Neo Geo X Build

[Darksavior]

@joharibk Where did you get your neogeo cart art?

[joharibk]

@Darksavior Did it myself. I pick and choose which games i want on my pi. so ill do whichever that I have on it.

[Darksavior]

@joharibk Ah, ok. Yea, I could only find high res art for the cd games: (pegasus frontend with my own customized (buggy) stock theme)

[joharibk]

@Darksavior I've looked everywhere for the set artwork that is used for the NeoGeo arcade stick but couldn't find any. I hope someone shares it or do those box art, that would be awesome! The pegasus frontend do you install it on the pi? does it perform well?

@joharibk @Darksavior
I've been working on my own set of square art for my Neo Geo Mini theme. I've completed Neo Geo and I'm currently working on CPSI/II/III.

Here's a preview of some of the images:

@ruckage Share. Share. Share. :) I never get myself doing all NeoGeo box art and starting on cps box art just took a toll on my old laptop. now I got like 30 NeoGeo games and 8 cps games that I've done the artwork.

@joharibk
I will when they're finished, I don't even have them in my own build yet :)

[joharibk]

@ruckage Means you'll be sharing an updated version of your NeoGeo mini-theme as well.. yeah! Wink Wink here's hoping. ..

@joharibk
Other than maybe a few more visual themes there isn't really anything that I think needs adding to the Neo geo mini theme as it's pretty much complete, though if you have any suggestions for improvement feel free to let me know. The only thing I may add at some point is an optional view that displays video previews alongside the grid since we now have that functionality in the latest versions of ES.

@joharibk Yes, pegasus runs well on my pi4. It's still in alpha, so I had to edit its config files like increasing the default 256p to 512p so it doesn't look blurry.

@joharibk

I redid all the stock type icons years back for the NeoGeo X and CPS. I have them somewhere.

Hopefully some more box art will be available soon.

[joharibk]

@legacy That is so cool.. how can I miss this. Looks so good with like minimal setup theme.

[ruckage]

I just finished all 229 square images that cover NeoGeo, CPS I/II/III ...

[joharibk]

@ruckage hell yeah! Tell me kind sir, when will you be sharing this.. haha..

[ruckage]

@joharibk
Won't be too long, in order to work best on the PI with the Neo Geo Mini theme they will need to be re-sized to the optimal size and compressed slightly so to minimise any lag. I'll release them with the full size images as well though (504x504) for those who might want them for other themes as preview images.

Here's what a few of the full size images look like:

[joharibk]

@ruckage WOW these looks so good! ill wait patiently.. I can't be the only one overly excited our this. lol...

@ruckage

Yes, I would love these.

Thank you for your work.

[Darksavior]

@joharibk Yep same here. I think the pegasus frontend can handle 504x504 box art on a pi4 so I'll only be converting them to jpg to save space.

My wife bought the retroflag SNES famicom and wanted a theme that look similar to the SNES mini 😂 put this together for her. Thank you @ruckage for this amazing theme. 😍😍

@joharibk that's good, but you know there's a snes mini theme already?!
