Durandahl Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Is there any way to turn off the 3D model and go back to a .png? I use the angles boxes so the new 3D model looks awful as it fills in the transparency with black. I use the emulationstation theme so the cover flow never comes into the play and the 3D boxes redundant. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM2_uk Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I want this as well. I cant stand the rotating box. Its not good when scrolling through your games. I posted this on another thread but not had a response. I tried to go back to 12.16 but its gives me an error so re-installed 13 to get it working again. Hopefully they post a quick update so we can turn it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durandahl Posted November 21, 2022 Author Share Posted November 21, 2022 Just thought I'd attach an image of the issue. I think the tech behind the 3d is very impressive but it's not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need to remap your controller bindings inside of LaunchBox and Big Box though after doing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you removed 3D Box from the Front Image group you wouldn't see those black area's around the box. If you change your image priorities though you will need to delete your image cache and let it repopulate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've reported it on the github but can I just double check I am doing it correctly. I try and install 12.16 from the updates folder to the same location 13 is installed. That is the correct way isn't it? Requested value 'BigBoxRotateModelDown' was not found.

C-Beats Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 @DM2_uk down grade your installation and then with LaunchBox closed navigate to \\LaunchBox\Data and delete the InputBindings.xml file and you can start it back up. Doing so DOES clear your controller mappings in both LaunchBox and Big Box though so you will want to remap them after the fact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petey212 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 is there honestly no on/off switch? I know some will like it but I prefer just the plain 2d image myself. I don't really want to downgrade as that's my only gripe with the latest release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gustavus Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) Is there really no option to turn off the 3D models? It shouldn't be mandatory to have them...I feel like its extra taxing on my PC and made the scrolling slower. I just prefer the nice 2D images (its how I've always had my emulators) Please with a future update, have an option to turn them off Edited December 17, 2022 by Gustavus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, I'm using the "Unified Lives" theme and the 3D models aren't appearing on the screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pomod Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Will the 3D box be turned off in 13.1? Or at least the flip function and rotation can be deactivated? Improvement: Added a setting to enable or disable 3D models in Game Details Improvement: Added a setting to enable or disable 3D models in CoverFlow views Don't want the box to be accidentally rotated by joystick. Or what does those changelog notes mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or what does those changelog notes mean? Remove the controller bindings for the rotations if you don't want them to be. Changelog means there is a setting that can be used to tell the view to use the old way or the new way of showing those views. The old way makes it a static image.

Durandahl Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 Apologies for reviving a dead topic but is there an option for the 3D boxes (which have grown on me!) to auto rotate? If it's theme specific that might be the issue as I exclusively use emulationstation and it hasn't been updated in ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's theme specific that might be the issue as I exclusively use emulationstation and it hasn't been updated in ages. Not at the moment. I'd have to review that code to see if it's something that could be accomplished via animation or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durandahl Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 Defintely nothing to lose sleep over! But might be a cute addition if themes allow it. Thanks for the prompt reply in any case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
