BlockABoots Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Since Launchbox seems unable to do a simple task of scraping just PAL Megadrive box art with out also donwload USA Genesis (when i specifically tell it not to download any US boxart what so ever) i would like to know what the easiest way to add my own complete PAL Megadrive box art that i already have?. To say im a bit disappointed with this PAID product and its inability to do a simple task like this where FREE scapper programs are able to do this task is beyond me!?

Lordmonkus Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 You can simply drop the art in the appropriate folder: \LaunchBox\Images\Sega Genesis\Box - Front\Europe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlockABoots Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) Does it have to be named a specific way? Edited December 4, 2018 by BlockABoots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 It should be named very similar to the rom file or the game name in LB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlockABoots Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 so it doesnt have to be exactly the same then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 It doesn't have to be an exact name but it should be close, of course the further off of the name you are the more likely you are to run into an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlockABoots Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 Ok thanks. How come Launchbox doesn't seem to have a full PAL set of box art of the Megadrive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Maybe because they haven't been uploaded, the database is purely volunteer driven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlockABoots Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 Oh so i can upload the pack i have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 You can contribute yeah. Or you can just upload the pack itself to the downloads section here: https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/category/18-game-box-art/ @Robin55 has been uploading a lot of great media packs, I used his Saturn and Sega CD packs because they are much better than what is on the database. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @Lordmonkus ! I must get around to uploading those Saturn Boxes, The Sega CD ones are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin55 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Actually @BlockABoots I'm going to take this project on now. There is a set on the Hyperspin forums that I made as my very first dabble into media art but I am not happy with them and they are not technically my work as all I did was change the angle of someone else's work. Please do not upload to the database as I will do this once the project is finished. Here is the Hyperspin ones anyway: https://hyperspin-fe.com/files/file/13519-sega-mega-drive-3d-box-pack-pal/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlockABoots Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Ok, ill hold off. Will you by chance be doing PAL style box art for Games that didnt get a PAL release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin55 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 No, just Eu covers man, I don't think anyone has ever really done that from my experience, unless they made their own style covers from scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlockABoots Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 Yeah i guess the older black with white grid would be difficult but the newer Blue style boxart would be easier as you just need the main art work from the US release as the box designs are very similar. Guess it depends how many US titles there are that didnt get a PAL release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin55 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 It's not that it would be difficult, It just wouldn't be proper is all. Most content creators go for accuracy as much as possible unless we are doing our own thing from scratch. There are around 540 EU games to my knowledge and over 700 US games.

Robin55 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 This project is finished @BlockABoots I have made and uploaded the box art to the database for all 540 games. just give it about 48 hours before the database will go live with the new changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
