  1. A lot of work going on here! Would you be able to shed some light on the tools you use to make these improvements? Also, are you doing spines at all, given the new 3D model box functionally in Launchbox?
  2. Great work, and interesting observations around the lack of full cover scans for the Neo Geo. I commend your choice of using the official artwork and the lengths you have gone to to track this down. I much prefer the proper official artwork rather than any fan-made or even excessively photoshopped artwork - in particular now that 3D box models have made it to LB. Did you have to do much editing of the images that you did find? Do you have any minimum criteria in terms of image resolution or clarity? How do you find that these covers work with the 3D box models? Is there much impression of the artwork being inside a case? I know that the plan is to make more 3D box templates so maybe that might help? I'll see if I can find any more covers. I take it you've scoured eBay for current and past entries? What about emailing collectors of the physical games to ask for scans (may yield low return but you never know).
  3. Very sorry to hear this.
  4. Noice! Huge improvement to be able to view the 3D model boxes full screen in Launchbox. Would be amazing to be able to lock the vertical rotation when using the mouse (so we can rotate the box horizonally without it flipping about). Only issue is I'm getting a white line at the top of the screen when viewing 3D model boxes fullscreen - but this only happens on the 4k monitor and not the 1440p one:
  5. The issue seemed to be to do with naming; 2 instead of II, etc.
  6. No worries. I'll let you know if I find the answer!
  7. Converted the file PNG to PNG, replaced the previous one with that one, but still it doesn't show in the CTC!
  8. Here it is in the folder:
  9. The 3D box doesn't show in CTC either - but it's there in the folder.
  10. As far as I can tell, if you consolidate roms, then any rom in that set which isn't the primary/main rom won't display in any auto-generated playlists. Is this correct, and is there a way round it?
  11. Here is an example. You can see that the 3D box is present, but it didn't get incorporated into the marquee.
  12. I've noticed that the 3D box is placed in the banner for most games, but not all. Ive checked and these other games definitely have 3D boxes, which are labelled as such - they just don't appear on the marquee. Has this been noted before?
  13. I ran the "consolidate roms" feature on my Nintendo Famicom platform, after they had already been imported. A bunch of them consolidated, but many didnt. See screenshot below as an example. Shouldn't these and similar have been consolidated too?
  14. That Wii bezel is pretty cool, though I think the lack of symmetry would bother me!
  15. Is this function still working? For my Famicom platform I have an auto playlist that looks like this: But it doesn't seem to be working; all games for that platform are included in the playlist.
  16. Great plugin! Please consider enabling 3D rotatable box on the 2nd monitor
  17. Very very cool. Now if it could only display the rotatable 3D box on the 2nd monitor..... Although when I exit it from the menu, the image remains on the 2nd monitor, no matter what I do in LB. Also, the "device" image won't show on the 2nd monitor when I select a platform.
  18. Nice for the 3D box models...but no back images to go with it?
  19. Version 1.0.0

    Banners for the Nintendo Famicom (Nintendo Entertainment System, Japan region). 1294 banners. I couldn't find anything I liked online so I made my own. Split into 7 zips. I display them at the top of the game details pane in Launchbox. Many thanks to @Mr. RetroLust for his plugin, and to @y2guru for his Theme Creator app which I used to generate these. Any requests let me know, and I'll add them. Nintendo Entertainment System pack to follow. Edit 30.11.22 - I've replaced a bunch of the banners which had the 3D box, clear logo or cart image missing with complete ones; let me know if you want these added and I'll upload them.
  20. Looks awesome And useful info.
  21. It would be very useful if the audit tool could be run on a playlist, rather than just a platform. For example, I have a playlist where I'm trying to remove all homebrew games; the only way to do this en-masse seems to be via the audit tool. I don't want to remove them all from the platform however. You can vote for this feature here: https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/7392/allow-audit-tool-to-work-on-playlists-not
  22. Spine images are great for the 3D box models, and hopefully we will soon have image categories for all 4 spine images so that we can make the models properly. However, I don't want these spine images cluttering the image carousel. Can spine images be left off the carousel please? You can vote for this feature here: https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/7387/spine-images-leave-off-carousel
  23. You can currently enter custom game metadata - i.e. create your own metadata fields and apply to games or groups of games. It would be very helpful to be able to add custom platform metadata too, to add useful details regarding the platforms. You can vote for this feature here: https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/7386/please-allow-custom-platform-metadata
  24. Thanks. Would be nice if it could have functionality for platforms too
