1080p Nintendo 64 (N64) HyperSpin Recorded Game Theme Videos
alnyden replied to Riffman81's topic in Game Media
Those look great. Thanks for doing this. -
Although "Prioritize Soundtrack Music over Video Audio" has never fully worked for me (doesn't work on the game list, only the games details page), I'm also now having the issue where video audio and soundtrack music are playing at the same time. (Not sure when it started but somewhat recently).
-
While on the topic of speed, I find Big Box is much faster than Launchbox when it comes to switching platforms, or switching between Platforms and Playlists, etc. Big Box is almost instant while in Launchbox the blue ball usually spins 5-15 seconds. Is that normal? I've got about 25,000 roms.
-
Uh oh, just got another freeze. It's the first time it happened since I switched to WMP but it's basically the same issue -- started to get sluggish while scrolling and then froze. The audio is still playing (I think from the soundtrack) but video went black and can not navigate any more.
-
Finally got it to work! The trick for me was putting the images in Launchbox/Images/Playlists/Playlist/Fanart. (Not Nostolgia/Images). Also, you can put multiple images in that folder and it will choose one randomly. Thanks for adding this! Now only if I could get the platform to show up in the game details. For some reason it displays in the wheel views, but not here. Anyway, thanks again @eatkinola.
-
Yes, I've checked everything, I can't seem to get it to work. It's still loading a random image from the Launchbox Fanart folder. Maybe I'll check later with fresh eyes and see if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks for your feedback.
-
Hmmm, that's exactly what I'm doing. I tried it for both a platform and a playlist, but the image is not appearing. Does it support jpg? When I replaced the "background.png", it only worked as a .png.
-
Okay, I set the visibility, and it seems to be loading a random fanart picture from that platform. Cool feature, thanks for adding this. Let's say however I want to specify what the background picture is. You mentioned being able to override in Nostalgia/Images, but I can't get that to work. For example, if I wanted to choose a specific background picture for Atari 5200, where would I put it and what would I name the file? Thanks!
-
Okay cool, I'll give this a try tonight. One thing I'm unclear about -- after setting Visibility Collapsed to Visible in Nostolgia.xaml, I add the background I want to use in Nostolgia/views/images/AVLF/Playlists AND adjust the @index.txt file?
-
Switched to WMP and I'm not getting freezes, so apparently that's the issue, thanks. Re: Backgrounds, I'll experiment with that. However, the background I want to change on a playlist basis is the one in Nostolgia/Views/Images/background.png that's used in the other view. You also mentioned turning something on in the Nostolgia.xaml file? Thanks again @eatkinola.
-
I'm using VLC. All I'm doing is scrolling through the text games list. Thanks.
-
Well, I went back to the old version of Nostolgia and I'm still getting the freezes. Maybe the issue is I also updated to the new Big Box official release this morning? Whatever it is, I'm not able to use Nostolgia at all right now.
-
Also, the new version is having issues for me. I switched a playlist to Nostolgia, found navigating the list extremely choppy, and it ultimately froze after about 20 seconds.
-
Can you explain how the custom backgrounds work? I checked the file you mentioned but couldn't figure out what to do or where the images would go. Thanks!
-
Makes sense it doesn't show up for a platform's game list, my concern is more about playlists that come from multiple platforms. In that case it's nice to be able to see what platform the game is from. (Even if it's not marked as "include with platforms") Thanks for checking!
-
Gotcha. I already have "Show Platform" selected however. I've been wondering if this is a BB bug. Can you get the platform to display in the details? (I have the same issue with other themes). Thanks for implementing that feature -- looking forward to it!
-
Hey, would it also be possible to add "Platform" to the game details on this view? I've looked through the "Views" files and don't see this anywhere.
-
Update on this: Since the official release, I am not getting any freeze or crashes.

I'm having an issue where, in a game list, sometimes it will play the game soundtrack music AND the audio from the video. Sometimes, it will only play the music. (I only want the music). I have "Prioritize Soundtrack Music over Video Audio" selected, and "Auto-play music in games list". I believe this is a bug, but I wanted to make sure I'm not doing something wrong with the settings. Thanks! R

No worries, I need extra coffee on Sundays...

Thanks for the reply Lordmunkus, I'm already aware of this though. I'm hitting Scroll Lock, then TAB - THIS MACHINE and setting the joystick. The issue is at some point (possibly after restarting the computer?) the joystick controls I set are no longer there. (Not saving). Thanks again.
-
I have a question about setting controls with MAME for Apple II (and possibly other platforms). When I use MAME for Arcade, I hit TAB and set the controls, it always saves them. However, when using MAME for Apple II, when I go TAB - THIS MACHINE and setup the joystick, at some point I've noticed the controls are reset (not saved) and have to re-enter the joystick controls. Anyone else have this issue? I assume it's some issue with using MAME for different platforms. Thanks! R

The video issues are fixed for me in the official release. Everything feels smooth and fast. Thanks Jason!
-
Sounds like I need to get another 8 GB of RAM.
-
Sounds good. I didn't notice any issues a couple betas ago, it was really smooth and fast.
