Custom SVG logos

UDb23

Fresh baked vector images for Fighting games fans:

RYU

CHUN-LI

MAI

Could be used as ES SVG logos for a custom dedicated SF o KoF "cores".
Not tested yet for performance; probably they require a Pi3 for smooth ES logo scroll.
If anyone interested I'll share'em for download.

FlyingTomahawk

Holy shit! Those fighting characters are very well done. I'm sure that wasn't easy with all the texture.
Well done!

@FlyingTomahawk It's a pity ES doesn't support SVG blurring.
But they still look good at ES logo size.

FlyingTomahawk

Yeah, too bad. :(
Are those characters also included in your custom svg package? I would love to get Ryu. Would be a good match for my CPS system.

UDb23

@FlyingTomahawk Not yet. I'll include them & upload over the next days.
BTW these SVGs are actually full figure images; screenshots I posted are just crops.

Downloadable here. Haven't tested it with ES yet.

@UDb23

Thank you!
Man, that Ryu has sooooo many objects!

How long did it take you to create this?

UDb23

@FlyingTomahawk Most part is automatic conversion (free website: https://www.vectorizer.io/).
The work is then fixing and adjusting that conversion... and yes, it still takes quite significant time.

Found a huge archive of vector logos (Arcade, Consoles, Manufacturers etc) here.
Author is THK, section admin to the HS forum's artwork section.
They are mainly in .AI (Adobe illustrator vector format) and, converted to SVG, some of these they can be really useful for theme and overlay creation for Retropie.

Still it does not include some logos made for retropie so far ;-)

FlyingTomahawk

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

Thats a great link, thanks for sharing: these will come in handy as I progress through my box art restorations!

KillerContusion

Thanks for creating these. They look and work great! I was curious if you might be able to create something specific for Vector based games(ex. Tempest, Asteroids, Battlezone, Star Wars etc.) Maybe something like Vector Arcade Classics or Vector Games. Right now I am using MAME 1.4 to strictly run a list of these Vector games and then using MAME2003 for my main arcade set but that gives me two MAME logos on my list. Would be nice to just have a logo for the Vector games list itself. Thanks!

@KillerContusion Having a logo for ES for vector games is a good idea. Will think about a specific design/artwork and let you know. Could be based on original marquee or fonts of one of these famous vector classics.
When you say mame1.4 I suppose you mean advancemame ( now 3.x); it's best for emulating vectors in high res.

@UDb23 How about vector lines?

@KillerContusion You should look into using the Arcade folder. You have to manage your ROMs carefully, as you put different roms from different sets into that folder and launch each ROM with a specific emulator (selected at launch using RunCommand). But, if you are able to keep track of what you use to launch each ROM (I specify lr-mame2003 by default, then only specify Advmame1.4 for the vector games) the result is that you have just one ARCADE emulator menu instead of two MAMEs.

UDb23

@lilbud Of course logo should be made of vector lines :-)

It's a good point. Personally I used the arcade folder to place all arcade classics there (and have replaced the logo with my "arcade classics" one).

But maybe @KillerContusion wants to have a separate "group" just for Vector games so he could "duplicate" the arcade theme and rename the new copy to Vectors and apply new vector logo.

@UDb23 I like the idea of separate groups. I'm working on doing this for Light Gun games. Been testing those out recently to confirm which ones work on retropie.

UDb23

@HurricaneFan Nice! Let us know on the results.
So far I read that it wasn't really working with modern LCD screens and/or Gun too expensive.
Would love to see Operation Wolf working with the Light gun.

HurricaneFan

@UDb23 I'm using a wiimote and a DolphinBar sensor bar. If I can get enough games working though, I'm going to splurge for an Aimtrak gun.
