Merovingio Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 It is an honor to be the first user to comment on one of the best BigBox themes. I'm using it and I find the quality and level of detail it achieves amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darreldearth Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Does it support box/cart art? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necropath Posted December 14, 2022 Author Share Posted December 14, 2022 @darreldearthI'm not sure why you would want to use box / cart art with this theme. It uses Fan Art Backgrounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamester1701 Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Will this updated theme work on a square monitor? I’m currently using a 4:3 Coinops theme on a square monitor which looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

necropath Posted December 15, 2022 Author Share Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) @Gamester1701 The previous version of this theme supported 4:3 (v 1.05). I don't have a 4:3 monitor or way to test it out so I can't confirm it works. I don't see why it wouldn't work though.

necropath Posted December 15, 2022 Author Share Posted December 15, 2022 @darreldearth I'll keep that in mind for a future update. I don't have the source files for this theme so implementing that would be extremely difficult at the moment. This update was created by me deleting lines of code and figuring out which each line does manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also just realized coinops redux already uses box art and cart art on seperate views lol. So if all you did was delete lines trimming the fat then maybe it's already implemented 😅. I'll check it out in a bit when I'm in front of my computer🤦♂️ Edited December 15, 2022 by darreldearth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necropath Posted December 16, 2022 Author Share Posted December 16, 2022 @darreldearthI don't think that view is in the new version since I had to rework the purpose of each view. You could take the view file from the previous version that includes the box / cart art and work it into the new version. If I get some free time, I'll try to look into it. Having the box art and cart art files loading would slow the theme down a bit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaygerbomb Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Just wanted to say this is great theme - I switched recently and love it. I like the overall look and feel of CoinOps even though I've always preferred LB/BB as a front end. This gives me the best of both worlds! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostlines Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) Love the update. One slight issue though. Game Gear videos dont seem to fit the overlay. What am I doing wrong? Edited January 11, 2023 by Ghostlines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxdgm Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Love this theme, how would I go about uploading new cab artwork from the coinops next packs? i put the pngs in that look identical in format to the ones included but they arent being picked up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybermat Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 It's very impressive! Why ALL for "Arcade" ? It' s a bit misleading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necropath Posted March 2, 2023 Author Share Posted March 2, 2023 @cybermatNot exactly sure what you are referring to. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necropath Posted March 2, 2023 Author Share Posted March 2, 2023 @BoxdgmHave you tried refreshing the images in Big Box or Launchbox? You may have the art in the wrong folder or have other art in a folder that has a higher "priority" to show up. The file names could also not be exactly named correctly. That's the best I can think of at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necropath Posted March 2, 2023 Author Share Posted March 2, 2023 @GhostlinesI never added compatibility for Game Gear games. Maybe if I ever do a future update I could fix that issue. I haven't been interested in gaming at the moment but I'm sure I'll get back into one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
