I'm looking at doing a bare minimal install on a space-limited micro-computer for my kids to enjoy some old-school gaming using Launchbox & Big Box.  My question is on the Default themes for both Launchbox & Big Box, what are the Media that are in default form, utilized?  I always get Box (Front) & Clear Logo and usually the lowest quality Video from EmuMovies.  What others are used so I can include them so they have the most complete out-of-box experience?  I'm not worried about customizing, changing anything, custom themes... just the Default.

Thank you for the quick reply!  I was imagining there was more that was being used, but happy its not too much.  Are the logos and videos the only optional?

And can I ask... I'm having a hard time understanding on the videos... I always choose the lowest quality, but if I chose all the qualities, would it only download the highest quality available?  My 5 year old LOVES to watch the videos when he loads up LaunchBox.  BigBox will be for my daughter, she's just getting into gaming (3).

For the default theme yeah I believe so.

Yeah, if you choose all the qualities LB will start with the best quality videos and move down to the lower tiers if no video is found at the higher quality level.

If you set it to download box front and back (flyer for arcade since they didn't have boxes), clear logos, gameplay screenshots videos that will give you everything you need. All the other media options are fluff and not going to be used by the default theme though fan art may be used for back grounds but my personal opinion on those is that they are a waste of drive space (some are huge) and the quality of them can vary greatly.
