Neo Geo X Build

FlyingTomahawk

This theme that @ruckage created is just so damn nice you just want to showcase all your favorite arcade games.

Amen to that!
I also like this theme the most and I even don't own an arcade cabinet. So I can only imagine how excited meleu must be since he owns a NeoGeo cabinet.

Looks really good, it fits in well with the rest of the theme as well.

Hi, sorry for the delay - I had to dig up the old files and redo the overlays as I couldn't find the completed ones.

The zip contains borders with an aperture grille + scanlines for the following systems:

Capcom
Neogeo
Mastersystem
Megadrive
PCengine
SNES

These are further broken down into different opacities so that you can pick how dark you want the scanline - eg. neogeo-25 has a scanline opacity of 25% , neogeo-75 has a scanline opacity of 75% - higher the number, the darker the scanline.

Also included are scanlines and scanlines+aperture grille without the borders. As they don't have borders you can just adjust the overlay opacity within retroarch to get the effect you like.

These are all designed to work at 1080p and in order for the scanlines to line up with each row of pixels you need to make sure that the image is being stretched to the full height of the screen (this is the default retroarch setting so unless you changed it yourself it should be okay).

*There may be problems with the pcengine overlays as the resolution on the pcengine is variable - it looked okay when I originally made it though I haven't tested this new version

@ruckage do you happen to have the psd you could share or a hi-res png 75% scanlines without the words/logos just the diamond plate?

He would be, initially, salivating over that amount, however as we know in order to keep the donations coming in he can't actually finish any of his themes.

He has to continue to make empty promises of doing this & that, & every now then release a fix or minor update.

If he actually finishes any of the themes then why would anyone donate?

Its the same reason he doesnt want anyone taking his themes & adding to/improving them & then sharing them free of charge.

*** Before he gets me banned - I've still got those emails Ruck ;) ***

You really do have a problem and I think you need help.....

Please, enlighten me regarding these emails @DigitalMonkey considering I've had zero contact with you outside of these forums (for which I'm very grateful).

Not that it's any of your business what donations I receive I'm going to list every donation I've had in the hope it will finally shut you up - minus the names but anyone can easily verify this as I thanked every person who donated.

Total: £92.47

The themes represent months upon months of work, I began work on the themes 7 months ago and have worked on them consistently since then - do you seriously think that these donations would be the driving force keeping me creating the themes? It would be the equivalent of being paid fractions of a pence per hour if I was doing it for the donations - get a grip.
I do it because I enjoy making the themes and further more I enjoy sharing the work I've made with others.

This is nothing more than an enjoyable hobby for me, I have enough problems in my life without dealing with vindictive bullies like yourself.

ok @ruckage i am sorry i seemed to have opened a wound, but would my donation interest you in the task of completing this theme and adding complete 4:3 option? as there aren't any proper arcade-worthy themes i am waiting on this one to finish my son's graduation gift of a neo-geo arcade. also i am looking to run a romset drectly from the main es menu without game list, i.e. instead on Nintendo being a link to the list of nintendo games, i want it to be persay TMNT and then go right into TMNT is this possible @ruckage as i have found NO resources to help me in the past few months

@ruckage i really hope this stuff doesnt discourage you. Some of us truly appreciate the work you have done.

@ruckage

We had that "thing" already once and I won't say much this time since I don't want to get banned.
I reported his post already.
Just keep doing what you are doing and ignore that background noise.

Back to topic, yeah a 4:3 version would be very nice.

Thanks for the support, I appreciate it.

@linuxarcadeguy
Depends what your expectations are when you say 'completed'. I only ever planned to support NeoGeo and Capcom with this theme, though since then I've also planned to add a general arcade section as well possibly a default theme so it can at least support everything else.
Regarding 4x3, I can do that but it's not a simple case of changing some settings, I would have to do an entirely separate theme. I don't mind doing that but it will obviously take a bit time so it really depends on how quickly you need it. I'd also really need to know what resolution display you are using as that can affect things.

Regarding launching directly into a games in ES, that's not possible - the carousel always goes directly to a gamelist, it's just how it works.
