    There must be an easy way to do this? if someone makes folders with the right logo and name ie Folder path Platforms> (each folder needed or not) MAME>Clear logo> correct name and new image? for each image were sorted with a drag and drop??????

    If you mean replace them all at once in their default locations that's an interesting thought. Like essentially merging all the folders with the existing folders in the users LB setup? It might be possible but has some potential issues. If you rename platforms or have custom platforms (like I have a Sega Saturn Japan platform) this wouldn't work for any of those. I would have to have a separate drag and drop set based solely on default platform names exactly (which is close to what it already is). But you'd have to remove all the platforms that you don't want a folder for or just live with some clutter that is unused. I never thought about it like that. I'll consider it.

    Hi, these are incredible work. Wanted to point out that all the Game Boy Colors are missing the Power LED.

    Oh I see. You're exactly right! Many more accuracy improvements are to come. I am going through the collection carefully with multiple references and even creating little example mock ups of fixes and then bringing those to Snowway22 to work his magic. It's a lot of work just finding, describing and showing him the accuracy issues let alone him actually fixing the issues. He's been doing amazing work and I know there's more to come. Good catch!

    I have a question

    The version 3.0 is coming soon?

    and what plan do you want to release this version

    If I do another update soon it will be smaller and not enough to warrant a 3.0. It would be a 2.2. A comment from the reddit post: v2.1 I redrew every consoles logo for emulation frontends (500+ hours of work) (4k and vectors) : emulation (reddit.com) mentioned that the famicom and super famicom logos aren't exact to the original box designs. The famicom logo even says classic mini above it in japanese which is obviously inaccurate. Adding those original versions for those 2 platforms is the only planned addition as of now. If you have others you want, feel free to request them and we'll see.

    Hi, 

    Thank you so much for all of your hard work. There is an issue with downloading

    https://2007314850_v2.1_logo_buildersreferences.zip

    5.74 GB

    The file size stops downloading at 4.88 GB and the zip is corrupt. However it shows the file size as 5.74 GB when downloading. 

    2007314850_v2.1_Logo_BuildersReferences\v2.1_Logo_Builders+References\Layout Files\Computers\SpectraVideo Outline.ai

    Could you please fix this?

    Thank you again for all your efforts!  FANTASTIC JOB! :)

    Thanks! Maybe retry the download? If its smaller than the size it should be then it's not finished or became corrupt due to lack of connection or maybe an LB server glitch or something. Should be nothing wrong with the file once downloaded correctly. If you still have trouble, you can also try the download from the archive.org link here: Console Logos Professionally Redrawn + Official Versions : Dan Patrick : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive

    I also wouldn't mind seeing the CTC files here. Two small tweaks that would improve a bit imo. On the text games view, the fanart background goes away when scrolling through the games list. Since the other info and box art is still there I'd figure the fanart should also stay there. Also, I feel the text needs to start scrolling sooner and scroll faster. 

    How are you doing that scroll bar trick on the right of the text list? That is cool. I want to steal that for a theme I'm working on.

    Love these @Dan Patrick. Thanks for facilitating this.

    One thing I noticed is that it looks like he built the Sega Genesis Mini controller instead of the original Sega Genesis controller.

    Still really amazing work, just thought I'd mention just incase he was trying to build the original but grabbed a wrong source image or something.

    You're welcome faeran. Good observation.

    Reading this https://www.reddit.com/r/SEGA/comments/ddsj2s/the_megadrive_mini_controller_v_original/ and seeing how the switch genesis controller also uses the red accents like this, I think maybe the controller you are thinking of is a different variant of the 3 button pad. I was a Nintendo/Sony kid and never had Sega back in the day so I'm not as versed in the small differences. It seems that the red accents version was the OG original. The greyscale one seems to be more common. I can ask him to make a variant of it thats this more common style. The one that he made is a real genesis pad variant though because look at this image https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sega-Genesis-Model-2-Monster.jpg . I've already recently sent him a list of a few alterations I'd like him to make on a handful of them so I can add that to his list. He's really cool about it thankfully.

    Any Chance of a amiga cd 32 a c64 or generic joystick for computer based games 

     

    I did mention to Snowway about the most loved computers. C64 and Amiga were near the top of the list. I didn't specifically mention cd32 though. I feel like he's mainly gunning for the console controllers but when most of those are done who knows.

    Hi, just to add an information: APPLE IIGS logo too is missing. Is it possible into the future to add it? I found it but only with black color so APPLE IIGS logo isn't visibile on the Neon Arcade theme :(

    And PGM2 logo too is missing.

    Many many thanks!

    I am working on a tiny extra update that adds those 2. I didn't know about PGM but I do enjoy the game Demon Front.

  8. @C-Beats The original vector artwork was not given to me. Snowway did give me the Saturn 3d controller file to so I could see how they were made. These are not SVGs though. These are Adobe Illustrator files. Saving a file with complex effects like this as an SVG ruins the effects which is why some of my logos also don't have an SVG option. I uploaded this 42mb version of my US saturn logo as an SVG https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sega_Saturn_USA_logo.svg but if you open it, a lot of the effects data was compressed and broken. It would be neat if we had all the Ai files for these but he may not want to do that. I'll keep adding whatever Snowway gives me! :) 

  9. Hey Legolas, in my 1.1 update I'm finishing up I'll add more clear steps of how/where to install these. You had good questions. In LB the platform logos aren't as prominent but are now visable. In the newest 12.15 update they can now be seen when a platform is selected, and no game is selected (if you're in the default theme at least).

    To replace the platform logo place them in Launchbox>Images>Platforms>(name of platform)>Clear Logo

    To refresh the images in Big Box, go to options, image cache and refresh the platform wheel images.

    Hey! I am new to launchbox and I LOVE your theme!

    There is one odd thing that I would love to fix.

    When I select a platform it looks correct like this:
    QQWEEtB.jpg


    a couple of seconds later the icon suddenly increases in size which looks odd.

    Can this be disabled? :)

    Hey cholzer! Glad you are getting into LB. There is a great program for creating themes called the Community Theme Creator.

     

     

    Juketsu used that to make this theme. If you download the CTC files for this theme then you can find and delete that animation or image. I know that may not be the answer you're looking for but once you load up the CTC files it's surprisingly simple to alter a couple things. Then just save it and put that new version in your themes folder. The CTC is similar Photoshop or adobe Illustrator.

  10. Almost every font I add is either Gotham (my fav), Futura, and maybe Helvetic Neue on a couple. The word "Classics" is Gotham in book weight. Gotham is a paid font but Monserrat https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Montserrat is the closest free alternative and is also nice. The main arcade logo I made uses Futura Extra Bold.

    Also a minor 1.1 update is in the works. 🤐
