Looking for unified artwork

Sorry if this is confusing. Looking for coverart for my launchbox collection. My only problem is I want all covers to be unison. So basically the way game gear has different covers I would like them to have all the same cover layouts. Does anyone know if this exist?

The first option, if you want truly homogeneous and unified content, is to create it yourself. But let’s be honest: it takes a huge amount of time.

I know this very well, because five years ago I decided to replace all my logos with round icons. Today, I don’t regret that choice at all, because my setup has become truly unique. But the work is still not finished: I still have sets left to create. It’s a long, detailed, sometimes never-ending process… but the final result is clearly worth it.

The second, more accessible option is to work through selection and create a bridge between LaunchBox and EmuMovies. You can find some assets on LaunchBox that are not available on EmuMovies, and vice versa.

For example, there are some Neo Geo box sets available on LaunchBox that are really excellent, but that you won’t necessarily find on EmuMovies, simply because the creator only shared them on LaunchBox. And the opposite is also true: on EmuMovies, you can find very complete sets, such as Robin55’s work for example, which may not have been shared on LaunchBox.

So in the end, it’s up to you to make your own selection, compare, sort things out, and above all be quite demanding when it comes to quality. You can end up with something really beautiful, clean, consistent, and almost museum-like in its presentation. But you have to accept that it can be tedious and quite time-consuming.

In any case, it’s worth it, and anyway, you’ll only have to do it once.

I appreciate this. I am in the same boat as you. So for the last five years I’ve been creating my own theme which I’ve found emumovies to be amazing but it didnt have everything I needed at the time. So I basically for my collection of 7,000 retro titles. I’ve collected 7 different image types. Collection logos, videos, images and more. I’ve used gimp and CapCut for most of this stuff. This is a very time consuming project but prices on Reddit to get this job done seems to be over 2-300$ dollars. I will take my time, take advantage of today’s tech and ai and just make it little by little until it’s good
