Bro, there needs to be more like buttons! Phenomenal work. Love how enjoyable this makes navigating my gamelist. Honestly this is so thorough we even get a nice and quick Gimp edit to customize to your hearts content. Couldn't ask for more.
I also think it makes it look a lot better. Thanks for the kind words!
Those batch files are great. Top work my man!
Thank you!
You rock!!!
Thanks for watching!
Good guide, what are the games playing demo on the screen in the background?
Thanks! That would be ActRaiser 2 for the SNES. A hard but great game!
I really like what appears to be a "nintendo game boy" sticker that you have on your device. Where did you get it?
Yeah, it's a great sticker!

@@PhyrexTechs thank you so much for responding. Love your videos so far! 🙌🏾
Thanks! That means a lot to me!
@@PhyrexTechs Swap a black dpad from another miyoo to complete the gameboy look.
That is a good idea. Might need to do that.
Brilliant work, thank you for sharing. Sadly MM+ template link not working and when I download the MM+ Big Zoom archive I get a bat file, not three files like you use in this video. Could you please clarify? Thanks!
Sorry about that my server went down for a bit. The link for the MM+ big zoom should work now. files.phyrextechs.com/share/BSKak5jy
@@PhyrexTechs Thanks a lot, sir!
👍
Have you gotten doom to play? I can’t figure out where to put the files and how to get it to show up.
Your videos rock 👍
Yeah, it was a little confusing to get working but I eventually did. I'll make a video on how to do it.
@@PhyrexTechs that would be so great! Thanks for your videos!
Excellent guide, but as others have said, the Skraper template you reference is no longer available. Great channel, love your videos.
Thanks I was just able to find a better link and have updated it.
@@PhyrexTechs You are a legend, sir. 🙂 We thank you.
Except starting Skraper for the first time may take hours. 😅
Yeah depending on the internet connection and PC it can take so long...
Hi @phyrextechs just a heads up that the skraper template link is down. :(
They must have taken down the link from discord. I looked to see if I still have a copy and I can't find it.
Your next best option is to follow these instructions:
Via "ALL SYSTEMS" on the left, go to the "MEDIA" tab -> Enable & set "Resize width to" to 250 and enable
"Keep Image Ratio"
Select the image type you don't want in the "Fetched Media List" and press the "minus" button, so there's
only one picture.
You can change how the image mix looks with the two buttons under "Media type", I recommend changing
"4 IMAGES MIX" to "Screenscraper's Recalbox Mix V2", but use whatever you prefer. If you choose a
picture that's taller than it's wide, like the boxart, set "Resize height to" to 360 and disable "Keep Image Ratio"
@@PhyrexTechs thanks, very helpful. I'm trying it out now.
I'm also building up a real nice AdvanceMenu png/mp3 library of files and I'd prefer to make a higher resolution quality of the Snap. What I get between scrapper or tiny best set snap packs are a bit blurry, do you know of a way to record your own Snaps for AdvanceMenu that doesn't use AdvanceMAME or AdvanceMESS emulators? That's all I could find.
Hmm, Not that I know of. I'll be sure to let you know if I ever find another way.
