    You know the other prob I just ran into? his sugestion with all the buttons on there will confuse players because what about buttons that are lit white? Umk3 is what i'm working on right now and its gonna be confusing to have one with a logo next to it and look the same as a turned off one
  3. RedHoodRobin64
    Ya I had to pull up your video a few times. Il get the hang of it in no time. Im not quite sure how to intensify the shadow or lighting. It truthfully does not bother me any. But i'm sure it would help. Your video has been super helpful
  4. RedHoodRobin64
    Ok I think I figured it out. Is this far enough? and does the logo pop enough now?

    Well very much appreciated for the feed back. That's exactly what I'm goin for. I want it to be inviting for all. So I shall open my mind set. I had SrfrBoyBobby make me a templet to toggle buttons on and off. I literally just taught my self with the help of him how to run photo shop for the first time so still all new to me but I can try to adjust where the buttons are sitting as you suggested. Here is some photos of other control panels other players may have. I can incorporate all of these into the videos if any one wants them. Would you have any idea how to add the shadow or outer glow? That's a great idea! Just not quite sure how
  6. RedHoodRobin64
    Fair enough, I think although it is dependent per person, I want something that is easy for all. So I'm gonna hear you out. take a look at the updated photo and see what you think. Video is updated as well
  7. RedHoodRobin64
    Your absolutely right. This does look better. I will edit power point video with improved image and fix the end transition
  8. RedHoodRobin64
    Thank you, I don't necessarily agree that players would get confused with top and bottom as the controls are lit. That being said I didn't think to toggle just the color off. That would fill the image better. I also think I need to re trim the last character bio. I tested it on the marquee and goes back to the arcade marquee way to fast. I may have it go into a black slide just so the last character pixles out like the other 3. So I will give the color less buttons a whirl and see how it goes

    Here is the new and improved video. Would love feed back 1357346855_AlienVsPredator.mp4

    I'm trying to unlock the full potential of dynamic marquees
  11. RedHoodRobin64
    The goal more or less is to just have something jaw dropping to look at. Some games have really complex controls. Big example is also the special moves in mortal kombat or MVC2. I really dont have a solid idea entirely. Im just enjoying where this ride is taking me. I got another concept one thats alot better thats almost done
  12. RedHoodRobin64
    Ok ausome, il throw some more concepts out in a few. I wanted to do the real controls right next to it but mame artwork is all over the place. Do you think i should take out the intro with the aliens invading the city? That could cut alot of time out of the video
  13. RedHoodRobin64
    Here Is My first Really strong attempt at this. I'm Really happy with it. But the Pic I edited feels a little empty. It looks amazing but I feel its just missing something. Just cant put my finger on it. (Edit) Crap my buttons seem to be set up wrong compared to when its showing off each characters moves. Il fix that 628851987_AlienVsPredator.mp4

    Thank you, mental health is a great thing to know about. As long as I got the arcade and the lunchbox community to bounce on when there's a rough day, I don't see me ever goin back to those days.

    Ok I think I will stick with PowerPoint. I was really surprised the amount of options it has for this. I really think the different transitions have a bunch of potential. Finally have some time to try out your tips and templet you made with the video. So so incredibly helpful. Need some advice though. If i'm going to use power Point to show the marquee image of a arcade game, or the box art of a nes game ect... Should I add the logo of the game one the templet you showed me? Or is that over kill? Should I Include original controls? I had little time to play today. Tomorrow I'm goin all in on this. I also plan to do eclipse and non eclipse just so anyone who wants there cabnet to match is happy. This first example is for super mario bros for nes

    So Il kinda give you a sneak peak of what ive been planning to do with the marquee. A lot of arcade games have amazing control instructions in the demo screen. This is one of my favorites, I used obs studio to record this demo screen and trimmed it up into snip bits. I thought it would be really cool to use the tools you gave me to say what the controls do, combine that with the marquee image, videos I trimmed, and make a really cool marquee video that's fun to watch. I gotta head out in a sec but gotta say your video could not have been explained better. Theres just one more thing for me to learn. Video editing. Im not sure if I should just use power point or if I should look for a video editing software 922987264_AlienVsPredatorPredatorWarior.mp4 1068828773_AlienVsPredatorPredatorHunter.mp4 971158623_AlienVsPredatorMaj.D.Schaefer.mp4 1774861817_AlienVsPredatorLt.LinnKurosawa.mp4 354084253_AlienVsPredatorIntro.mp4

    Dam straight. I use to just play games and tone out the noise. Was really unhealthy. I got non epileptic phycosis seizures and ptsd from my child hood. Baisicly if I got upset, or even to excited, Id go into a violent seizure. after having that for 10 years, therapy taught me to rewire my brain and I have gone a year with out them now. Launchbox was a huge part of that. Instead of stressing out and goin into one, Id say lets bang out some lights, or lets fix some art work or what ever I need to do on here. It never ends but I love it cause it just keeps growing and growing into an amazing project. Its Just so much more predictive then playing and you got something to show off and be so proud of. Its done wonders for me. Im glad you see the light. Took me a long time to find it. Hope nothing for the best for you

    I just wanted to say thank you for the pinball logos and the ones you made a few days ago. I had a user on here teach me how to use photo shop so I thought id give the logos a try
  19. RedHoodRobin64
    Wow man I owe you big time. Very amazing stuff! I'm gonna post some concepts on here. Its been a crazy week here and I wont truly be able to sit down and do this till friday, but I truly am so grateful. I have really really bad anxiety, had a very rough child hood, and your really helping me get out of my bubble. Thank you so much for all the help!!! This is gonna be so amazing

    For me it is memories of yesterday. It had this rusted metal stuff all over the place that i wasnt crazy for. So in its theme folder i removed the rust metal photos it was pulling and it leave this beautiful clean look that I still use to this day. The video on here was used to show a steam issue that I was showing off when you boot your first steam game on pc boot. But this shows off the theme none the less 20220219_124357.mp4

    Ya im sorry I couldnt be more help. Best of luck to ya
  22. RedHoodRobin64
    I got a plan to be more helpful for you. I'm gonna mess with power point. I got a wonderful idea. So you said the box art and back and cart are too close. I'm wondering like your simpson's video on the marquee that blew my mind, If I use power point to have it transition from a box art page on one screen. Then have one dedicated to the controls, and use obs studio to record it. It would allow for the pannel designs and stuff you did to not get so cluttered and have it sit on a page for say 15 seconds or so then transition to the controls
  23. RedHoodRobin64
    So my p1 button is a, p2 button 1 is h. So i was just saying youve helped me so much, i figured if you hadnt already, that I could color code some systems for you and share the color codes. I dont mind redoing my buttons anyways. Wana clean it up
  24. RedHoodRobin64
    Oh also how do you have your buttons labled in led blinky? Did you use the alphabet or is it p1 button 1 ect.. Figured the way i could make it up to you is color code some systems you dont have done yet or something
  25. RedHoodRobin64
    Well just know hard work is not goin unoticed. You have been a huge help for me. Please take your time. I just know that would be easier then trying to drag and line things up right with every game. Im gonna play around with some designs for above the controls. May just look beter with a logo. Il try the spacing too
