When in Details View>Additional apps, Launchbox no longer works with PDF files. I just get a black screen now. Viewing the manual works and opens up the internal pdf viewer. It's only when you add PDF files to the Additional Apps that gives a black screen. Something broke in the last update.

Thanks, you're the best. I ended up figuring it out eventually. I've been spending a lot of time just flipping through my games with your theme. Everything just looks so good.

The CD doesn't rotate in the Nintendo Wi-U theme. I tried fixing it myself but I always get an error message.

Still can't have widescreen for system that require it correct? It's still one view applied to all the themes. Or am I missing something?

The only thing i want is to have the details view fixed so it works properly with the Retrified theme from Retrohumanoid.

Love your videos and have been using them for a while but you don't happen to have a genre video for City Building and Management games do you?

"Short Break". LOL! You deserve a long break. You've done an amazing job. Thanks for all your hard work. You've made my setup 100x beter. I'm sure a lot of us here feel the same way. I don't know how you did all that in such a short period of time. Well done!

Man! You just keep making this better and better. I need to find me some marquees. Is there anything left to do in this theme? If only the details view could get fixed, my setup would be perfect, especially with all the media packs you already released. Maybe one day Jason will get around to fixing it.

Does it support Naomi 2 games?

If you are not using Retroarch, then you will need Rocketlauncher. You can have overlays per game or per system so you can have one for all your nintendo games if you want. Rocketlauncher takes a while to setup and can be overwhelming but once you have it setup, there's no going back.

Holly molly. You're on fire! Love the star rating and player icons. BTW, how do you compress your system videos. I created some for my own setup but once I run them through handbreak, they look washed out in Launchbox. They look fine outside launchbox so I don't know what going on. They don't look as vibrant as your videos, that's for sure.

That Genesis cover is from hyperspin correct? I didn't work on the Genesis set but what we used to do was create those 3D covers using photoshop actions. You fisrt create an action to place the spine and then one to place the front cover. You then use those 2 actions to batch all your art work. It's a bit labour intensive.

Actual stars in the same line as the year/publisher/genre text or underneath it. Whatever works with the theme/code. Thanks for giving me to box cover values. This is the only theme I'll be using form now on.

Does anyone know what values control the positioning and size of the box art and cart? I want to make some adjustments on my end (OCD). Also, is it possible to add a star ratting at the bottom?

Any plans to overhaul the details view? I think Jason would have to get involved somehow. From what i understand you can't have the system name on top of the video or a different background or widescreen video, correct? That view really needs an upgrade. it would be nice to be able to add categories to it as well for guides, maps, walkthroughs, videos and so on instead of adding everything to the apps menu.

One more issue I found with the arcade views: View 1 - Static Wheel - No arcade flyer/no box art View 2 - Fading Wheel - Arcade flyer/box art View 3 - Fading Wheel - Arcade flyer/box art (This is the same as View 2. Can we have a static wheel in this view?) View 4 - Text Wheel - Arcade flyer/box art Seems like View 2 and 3 are exactly the same. Is it possible to stop the wheel from fading in one of them?

My new theme of choice, no questions asked. This is making me add systems I didn't previous have. In the future, do you have any plans to add the following systems? Nintendo 64DD Nintendo Super Game Boy Nintendo Wii-U, Nintendo 3DS SNK Neo-Geo AES Microsoft MSX2+ Laserdisc Sony Playstation 3 Also, Windows seems to be missing the background. It's an easy fix. One more thing, is there anyway to disable the carts and cds? When they are missing or the system doesn't have them like in windows (digital downloads), the theme takes the front cover instead and starts spinning it.

Yeap, you will get that with FSUAE. The vast majority of people use WinUAE for the Amiga when using Rocketlauncher. A while back I tried to get FS UAE to work with Rocketlauncher. Some dude over at the forums there even released his own version of a module he said would work with FSUAE but after a lot of back and forth, I was never able to get it to work and neither were some of the other guys on that thread. Use WinAUE instead for the Commodore Amiga and the Amiga CD 32. UPDATE: If you use the FS-UAE Module version 4 and the developer's version of FS-UAE, it all works perfectly fine. It's doesn't work properly with the stable version of FS-UAE for some reason. At least I couldn't get it to work.

I seem to be having an issue with Launchbox not pulling the right info and images from the Games DB. I was going through my Sega Naomi games and noticed that some times Launchbox won't recognize the game, even if it's named exactly as in the Games DB. Other times it will recognize it but it's the one listed under Arcade and not Sega Naomi, despite the Games DB having it's own Naomi entry and my games being correctly under the Naomi system. Other times, when it does match the game to the Games DB, it won't pull in the artwork or it will be selective on which art work to pull in. There were several times where I had to go to the games DB and manually save the images to my images folders. I thought it could be related to the region but changing region has no effect. Went through some of my other consoles with missing artwork and noticed similar results with Launchbox being selective on which artwork to import so this is not just an issue with the Naomi database

Holly molly! This is great. So much work went into this. Can't wait for the rest. Once you have finished everything, will you be posting a template so anyone who wants to add an additional system can do it and still retain the same look?

You are correct. Demul has by far the best compatibility. Reicast is hit and miss and only plays some Naomi 1 games. It doesn't play Naomi 2 games. However with Demul you can't have per game control configurations unless you use Rocketlauncher and configure them all one by one which is quite a pain. I haven't tried Reicast with Atomiswave games. Hopefully Reicast will get to the level of Demul. I hate Demul. I have 2 Demul installs as well. There are a few games that only seem to work in an older version of Demul.

For those out of the loop like me, what's the advantage of this? I use my good old hard drive dock and have a bunch of hard drives for backup but every time I need to use one, I need to get it out of the box and pop it into the dock. Is this just more for convenience accessing all drives at the same time? Is this just like a giant dock that supports 4 drives at a time?

All 3 Dragon Treasure games for the Sega Naomi are working in the latest version of Demul. The problem is I have no idea how to add them to Launchbox. For Dragon Treasure, if I load the rom file dragntr.zip, I get a black screens saying "Loading" and it gets stuck there. However, if I launch the game from inside Demul and select the Satellite version (Dragon Treasure (Satellite) (Rev.A) (GDS-0030A) the game loads perfectly fine. Demul says the game file should be dragntras but that file doesn't exist. Loading the chd directly also doesn't work. Without rom files to add to Launchbox, how do you go about launching those 3 games? How is demul starting up the game if I only have dragntr.zip and the CHD? Is it using some additional internal commands to emulate the satellite version?

When you edit a particular game, go to the tab that lets you add additional apps. You can link anything you want there. It's not just for apps, You can link pdf files, images and so on. I haven't linked youtube videos but you should be able to. Here is a video on how to do it:

Will we be able to use the view with the character art as the main menu view when choosing the system? I'm assuming that would need to be converted into a mp4 correct?
