retrospace Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Hi everyone, Retrospace here. I would like to know about the possibility of having the BigBOX option to run a LoadScreen in video when running a game on a platform. For arcade cabinets, it would be perfect. I created and shared here in the Community at the link below several Splashscreen videos to make our LB even more beautiful, but there is no such native function in LB/BB for this type of content. I would like to know if it is possible and what do you think about this feature? This is my job on Community with Splascreen Video. Will be great if we can use it as Loadscreen Video on start a Game.

Retro808 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Unless I am really misunderstanding what you are asking this has been possible for several years now. We have a bunch of themes that can show a splashscreen as the game is loading showing a range of items like videos, game details, and even controller layouts. https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/category/31-startup-themes/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, a .mp4 or .mkw file as the one I´ve put as example above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made one for myself that plays the console boot up video or if a platform does not have one plays a platform specific video. If you looked through the link I first sent you would have seen someone even posted a theme they made to play startup platform videos. You can just swap your videos for the ones provided.

retrospace Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) I know about this, But I´m saying that could be good only a loadingscreen video when loding a game, without the Start Theme, with informations, and the splashscreen playing togheter. I mean, only the fullscreen of a loadingScreen with Splashcreen video . Sorry my english is WIP. @Cauptain can you help me to explain better? Thanks Edited August 2, 2023 by retrospace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still isn't perfect but may be a bit easier for you to get the point accross. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrospace Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 I know the Start Screen themes (BigFade theme) that support videos. I already made the switch to my platform videos. The point is, I wanted the platforms' LoadScreen videos to run in FullScreen when running a game. For example: This one from Atari that is in the post, When running Pitfall, this video would run in full screen showing that the game is loading, without information, just the video as if it were the Start Screen. I don't know if I made myself clear now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put your videos in the \Videos folder for that Startup theme. Here it is in action. I even used one of your videos. Startup.mp4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
