To change the startup sound, just replace the "startup.wav" file found in the Sounds folder of your launchbox install. You can find some sound packs here or in the downloads sections and you can always make your own.
Don't believe you can replace the splash screen at the moment.

Yeah it’s a bug which occurs when you are using alignment properties for the videos in your theme. I have the same issue with VLC in my own theme as well. I’ve posted this already in the Beta thread so I’m hoping that @Jason Carr has this still on his plate.
So unfortunately you have to use WMP for this theme until the VLC bug is fixed.
Thanks Cid. good to know!

For some reason when using VLC with this theme, Game videos do not display at all but I can hear them. System videos play fine though.
Anyone else have these issues? I am on the latest beta. I believe it is 6.9 beta 2

LMAO you are using the whole alphabet!

Glad you got it figured out. In case someone asks about it in the future, I recommend checking out Simply Austin video on how setup Rocketlauncher and Launchbox to work together.

Isn't another Pro of PBP that it also save you disc space too.
Yes it does! Not as much as .rar or .7z from experience, but it does

Maybe a dumb question - in the sense that it has an obvious answer I've just overlooked - but where can I read a list of fixes & new features found in 6.8 before downloading it? I'm the type who likes to know what's in an update before I update. Thanks as always for your tireless efforts and amazing level of communication with your customer base.
Besides reading the posts by Jason Carr in this thread, I don't think there is.
There is a "Changelog" after you update within Launchbox in the options area.

Love the art on your cabinet! Don't know about it being the first BigBox cabinet in the world lol

How would you be able to do that in RocketLauncher? (Open steam Big picture from Launchbox using Rocket Launcher)

James Baker has a gorgeous one.

Have you seen Simply Austin's video on how to set it up?

Alright, another new beta is out. This one fixes the multi-disc folder issue (the file names are now used instead of the folder names to detect the disc if you check the box to use the folder names for the game titles). It also fixes the frame rate issues that were showing up in the CoverFlow views when using 3D screen transitions (or at least it does for me @imdavid555). 3D screen transitions seem to be taxing even my highend system though so that might not be a great idea to set in the configuration, but at least now the framerate should no longer be affected after the transitions are over.
I'm also hoping that @ThePolish's restarting videos issues with the Windows Media Player engine are fixed in this beta as well, though I couldn't really reproduce it so I don't really know for sure.
Finally, I tried upgrading the VLC version to see if that would fix the green line issue when playing back the .webm Steam trailers, but sadly they're still there. I do have some more ideas for this one though. Also, Circo at EmuMovies mentioned that he could re-encode them and include them in EmuMovies which would solve the issue as well.
Let me know what else you guys find.
Thanks for all the help this week Jason. You were right it was the screen transitions!
(Phew)
The only ones that don't give me any issues are slide, fade, and none. The rest cause major slow down in coverflows for me. Surprised no one else here really had these issues lol. Downloading the new beta as we speak and will let you know how that goes.
Thanks again Jason!

Yeah, you're right, sorry. I wrote that in French. I will correct it immediately
Thank you!No worries! This theme is awesome! Loving it.
Also is it possible to change the color of the line under "Information" and the game title in the GamesView? I can change the color of the text easy, but not the line.
-
How good is the streaming on that? Last I remember, it was a bit choppy.
Would love to do this since my Vita just collects dust.

The platinum section? Really? I thought it was just that they needed to be shared on their forums. Are they paying their users for the themes they make Hyperspin? If so I can understand that logic.
I believe the media creator are not paid. In all my time there, I don't remember hearing anyone making money there for their work. The only exception maybe James Baker (Hyperspin Cinematic themes). Not too long ago he was going to move his themes to Emumovies and was going to charge $10-12. Current Emumovies lifetime members would get a discount of like $2 (so like$8 to get his themes) which is ridiculous. This royally pissed off a few ppl in the community and it changed that his work would only be in the HS platinum section instead.

There is a new version 1.0.6.
News tweaks on game views. See below:
Sorry If I'm being a grammar Nazi here, but shouldn't it be "Information" and not "Informations" in the games view ?

@Jason Carr I don't have that registry option as well. So I manually added it HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics\
Then I created the DWORD " DisableHWAcceleration " and gave it the value 1. Restarted my coimputer and opened BigBox. The performance became so bad that BigBox was unusable! I changed the DWORD value to 0 and and was back to normal with CoverFlow still not working very well.
Let me know if my testbuild that I uploaded in my previous post gives you any issues. I'm starting to think it is my xml file. Will do more tests.
-
Thanks Jason. Appreciate the help! I was actually looking at that exact page last night, but unfortunately I don't have that setting. Will take a look at the registry portion though and let you know.

In order to get that check box to appear, I believe you have to have the scrape as option to be "Arcade" when you are choosing system to import. I remember running into this issue two weeks ago when I was setting up Mame on my LaunchBox.

I have an AMD HD Radeon 7850 2gb graphics card. Handles Killer Instinct and Street Fighter V pretty well. Just checked and I am on the latest drivers for it.
I just used IO Bit Driver booster to update all my driver, still the same.
Looks like the issue is happening in my Test setup of LaunchBox as well. I placed it in a zip and uploaded to MediaFire.

Hey Jason here is the video as promised. I am on the latest beta and deleted the entire cache folder. Then I cycled through SNES all the way through to get those images cached again. Then I started recording.
In the first video I am just holding the right key on the keyboard. Gets really choppy including the game video as well. Once I select the game and the game video shows again, it runs like it should.
Second video, I am just holding the key to go in one direction pretty much. I have removed clear logos, almost all videos, and background. Only the boxes to see what happens.

I believe it is a performance issue since the images do eventually appear.
I copied the images from my main launchbox folder to my test folder. I will post in the performance thread.

Yeah sounds like his External Hard drive is formatted in the WBFS file system that only Wii recognizes.
I remember using a software called Wii Backup Manager some years ago that can manage hard drives like that. Worth a look as well.
(Phew)
New theme in the works
in Big Box Custom Themes

I love the ZSnes view. Brings back a lot of good memories! It would be a great view for SNES, but not sure it would look right with other systems.
I think being able to store a color or two for a system is a great idea! Looking forward to seeing more of this
