Question about Unified Redux theme


shubs

Recommended Posts

I’m running the Unified Redux theme and am using Vertical Wheel 4 for scrolling through games.

Why do some games just show some full screen gameplay footage but other games have the cool fly-in of the clear logo and some images?

What do I need to do so that all games have that fly-in?

Your likely seeing the difference between a "Gameplay" video and a "Theme" video. The ones with the fly-in and some images as you put it are actually full screen videos with all that artwork in the video itself. Your games that just have the plain old game play videos means you need to download "Theme - Video" if the game has one available. Not all games do.

Ok I see, thanks.

It confused me because like 80% of my Sega Genesis games are missing a video theme (I don’t have a big collection). I thought maybe it wasn’t downloading them for some reason, but I guess they just don’t exist for those games

Update: I found some (not all) game video themes for Sega Genesis on the LB downloads. Shouldn’t LB have downloaded those for me, or do I need to go manually find missing videos?

Not if they are on this forum. LB does not download from the forum. Theme videos come from EmuMovies. That image I posted is from the EmuMovies tab during game import. LB does not host game/game theme videos.

So you need a paid EmuMovies account to download them from within the LB UI. Otherwise you have to manually download them and place them in your videos folder.

Gotcha, appreciate the help. I have an EmuMovies account, I’ll have to hunt around to fill in the missing videos.

It would be cool if LB could somehow auto-generate video themes for missing games by utilizing the video snap, clear logo, and some images that are already downloaded for each game.

Seeing the full screen gameplay videos kind of ruins that view for me. It kind of makes me want to remove those games from my library so that every game has a video theme.
