    Unified Pause Theme

    Unified Pause Theme

    View File

    This is a Pause theme for use with CriticalCid's Unified theme.
    The theme will pull its Platform background and clear logo images from CriticalCid's Unified theme folder so it will not work properly without the theme being installed.
    The theme was designed for 16:9 screens and display resolutions only.

    I have made 2 versions of the pause theme, one will display the box and cart art and the other will display the controller layout for the system being used.
    I have also included the .PSD template for the controller layout so you can create your own.

    Installation:

    Box Art pause theme:

    1. Extract the archive and drag the 'Unified' folder inside to the "..\Launchbox\PauseThemes\" folder.
    2. Install the font supplied in Font folder.
    3. Launch BigBox and go into -> Options -> Game Pause -> Pause Theme and change the Theme to "Unified".

    Controls pause theme:

    1. Extract the archive and drag the 'Unified' folder inside to the "..\Launchbox\PauseThemes\" folder.
    2. Drag the 'Game Controls' folder from the 'Controls' folder you want to use, to the "..\Launchbox\Images\" folder.
    3. Install the font supplied in Font folder.
    4. Launch BigBox and go into -> Options -> Game Pause -> Pause Theme and change the Theme to "Unified".

    IMPORTANT: Never rename the theme folder! The theme folder has to be named exactly "Unified" or the theme won't work properly!

    NOTE: All images must be placed in a specific folder structure and follow a standard LaunchBox naming convention to work with this pause theme.

    All platform specific control images must be named as the platform in your set-up is named and placed in the "..\Launchbox\Images\Game Controls\" folder.
    All game specific control images must be named as the LaunchBox Database ID and be placed inside a folder that is named as the platform in your set-up is named and the folder must be placed in the "..\Launchbox\Images\Game Controls\" folder.

     

    I have also made a Startup and Shutdown Theme to go with the Unifed theme to complete the setup.

    Arcade Board Unified Platform Videos

    View File

    This is a set of Arcade Board Unified videos and themes for use with CriticalCid's Unified theme.

    I have also included the platform and game clear logos, with .bat files to extract the roms from your MAME folder so they can be imported to Launchbox.

    Also once the rom files are imported you could always use Notepad++ to change the paths back to your original MAME ROMs folder and delete the copies you used to import them into Launchbox.

    I have created playlist clear logo sets, which I have based on the logo font for each system.

    Not every platform category\playlist will utilize every logo depending on your build.

    I have used the same naming system thats used in the Unified Theme. So I would suggest verifying the playlist/platform names before dropping them into your images folder... as some may differ from user to user and wrongly named files will not show up in BigBox.

    If you do have different platform names you can use Bulk Rename Utility to rename them quick and easy.

     

    How to add them to LaunchBox.

    Instructions:

    • Drag and drop the Platform Categories and the Playlists folders into the Launchbox Images folder.
    • Launch BigBox and go into -> Options -> Image Cache and Refresh Platform Wheel Images.

     

    Here is a link to the fonts i used for anyone who wants to create their own missing playlist logos.

     

    Enjoy!
