  1. Do you mean what image is set, like when switching image views with controller/keyboard bindings?
  2. Yeah could be one of the betas as i've seen some weird images in one of those rows as well, like cart images instead of 3d box images.
  3. Thats strange, maybe ask Y2guru to see if he can shed his light on it.
    Amazing work as always! 🤘🕹️
  4. @PaulyC Here's a snapshot of the screen Can't remember if I changed the name of those elements or if those are the default names. Hope it helps you out.
  5. Thanks man Well even if you are busy I love your work as well, a lot of time, passion and dedication went into them! Give your son my thanks it's really appreciated what he's doing 👍 Best wishes for this year bro! I'll upload what I have here in packs upcoming hours as I deleted the project page as I won't finish it ever. Hopefully it can come of good use.
  6. Yeah you can with CTC but its been a while, i'll have a look for you tomorrow morning when i'm at the pc.
  7. Hi @Antny would it help you out if I send you the project files we started years ago? I don't think i'll ever manage to finish it.
  8. LB database doesnt have videos except for some cinematic theme videos. You'll want to use the emumovies download menu for that in the second step. If in emumovies menu there aren't any videos then they are not on their servers.
  9. Yep just click the download button at the top of this topic there's a new zip file added yesterday in v1.4.
  10. 2.5.2 - Fixed Platform wheel titles without clear logo will display text now (Thanks @Azgorath and @dreamy) - Coverflow fullscreen has a spinning box version now, but on my system it's all in slow motion, dunno how it's behaving for you guys? 2.5.1 - Fixed wheel titles without clear logo will display text now (Thanks @dreamy) 2.5 - Fixed long standing issue of options background image not scaling properly in resolutions other than 3840x2160 thanks to @C-Beats ! - Logos now use the new WheelItemTemplate so they size correctly within the arrow selector - Tweaked wheel looks (Thanks for explaining and your patience @y2guru !) also wheel logos are higher res compared to previous version - Wheels response times are faster - Text title on Wheel2GamesView, 3 and 4 is smaller for more room when longer titles, changed color to fit design and added game version field below title - Brightened wheel arrow selector images; more apparent animation - Changed wheel/search index colors to better fit design - Minor pixel sized tweakings to UI elements size and position for consistant look and feel - Wheels in text lists now have "wrap"; long titles will start on next line instead of dissapearing text - Added another WallGamesView, one with 3D boxes and one with front boxes - Changed look pop-ups thanks to and based on @y2guru 's new pop-up view in CTC 2.5 - Huge thanks to @y2guru for CTC 2.5 which made all of this possible: https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/file/2115-community-theme-creator-for-bigbox/
  11. Oh damn, thanks man! I thought I had that covered, it's hard to test as I removed a platform logo but LB automatically created a new image, i'll try with playlists then lol
  12. @legolas119 Here's how I would do it. First delete those marquees you currently have and put in the 1400 something bezels you got from this project inside the marquee directory, optionally (if you like them) you can also install those 397 generated marquees (v.1.4) for games that don't have marquees. 1. To ensure you see only marquee files in the Audit menu (more about that later) go to Launchbox/Tools/Options 2. In the options menu go to Media/Marquee Priorities and be sure to only have "Arcade - Marquee" selected, deselect all other entries within this menu like Box Front etc, this will ensure you don't have multiple image files results in the Audit column. If you like to display other images in this image category like Box Front or whatever you can later select those again in this image priority menu, but for now turn them off except for Arcade Marquee, click OK. 3. Click on your Platform in the left panel where your arcade games are stored, for me it's Arcade but I think you have named it Mame. 4. Go to Tools/Audit and choose your current Arcade/Mame platform, it'll need to load in all available data so it can take a while before the Audit menu will load, depending on how many games you have installed. 5. Now we're in the Audit menu, you'll see all kinds of useful data in columns and rows. Scroll to the right side until you see the column "Marquee Images", click the "Marquee Images" column header/title (when you click on a header it'll sort the column by amount of data), now it'll take a moment to sort the amount of marquee images you have, once you notice it has sorted the amount of marquee images you can click and hold the scroll bar indicator (on the outer right side) to quickly go up and down to see the sorted results. What you want to see is Marquee Images "0", click the most top or bottom result (depending how it sorted the titles from top to bottom) and then use the scroll bar indicator again to quickly go up or down to the location where it displays Marquee Images "1". Then hold "Shift" and click the last row before Marquee Images "1". Now you have selected all the results that display Marquee Images "0". 6. Now right click your mouse so the menu pops up, click "Download Metadata and Media" 7. Click Next in this menu, then in the next meny be sure "Search for game information etc." is selected. Next menu; Here you can select how many images you want to download per category, if you want more than 1 marquee file (I've seen entries in the database that has a low quality and a much higher quality marquee) and be able to choose which one you want to keep, make sure you up the number in: 8. Click "Check None" in the bottom button so all to download image categories are deselected and only select "Arcade Marquee". Click "Next". In this menu for Emumovies downloads also "Check None" and again only select Arcade Marquee, click next and it'll download the marquees, this can take quite some time. After that's all done you can sort the marquee image column again and see if there's still entries with 0 marquee image results. If there are it means that either no marquee exists and/or the game doesn't have a LB database ID, this you can also find out in the Audit menu if you go to the most right side result and click the header called "Launchbox Games Database ID", fields empty in this column means it has not been connected to a database ID and thus will find no images (this can answer your other question). You can make it easy for yourself and click and hold the header for LB DB ID and drag the column to the outermost left side and position it next to the "Title", once you've done that you can easily see the title next to the ID. You can click the title and a menu pops up, here you'll see the title which you can change, say for example you have "game: subtitle1 - subtitle2" and it doesn't have an ID yet you could play around with the title and leave things like ":" or "-", or if you know an alternate title for the game which may be picked up etc. But it happens that games don't have an entry in the database yet though. Well that was quite some work to explain, I hope you can figure out what I just threw at you lol Good luck!
