Mr. RetroLust's MAME Lights Out Bezels Revisited

LIGHTS OUT! BEZELS UPDATED TO THE NEWEST MAME CODE Mr. RetroLust created a series of bezels which is a masterpiece : Yet as he uses a rather old version of MAME, some of those bezels are not compatible with the latest releases which use a redesigned artwork system (MAME 0.226 onwards). As I intend to continue to enjoy his creations in optimal conditions, I have undertaken to update all the lay files and to correct recent incompatibilities. The original project uses a reflection and scratch layer to add a realistic effect which defines its style. You will find here the complete arcade 4K widescreen collection updated to the most recent lay code and expanded in various ways. Mainly based on the version 17.0 of the original collection : I’ve updated/edited all the lay files. Renamed files in sync with latest MAME release (0.281 at the time of this writing). Merged some archives to avoid any conflict with the classic artworks of Mr. Do and progetto-SNAPS. Converted and integrated some of Mr. RetroLust's non-MAME specific arworks*. Added Xeno Crisis bezel by Layer0730. Added blue MAME cab bezel by d66dle. Added some new artworks in the same style (Ex: Darius II Dual-Screen). Replaced most of the screen overlays based on pics with lay-coded ones according to the latest MAME sources (ex : Circus). Corrected some MAME artwork display known bugs (ex : Dead Eye). Added switchable gear shift for racing games when possible (ex : Pole Position). Added optional custom enhancements (ex : Galaga). Added color variations (ex : Barricade). Added BIOS specific bezels (ex : Deco Cassette System). Added generic horizontal and vertical bezels to use as fallback art files for every game missing individual artwork. Included a folder INI file to display a list of all games of the collection. If you spot a bug, or a game I forgot to add a gear shift, please indicate it in the comments, I will try to rectify it ASAP. * : Converted for MAME and upscaled to 4K some artworks from HD Lights Out! Retroarch Bezels 8.5. Converted for MAME the Sammy Atomiswave 4K Lights Out! Realistic Bezels 1.0.0. Converted for MAME the Sega Naomi 4K Lights Out! Realistic Retroarch Bezels 1.3. INSTALLATION Easy 'n' dirty way (not recommended) : Unzip all LightsOutRevisited0-Z archives in MAME/ARTWORK/ Install updates one after the other, just unzip and replace all files when asked. Put horizontal and vertical INIs in the root folder of your MAME installation or in MAME/INI/PRESETS/ Advanced 'n' clean way : Use the provided DAT to rebuild the collection with Clrmamepro, Romcenter or your favorite ROMs manager. Place the resulting ZIP files in MAME/ARTWORK/ Put horizontal and vertical INIs in the root folder of your MAME installation or in MAME/INI/PRESETS/ It is ESSENTIAL to use the included horizontal and vertical INIs to make the generic fallback bezels work. Optional : Put vector, vector-mono and raster INIs in the root folder of your MAME installation or in MAME/INI/PRESETS/ Put Lights Out Bezels Revisited INI in MAME/FOLDERS/ The FOLDERS INI file is entirely optional. The vector and the vector-mono INIs are highly recommended but not essential. The raster INI is ONLY to be used if you use the D3D HLSL graphics mode. I personally use the BGFX graphics mode for the rasters and the fantastic ArcCabView shader from Ducon2016 and Houb (included in UPDATE TO LIGHTS OUT 10.0 - MAME 0.276). Let's play ! All hails to Mr. RetroLust for the incredible work that he made with his original bezels. Special thanks to the following people who directly or indirectly inspired and/or helped me with this project : AntoPISA, d66dle, Ducon2016, Houb, Layer0730, Mr. Do, numerous members from MAMEWorld, Starman99x, Vaughan and Widge-5. After downloading and testing the release, if you enjoyed it, please come back and react by reviewing or liking the page. It will take you just a few seconds and help me give visibility to this project.

Nostalgia

eatkinola posted a topic in Big Box Custom Themes

Nostalgia View File Nostalgia uses the amazing platform videos created by @viking to create a per-system theme; thanks to viking for letting me derive from and name my theme after his work. It's designed for 16:9; tested at HD but not 4k since I don't have a 4k setup. Please let me know if you spot problems or have suggestions. It relies on a set of plugin controls I created, so you'll have to unblock either the entire zip file, or more specifically the DLL files in the theme's Plugins folder (see below). Due to its reliance on certain plugin features, the current version of this theme requires LB version 10+. Bundled with Nostalgia are some clear logos from viking's silver ring set, along with a few extras. Also bundled are platform banners created by @Grila and @Omen. For the best experience (including CRT curvature effects for videos), I recommend setting BigBox to use Windows Media Player. Platform Views: Background as the current platform (from viking's video set) including a video playing within the arcade cabinet, TV screen, etc. If there is no video for the selected platform, category, or playlist, a random list of relevant game videos are played instead. If no vids are available, screenshots are used. Platform, category, or playlist details are displayed to the left of the screen. Game Views: Selected game is displayed within a platform-specific background. If no game video exists, the game's screenshots are played as a slideshow while the game's soundtrack (if found in your LB setup) is played in the background. If neither game nor screenshots exist, a video of TV static plays. Game details are displayed to the left of the screen. Filter Views: E.g., Genres, Series, etc -- in this view, a random list of game videos for the selected Series, etc. will play. KNOWN ISSUES: (1) 3DS and DS videos do not display properly. This is due to how they were captured, i.e., with both screens on these dual screen devices being squished into a single video. A potential workaround is to crop out the auxiliary screen from these videos and use on the part from the main screen. If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know. I think handbrake would work for batch cropping. (2) There are missing platform backgrounds. I tried to include the most common platforms. Viking's background set is quite thorough; please send me any requests. NOTE: Unblocking the ZIP file will also unblock the DLLs (e.g., Ao.Bigbox.Themer.dll and others) contained therein, giving your computer permission to run these DLLs. This is an issue with all plugins you might download from this forum. It's a Windows security feature. You basically have to vouch for a file before Windows will use it. I liken it to how a MS office document you download from an email runs in Protected Mode until you unblock it for printing, editing, etc. Below is the error you'll see if you don't unblock the file, as well as a screenshot of the solution.

Unified Redux Video Snap Dimensions Help

ilikegames22 posted a topic in Big Box Custom Themes

I was just wondering if anyone can tell me how to get my videos to display in 16:9 like the photo on the bottom for unified redux theme mine is the one the top with square 4:3 video snaps (i know i have to edit the border image in theme as well later) just unsure on how to get the video to play without the black bars, I only want to have 16:9 playback for select platforms (ps3, switch, et) I was having trouble finding a solution in the forums and I went to the discord and was recommended to switch to Unified Refried with a Queso mod for this, however I'm just trying my luck here to see if anyone has a solution as I really like the look of redux and am unfamiliar mods.

Switch Changelog: v1.0.3 (8/30/2017): - moved the GrilaControlLibrary.dll to the theme Plugins folder, which is an added feature since the theme release (the .dll will still need to be un-blocked before launching BigBox) - fixed the large outline bug reported by @jamesclarke555 (thanks again for reporting it to me) v1.0.2 (5/2/2017): - redesigned Text Games View (thanks for the inspiration @NahuelDS) v1.0.1 (4/21/2017): - Dark version added v1.0.0 (4/20/2017): - Initial release Theme Description ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Switch is a very lightweight, clean theme that was designed to be as close to the original UI as possible. There isn't much artwork in this one: banners for the platform wheel view, covers for the box game view, and a video snap in the game details screen so it should run pretty smooth on low spec systems. It includes a custom control library that I've started to build that contains the battery status indicator as well as a separate 12 and 24 hour clock (since we can't change the format of the built-in one without changing Windows settings). Theme Notes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Requires the file GrilaControlLibrary.dll to be un-blocked before launching BigBox. Make sure to do this for both the light and dark versions of the theme. * Utilizes the font Oxygen-Regular, which is included in the root theme folder. Install it before running this theme. * Designed for 1920x1080. I can't guarantee it will work at any other resolutions (really only the platform wheel), even in the same aspect ratio, because of the margin that is applied to the wheel to get it off center. The box game view and all text views are NOT affected by this and will work at any resolution, although text spacing and some other misc. elements may not look as perfect as they do at 1080. * Included is a sound pack for BigBox. Move it from the theme directory to LaunchBox\Sounds and select it in the BigBox options menu. It can also be downloaded here https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/file/467-switch/ * I've included some extra buttons and controller images along with the .PSD and .AI files to edit them if you feel the need. The extras can be swapped out to fit your system by simply copying them from the extras folder to the core image folder and renaming them. The file names have to match what's in the XAML, so you'll need to overwrite or delete the ones you are changing. Filenames are controller.png, play_button.png, and back_button.png. Alternate Versions ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1280x720 GPDWin focused version (video replaced with screenshot): Switch_v1.0.1_1280x720.zip 1280x800 Tablet focused version (video replaced with screenshot): Switch_v1.0.1_1280x800.zip

pillarboxing Specifiy Pillarboxing/Letterboxing for Video Snaps in BigBox Themes?

V15UAL K3YS posted a topic in Videos

I was working with video snaps for my Windows PC games and noticed that certain BigBox themes, "like WoodPanels" use a 16:9 monitor view for video snaps for games while other consoles like PS1, N64, SNES, etc use the 4:3 CRT style TVs in the views to display the video snap. This is fine, but I noticed that when I record Windows game snaps for games that only run in 4:3 resolutions, they will be stretched across the displaying area. I've attached a snap-shot of POD Gold in the video snap view for WoodPanels for Windows Games. Would it be possible to specify the theme to adjust pillar/letterboxing for the video snaps based on the aspect ratio of the video file? Or would my best bet be to re-record video snaps with pillar/letterboxing in the video so that it displays properly in BigBox? Just asking because I have many games for Windows such as Populus 3, POD Gold, Classic PC NFS games, etc that only run in 4:3 aspect ratios so I have to letterbox these no matter what.

The idea of this set is to place the gameplay video in context, with the hardware of its time. A touch of nostalgia to better understand an unknown material especially for the youngest. Most of the montages use the EmuMovie gameplay videos. The others are mine. This video set is also available in 4:3 ratio here I also share the gameplay videos I create with the help of the community. On EmuMovie FTP : "Upload here > _Video Snap Submissions > Viking (Platform Video)" /!\ IMPORTANT NEWS /!\ Dad of 2 young children, I dont have enough time to make another video. Thanks to him, @dragon57 are nicely create new video for this set. You can find additional videos here. If other people are interested in creating video for this set, here is a Mega link to download a 7zip archive with some source files that will help you stay in the graphical lines. Thank you for your help and your understanding! // VIDEO // Platform = 253 videos Category = 5 videos // INFORMATION // 16:9 format HD resolution : 1920x1080px MP4 format - H264 Codec - AAC audio - most with 30fps EmuMovie or community video integration, unless not available, I created myself the games loop. // INSTRUCTION // There is 2 way to download my videos : Way 1 : The easy one In LaunchBox, go to "tools > Download platform video theme" Select "Viking's Nostalgia (16x9)" Clic "OK" Way 2 : By hand Download files here one by one and copy into : ... / LauchBox / Themes / <theme name> / Videos / Platforms / ...

New screenshots (1-12 basic theme 13-26 SE version) (see changelog below for all the info). PSGC was made to match one of my themes (skins) done for the PSMC media player.

FB Focus

AsparagusTrevor posted a topic in Big Box Custom Themes

FB Focus View File This is a new theme based on my previous Flikbox, however it is built around blurred backdrops and foreground elements that pop out against them, and less focused on speed and more on smooth eye candy. It is currently considered as Beta, there is still tweaking to be done and some features to add but it should be perfectly functional. It is a little more intensive than the previous Flikbox due to there being many more elements involved. The theme is designed for 16:9 although other ratios might work but haven't been tested. It works best with video snaps rather than any type of themed video. VIEWS INCLUDED: System Text Lists Horizontal Coverflow Horizontal Wheel (boxes) Horizontal Wheel (logos) Vertical Wheel (boxes) Vertical Wheel (logos) Wall with info (boxes) Wall with info (logos) It uses the Source Sans Pro free typeface which is included in the zip. I have used Dan Patrick's awesome platform logos and my own controller icons, many thanks to him. Of course, thanks to y2guru for the Community Theme Creator, and Faeran's very helpful Youtube videos. I have uploaded a matching startup theme here.
