// OPENBOX DOCS

Showcase

Real OpenBoxGL setups, library views, and Big Box on Linux.

Showcase

Real screenshots from the repository, not renders. Regenerate them with python3 scripts/capture_readme_screenshots.py after cd scripts && npm ci when you need fresh captures. All images are user supplied captures of user supplied games and cover art belongs to its publisher. Cover art and game files are not vendored in the repository or the site. Contributions that add an image must state the source and that you have the right to submit it under the Developer Certificate of Origin.
