  1. Hi,

    In response to the grid look like in steam, it seems that it has already been resolved. https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/2102/new-view-in-bigbox-grid If that is the case, are we able to make this theme look more like the actual Nesica theme? 

    As attached, the Nesica theme has either 2 or 3 rows of games grid, aka the steam big box look, then the top will have the preview. In this way, the player can have a wider bird's eye view to see what he wish to play, making the experience way better than "scrolling wheels" - that is a very limited view. Can @simplyaustin help in this?

    Hi @Evilmaster, thanks for the like. The theme is progressing well and I have most views built. Animated gif code was broken in 7.4 but hoping this has been fixed in 7.5 so I can get that element added. Currently working on the steam banners for systems so thanks for the link as that is not one I was aware of.

    As you say the original theme that this is based on has two rows of banners. At present this is not something launchbox is capable of in its theme so trying workarounds for the minute to get the layout right until they add in a grid style wheel to launchbox which is what this really needs.

    I am currently adding dynamic control layouts to the side bars which can be changed by replacing the image files by the user. Hopefully won't be too much longer before I have a finished version to upload with video. 

    Hey @shro2016, found another link here https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/2102/new-view-in-bigbox-grid

    Someone already made a request for the grid that look like steam be available to big box with a video preview. Wonder if @Jason Carr is reading this then it might get speed up if you work with him?

    Yeah sorry about that mate.   I do plan on making a part 2.... however TAITO are going mental with takedowns, DMCA, court orders etc etc with anyone even uploading the gameplay.  Even mine got contested with that video.  So until the dust settles, I aint touching it :(

    Hey! Nice to see you here~ A simple question regarding this is then why is the website arcardep**** alright with all those downloads?

    As promised here are some screenshots I have taken of the theme and the views created so far. Many are not fully finished yet but hopefully this gives an idea of where progress is currently at on this.

    As always feedback is welcome and any suggestions for improvement please let me know

    Hi Shro,

    Nice work you have there! Wondering if you have any progress of late?

    I notice that the Nesica have 2 rows of game art at the bottom and it looks like the steam library view in the attached image. This place can let you download any steam game banner/grid http://www.steamgriddb.com/

    Then the above is just a video of the game preview. If this 2 things is set, then its almost done up is it?

  5. Hi,

    I came across quite a lot of same game but vastly different size across different platform.

    E.g.

    • Ikaruga (Naomi) 11MB
    • Ikaruga (Dreamcast) 58MB
    • Ikaruga (Gamecube) 1.3GB

    I understand like CDI and GDI, the latter is to preserve the original from downsizing thus GDI files is always mostly bigger then CDI, but for the example above, the difference seems to be too great? After playing the game in the different emulators I can't tell the difference maybe just the Gamecube version is slightly louder, that's about it. The graphics mostly looked the same at a Full HD screen(Gamecube version tweaking to X3 native). I don't know is it my eyes or there's really no big difference. If so, I would then get the smaller file size in order to preserve space.

     

  6. Hi,

    I've came across this  Nesica xLive  theme by taito and it really look awesome. I was wondering if anybody share my thoughts can would possibly create this for Big Box? There is a review by simply austin here,  and there is another fan made  link here where all the files have been create for Attract Mode and Rocket Launcher. I've only used Launch Box till now thus I'm not sure how to operate others, and I thought to continue using Big Box in the future too. Not sure if the artwork and borders can be supported using any previous themes created in the forum here to enable the possibility faster? Really hope someone can create this for BIg Box, any takers? 9_9

    Oh, this is the fan channel link, not sure if it helps?

    Saw someone did it in Hyperspin, was wondering if it can be also be done for the BigBox?
