Honestly, the HyperSpin/Big Box competition is all but over. I finally completely deleted my Hyperspin setup from my hard drive. Big Box does everything HyperSpin did and more. It’s just sad to see HS die such a slow, agonizing death without the developers even lifting a finger.
Two reasons why I ended up using AttractMode over this. 1: Menu elements are literally incapable of holding steady at 60fps. 2: The introductory animation it goes through every time you navigate to a new game is neat and all, but I want the option to have all that pop up *immediately.* Including playing the video *immediately.* If you're scrolling through games randomly, trying to find an interesting looking one, you simply do not want to have to wait 3-4 seconds each time you scroll the wheel. How about 0 seconds? How about the option for 0 seconds?
I paid for a life membership for LB and BB though I don’t use it. Why I picked up a few unnecessary viruses through downloading Roms which I have had many times.
Unified theme is still my favorite. It's what I've used for at least the last year. Where did you get that kickass NeoGeo MVS movie that sounds like Nathan Barnatt's cool Neo Geo song?
I'd love to have the CriticalZone layout that starts at 1:30 but I can't figure out how to get that? Do you have a bunch of custom game themes within CriticalZone?
Hyperspin can’t to my knowledge change themes when you have chosen and installed a build for instance and lacks many other features and functions. I think you are good.
I have a bigbox. Launchbox only download a dozen or so themes on over 2000 "mame" games. What am I doing wrong ? [The games were pre-filtered by launchbox audit]
Awesome video. How did you add the "beat 'em up" and other categories to your arcade wheel? I use Unified Refried and cant seem to get it to work. Is it structured that way in Launchbox via folders?
Hello LunchBox is developing incredibly, it is a pity that can: 1. When switching on, you cannot set your own video, intro, just like in Hs, there is only the Big Box inscription 2. not do something similar to Hs on the nested wheel model, i.e. the wheel in the Arcade, Console, etc. I am waiting for such a possibility ;)
i have a 2tb hyperspin set up with all the emumovies. can i port these over to big box to save time instead of downloading from servers? what folder should i look for?
Importing takes way too long for the amount of files I have. I tried to import just my GBA games overnight, twice...Just to come back to database still updating/Freezing. I just bought the Big Box and I'm getting frustrated.
Big box imports a ton of media, try turning off videos during the initial import to speed up the process and then go back and get them on the second pass!
Servers were faster before the pandemic, not sure what the cause would be besides increased user count/usage but some art is posted on the launchbox forums and that might be a faster server?
Haha, nice another one with my view of City Hunter 2. The typefaces on the information boxes are super tacky, not in a good way (the 80s were rad, that typeface still isn't) and hard to read. I said this once, but I was downvoted to oblivion by the creator even though I gave praise for the overall theme execution.
When I was a kid I was 99% gaming - 1% fiddling. Now I'm 90% fiddling, tinkering, modding - 10% gaming.
Amen
Dang. That's pretty much dead on. Good observation.
Haha. Sums me up perfectly!
You really feel me
YESSssss!!! Same here. It's a constant quest for improvement/perfection.
Love it. My issue is that I rarely ever play any of these games anymore. I'm old! I find myself just skimming through all the eye candy lol.
Fiddle with a build for 2 weeks, play games for 20 min. 😂
@@arcademania7544 too true lol
It brings me joy to see Metamorphic Force featured at 1:15. I love that game
He didnt show anyone how he setup the videos or how to select any of the options or how to select them.
This is dope. I need to build up my skills so that I can utilize this in the future.
It's super easy. You'll get up and running in about 30 minutes.

hi help please. i have installed couple of themes from big box library. activated each one but the default theme is always showing.
The full list of themes from the videos is highly awaited in the comment section!
There are lots of "ok" themes for BigBox but very few (if any) great themes.
Hi, do you know a theme that I can use that you can just scroll through all games and not have the emulator part?
I paid for a life membership for LB and BB though I don’t use it. Why I picked up a few unnecessary viruses through downloading Roms which I have had many times.
which button do you press to change the style of themes? sorry if you said in the video and that I am BR not understanding English
I don’t think it’s on by default. You have to go into big box, settings, assign keys and it’s near the bottom to change view
@@ArcadeAdam I got here thank you very much
Unified theme is still my favorite. It's what I've used for at least the last year. Where did you get that kickass NeoGeo MVS movie that sounds like Nathan Barnatt's cool Neo Geo song?
How are you quick switching between views?
But what are you pressing to change those themes on the fly??
How are you flipping through the different layouts?
I'd love to have the CriticalZone layout that starts at 1:30 but I can't figure out how to get that? Do you have a bunch of custom game themes within CriticalZone?
figured it out! you need EmuMovies premium, (or download all their Hyperspin videos manually)
where did you get those nice intro vids for the games? I only got snaps of gameplay
could you show us ignorant your settings in options? that would be helpful. Thank you ;)
Hi bro , How do you change the crítical zone theme view ? What button or keyboard button use
Would you rather have hyper spin or big box? I’m having one built with launchbox/big box hope I’m making the right choice
Hyperspin can’t to my knowledge change themes when you have chosen and installed a build for instance and lacks many other features and functions. I think you are good.
What theme does the megacade from extreme home arcade use?
Where did you add those games?
Oh that's one thing I don't know. My game titles are just regular text.
I'd like a theme like Pegasus default grid, it is really good!
How do you switch views on the fly?
Inside Bigbox, go to controls and towards the bottom of the list you can assign a key or gamepad button to switch theme views
I have a bigbox. Launchbox only download a dozen or so themes on over 2000 "mame" games. What am I doing wrong ? [The games were pre-filtered by launchbox audit]
Cool video, thx a lot.
#ArcadeAdam How to get animation on video? With Emumovie?Thanks
Why do your videos/snaps contain a whole other theme in them? Is that hyperspin? Seems like a theme within a theme a bit information overload..
Hi I'm new to bigbox/launchbox how do you get it to where pictures are flying in and the video's are in png picture for each game?
Awesome video. How did you add the "beat 'em up" and other categories to your arcade wheel? I use Unified Refried and cant seem to get it to work. Is it structured that way in Launchbox via folders?
Did you ever get an answer for this?
Great video! I would love to speak with you about assistance I need with setup, computer needed etc.
Hello LunchBox is developing incredibly, it is a pity that can:
1. When switching on, you cannot set your own video, intro, just like in Hs, there is only the Big Box inscription
2. not do something similar to Hs on the nested wheel model, i.e. the wheel in the Arcade, Console, etc.
I am waiting for such a possibility ;)
How to get AAE?
How are you switching views without using menus?
There is a 'switch view' hotkey you can assign in bigbox options
Nice visits! Not a fan of the neon retro deluxe theme ? I have not seen it .
i have a 2tb hyperspin set up with all the emumovies. can i port these over to big box to save time instead of downloading from servers? what folder should i look for?
Yep! in Bigbox/launchbox just remap your media folders to the (assuming) d:\hyperspin\media\system name\
Importing takes way too long for the amount of files I have. I tried to import just my GBA games overnight, twice...Just to come back to database still updating/Freezing. I just bought the Big Box and I'm getting frustrated.
Big box imports a ton of media, try turning off videos during the initial import to speed up the process and then go back and get them on the second pass!
How do you get game play video? Is that built into Big Box or from Emumovies?
Yep! Launchbox has tons of built in media, emumovies just adds even more and gives you more options, not required but nice to have.
How do you switch views when you are inside of a Theme?
Great Video by the way.
You can set up a hotkey within BigBox options, and then you can change themes and views on the fly
@@bundangkorea Thanks. Works Fine.
Awesome but downloading is so slow. How can I add video and box art faster? Is there any zip file?
Servers were faster before the pandemic, not sure what the cause would be besides increased user count/usage but some art is posted on the launchbox forums and that might be a faster server?

Vut the big box is with money
