You can find a couple of good ones in the Launchbox's database:
https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/149223 -
My advice is to rename the "Atari 2600" images folder to "Atari 2600.old", then go to LaunchBox, select all the games for that platform, go to tools > Download Metadata and Media, check all boxes from LaunchBox DB and none from Emumovies. After finishing the download process you can compare with the old folder and add what's missing.

PS3_DISC.SFB is not the executable, just a file containing metadata for Bluray games. The executable of every PS3 game is named EBOOT.BIN (and is located inside the \PS3_GAME\USRDIR\ folder of the game Bluray's root directory), that's what you need to import.
To add PS3 games, Find the EBOOT.BIN inside the game's disc dump folder, drag and drop it into LaunchBox, then in the last window of the import wizard rename it to its proper name and you're done.If you have a digital version of the game and have trouble finding the EBOOT.BIN. you can find the folder in the context menu of the game on the RPCS3's game list (right click and select Open Install Folder).

Another question: is it possible to map a joypad with Xenia emulator? I dind't find any options/menu-...
I think it just picks up any xinput gamepad by default and works like a charm without any fiddling in the options. At least that's what happens to me when I use my Xbox360 gamepad on that emulator.

The Check all and Uncheck all button in the Download Media dialog don't seem to do anything anymore, also, you have to double click the checkboxes to toggle them for some reason. Tried on my custom theme and the default theme, same thing happened on both.

Excellent work! You even did the lens flare rays on the letter 'N'. Way better than what I had going. If you have time I'd appreciate knowing what technique you used.
Thanks! This logo was tricky to crop because of the fire that has a lot of transparency you can't just crop with the pen tool. To crop this, I created the transparency for the fire by first converting the logo to black and white (In Photoshop, Layer > New adjustment Layer > Black and White) then messing with the red and yellow sliders until I got something resembling an alpha mask layer (I used the brush in a new layer to fill the gaps in the middle of the image), after finishing this I inverted the blacks and whites so you have a proper alpha mask. now you have the fire transparency done but the fire transparent edges are a mixture of red and white from the background, you have to remove the white somehow. I did it with the Clone Stamp Tool (in Darken mode, this is important), using it at the edges of the fire by sampling and cloning darker parts that are a few pixels inside from the edges (I did this having the alpha mask separated so you don't mess with the transparency). Now, the NBA Jam banner has a blue glow, I recreated that by creating a shape of the logo without the ball and moving it to the background, Then I used the brush to add a few lens flare lines coming from the N , then added both the shape and the brush strokes to a group folder and added the blue glow effect.
I'm not sure if this explanation is clear enough. Hope it helps.-

Well, I decided to give it a go at the EA's NBA Jam logos. Here they are, not perfect but much better that the ones we have right now.

I spent about 2 hours trying this one and it's beyond my ability. I tried searching for a press kit for the game, often they will include the logo with alpha channel intact, but no luck. I hope someone can do this one.
No problem, man. You already did more logos than everybody else together. Keep up the good work! ❤️

Anyone dares to do NBA Jam: On Fire Edition? (The ones in the db are low quality)
Platinum trophy: doing regular version too.

I had that problem, what I did is convert those CD images to ISO files, then compress them into CSO. That way you don't have to worry about waiting for decompression nor loading the wrong file.

Nice one adding trailers! I've noticed that most trailers show nothing about the game in the first 5 to 10 seconds. Is it possible to make them start at a later time instead of at the beginning? That would be cool. Maybe add a slider so the user can adjust the start time.

By the way, the aspect ratio of your screenshots is wrong. NES (and any analog TV console) was meant to be displayed on a 4:3 CRT TV. The native resolution (and any multiple of it) is not 4:3, thus doesn't display the game how it was seen on a real console connected to a TV. Take this into account when uploading screenshots of old systems.

Hey, is there away to force play a videosnap of a game over a video theme using code? I want my theme to show video themes on a fullscreen view but show a video snap on the description view.

For wheels displaying platforms this are the files you need to edit:
PlatformWheel1FiltersView.xaml
PlatformWheel2FiltersView.xaml
PlatformWheel3FiltersView
For wheels displaying games:
WheelGamesView.xaml
Wheel2GamesView.xaml
Wheel3GamesView.xaml
Wheel4GamesView.xaml
You need to change each one for a complete change plus remember that Refried has custom themes for each platform and view. They're located inside these folders:
TextGamesViewWheelGamesViews
Wheel2GamesView
Wheel3GamesView
Wheel4GamesView
Let's say you want to edit the views for Nintendo 64, to do that you need to edit each Nintendo 64.xaml located in those folders.
There are hundred of xaml files on each folder so good luck if you want to change them all (you probably can batch edit them all at once easily anyway)

You mean with MAME? With that emulator you can define one config to work with different machines, for example one for all Capcom's CPS-1 games, one for all CPS-3, etc. What you do is make that config, put it in MAME/ctrl folder, then change one line in the mame.ini (should be in MAME's root folder) to point to that file. That line is ctrlr. Here's how the mame.ini should look:
Here's my config file in case you don't have one, try this and see if this works for you. I should work with any modern MAME, any Xinput and most Dinput devices:
EDIT: If you already made a custom config for a game it will override this config file. If you prefer this config, delete the .cfg files located in the MAME/cfg folder.

My collection is about 4500 games and going down, Used to be 15000+. I just finished cleaning my collection removing duplicate games from different platforms. My rule is to keep the ports, collections and different versions to a minimum, for each game I try to keep the best version or the one for the most easily emulated, I treat Launchbox like one big system with cool games rather than a full collection of games for many consoles and devices.
Having all the games for many systems ends up making your Launchbox look like those bootleg "99999 in 1" games where you only have few titles repeated ad nauseam.

Try always writing a reason for your uploads, it makes them harder to be rejected, specially on artwork that might seem generic.
That particular MK9 background might be rejected because it looks generic and iirc someone put it on every MK game and it was accepted!
As for PNG vs. JPG for backgrounds, if you use high quality settings for the jpeg compression, the visual difference is almost non-existent but the file size difference is still massive. Remember that the database images are meant to be used in an application so performance and file size should be more important than quality or historical preservation efforts.
