Beautiful theme, really good work

I did the layout and @Grila here did the XML for me a while back. It's working fine on my low res 4:3 arcade machine

MUGEN is the redneck's mishmash pieces to make a pick up truck of the gaming world. Funny to look at but not something you could ever take seriously

just had a quick look and can't find it. I might have the original file at home so I'll do a reverse image search when I get a chance.

Any ideas if you can have both ? so videos play but the background audio is ambient ?

I have a very specific selection of games firstly - Top 25 from metatcritic etc for each platform secondly - memorable games that only mean something to me Some platforms like PS1 & Arcade which had a huge library of top games I have upped the limit from 25 to 50. I just want a selection of games which defines each platform

I think thats where it went but I'll give it another go thanks

Had a go at that but nothing played, do you know where the audio file needs to be placed ? maybe i dumped it in the wrong location

Hey, you can find it attached in the post below. The arcade was a generic one I found on google but changed it a lot to suit the right shape marquee and screen, along with putting in extra work for the CRT scanlines etc.

Hey all, I'm wondering if there's a way to play background audio on game selection menu. I still want the game video audio to play as well. It's come about because on my arcade, a lot of older titles didnt have audio on the attract screen so the videos lack any sound, it's disjointing scrolling through games and having audio gaps so I thought a ambient arcade sound track in the background would be good. Any thoughts on how to do it ?

With the help of @Grila we just built this for my arcade machine

Got it working So my problem was that my CRT in the arcade is a half vertical res montior, the actual resolution is 560x240 and when using that native resolution it causes weird things. I have now set it with a proper 4:3 resolution and it's fine. Added some videos and marquees and it's chugging away perfectly. When I have finished adding all the videos and marquees ill take some nice videos of it in use. @Grila is there any chance you can make it set to a weird resolution of 560x240 so I can try and get the most out of the monitor, it should still stretch out OK to a 4:3 ratio . Or atleast nudge me to where in the xaml. I can use it as is perfectly fine but I'm losing a portion of my vertical resolution. If enough people want to use this in 4:3 for arcade & 16:9 for modern screens, it might be worth locking this thread and starting a new one to show off the theme rather than looking like a thread for help which people might skip over Here's a quick screen record though. Really happy and Grila has done awesome work. https://youtu.be/OncU_W1_J_g LaunchBox_Big_Box_12_01_2018_08_26_14.mp4

I was being an idiot... restarted Bigbox and all OK. Displays funny though, ignoring the video and marquee not fitting, it now squashes the background. Joys of CRT and low resolution

Did that
