    Thanks man, good to hear! I was thinking of a solution (could be a stupid thought though as i'm a bit blurry atm) but an option in the download media option to scrape media from a secondary platform as in "scrape as" or something, although this could mess up ones media collection when not used properly and the fact the games are linked to a database ID. Meanwhile I'll try to upload missink logos and flyers I collected and cut out in the process.

    Meanwhile I added the clear logo to the entry of above example in the database, to keep in mind after reading the above issue.

    @Jason Carr A thing I noticed having used scraping through the full mame set importer (to get all media to create these boxes) are that a lot of games have been moved with their media to different platforms like Naomi, Model 2 etc. these games don't get scraped unless they have a copy of them still within the arcade section (which isn't always the case I think as I'm missing some media) but only the media within this arcade entry gets scraped, an example would be this Beach Spikers entry, the logo wasn't downloaded but the flyer was so I noticed something was going on, is there a way for the importer to still download these from other arcade platforms as well or a future fix in the works?

    You could try a batch image converting tool, photoshop has its image processing tool for example but there are loads out there, this way you can build a collection for a day for instance and at the end of the collecting you batch convert them. Bmp is really an outdated format, png is so much better with its smaller filesize and lossless compression, not to mention alpha transparency.

    Yes I know the feeling, once Marquee-fever hit me I transformed an entire room for it, there is no way back for you now bro haha

    There is a lot of work to be done (what have I begun lol), many corrections needed, covers missing or wrong covers etc. I can't leave errors alone when I see it (terrible OCD) Here is an example of one special game that doesn't have any promo material online so I put something together for Galaxy Game (1971) to work with. I guess I'll be organizing this arcade 3d box project the same way as the arcade cabinets project and release it in letter packs so the wait of results isn't months/year from now. Hope you like this ode to a very special and beautiful cabinet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_Game

    I agree, some times you just have to play and check/research games and it's marquee through launchbox in a quick way, would be great if it could be added as an optional thing one day. But at this point there is so much work for him to be done, gotta be patient.
  12. Mr. RetroLust
    yep here it is, the video that made me get a marquee screen
  13. Mr. RetroLust
    Lol, you mean the marquee images? In bigbox settings there are options to choose your secondary display and show the marquee images, theres a tutorial on this on the launchbox youtube channel if im not mistaken, very easy to set up.

    It is foolish to be certain of things that are completely subjective.

    I tried to make my own Arcade neon sign by ordering a DIY EL wire kit.... Good lord what a waste of money, I friggin' love the product now. Theres so much wrong with it that I don't know where to begin, most of all the constant high pitch beep is very soothing, or if you want more soothing you can let it blink or blink faster which means beeping fast or faster, loving it. Gotta find a way to put it to good use now, maybe I should put it under my pillow while I sleep.

    I'm doing a lot of research through launchbox by going to different titles and reading their data a lot, I love the fact that you can type a letter to quickly browse through the lists which I do in windows explorer and itunes as well, I don't know if it is hard to program but it would be even faster browsing if you could type the second or even the third following letter in sequence like you can in windows and itunes. At the moment I'm using the search function which works really well as well but when closing the search term you'll be back at the top of a list, so maybe if you can go back to where your position before the search was it would be awesome as well. ?

    Everything is going smoothly! I'll be busy with this upcoming weeks, will sort the boxes by company logo manually and sort them like this as I have to check them 1 by 1 anyhow, will keep you all up to date once I have something nice to show. Thanks everyone for helping me on the way \m/
  21. Mr. RetroLust
    You guys are the greatest, thank you so much for always providing help guys, you don't know (or probably do lol) how much of an effort and time saver this is.
  22. Mr. RetroLust
    Awesome!!! Yes please Thanks dudes!
  23. Mr. RetroLust
    Oh @neil9000 one last question(s), I guess I can just start a new platform and name it "temporary" and do the full mame importer here so I don't mess anything up in my existing arcade platform media? Do I really need the newest mame for it to correspond well with the full mame importer? I have mame 0.198 installed at the moment but I guess I can just drag this folder to another place and put it back in place after the import fase right?
  24. Mr. RetroLust
    Dude, really! Bro-Hugs for you!!! ?? Thanks man, so happy with this! Gonna try this out first thing tomorrow

    Thanks for the explanation Jason, I really love bezels but if it eats too much performance it would take away the fun of playing a game. Here are my answers: How important is it to you for the startup screen to fade into the game? Is it worth the performance sacrifice to you while playing the game? Personally I don't need or use transitions or fades because of performance, but as long as it's an optional thing I'm all for it. How important is it to you to use bezels? Are they worth the performance sacrifice to you? Very important, but if it means stuttering games and input lag I won't use the feature. Mame and retroarch work very well but I guess thats because its build in if I understand correctly? What features are you most looking for with startup screens? No ideas on this What features are you most looking for with pause screens? Read manuals, browse the images scraped from launchbox database like instruction images, flyers and covers (Being able to zoom in on images to see some smaller details is something I really like to see), being able to play, skip, pause sound files like music or (arcade) ambience sound files.
