      @ruckage That is genius! Let me noodle on it a bit and get back to you! I am leaving for a work trip in an hour so I don't have much time until this weekend. Thanks for the offer and I will let you know if i come up with anything.

        No problem. If you do decide you'd like me to make the font you'd just need to find a single colour symbols as obviously the fonts don't support full colour, any format for the image would be fine as I can easily vectorize it.

          @ruckage are you going to release this with all the graphics? Not sure how i would get the title logos. Do they scrape from somewhere or are you creating them?

            @edmaul69 I can't speak for ruckage but it looks like it was scrapped via UXS and making a mix profile of video and title screen. Just speculating though.

              No, not a mix profile, I'm using video view so that I can display a marquee and preview image. The title logos are wheel images from hyperspin (I think they can be scraped as well though). However they are modified to give them the border.

              When I release the theme I'll upload the modified logos as well. The theme will only be for the few systems I've mentioned though as I still have a lot of work to do on the Nes mini theme.

                @ruckage ok. Thats what i thought because of how they had the glow. There are some pre cps capcom games finalburn runs that would be cool to have included as well. I can give you the list of those games if you wanted to include them. Games like legendary wings and ghosts n goblins really should be on your system.

                  What do you personally use to edit/make fonts?

                    Sorry for the late reply. I use bitfontmaker for the pixel fonts and FontForge to make the player icons.

                    I've made a bit more progress, I've got the system select/carousel done now.

                      Wow, that cab looks great - really jealous. Did you build it yourself?

                      Sorry for the late reply. :-)

                      I don't have knowledge/tools for woodwork. I bought that cab. There's a guy here in Brazil who nake it in a way that it can be sent through mail and you just have to connect the parts and screw them.

                      For your cab though I guess the Neogeo system style alone would be ideal.

                      You're right! I see you're making them with some differences. I think I can tweak the theme to make every system look like that neogeo style

                      Also the wheel/marquee images are customized to add that border around them. I can probably do a complete arcade wheel set though if needed as I have a photoshop batch setup to do it, it will just take a while to process.

                      I think ImageMagick can help with this task too. I'll try something when I have time for it.

                      Cheers!

                        How are you accomplishing the transparency on the system select screen?

                          Do you mean for the carousel? It does that by default, it's just usually there is a white bar behind them which I've removed by making it entirely transparent.

                                  I've edited SNK's new logo video to make an updated Neo Geo boot animation which I plan to use as a video splashscreen for when my system boots.

                                          Thanks, where can I cash in these rupees :D

                                          Most of the credit needs to go to SNK themselves as it's their base logo video which looks and sounds so good, I just added in the 'neo geo' and 'max 300 mega, pro gear spec ' parts. Just in case you hadn't seen the unedited SNK intro I'll post it below so you can compare.
