  1. @soqueroeu Yes, you are right. In fact, this view should not even be active! It's a work in progress that I had coded/tested before Faeran redid the code with the Community Theme Creator. Here is my original Photoshop mokup : About the theme development, I have tons of ideas that are currently maturing. I'm especially waiting for the next release of CTC with all the wheel options. Please be patient : there will be beautiful things to come!!!
  2. Oh, OK! I hadn't seen that at all! Other solution: - You keep the original video set. - Shift the video to the right. - Fill the space on the left with a color in the theme. Like we do on Colorful in fact. You spend more time on the theme code, but less on modifying existing videos. Check out the Android "PURE" theme by @faeran. Open the GamesView in a texteditor. He added the code piece to add 1 color per platform. Covering Android compatible platforms will be faster than the one for Windows. So, no more compatibility problems with my video set ! (Note: I've never coded theme for Android. No idea if it's possible or not)
  3. I haven't tested this theme yet, but I don't know if it's really necessary to use the archive embedded videos. From LaunchBox android, you can download the Colorful videos directly. The full set is available.
  4. @Bawnanable Cool ! Of course, you can share your work! I would test this on my Odin too
  5. Thx @KitKatarama ! Yes, Sega Triforce was planned. But it's a big one, with custom and big cabinet. I must do all this in CGI before!
  6. The easiest way is to copy/paste a view.xaml from v1 to v2. But there will probably be incompatibility with the color management system per platform. @faeran , for this v2, has totally recreated the theme with the Community theme Creator (you can find the sources on the theme download page). Like removing the "hardware.png" from the wheel. Or customize/add platform colors.
  7. Yes, you're right! @tiualex I can't find the sources for your POKEMON MINI platform. Can you send them to me again? Thanks!!!!
  8. A GOG video is planned. It will be part of the "Windows" platform option. I already made a few. - Windows 3.1, 95, 98, 2000, XP ... - GOG, Steam, Origin, GamePass, ... For the Nintendo playlist, I don't think so. If I start working on specific playlists, it's endless. I will only make the general playlist that reaches the maximum number of people (Arcade + Windows) Yes, I had initially set up a list on the video download page. But it's too painful to maintain, so I deleted it. Is it really useful ?
  9. Thx @Retrocop ! To answer you: Size change: You're right! I had to crop too quickly. I'll go around and correct the set. WiiWare version : Good idea! I'll see what I can do. Handheld : Well, no. Basically, I created this set for a transition effect with the videos on all the PlatformViews of my theme. The images and videos should be perfectly aligned. In the videos, I added the handheld cartridges. But I removed them on the PNG's because it would limit the usage: No image elements should be cut because the usage would be limited in other theme/circumstance, due to the transparent background.
  10. With pleasure @OdinsPlayground ! When you have time =) Nope, no Namco System 11 for now. Currently, I am working on the v2 of Naomi(s) CGI. With the right arcade cabinet design. Thx @Klopjero for the 3D model link ! Maybe other systems already done, deserve a major upgrade too with this design? Here is the preview: Sega Naomi (v2) (WIP) Sega Chihiro (v2) (WIP) I'm not sure about this one. The OutRun2 terminal seems to fit this platform, but I'm not sure if the Chihiro's have mainly this form of cabinet. What do you think about it? I have preserved the background colors already in place.
  11. Thanks for your feedback. @faeran, I update our Google Sheets. NEO GEO CD > OK, noted and corrected in the next theme update. Taito Type X > OK, noted and corrected in the next theme update. Amstrad CPC > Damn, I see the mistake! There are two video versions here. By CMOSS and by me. The color is adjusted on mine! It's my mistake. I will correct this. In the meantime, download mine. Commodore Amiga CD32 > OK, noted and corrected in the next theme update. But almost perfect color match already at home. Mattel Intellivision > OK, noted and corrected in the next theme update. MSX / MSX2 > Damn, I see the mistake! There are two video versions here. By Tiualex and by me. The color is adjusted on mine! It's my mistake again. I will correct this. In the meantime, download mine. Nintendo Pokémon Mini > OK, noted and corrected in the next theme update. Sammy Atomiswave > OK, noted and corrected in the next theme update. Sega Genesis > OK, noted and corrected in the next theme update. Be careful when downloading. There are 3 versions of Genesis/MegaDrive/MegaDrive Jap Sega Naomi > OK, noted and corrected in the next theme update.
  12. Not really. This PNG set is already integrated in Colorful theme. (wheel preview in all platform view) And there are resources to create videos. I posted this set to make it more visible. Maybe it can help other theme developers (in LaunchBox or BigBox)? Or maybe unify the LaunchBox Games Database design? In any case, for those in a hurry, it will allow to update this part of the theme more quickly.
  13. Yes yes, excuse me, I always have trouble transmitting my ideas in English =/ Even without any animation, it would be cool! Unless I didn't understand: switching from BoxArt to Video is already an animation? Even without any "visible graphic" animation?
  14. No real need for animation in this case, I think. A quick fade would be fine, but even without animation, it's nice to have a video preview before launching the game.

    Pure

    Beautiful theme. Sober, readable and functional! Adopted as main theme on Android. I recommend it! 👍
  19. Excellent theme @faeran, as always! Test on the 1080p of my Odin (Lite). Works like a charm! Adopted as my main theme on Android =) Maybe a version with the BoxArt that, after 3-4sec, fades to gamePlayVideo?
  20. Yes, there it is. In the meantime, they promoted me to "Official". ^^ Here : EmuMovie FTP > /Official/Platform Videos/COLORFUL Platform Video Set by VIKING V2/... But wait few days, it's not up to date yet.
  21. !! PLATFORM VIDEO UPDATE !! +5 new video. Already available through the usual channels /!\ There was a problem with videos encoding. If you have issue with video length, please download them again. - EXAMU Ex-Board by @Klopjero - Konami Bubble System by @Klopjero - Locomalito by @Klopjero - Zinc by @Klopjero - NEC PC-9801
  22. Ok, I have a little issue here... Originally, I badly encoded my videos. It worked, but the streaming was broken, which prevented previewing videos from Launchbox's Theme Video Download Tool. To fix this issue, Faeran did a huge job fixing my old videos. I took care of the last ones. (See post above) Except that I screw at some point = all the videos are cut at 60 seconds!!! Damn ! So, DON'T USE AVIDEMUX ANY MORE for this video set ! I found a solution, directly in VIDCODER. So it doesn't add a new step. Just check these 2 options in each encoding profile. I will update the 1st post with the corrected VidCoder presets. So I had to re-encode ALLLLLLL the videos. And upload them again! It's now done. So if you find the videos cut at 60sec for no reason, please download them again. Sorry for the inconvenience !
  23. Yes, at some point. =) It will be available with the next theme update
