@ruckage BRILLIANT!!! i am glad you are reworking this excellent theme, maybe the neo-geo classic has you feeling the MEGA SHOCK? and it rekindled the fire for this theme...? ; ) anyway brother, dont forget about us 4:3 and 5:4 arcade cabinet users too!

@ruckage Hi!

Thanks also!

@ruckage I know you have been extremely busy, but is there a chance you could release the Arcade icon for the main screen? Thanks for all youve done and I hope to hear back from you soon.

Is it possible to show a "game-image.png" then the "game-video.mp4" ? I can only seem to get the video preview to play, unlike on your snes mini theme where you can display the game image then a second or two later the video preview plays

Trying to remember of f the top of my head but I think this is what did it for me (in the neo.xml file):

	<video name="md_video">
		<size>0.475 0.6222222222222222</size>
		<pos>0.4989583333333333 0.1740740740740741</pos>
		<origin>0 0</origin>
		<delay>1.0</delay>
		<showSnapshotNoVideo>true</showSnapshotNoVideo>
		<showSnapshotDelay>true</showSnapshotDelay>
		<zIndex>-100</zIndex>
	</video>

@ruckage I need to ask you an honest question, If myself and my son put a bounty source up for £77.86 for you to finish the Neo-Geo theme in 4:3, 5:4 and 16:9 would that encourage you to do so?

You made a similar promise in the past for a $50 donation to add 4:3 support in time for you sons graduation but you didn't deliver....

[LinuxArcadeGuy]

@ruckage as you didn't deliver and finish the theme, i had to start modifying it to fit my needs to complete it in time, thus withdrew my offer and just to let you know i included the previous promissory of $50 usd into the new offer of $100 usd and will be securing it within bountysource so there isn't any party discrepancies this time around, so i ask you... would you agree to this?

also could you look at the video and tell me what you think the problem is... thanks.

You asked for 4:3 support - I kept my promise and added 4:3 and also 5:4 support which was a huge amount of work and if you were to put an actual value on it far more work than even the $100 you say you are now offering. I only ever planned Neo Geo and Capcom for this theme with any other systems being a bonus if I decided to add them.

Without all my work on the 4:3 that was done at short notice and was never originally planned you certainly wouldn't have been able to complete your build ready for your sons graduation/birthday.
I'm sorry but I get the feeling that whatever I do you will continually move the goal posts (as you have previously when you suddenly asked for multiple categories to be added) and you obviously don't appreciate the amount of work involved.

Sorry to jump in between here. I just wanted to know if there was any major change in this theme since the very beginning.
I am not sure what version I have but I guess it is the very first download that was available here.
@ruckage did you add anything new except for the 4:3/5:4 support?
Just wanna make sure i didn't miss anything.

The 4:3 was the only major change. Since then I've got the grid view working for marquees (or screenshots if you prefer) as well but It needs some tweaking/testing before I can release it.

@ruckage

Cool then I am good for now I guess.
Keep up the good work.

@ruckage

Thank you for all you have done for the retropie community!

I love this theme and I will be looking forward for the finished version. Keep up the good work! :)

@ruckage i didn't move any goalposts, i asked for the aspect support and for the theme to be completed for the $50 donation, you did add the aspect ratios, but did not complete the theme, and as far as the work involved, i am very sure that it is a lot, and worth something significant, but you cannot try to tell me that its worth more than $50 or even $100 for ONE PERSON as that is extortion, this IS NOT a commission, as if it were one, i would have you make it to my specs and for me only, no public release and sure the price for something of that caliber is way higher, maybe $300-$500 usd, but as this is not the case the money offered was to incentivize you to finish the theme for the public good, including myself, so the monetary compensation was fair no matter what you say, as it was more like pre-tipping versus payment for services rendered. my offer still stands and will attempt to gather funds from others as well, it may very well go over the $100 usd marker.
