  1. I'm sure there are - and also, with the community with have around Launchbox, work on creating these could progress pretty quickly!
  2. Some inspiration for what we're talking about: https://bigboxcollection.com/#CollectionOverview THIS. We need this in Launchbox. The way you can rotate them and zoom is excellent.
  3. It would, but my point was that I don't want to run it every time the computer boots. If that's what you wanted, you may as well run it when Launchbox starts.
  4. @fromlostdays glad you worked it out! Yes, the batch file needs to be run every PC restart if you want to run the games.
  5. Just had another look at the latest version. Does the gallery view just show " the Box-Front, Marquee, Fanart, and Clear Logo" ? This seems very odd - in my mind the most useful way to use the gallery feature would be to show all associated artwork, not a random selection of 4 items. Is this possible? Also, the "manual" section doesn't seem to populate - I have manuals for some games and they aren't showing here.
  6. Ah...the spines on the boxes are back to front on the images at the top of this thread! Has this been fixed or is the whole pack like this?
  7. 5-10% is about the amount that will work without the redirector running. Are you sure that the redirector and the server are running? The original batch file did open Launchbox, but I didn’t want to have to load a specific instance of Launchbox whenever I wanted to play flash games.
  8. Are you using the batch file I uploaded? The file should read this: pushd %~dp0 cls @echo off cd Arcade cd Games cd Flash echo. echo Setting up web server... php.exe -f "update_httpdconf_main_dir.php" echo. echo Starting web server...don't close this window! Close Launchbox when it opens and this'll go with it! start "Apache Server" /b httpd.exe cd .. cd .. cd Redirector echo. echo Starting games redirector...don't close this window! Close Launchbox when it opens and this'll go with it! start "Apache Server" /b Redirect.exe It doesn't actually start Launchbox; after running the batch file, you run Launchbox. The cmd window should read this: Setting up web server... Starting web server...don't close this window! Close Launchbox when it opens and this'll go with it! Starting games redirector...don't close this window! Close Launchbox when it opens and this'll go with it! You should also see the redirector window open. If you don't see this then the problem is with the batch file. If this is all working, then the final step is to make sure that the games are set up properly in Launchbox. The game details in Launchbox should look like this (substituting the correct path and games of course):
  9. Very noice.
  10. Wish there was an easier way to edit the themes - some kind of theme editor maybe. I've love to change a few things but not being a coder I find all the code a bit complicated.
  11. Will hopefully check this project out again later today
  12. Quality work again! Keep 'em coming!
  13. I didn't extract the images separately - I just extracted the zip file download to the Launchbox/Themes folder as per your instructions. If you go into the Realistic Marquee FX folder and then the _Realistic Marquee FX folder, the .png images are in there. I have the latest beta of LB. EDIT - I think it's actually my fault for misreading your instructions - they say to " 1. Extract folder '_Realistic Marquee FX' in 'Launchbox\Themes' " - I extracted the folder Realistic Marquee FX instead, without the "_". The folder names are so similar I overlooked it, sorry! My next question is do you know how to remove the blur effect from behind the marquee, as it doesn't really work so well when there is a marquee frame.
  14. Thanks man, will definitely check that out. Have you considering de-bezelling that monitor for a cleaner look? For my current marquee monitor I am just using the laptop monitor (the laptop is running BigBox with an external 4K monitor being the main screen). Wonder if you could address the issue I added in my edit?
  15. This looks amazing! Thanks so much. Really brings an extra level of realism. Will definitely be trying this out. Out of interest, do you have any recommendations for the marquee monitor? Edit: Just tried it and it didn't work for me. The instructions say to " 4. Pick the style you like and overwrite the GameMarqueeView.xaml file in the 'your theme of choice/Views' folder, might be a good idea to back up the file first however. " There is no GameMarqueeView.xaml in my theme/Views folder however. The theme I am using is CriticalZone V2 - Bluebox. I tried copying the xaml across anyway, and then ran BigBox - but the above effect wasn't applied to my marquees on the marquee screen.
  16. i've also noticed this and woul be keen to get the screenshots in a particular order - though when I mentioned it the level of interest in being able to specify a screenshot order was not particularly high....
  17. Sounds great! I would also pick those 3 first. Then (as we're talking consoles) probably Sony. After that we're probably getting into computer categories
  18. Sure - here it is:
  19. Renaming it to Soulbringer-01 doesn't change anything; but why would it? I have all 5 screenshot types selected in the screenshot priorities.
  20. Still having the problem of screenshot images (which are correctly tagged and displayed when editing a game) not showing in the game details pane. @Jason Carr you had previously asked about the file format - the screenshots are just .jpg. This is how it looks when you edit the game - it shows fine and is correctly tagged: But the game details pain has the heading "screenshots" but nothing below it: Looking in the file directory, the .jpg is there: This problem has been present throughout the last number of betas.
  21. Great work! As I group my platforms by manufacturer (Nintendo, Sega, etc) it would be great to have similar videos for manufacturers!
  22. Pretty cool work! Not sure about the dancing robot though
  23. If it works fine in the Flashpoint frontend then you should be able to get it working through Launchbox. If it opens the flashplayer and then nothing, the problem is likely that the web server and redirector haven't started properly. Does your batch file start these processes?
  24. Try keeping the directory structure the same as in the download; with the launcher and the games in the same location. The media and XMLs should be copied across to your Launchbox folders however.
