THIS THREAD WILL SOON BE MOVING TO ANOTHER SITE. UPDATE 24/08 The majority of the art in this thread is now included in the Official Artwork Installer available in the XBMC4GAmers/Emustation downloader. There are still some packs that are exclusive to this thread ANYTHING ADDED AFTER 01/09/24 IS NOT CURRENTLY IN THE OFFICIAL INSTALLER! I am also still working on the Homebrew games that still have no art. This thread contains all the custom _resource packs I have created for XBMC4Gamers. Each pack contains the various art needed for XBMC4Gamers, 3D covers etc along with a default.xml for the synopsis views. XMBC4Gamers Custom Art Download Here Update 11/09 Added Arcade Rips section, After Burner 1 & 2 and Space Harrier are the first to receive full art packs there. These are based on the Arcade Rip pack from Dominator over at EmuXtras. There is art for some of these games included in the official installer but they are missing certain pieces, my packs here will use the existing art (where available) and fill in the gaps. Where no existing art is available the packs will be fully custom art. These will also use the default.xml synopsis files provided by @NokSueCow. Update 25/09 @Rocky5 identified an issue with screenshot sizes in some of my packs, He kindly corrected them all on the Official Installer (Thanks ). I am going through and reupping the packs here with the corrected files, Apps are all done. The rest will follow over the next couple of days. Update 04/10 Added another BMX XXX alt artwork, this one uses the image found on the reverse of the official cover. Update 05/11 Added art for Sonic Nexus (Homebrew) and the next 2 games in the Arcade rips pack, Joust 1 & 2 and King of Dragons. Also added an art pack for the Prototype of Stargate SG-1 The Alliance. Credit to @Kracker642 on vgboxart.com who did the great work on the cover i based the pack around. Update 20/11 47 new packs added, most are for the Arcade Rips section (some are using the artwork from the officail installer but have had the missing screenshots, fanarts and preview videos added) but also packs added for Coinops 8 Lite/Massive/Tate Ed and Visionary 5 emulator sets. This means the Arcade rip set is almost complete. Only a handful left of that set left to do. Update 30/11 Art pack for Dead or Alive 3++ mod added to download link. Update 06/12 Art packs added for Street Fighter 2 - World Warrior, SF2 Champion Edition and SF2 Turbo - Hyper fighting in the Arcade Rips section. Also added a apck for Hydro thunder.

Update 07/12 Art pack added for the new homebrew port of SDLPoP (Prince of Persia) from Haguero over on the Xbox Scene discord. Update 10/12 Art packs added for 11 more Homebrew titles. I tried to use art from the homebrew game/dev wherever possible, this means that some art packs look a LOT better than others lol.... Depending on how much effort the game dev put in their games art Update 12/12 Art added for the Homebrew games, Chess Street Fighter, Dead Babies Xtreme and DefendguinX. Update 29/12 Art pack added for the new homebrew port "ClassiCube" Update 01/01 Art pack added for new homebrew release "Matterrun".

And here is a short video of a selection of them in dash. The below is from NokSueCow- "There are 349 Prototypes available for the Xbox from Project Deluge. I only made resource sets for the ones I thought people would care about. If the game was released I didn't create synopsis for it, with the exception of World Champ Pool 2003. It's actually a localized version of Snooker, and is explained in its synopsis. I used Rocky's downloader artwork for the games that were released. I removed their screenshots and preview videos, as they wouldn't be genuine, and trimmed their synopsis to reflect the disc builds. There are 17 total games that I spent time on, and are displayed in Nikey's video preview of the pack. 8 cancelled, 3 E3 Demos, 1 ComicCon, and 5 XDK Recovery's. American Idol loads and plays, Cars plays, Freedom Fighters plays, Hail to the Chimp requires a debug bios, He Man only plays in 480p, Made Man requires debug, Pacman Rally plays but only the hud is visible, Street Hoops plays, I couldn't get Marvel Nemesis, The Red Star, The Vatz, or US Open to play, possible debug requirement, and only 1 of the 5 XDK's would play, build 5028. Freedom Fighters doesn't have a preview video, the game files just don't have any. I couldn't get some of these to extract, either. I tried Repackinator, Mulleter, Extract-Xiso, CXbox, Qwix, nothing worked. The xiso to hdd script didn't work as well. Most of the game folders had to be trimmed for FatX, so you won't be able to just drop these into F/Protos and install easily, unfortunately. On pc, the whole set with resources take 838GB. And some of the pics of the physical game discs were taken at a weird angle, so it was hard to make it look perfect in photoshop."

Credit due to @sweetdarkdestiny for art used in a LOT of the App packs and @RoofTop for his pack over at Emuxtras for the Emulator artwork and some of the art used for some Homebrew games/ports. (I presume its the same Rooftop here lol). Also credit goes to @Bomb Bloke for some great work providing me with a great starting point on a few of those homebrew covers. @NokSueCow Has been working on the default.xml files for a lot of homebrew and emulators, making sure they are up to date and correct. I will update the art packs with his files as and when he completes them. The exhibition discs and Xenon Xyanide emu packs are already done. Huge thanks to @Rocky5 for doing all the hard work in creating the Photoshop templates used in creating these _resource packs and for the absolute best modern Xbox dashboard available today, XBMC4Gamers. The next step in my project will be going through all this art and the art in the official installer and adding screenshots and preview videos where missing. I now have a capture setup ready to go

hey folks! it's been a long time. anyway, i haven't touched any of my og xboxs in over a year. i decided to get a hard modded one out lastnight to test some things and i went ahead and updated xbmc4gamers and everything. i also installed the newest artwork pack from the downloads section, went to where it downloaded at and ran the .xbe, but no artwork is showing. what am i missing here? seems like there was something i had to do last time to activate it after installation but, i don't remember what that was.

Love this dashboard! Was setting up my artwork, which displays as designed, but I wanted to modify it a bit and was wondering if the following was possible (most seem like a simple tweak in a setting somewhere but the last one may be a little more advanced - i know there are XBMC limitations on what is possible). I truly do appreciate the dash in its current form: 1) Add an artwork type to the current selection list of 2d, 3d, logo, mix, screenshot. (I'd like to add Titles and Carts). I currently have one of them in loaded in 'Mix' slot but would like option to have them both in there so the art selection category would be 2d, 3d, cart, logo, mix, title, screenshot. I created the folders alongside the others, just need to find out how to get the system to point there and show them as options. 2) I know we can hit Y to see preview videos, but is there anyway to make videos the default artwork displayed...aka adding the category to the list as described above and make it play on a loop? 3) Where does emustation draw game overview/description info from? I've added some homebrew ROMs but their info is pretty limited. 4) Is there a way to change the default delay time before the overview starts scrolling? 5) Once a console has been selected, is there a way to have the list of games on the right hand side of the screen utilize logo artwork instead of the standard font? Thanks in advance!

Hey there friends! I'm having a huge issue with Artwork installer crashing half way and it won't let me manually download half of the games however it will let me manually download the ones that were successful during the automatic install. However if I manually transfer the artwork through fatxplorer it works fine. I am using CCI files. I have never had this issue before until trying this version. Currently running version 3.2 Dashboard is XBMC4GAMERS 2.1.001 With cerbios UDMA 4 flashed Hard drive is 500gb with the F partition being 64kb cluster size. I've tried multiple IDE cables and SATA adaptors. I'm at a total loss here I can't figure out what's going on. Any help would be amazing. Thank you.

UPDATED link to the new 3.2 version. Includes everything from the XBMC4Gamers downloader before 25/09/24 UPDATE 26/09/24 Link has been updated again and includes the latest files inc the fixes for the manual installer. I have seen a few people having issues with downloading the Artwork Installer so I went ahead and grabbed the latest version, along with the Preview Videos and 128mb Fanart and have uploaded the whole thing to share here. Xbox Artwork Installer 3.2.7z Just FTP to your console and run the xbe. Choose in the options if you wish to install the 128mb Art and/or the Preview Videos or not. Now includes my artwork from the custom art thread here at OGX @Rocky5 I hope this is ok to share here, if not then please let me know and I will remove it immediately.

When I select manual mode in the artwork installer, select the required artwork, then the folder to install to (in my case F:/Games/'gamename'), the artwork always installs to the wrong game folder. As you can see from the examples below. If I install the artwork for 'Richard Burns Rally', it overwrites the 'Re-Volt' artwork. If I install the artwork for 'Run Like Hell', it installs to the 'Richard Burns Rally' folder. It seems to install to the game folder directly prior alphabetically. I've updated to the latest artwork installer and XBMC4Gamers. I've also tried installing artwork via XBMC4Gamers instead of the app, but it does this every time. Any ideas?

Hey Everyone, I recently setup my OG Xbox 1.0 with Cerbios and added the full game library (CCI) to a 2TB HD. After I had everything up and running I installed the Game Artwork Application. Placed it in e:\apps\ annd ran the default.xbe file. Once the artwork application completed installing all the artwork, I rebooted the Xbox and opened up the games folder to find the original game thumbnails still in place. After deleting the thumbnails, via built in script and enabling the appropriate view option, the game artwork finally showed up. The only issue I’m still experiencing is that the game background display is still being displayed and an grey Xbox remote. I can’t seem to sort out how to get the background to display the appropriate game poster like the image I’ve seen on others XBMC4Gamers setups. What am I missing? Any help is greatly appreciated.

The title says it all really, I installed NeogenplusDX and had it how I wanted it, ran The Artwork installer 3.2 online edition and suddenly my NeoGenesis is labelled as OpenBor with images and description associated with that. Is there something I've done wrong?

Hey, does anyone have game artwork they would mind sharing? I am going to use XBMC Origins for my dash but would prefer to use already done artwork as it’ll be a lot to have to create my own from scratch. Thanks.

Does anyone know where someone can download Artwork, Movies, and Misc. Extras for this emulator? Thanks in advance!

I had a little trouble figuring this out, so i figured i would write this up. 1) install XBMC4GAMERS 2) launch it and setup your profile 3) go to settings, the downloader 4) update/install URL downloader (this is auto) 5) go to artwork 6) install XBOX artwork installer 7) when asking where to install it, install it into E:\apps\ 8. Use the left arrow to switch from games to applications 9) Run xbox artwork installer 10) Reboot and your artwork should be there. Give it some time as it caches everything.

Hi all, Bit of advice please. I'm running XBMC4Gamers and I had to copy over my games again to my F drive after previously getting the artwork working as some games were corrupted when they were copied over, but now I can't get any art work or synopsis to show apart from the default thumbnail for each game. Resources is enabled, and trying to re-run the artwork installer doesn't do anything. Any ideas? Games launch fine. Edit: I have the games in alphabetical folders this time, so added custom paths in the artwork installer and it's installing artwork now.

After each time I power up the Xbox the artworks shows some symbol/icon. on the games that contains violence. the symbol is shown in the picture: after I renew the info these symbols are gone. Is there a way to avoid these symbols in the first place? I have a 1.6 xbox smartxxv2 chip. XBMC4 gamers dashboard. Newest cerbios BIOS. Thanks in advance for your ideas!

Hello, good morning, Today I've set up a 2Tb disc on my Crystal Xbox and installed XBMC4Gamers. I love it, but I found the problem where trying to download the "Xbox Artwork Installer" gives a Google Drive error. Actually it says: 4XX: Client error 429 Too Many Requests File XboxArtworkInstaller.zip Try again later Is there any other way to install it? Or can it be solved somehow? Thanks,

So two months ago I was really enjoying playing doom on my Xbox via Odamex and found out that it can also directly be run through the use of shortcuts. So I made some shortcuts for the wads that I wanted to play and put them in a folder. When I tried to add artwork (_resources) to it they don't show up at the hombrew screen but inside of the folder (also it doesn't show the name of the folder) : Now I don't think this is supported but I wanted to know if there's a way to pull it off. Xbmc probably requires a default.xbe inside the folder for it to not get recognized as "just a folder" and show the name and artwork. What I was thinking is that would be possible to make it read some dummy xbe and use that to recognize the folder's name and artwork? (But then launching the shortcuts might not be possible) Also for some reason it reads the _resources folder as an item and it's subdirectories as well. (If there's a way to make xbmc ignore/don't do this that would be great as well) : https://i.postimg.cc/7PM1FTMc/IMG-20231124-134650.jpg (Shortcuts works fine tho)

Does anybody know if Rocky5's artwork downloader downloads a predetermined pack of artwork or if it only downloads artwork for games that have matching names to the sourced artwork - aka if I only have 45 nintendo roms does it download artwork just for those 45 or does it download the entire nintendo artwork library for all 1000+ games, regardless if you have them or not. Thanks!

Hi, new to X4G and have recently downloaded and installed v1.3.001 also downloaded artwork installer v1.9.4 and installed this to a F:\Artwork directory. It's working but I do have a couple of questions on getting it setup as I want. In youtube vids the game artwork is like a cover of the original game case but on my version it's more of an icon - is there any way I can switch to the case style images? Again on youtube as you switch between games the background has also changed to a game relevant image however on my setup it's a plain blue background. I've found where you can set the background colour or to a fixed image but how do I get it to be a dynamic image? I have had a search online and it suggests toggling the fanart to on but I haven't been able to find that option Thanks

I am running both from the ‘app’, and the script option and I select yes, then no to preview videos, and no to skip artwork that already exists and then it just starts on emulators and 36% pleas halp me internet!!!

Well the “Xbox artwork installer” is out, although it’s only on my downloader that comes with XBMC-Emustation and XBMC4Gamers. Currently prebuilt is 1072 Games with full artwork and synopsis information. There is more artwork done but that’s for specials and homebrew/emulators eg... these aren’t part of the installer. But you can download and manually install them from the github link below. Also a big thanks to everyone who scanned the disc and sleeves of all the Xbox games over at Emuxtras. If you want to make your own artwork or manually install the artwork you can get everything you need here. Link: XBMC4Gamers Artwork Github Full artwork source, 23.1GB worth so it’s big :eek: (removed, as to many downloads effect downloader and all files on this account) Link: Full Artwork Source Google Drive (23.1GB) Here is a preview of said artwork prebuilt ready for the Xbox.

Hi I am looking for artwork for latest version of Coinops Massive and Ninja etc. Similar to resources folder in other solutions. Does anyone have a link?

So I have all my games working and have tried XBMC-Emustation & XBMC4Gamers, Ive updated the dash to the newest version (tried the stable and non stable version). Ive downloaded and updated the Xbox Artwork Installer but every time i run it, it starts and adds the artwork but it stops in the middle of the of the D's in my library. The percentage bar hits 26% and then it quits and just sits on the artwork installer menu. I can run it again but the same thing just keeps happening. Is there a way to just manually add the artwork using fatxplorer, this is the last step. I just need the artwork so i can run Xbmc4Gamers as my dash and have it look amazing!

I am using an Electron Shepherd Xbox2HDMI dongle and have 480p and 720p enabled for my Rev 1 xbox with a X.B.I.T. modchip. XBMC4Gamers is working great and looks clean on my Vizio TV in 720p but when I open the Artwork installer it looks like the attached images. This so far is the only app I have noticed this behavior in.

Is there a preferred pixel size for the box art and screenshots? I want to add my own in so I was checking to see what size and resolution works best. Also, do PNG files get converted to jpeg? Because I placed some PNG files in and noticed they turned to jpeg.

I've been trying to find any artwork pack with covers and fanart for Xbox emulators themselves (not for games) and haven't had any luck. Everytime I find something that looks promising, the link is dead, Google drive access is restricted, etc. Does anyone have a collection like this or a link to one they'd be willing to share?

Looking for _Resources for the following emulators, if anyone is able to offer up any boxart or images? MameOx WinSTonX And not so much (see my previous post): Kawa-X CPX3 Anyone who has any old boxart for these squirreled away from the past would be grateful if you could share.
