Neon Deluxe Arcade - Big Box Theme Huge thanks goes out to @Hexxxer for his amazing theme (FutureState) framework and controls (HexControls.dll), without his work I couldn't have made this theme. ----------------------------------------------------- INTRO This theme is a sequel to my previous Futurestate Neon Deluxe theme, it looks a lot like the theme but has some features that the prequel had not; like embedded fonts (no need to install fonts, thanks to @Jason Carr) and much more, you just have to see it for yourself. My main goal with this theme is to create a virtual arcade building kinda like 'New Retro Arcade'. Neon Deluxe Arcade is a series of themes and elements, if you like you can download these to accompany the complete theme: Neon Deluxe Arcade - Launchbox Theme Neon Deluxe Arcade - Startup Theme (Street) Neon Deluxe Arcade - Startup Theme (Inside) Mr. RetroLust's Realistic Retroarch Bezels (Same style > Dimmed lit retro gaming) This theme uses a softer version of Marquee screen FX, if you like there is more choice at Realistic Marquee Monitor FX Transparent background Mame PCB's (circuit boards): Over here You can find transparent background arcade cabinets here at Arcade Cabinets Project 2.0 Video of early version: Video of v2.0 with a new view: ----------------------------------------------------- INSTALLATION Download the theme from Big Box's theme manager or download the zip file here and extract the content to Launchbox/Themes/NeonDeluxeArcade/ You might need to unblock the .DLL's in the plugin folder for them to work properly. To make the placeholder work which shows the Cabinets/Advertisement Flyer - Back/Box Back in the screenshots it first needs some changes in your image priority settings within Launchbox. As the cabinets don't have their own placeholder to be coded in a theme I used the Cart 3D placeholder as I figured most people will only use one cart view or can set Cart 3D in image priorities to Cart Front. You can control a lot to your liking within image priorities, as long as you remember it's Cart 3D for this placeholder. My setup in image priorities within Launchbox options: TIPS 1. This theme uses images and video pretty heavy, it could run slower on older systems. I recommend doing the following to speed up Big Box greatly: Uncheck all Background Images in launchbox/settings/image priorities Set all transitions to "None" in BigBox settings Use the Clean Up media tool in launchbox/tools/Clean Up Media... (this can really speed up lists with thousands of games and duplicate media) Let Launchbox cache your images 2. This theme is probably only fit for use on a 16:9 aspect ratio. 3. If you use a 4K display you probably have to set the Windows dpi settings to 200% in order to keep the layout intact. Hope you like and enjoy! ?

Yep confirmed, eveything checked does download em all, thanks like always @neil9000 ??

Yes it would lol, I feel like Stimpy a lot.

Thanks i'll try it out, but wouldnt it work the same either way when everything is checked or unchecked?

I'm having a problem (or rather my brain does not compute, that happens a lot lol "computer says no"), when scraping I like it to download each and every image from the database so I can choose afterwards what I like to keep. This worked in the past as far as I'm aware of but now I noticed i'm missing images, I know something changed in region priority settings not to long ago, so my region priority settings are all blank so no priority is given to any region (I figure then everything would be downloaded). Most images will be downloaded correctly but I noticed the proper front covers for the following NES games where not being downloaded (only some japanese versions of the covers, not the euro or north america covers) Duck Hunt Excitebike Popeye Super Mario Bros. Super Mario Bros. 3 Wild Gunman Wrecking Crew It really puzzles me as they are all classic nintendo games, why does it happen to these I wonder or is it just that I can remember what they looked like back in the day? @Jason Carr @neil9000 Hope you can help me out, am I missing something in how the priority settings and database work, or is there an issue? Thanks for reading ?
