custom cabinets for bigbox

[tallpr24]

Hello,

was wondering if they are additional addon packs for bigbox that will give the type of flare like coinops next or hyperspin?

BigBox has plenty of options to give it its own flare as well as the look from those front ends. 

BigBox Themes

Unified, Unified Redux, and Unified Refried offer wheel views similar the hyperspin.

thanks for your response.  i have downloaded both Unified and Unified Redux but when i go into each platform the font and text for each game does not look like the ones in the demo video of the theme. for example.  When i go into mame, in the video each game has a special font showing off some nice flare for each game.  On my system its just plain font.  How can i make it look the same?

I think you are referring to the game clear logos, those are not fonts they are images. It sounds like you are just using the "text list view" which will have the games in plain text only, you need to switch the view in the theme you are using.

hmm, were do i go in bigbox to change that?

You can also go to controls for keyboard and map a button to change/switch view, then when in the theme press that button to cycle through the views.

[tallpr24]

but i dont see a place to switch to that view..

ok, i think i got it.  Mr. RetroLust thank you.  i took your advise .  I mapped a key for switching views and now i got what i wanted.

Good to hear, I forgot to mention you can also map a button for this for controllers in big box settings.

ianother question, is their any way to add bezels to the games when playing them? something like the photo below.  

[Retro808]

If the emulators support them, yes. Mame and Retroarch have bezel support. 

There are threads in our forum about bezels. As well as a bunch of youtube videos. 

You can look into the Bezel Project. ETA Prime did a video on it on his channel as well as doing the one on the Launchbox youtube channel.

yea, found it before you posted.  I watch all of eta primes videos.  so i downloaded the bezel project.  it downloaed all the bezels and i can see them in my retroarch folder, but they dont work when i launch the game.  I verified that the correct core is selected as per bezel project info. but the bezels wont show up.  is their a step im missing?
