  1. Awesome addition. I really hope that Launchbox increases the number of platform image categories - including platform box! PS - why not add some details to the download; how many images, resolution etc.

    This looks awesome, congratulations with the project. A much-needed set, for sure.

    Where did you get most of your images from? Did you use any of the ones in the MAME artwork set? How complete is your collection? Launchbox generally imports around 3000 MAME/arcade games.

    Also, what about high-res 3D rotatable models? :D

  2. Ah, I understand now. Thanks very much for highlighting some missing covers. I've responded below:

    In quotes the missing covers for Europe and two others for the USA

     

    Ballz 3D - Fighting at Its Ballziest ~ Ballz 3D - The Battle of the Ballz (Europe) - cover added
    Champions World Class Soccer (France) - A European version already exists in the (Europe) pack; I didn't do duplicate entries for countries within Europe
    Chavez II (USA) - this is a Mexico rather than USA release; I've added the cover
    Fatal Fury (Europe) - this cover exists in the Europe pack
    Legende de Thor, La (France) - The European version is in the Europe pack (The Story of Thor)
    Lethal Enforcers (Europe) - this was released in a carboard box and so I didn't make a plastic case cover for it
    Mortal Kombat (Europe) - cover added
    Nightmare Circus (Brésil) - it looks like this was recently added to No-Intro; I'll do a cover for it
    Prince of Persia (Europe) - cover added
    Sensible Soccer (Europe) - this is already in the Europe pack, but under the updated version "International Sensible Soccer"
    Spider-Man (Monde) (Sega) - Spider-Man is in all 3 packs
    Star Control (USA) - this is an unlicensed game; I haven't done covers for all unlicensed games
    Stargate (Europe) - added
    Sylvester & Tweety in Cagey Capers (Europe) - added
    Taz-Mania (Europe) - added
    Vectorman (Europe) - added

    The reason some were missed is that Launchbox had combined some of the games, but listed the Beta version as the main game (not sure why when I told it to keep them separate)! Anyway, I will upload an update pack soon with the missing items.

    A question, in which download package can the following games be found.

    - Turrican - this is an unlicensed game; I have done covers for all licensed games, but not all unlicensed

    - The Duel Test Drive II - No-Intro has this as an unlicensed game, though SegaRetro says that it's had various releases. I'll look into it

    - Ghouls and Ghosts - this should be in the pack, under the name "Daimakaimura"

    - The Smurfs Travel the World - this should be in the pack under "Schtroumpfs Autoiur du Monde, Les". the release title

    and Hardball III - this game doesn't seem to be in the No-Intro set

    Sorry for the spamming lol. Is there a way to get the theme to show the "background" image in the marquee area, but if there isn't one then show the clear logo? The default seems to be to show one on top of the other.

    Another thing - the platform icons are a bit close to the "expand" arrow:

    Adding some space after the arrow, and reducing the space that comes after the icon would look better IMHO. It would also be nicer I think if the icons could be square rather than rectangular. The QuickPlay frontend does this pretty well:

    The "black bars at the sides of videos" issue seem to have come back with this theme? I tried chaging PreviewBackground from "Black" to "Transparent" but that doesn't seem to do the trick!

    Edit: changing the following fixed it:

    ForceVideoPreview16X9="False"

    Is there a way to reduce the fade in time of the Banner and the rest of the game details?

    Can we get the banner area to show the marquee for arcade?

    Edit: I figured out how to edit the xaml to do this. I disabled the clear logo appearing there, and set the marquee as the top priority in Launchbox for game background view. I then changed the stretch type to "fill". Now the marquees appear nicely at the top!

    Icon support in the side bar!! I've been waiting on this for forever. Will this feature be added to the default theme as an option? 

    Are icons supported for platform categories and playlists too?

    And the banner at the top looks excellent - in particular for arcade games. Great work.
