No problem! Some other forum members requested some additional genres that I see you have (like light gun games), so I'll be making some more in the near future.

Looking slick! Happy to see my playlist videos are getting some use.
Sounds like your smoke detector needs a new battery too.

Looks good @letstalkaboutdune I really only recently got into RPGs so I was at a bit of a loss there. Your list looks good to me as long as Panzer Dragoon Saga is in there!
Great, just send over those rhythm games and I think the lists are all done.
-
Thanks @Levo_Stone! The flying list looks great. As a big RPG fan, I feel like I need to massage that list a bit to better represent what's out there on different consoles. Here's what I've got:
Spoiler- Chrono Trigger (SNES)
- Dragon Warrior III (NES)
- Final Fantasy VI (SNES)
- Grandia (SAT)
- Panzer Dragoon Saga (SAT)
- Phantasy Star (SMS)
- Shining Force II (GEN)
- Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 (PS2)
- Skies of Arcadia (DC)
- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (XBOX)
- Suikoden II (PS1)
- Vagrant Story (PS1)

I've just updated the video themes download on EmuMovies with 960x540 alternate versions in addition to 1920x1080. I've found that these 540p videos load a lot more smoothly in BigBox on my lower-spec arcade cabinet machine.
-
Here's 1440p.
-
I made a wallpaper version of the side art for the cabinet computer, if anyone is interested feel free to use it. Here's 1080p.

Artwork is excellent and I like the name as it is, my only suggestion is you will need a couple of joysticks
Thanks! I've got a couple of Sanwa JLFs and a bunch of Sanwa OBSCs ready and waiting! Well, one set is in this super ugly (but functional) arcade stick prototype I built in the meantime, but still.

AWESOME! But I dont like the name Rom Runner.
Thanks! What would you name it?

Just now, Charco said:
Ah yes I get your reasoning there, sounds good! Really looking forward to seeing the finished videos
No problem. I won't be able to get to these immediately, but stay tuned.
-
Sure, but Superstars and Wrestlefest are both by Technos and are direct sequels. Wrestlemania is from Midway and has a completely different feel!

Yeah cool, I just edited my post with wrestling games too
Thanks! For wrestling, King of the Monsters is a bit of a stretch and there is a duplicate series with WWF Superstars and WWF Wrestlefest. How about we keep Wrestlefest but replace the other two with Tag Team Wrestling and WWF Wrestlemania?

Thanks man. For boxing I was thinking you could use the following games:
Best Bout Boxing
Champion Boxing
Final Blow
The Final Round
Heavyweight Champ
King of Boxer/Ring King
Pound for Pound
Top Ranking Stars/Prime Time Fighter
Punch Out!!
Ring Fighter
Super Punch Out!!
Title Fight
Awesome, thanks! Maybe we can swap one of the Punch-Out!! games for Legend of Success Joe (even though it's kind of a crap game)? I try to only use one game series per video.

If they aren't arcade, NES, or SNES then you're right, I don't think there are many themes available. If you just give me the lists of games I'll see what I can do.

Excellent letstalkaboutdune, will I just post a list or actually upload videos themselves?, By the way do you follow Comicbookgirl19 on youtube? She's made quite a name for herself and at the moment she is hosting an online book club covering the first three books of Dune?
Just posting the list here is perfect. I'll go and check if themes exist on EmuMovies, which they should if the games are popular, and then I'll work on the logos and videos. If themes don't exist then we'll need to pick some different games.
I haven't heard of Comicbookgirl19 but I'm glad that the books are still getting some love!

Seeing it on my end as well.
Trouble Hiding Mouse with BigBox As Shell
in Troubleshooting
Posted · Edited by letstalkaboutdune
Paging some of the technical gurus here like @lordmonkus, @ckp, and @NJDave71...
I'm using the technique suggested by @NJDave71 in this thread to automatically launch BigBox when my dedicated arcade PC boots. In general, this method works great, so thank you very much! One issue I'm seeing though is that AutoHotKey scripts, such as the one given in this thread by @lordmonkus to hide the mouse cursor, don't work when this is done, I guess because Windows Explorer hasn't been run. I notice that the volume buttons don't function either, so they're probably part of Explorer as well.
Can you guys please suggest a way to hide the mouse when bypassing Windows Explorer at startup? Can I somehow force AutoHotKey to run when I call an emulator from BigBox, that way the scripts work?
