I give up, hehe. Found how to enable logs, did it, and as soon as I launched it, worked fine... Disabled the logs and tried again, and now is working fine. Goes back and forth between views without any problems. I am almost certain that it has to do with the image cache or similar, but don't know. For sure is something on my side, not on the theme itself. I'll send the zipped folder, no problem, but feel free to disregard it as I don't want to waste your time with something like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 Lol, that's great to hear. I hope it stays that way! I just tested your Data folder and it seemed to work fine on my end, so it's hard to find out what the issue was... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it happens again I will see if the logs show something in regards. I'll stop flooding the topic with this matter. Keep up your awesome job Cid. Being able to use this theme is like using both HS and BB at the same time, so it makes me happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondgeezer Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 @CriticalCid hi there just wanted to say your theme is excellent and was wondering if you had any plans for the marquee to be able to change various different marquees for different arcade machines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so the themes will switch marquee images as long as you have an image file in the "Arcade - Marquee" folder of each platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charco Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 That is a cool idea. I have mostly all of the recorded Hyperspin Unified theme videos for my arcade games though and I don't think they look great inside these cabinet images as the gameplay is even smaller. I use fullscreen view instead. If I was to use the normal Emumovies video snaps though I would definitely like this marquee idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 While I like this marquee idea I don’t have any immediate plans to do something like that due to various reasons. Sorry for that guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can already find matching Unified Platform videos for most of the new platforms on EmuMovies. The few missing ones will be added soon! @RetroHumanoid also did videos for the collections featured in the Add-on package and they can be already downloaded through the Platform/Playlist video downloader inside LaunchBox, so go and grab them! As little bonus are the Clear Logos for the collections also included in the Add-on package. You still have to create the playlists yourself though. List of all 95 featured playlists in the Add-on package: Spoiler 2-Player Games 4-Player Games 007 Collection Action & Adventure Games Aliens Collection Avengers Collection Batman Collection Beat Em Ups Board & Card Games Bomberman Collection Bonk Collection Castlevania Collection Classics Contra Collection Crash Bandicoot Collection Disney Collection Donkey Kong Collection DOOM Collection Double Dragon Collection Dragon Ball Collection Dragon Quest Collection Dungeons and Dragons Collection Fatal Fury Collection Fighting Games Final Fantasy Collection Flying Games Frogger Collection G.I.

The reason for this is to provide a single curated and sorted source for all Unified related artwork. I hope that quite a few of you want to create and share your own work for this theme and this will hopefully avoid that everything gets cluttered across the download section and this thread. If you want to share your artwork with the community feel free to post it in this thread and I will see to include in the next update. Huge thanks to @RetroHumanoid for creating so much artwork to get the first release of the Add-on package up and going! How to install the Add-on package: Just extract the contents of the .zip file into your LaunchBox folder. Note: You have to create the proper playlists for the collections yourself! What gets included in the Add-on package? The theme itself will always only include artwork for Platforms and Playlists that also have a Unified Platform video available on EmuMovies in order to provide a seamless experience. Everything else goes into the Add-on package. More generic playlists like franchises, series, genres, etc. are also only included in the Add-on package to avoid that the theme gets unnecessarily blown up it in its size. The same goes for everything that differs too much from the default Unified style. And finally some updated screenshots: @zetec-s-joe I hope you like the playlists surprise 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kondorito Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I saw in a topic in these forums a long time ago an arcade image, and I tweaked it to my liking, so that it holds the video and the marquee for each game, and that I will be overriding with in the default Arcade bg for the Unified theme (I might add a generic marquee to it until marquees are enabled in the theme hehe). Mock-up: Made the sticks balltop red and blue because that is what I have, but can be recolored or changed to battop. I also added scanlines and reflection to the video screen and the marquee (can be removed as well). If somebody wants the psd, let me know and I will gladly share it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
