JaysArcade Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I recently set up a bunch of comics as a platform in Bigbox. All the comics are in CBR or CBZ format. I use CDisplayEx as the reader. Works very well with an arcade cabinet using a keyboard controller (ipac4) but I understand CDisplayEX may have issues with game controllers. The clear logo can be found in the downloads section linked below. The video is some stuff I copied from Youtube. Music in the video is from OCRemix - Apex 2015: This Is the Moment - Track 09 Girl from Another World (Ultra Street Fighter IV) [Neblix] . I'm sure someone with more talent than me could make a much nicer video, but for now its a nice filler for the platform. Since I made this for personal use and didn't ask permission for the source files, I won't be able to share the video, but to be honest, It was really pretty simple to make if you have any video editing skillz at all. Will I actually read comics on my cabinet? Probably not, LOL 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayjay Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Im planning on doing this at some point.... eventually. Was also thinking about maybe... if playing a system like nes or ms etc, when pause is pressed, have a comic open, unpause and it closes... See how it goes, might look taky. Anyway, looks good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Now all we need is someone to write a scrapper to ComicVine's API that works with LB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaysArcade Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 That would be pretty cool. What exactly would it scrape? Characters, Series info, Cover art, stuff like that? For my cover art, I used Comic Rack with a plugin that batch extracts the first page of each archive. You have to edit the script slightly so it renames each extracted image the same as the source archive. I found it to be extremely useful for grabbing the cover art for all those comics without going into each one manually. http://comicrack.cyolito.com/forum/13-scripts/3052-extract-only-1st-page-in-archive-cover-page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
