    I agree, rejected all of them!

    Sweet! Do you happen to know if a plugin exists that simulates a blurred replicated border around a game screen? This could simulate light reflection on monitor bezels. I made a bezel setup some time ago which I want to expand for all consoles with different tv's and in 4K in the future. It would be great if the light reflection which I simulated in the example (blue light on the monitor borders) could be dynamically generated, this would require the bezel beneath the game screen as a backdrop though, if we could get such a plugin all my wishes for realism would be fullfilled ps I'm sending you the neogeo package soon bro, working on it!

    Thanks, glad you like it man Yes a good Gpu will speed up everything BigBox related greatly with the marquee effects included, a minimal of 8gb ram is also recommended for smooth navigation but I think you already meet that requirement. I'm surprised it works without a GPU to be honest, must be quite a powerful system already. Let me know how it worked out for you as I have a gtx-1050 myself, it works great but sometimes when it loads a marquee for the first time it can be noticed it loads a millisecond slower as it needs to do twice the work to create the total image.

    If you change the dpi settings instead of font sizes the layout will still be in tact, although 720p isn't 50% of 1080p I realized so you'll have to get the right dpi percentage. I don't have those files, I used notepad++ as well to make this.

    Glad you figured it out, have fun!

    Thanks, glad to hear you enjoy it man Have you tried changing the windows dpi settings to 50%? Seeing as my resolution is 2160p I have to set it to 200% as 1080p is 100% dpi. I'm not sure with the following tip but if you dont see any changes after changing the dpi you may try right clicking on the bigbox icon and change the dpi compatibility settings to one of the 3 options.

    You can choose the variation where it's neatly at the top end of Atari, see: https://www.consolevariations.com/atari/atari-5200/atari-5200-box-variations/
  9. Mr. RetroLust
    Yeah I'm looking through that, I also noted the copyright symbol touching the new '5200' but I trust you will make it a beautiful piece of art like always

    I think it's friggin' awesome! *wipes drool off chin*

    Thanks man, glad to see you enjoy it In order for the 3D box to show up you have to check in keyboard or joystick button mappings (within bigbox settings) which button is set to "Switch Image Type", with this you can switch the image type in that placeholder on the fly. Not sure but do note image type view is remembered for each platform so you'll probably have to set it to the right view. I see you don't have the theme's font installed btw was this on purpose? If not check out the installation instructions, should look better. The spinning disc is something that was added to the unified theme isn't it? I am not that experienced in theming yet.

    @Jason Carr I'm wondering how the mame metadata works together with LaunchboxDB and playlists. One example that confuses me is House of the Dead, (for the record I did not install the beta yet or rescraped my mame library) this game is an arcade game but it is not listed under arcade, instead it scraped (a few months ago) this game as House of the Dead 4 (rom file is hotd), I searched the game in the database and see it is listed/changed? under Sega Model 2 as a platform will this mean it will not be under arcade even with the new metadata but it will be in the new Sega Model 2 playlist but then listed as a different platform? One other question: If I delete my arcade list and playlists will all my game ratings be deleted as well?

    Looks amazing man! Segaretro is not stable over at this end as well.

    You think I should use this property with a lower value in my theme as well to speed it up or is it optimized by default? Always looking to speed the theme up as long lists with thousands of games are a bit sluggish <- Which seems logical to me but if I can speed it up further any advice is welcome

    Yep seems like the mouse is slowly developing the wearing out issue I mentioned before if it's behaving like that cross-OS. If you have another less used mouse try it out, that way you can rule out if it's hardware related. Almost all mice develop this after heavy use, funny enough it happened to me far sooner multiple times with expensive Logitech, Roccat and Microsoft mice, while this cheap mouse is outlasting it already, it's a 15 euro Corsair (edit: It starts with a C lol, it's a Coolermaster actually) compared to 40 to 60 euro mice I used before. I use side buttons a lot for quick copy and paste functions, the funny thing is you can program these buttons with freeware drivers so you dont have to buy expensive mice for this task alone (which is why I did before).

    @Jason Carr @Lordmonkus I just had an update again with version 8.5 but there is no difference in the change log, know what's up?

    Someone mentioned the gpu is quite important for smooth navigation in BigBox as well, so it could be that part which is slower maybe? For me my mame list (6500 games atm) is slower than lists with under or around hundred games and my system is sufficient enough, just gotta clean out the mame folder and its immense size of media files in a slow pace, i've downloaded all media in triple amount: from launchbox, emumovies and seperate media packs all thrown in lol so its no wonder it's seeking and sorting quite some data lol good luck with the mancave <- its the best thing ever ??
