How to customize CriticalZone to look like this YouTube video

Recommended Posts

Just got BigBox and customizing themes is more difficult than I was expecting as a lot of the menu options are pretty vague to me

I found this YouTube video of someone who seems to just be cycling through the default views of CriticalZone and he enters a really cool layout here:

Is all that extra artwork additional things he's put into the theme? Because it seems very unique to all the other default views for CriticalZone and I can't seem to recreate the same layout he is showcasing in that section

Actually that whole thing is a video, they are recorded videos of Hyperspin and are available from emumovies with a paid subscription. They are also only available for Arcade games i believe.

Neil is right, those are so called Video Themes. You can directly download them inside LaunchBox if you have a paid EmuMovies premium subscription. But you can also get them manually from the EmuMovies website with a free account and put them in the following folder: “.\LaunchBox\Videos\PLATFORM_NAME\Theme\”

MAME: https://emumovies.com/files/file/2162-hd-mame-video-themes-hyperspin-style-4x3-pack/

The Video Themes cover most of all arcade games but for consoles there’s much less available. For example, SNES has around 250 videos available, which means that they only cover a third of the whole library.

Afaik MAME is the only Video Theme set that you can get in the HD version as a free user. All other Video Themes are only available in HQ quality for them and require premium if you want to get the HD versions.

Got it, okay, that makes sense -- I know which view he's using to pull that off then

 

I don't have too many games in my build so I might actually try to just add them manually

 

Thanks for the replies!

 

EDIT: Ah, it seems I can't just download specific games individually but have to download the entire 22gb pack of all of Hyperspin's videos to get the games I'm looking for

Oh well, I got time lol
