to this theme). Two times with the original DLL and once with the DLL linked above.
  16. Excuse you? I don't really care who you are and I won't bother commenting on the bulk of the drivel you decided to reply with. It doesn't matter if you vouch for the site the library was downloaded from. Install it all day long if you want to, but there is absolutely no way you can say with certainty that it is non-malicious, so passing it along to other people as a solution is potentially putting someone else at risk if it is, in fact, malicious. Providing an official source is a better solution and if you go to the link I provided you can click the link for the Microsoft Update Catalog and download an update for their OS. If that did not work for you and you decided to go the route you did, you could mention as such (you didn't give anything specific other than "red herrings"), but providing a source that is non-official is still a bad idea. It would be up to individuals to figure that out on their own. Have you noticed the plugins section here? Yeah, these are libraries created by users in the community to add extra features to Launchbox. However, they are not official and if you try to download one, you are prompted that it is at your own risk to do so. The reason? There is no way that it can be absolutely confirmed without thorough testing that any of these libraries won't run malicious code on someone's computer. It is very common for a virus to be masked as something harmless; happens all the time. The d3dcompiler IS a component of DirectX. D3D is Direct 3D; one of several API in the DirectX compilation of APIs. That specific library may not be a component for versions of DirectX before DirectX 12, but it is still a DirectX component.
  17. I wouldn't recommend downloading libraries like that from non-official websites. That library is part of DirectX, so it'd be better to install the latest from Microsoft if the package included with the Launchbox install doesn't include the library for some reason. You can also get the library, standalone, directly from this Microsoft KB: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4019990/update-for-the-d3dcompiler-47-dll-component-on-windows
  18. Sony PlayStation 2 Themes (16:9) View File Keeping with Sony's platforms for now, so moving on to the PS2! I'm going to upload these in reverse order this time, so starting in the Zs. I'll have a little over hundred videos uploaded once this is finished. For Final Fantasy themes, I already of most of the games for this platform available from the link below, but I still need to make one for Final Fantasy X and X International. I'm already using a theme made by someone else for X, but I will make a new one to finish out the PS2 themes for this series. I will upload those to that particular thread once they are done, instead of to this one, so check there if you are looking for them.

  20. Definitely not trying to be nosy and it's none of my business to know specifics and not interested in any sort of drama, but I'm getting a little bit concerned. Over the last month-ish, I've noticed there have been fewer updates to LB/BB than what Jason generally puts out. I've also noticed the threads of people that watch the live streams and it seems that Jason is not doing those as of late. There also hasn't been a news upload since June 24th, though there have been some tutorials, so that's at least good. I'm aware that Brad left a few weeks ago, so I figure it's maybe related, but it's been awfully quiet. In any case, and again, I'm not interested in speculation or getting into other people's business or jumping the gun, so hopefully all is going well and we get some kind of update from Jason soon.
  21. PlayStation Now Category/Game Theme Video (16:9) View File I recently decided to try out PlayStation Now (since there is a free trial) and added it to my Launchbox/BigBox setup. This video is really just a placeholder for now. I haven't had much time to devote to larger video projects lately with work and looking for a new place/preparing to move, etc (not to mention getting pretty hooked on Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age the last couple of weeks - only a couple Trophies left!). I feel bad since I have started a couple other Playlist Themes for Wrestling and one for a Virtua Fighter Collection, but haven't been able to devote the time I would need to invest to getting them finished. I slapped this together for PlayStation Now (really wish you could add and launch applications from the top level, rather having to have them nested into a category, but alas). There is no gameplay featured or anything, but when I get more time I will flesh it out, so just consider it a hold over for now. I've also included what I am using for the Clear Logo, Box Front/Banner and Fanart - Background. Just click the images beneath the video and Save As.
