With various people working on various game media and box art projects (in particular with the 3D box model functionality with spines etc), what seems to be lacking is a central spreadsheet or similar where this work can be methodically documented and collated - in particular to avoid duplication. This thread could be a start of something like this. Anyway, I've started on work on game box art for the Nintendo NES (North America region). I plan to create front, back and spine (hopefully all 4 spines) images that can then be used to construct the 3D model. These images exist to some degree already - though my set will be "realistic" - based on original box scans - and not cleaned, airbrushed or Photoshopped. The aim is to have the 3D model look like the actual physical cardboard box rather than a computer generated model.

Neo Geo AES official full scans image packs
Retrofrogg commented on OKTrashPanda's file in SNK Neo Geo AES
Interesting to read. I'll take a look around. I see that the USA version of Metal Slug is on your missing list. I found the below image on eBay and wondered what your thoughts were? It's low resolution but with a bit of manipulation (including warping it back into the correct dimensions) it might be passable? I'd be willing to give it a go if you thought it was the correct cover and suitable resolution. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/iFkAAOSwlo1cwl3a/s-l1600.jpg -
Restoring and Preserving Historical Video Game Box Art
Retrofrogg replied to Jonny Severn's topic in Game Media
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? -
Neo Geo AES official full scans image packs
Retrofrogg commented on OKTrashPanda's file in SNK Neo Geo AES
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). -
Very sorry to hear this.

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:

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?

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?

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.

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. -
Looks awesome And useful info.
