Sinclair ZX Spectrum - Platform Theme Video [16:9] View File Sinclair ZX Spectrum - Theme Video [16:9] Recorded based on theme created by Gene from Hyperspin Attraction Many thanks to the creator of the original Hyperspin Attraction theme Submitter Benjam Submitted 03/09/2023 Category Platform Theme Videos  

Hello! I started setting up LB for the first time this week, and all but two of my systems have imported as expected. After I import Commodore 64 and Sinclair ZX Spectrum the copying of files and scanning for metadata goes as expected, but the platform is never created. I don't see them on my platform list or when I go to Manage Platforms. All the games are in my LaunchBox/Games folder for the respective platforms but there is no evidence of the platform in LB's UI. I have not allowed all of the metadata and images to download completely as I am importing several platforms and don't want to wait that long, could that be what is causing the issue? Like I said, these are the only two platforms I am having issues with, but I have not allowed any platform to fully download metadata and images yet. In my source folder for the ZX Spectrum roms each game has a folder of 5-6 individual flies but when I import to LB all files seem to get mixed up into a single folder. Does this mean that each file for each game is being recognized as it's own game? Do I need to convert each game folder to a single file of some sort before I import? Is there a way to tell LB to recognize each folder as a single game instead of each file? I have several filetypes in my Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games folder in the LB Games folder. .$b .asm .dsk .fdi .jsw .mgt .rom .scl .sna .tap .trd .tzx .z80 .zxs All of my C64 files are .tap. I have already ensured that I have a core loaded in Retroarch as the emulator for both of these platforms. Any help you can offer would be extremely appreciated!

Lassiveran's Sinclair ZX Spectrum Media Pack View File Here is the start of my Sinclair ZX Spectrum Media Pack. On the road to 1.0 I will continue to expand the media with additional Box Fronts. Version 0.1 can be considered a small community set for neil9000 who requested I work on the ZX Spectrum next. I worked off his XML file to Find Original Box Front Art to Replace Art of another system used in Database Find Original Box Front Art to Replace Advertisement Front being used as a Box Front in Database Find a Better Original Box Front then currently used in Database Created a Box Front Reconstructed using another system Box front and changed to represent Spectrum When no Box Front source could be found I utilized my Themed Box Front. As you can see in the picture of my workflow I do take the time to give you the best possible replacement to fill the missing Box Art. The road to 1.0 will have me go through roughly 4600 games from the official list. I am not a professional graphic artist, I have been learning a few tricks as I have been going along to streamline the process. I welcome positive feedback and constructive criticism. After version one is released I do plan on moving onto Themed Clear Logos, and to take any requests to fill a fan favorite box art I may have missed. I appreciate the hard work everyone has done do far making launch box a great aesthetic front end and this is my way of giving back to the community. I look forward to feedback.
