Sure! Silent Hill 2, 3, mercenaries, Project Snowblind for just a couple. i'll try to get back with more.

Awesome, thanks for the update. Would like to request new PS2 snaps next . . . some like Silent Hill 2 and 3 still say "Game Not Playable" though they are now, haha.

That's what I did. I just made a new platform category called "Genres" and playlists for each genre.

I'm mostly interested in running DeSouls at 4k. Already got it on PS3, just wanna play one of my favorite classics at the best resolution haha

Astounding. How is RPCS3 setup via Launchbox these days? Can it be set up to go auto fullscreen, end on ESC, etc.? If so I'm thinking it's time to bite the bullet and set it up for the few-but-great games that are playable

Nice! Been looking for some of these. Thanks.

A partnership with Activision that includes a $19.99 subscription fee and microtransactions. Plus half of Launchbox will be hidden behind paywalls for content that is already on disk in the program. JK. Hopefully it's a huge speed boost to BigBox.

The best looking theme I've seen. Know I said it before but seeing it in action really brings it home. Fantastic work!

I'm not a huge fan of how busy it is but I love the controller control schemes. Extremely helpful for remembering what does what per system. Wish every theme had those to be honest, haha

Have you tried putting a thin red border around the video and keeping the background black? I don't have time now but come Monday I'll try to mock something up if that doesn't work.

That dimming effect...brilliant. The contrast between the scroll bar and the background has always seemed to be tough for theme creators to figure out. How do I make one less important over the other depending on what the user wants to focus on at the time? Some have used a fading scrollbar which, until this, was my favorite solution. But with the background dimming when the scrollbar is being used, it shifts focus entirely to the bar without causing any contrast or hierarchy issues with the video still playing in the back. Then, after a second, the bar disappears and the vignette lifts. Sorry, the graphic designer in me REALLY likes this solution. Kind of frustrated I didn't think of it myself. I will say that I don't care one bit for that "BigFlix" logo in the corner--it seems extremely out of place even if it does fade after a moment. The first games view looks fantastic. I love how the video plays over the front-most "screenshot" on the screenshot bar. And using a screenshot instead of boxart is a very interesting solution, one I'm excited to test out. Not sure I'll use it much, but it looks like it has great potential. I'd prefer the play icon (the ->) fade a bit faster though. It lingers a couple seconds too long. The box art view looks, in my opinion, almost perfect. The video appears to play before the screenshot fades, which may be something you might want to change (so that the video starts to play the exact moment that the screenshot fades out). However I can see this view being my most used on this new theme. My Launchbox always seems to load images much slower, though, so I'll have to see. Don't much care for the screenshot-bar at the top view, but some may prefer it. The boxart-only view looks nice. I'd like a bit more space between the rating box (M, T, E, etc) and the game details. They kind of bump right up against each other. I vastly prefer the boxart-and-video view, but that's not to diminish one over the other. This is just personal preference. I really like the text-based games list with the large video view, but holy cannonball please reverse the red and the black, haha! That's way too much red in my opinion. I'd just put a strip of red at the top and bottom and have the background be black instead of red. That way the Netflix branding will be maintained without burning our eyes out, haha! Wow, that was WAY more than I expected to type. This, in my opinion, is the best theme I've ever seen on Launchbox. Can't wait to download it, it looks so awesome. Great work, SNAK3!

You're gosh-darn right it does. Not sure why I'm just now realizing this, haha.

Ah, I think my fade comment wasn't clear. I meant that the video is behind a black vignette effect on the left side--that would make it look as if it's "fading" into the metadata. It'd be more organic-looking instead of the video just being displayed in a square box like, well, pretty much every theme, haha. Still not sure I'm explaining it well....basically, in the fourth view screenshot of Daredevil you posted, just replace the video in the bottom left with the snap video of the game. It already has a black vignette effect on the left side, and make the right side reach the edge of the screen on the right. I like the idea of changing "overview, etc." into other buttons! Play count works, maybe favorited . . . really wish launchbox had a rating system (does it?) so we could rate it 1-5 stars, or something. In any case, those are just some thoughts--you're doing awesome work and I can't wait to see the finished product!

That fourth view may well be my favorite (although all of them look great.) Having the video on the bottom-right that fades into the metadata and boxart (or screenshot, whatever you decide) at the top with a white outline would be a beautiful view. Just an idea, but I really like where you're headed with this!

This looks sweet! Can't wait for the video. Well done!

Whoa, this looks like it has potential. I like the idea, though not so much the netflix style branding (such as the netflix font, netflix red flag, etc. But that's probably just me). Still looks amazing from just the one screenshot. I like having videos displayed in my themes though, so maybe if the center screenshot in the ribbon is a video in one of the views? Just an idea. Interested in seeing where this goes!

Same! I'm hoping to one day be able to sort all by genre instead of console and have Launchbox look as flashy as it does now

Playlist videos and clear logos per genre!

Totally agree. Oh, and I forgot to mention Xenia's dev's fundraising for a new graphics card (which, as I type, is funded by 118%). I'm uncertain about Patreon's long-term detriments in the emulation scene, but right now? I'd love Xenia to get one too based on how much it's helped CEMU and RPCS3.

Nice. Between this, RPCS3 running DeSouls, and CEMU's ungodly amount of patreon increase (200k per year?!), the emu scene is booming lately.

Also get a crash when trying to view playlists in BB.

WOOOO! Been waiting on this, super glad it's finally here. I'll test the heck out of it in bigbox mode. Gonna make genre-based playlists. Thanks again for this feature!

I cast a vote for Sparkster. One of my favorites. I'm not much of a SNES guy, but you start doing Genesis games and you won't hear the end of me

Done! Thanks for the quick replies, @CriticalCid, @SentaiBrad, @Rincewind. It's not a big priority thing but I would love to see it implemented someday as I'd like to sort my collection via genres without losing the flashiness

When I do that I only get the plain white text list of genres on the left side with no screenshots or videos or clear logos. I've also tried this with the default theme without any luck, same type of view I'm trying to get the really stylish "platforms view" with videos and clear logos but for genres? In addition, I can't seem to find an option for a specific video to play per genre . . .
