Oldroom theme W.I.P. new 1.9 Beta + media packs

Nismo

Atari lynx, made missing images and marquees from scratch, system media 100% completed . If you downloaded it before, download again.

Nismo

Updated all Atari 7800 stuff, added missing media, now 100% completed except for prototypes.

All videos are USA versions, except for the games only made for europe, if you have europe roms, use fatmatch program provided in tools, it will rename the videos and marquees and create duplicates for you to match all romset.

@Nismo What's your source for the artwork and videos? Are you using emumovies as a source?
Do you use the no-intro sets as a base for consoles and Tosec for the computer systems? For CD Only consoles Ps1, Sega CD do you use Redump or Trurip?

Nismo

@Rion For videos i'm downloading from here: http://www.arcadepunks.com/download-hyperspin-video-media/

But for better filesize, and to no overheat rpi, I'm re-encoding the videos to max 480 width, and max 25 fps, with good compromise about quality and filesize.

I also compress 3D boxes and marquees.

If some video, 3d box, or marquee (wheel) doesn't exist, I create it from scratch.

About computers, I didn't touch anything yet, I'm working with consoles right now, and using no-intro romsets.

What you recomend for computers and CDs?

Amiga roms I have are in WHDload format.

Regards.

Rion

@Nismo Well this is just my personal preferences but this what i use

No-Intro, Tosec & Trurip

Stay away from Redump for cd based system if you can. If you don't want to end up with multiple *.bin files that you have to rebuild or audio tracks seperated from the image to conserve space and has to be convertet to wav and then rebuilt again in to the iso/bin, cue.

No-Intro for consoles.
Tosec for Computer systems
Trurip for cd based systems

Nismo

@Rion I don't have any .bin files... XD. For psx I use PBP format. For PS2 games y use maxcso, for dreamcast i use chd... etc.

Lot of space saving, keep in mind I use it on windows so i have no processing power limits for compressed games.

Thanks for the tips.

Nismo

@Rion For amiga CD32... tosec or trurip? and for amiga cdtv?

Nismo

Updated nintendo nes, added more images, gamelist updated because it has bad entries in a few games, it's a must to download the new gamelist.

@Nismo said in Oldroom theme W.I.P. + media packs:

@Rion For amiga CD32... tosec or trurip? and for amiga cdtv?

Trurip

Nismo

Neo Geo upload completed.

Rion

@Nismo Im looking at your artwork and I'm impressed. Would you mind sharing these to @screech over at screenscraper.fr . Don't want these getting lost. The more the database is growing the better for everyone 😉

Nismo

@Rion Honestly, I had not stopped to think about it.

Anyway, maybe when I finish this work, I'll get to it. Making the theme , missing 3d boxes and wheel art at the same time it's very time consuming to me.

I don't know why, but screenscraper.fr webpage sometimes it's a lot of slooowww for me. It's takes from 40 seconds to 1 min to load. Now I tested it again and seems a bit faster, but this morning was unusable.

Of course I don't mind to share all the stuff with @screech, I didn't know there was his webpage. You can see i'm sharing it with everybody... :)

Nismo

Sega game gear uploaded, a few missing images... lot of work to me...

sergioad

It looks amazing, why do you not speak with the RetroPie devs to upload it to the ES themes repo / downloader?

Nismo

@sergioad Maybe when finished. XD

sergioad

Ok, do you have allready NeoGeo pocket color, Wonderswan, Wonderswan color, Amiga, Virtual boy and ZX spectrum?

Nismo

@sergioad If you see the videos at first post you can see that amiga and zxspectrum are in the theme.

I'm working in the other systems, if you read the first post (and the title of the thread) this is still a work in progress.
