Need help finding fanart

Hello everyone,

New user here. I downloaded launchbox about two weeks ago and after playing around with it for a few minutes I quickly realized this is frontend I have been looking for. I have dabbled with others but this one is simply the best. I instantly purchaseI am hoping the community is just as great as the software and someone could help me out. Here is my question (actually two questions):

1. I am looking a particular set of fanart backgrounds that I could use per platform on the game selection screen. I see them in some of the newer videos that Jason makes. They are also in the theme CleanBG but they have consoles on them and I want the ones with no consoles. The backgrounds just consist of a wall of small game boxes pertaining to that console. It is like a big collage of many little game boxes. I am looking for as many as I could get as I would like one for each platform when at the game selection screen.

2. I only have a few platforms setup at the moment. The first 5 I did all have a platform overview section on my main screen in Big Box with information. The last two platforms I added (virtual boy and game boy) have no information underneath the overview section on my main screen. Do these console have information and maybe it didn't download or is there anyway to add my own? They have platform details, such as CPU, Sound and so on, but no overview info.

Hopefully I did not post this in the wrong section. Thanks in advance!

Hi cormegaman, welcome to the forums! :)

1. I know that @niglurion has uploaded them a while ago, but I couldn’t find them after a quick search. So maybe somebody else or niglurion himself can help you out with that.

2. You can edit any info field for your paltforms. Go to Tools –> Manage Platforms and edit any platform you want.

@cormegaman If you look in the download section in the CleanBG theme he has a version of the theme that is called CleanBGnosystems that you can download and after you download it and open up the zipfile the fanart that you are looking for with no systems are in the CleanBGnosystems\Images\Platforms\Fanart folder.

@CriticalCid Thank you so much for the helpful information.  I saw the notes section under Manage Platforms but I didn't think that was where the Overview information went. I thought it was for something else. It makes send now that the Notes weren't scraped from the Launchbox DB for those two platforms because they don't have a description there. I just wanted to make sure there was nothing wrong on my end. I am happy to be able to add this information there so there isn't a big empty space. I am using your theme (with the horizontal wheel) and its truly effin boss.

@kmoney Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I have downloaded CleanBG last week but I must have overlooked the other file. Hopefully there will be more made for the obscure systems that are missing.

Both of you guys have been really helpful. Thank you for taking the time to help me out. I do have one more question and wanted to know if either of you or someone else could help. Is there a repository to download Baker's platform intro videos? I am using the option in Launchbox and it downloads them but I am having some issues. I see on his forum post that there are 2 SNES videos (one with the North American console and one with the Super Famicom console). I want the video with the North American SNES but when I download the video, its the one the the Super Famicom in it. Also, I see on his same forum post that there are other platform videos created but they haven't downloaded for me. One example is the TurboGrafx-16. Nothing downloads for that platform. I changed the name in Launchbox to NEC TurboGrafx-16 thinking it may download it under that name but no luck.
