Hello :)

So I am starting a little project for myself adding some more games to my setup. Alot of this are games i played as a kid and have great memoeris of. Including the best flash games, openbor and mugen games. I love BigBox and the whole idea of having ALL video games under one roof. In need of new emulators to come out i want to add more games  to my setup aswell, to ''save'' them for the forever future. As i started this project it soon became to realize this is a looong project. There are litterty 1000s of games out there that is not easily added to a big box setup. So to get some inner motivation to keep going, i have decided to try to get the whole thing out to the community along the way. This is a project that will take time. I will have to learn to use photoshop etc. This is to make custrom box art and clear logos.

Current plans and systems :

Web browser games; I am planning to release different games pack with about 50-100 games each. The zip packs will include the ''emulators''(Swiff for flash games, UniPlayer for Unity games) and the game ''roms. I am also going to include Game Controller profiles for all games. This will be for the program ''Pinnacle Controller Mapper''. The reason for this is its the only program that can auto load profiles in the background. I also need to make all game meta data including; Custom box cover, video snaps, game info, clear logos. And i need to add the games from my Game Collections to the games DB so that the game files will scrape all data automaticly. The prosses of adding games have slowly begin, here are examples of games that will be playable fullscreen and with controller support; http://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/platforms/games/85

MUGEN; Another great ''platform'' that has alot of fun games that is perfect for every arcade. Here i will need to make custrom box art, video snaps, clear logos. Maybe something of this exist? I know people had mugen in hyperspin. Also need to add games to Games DB for auto scraping.

OPENBOR: Same as MUGEN, alot of fun games that i want to have in my bigbox when im 80 years. Lol. Anyway, here i also need to add custrom box art, video snaps and clear logos. And add games to the games DB. Maybe clear logos etc. exists from hyperspin?

DOS: Make controller profiles for games from the exoDoS package. Hopefully one day have pretty much all games auto load controller profile when started :) Seamless coach gaming ftw! Would be nice to fill in clear logos, box art and video snaps where needed aswell.

PSP minis\Wiiware: Show these two awesome platforms some Games DB love so that everything auto scraps for everyone.
