Neo Geo X Build

@cyperghost thanks for your hard work, please move this conversation out of @ruckage thread and over to our other thread dedicated to this topic. Thanks!

I've been batch converting the logos so that there will be a set that covers the vast majority of arcade games (over 6000 tiltles covered). I have a question though regarding the naming convention.
Would you prefer using the marquees in there own folder using the same name as the rom?
e.g mslug.pngOr named with the suffix -marquee (I think that is the sselph scraper default) so that they can be placed with all other images?
e.g. mslug-marquee.png -
@ruckage with the suffix, please! :-)
-
I would rather prefer no suffix but I can always batch rename them later.
I separate my marquee images in a folder.NeoGeo (147) and Capcom (73) would be enough for starters, at least for me.
All the other Mame 4,5,6000+ games can be added as update later on if someone needs it.Curious to see how you gonna show the RetroPie settings menu.

I separate my marquee images in a folder.Already done them with the suffix now but as you say a batch-rename is easy to do if you need it removed.
NeoGeo (147) and Capcom (73) would be enough for starters, at least for me.
All the other Mame 4,5,6000+ games can be added as update later on if someone needs it.I've actually already done all mame games now (most of them anyway, all that were in the hyperspin wheelpack). I haven't sorted them in any way so they are all together. I've also made launch images for all the games as well in 2 styles:
Curious to see how you gonna show the RetroPie settings menu.
Not sure what you mean by that, could you clarify O.o?

Wow, you sure work fast.
How do you get the loading screen for each game? I must have missed that mod.@ruckage said in Neo Geo X Build:

Here in this post of yours you show the system view. Which looks really awesome.
And I wonder how the RetroPie Settings system menu will look like without disturbing the themes great look and feel. -
Ah, I see what you mean. That's easy to answer, it looks like this:
-
Hahaha....awesome!
Boy this theme is gonna be great.
Regarding the custom loading screen per game, never mind. Found it in the wiki.https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/runcommand#adding-custom-launching-images

Boy this theme is gonna be great. My wife left for a 1 week trip today and I have all the time in the world to set this up. That if this will be released within 1 week.Regarding the custom loading screen per game, never mind. Found it in the wiki.

I certainly hope to have it released within a week, just trying to get everything sorted so everything needed is available at the same time. Currently compressing the marquees/launch screens with pngoo as that dramatically improves file size which is important with this many files (as an example the marquess went from 714MB down to 254MB which is a big difference.
Sorry for not answering you question about the launch images, I realised just after I posted the last message and was just about to reply with instructions but I see you found the wiki article anyway.

No worries, I always like to ask first and search later which is a stupid habit of mine.
Keep up the good work and no rush, well only a bit maybe. ;-)
This is so exciting.... -
I know you are probably still working on this theme but i was curious to know if you could find all marquees for CPS.
I have a total of 77 CPS (CPS I-III) roms and when I scrape them there are some marquees missing. Probably not available. -

Tell me what Capcom marques you have missing and I can check if I have them? -
I have 77 CPS games and only 160 images, marquees and videos total so I am 71 of something short.
Let me check once what exactly is missing and I'll let you know.You are gonna include those marquees of yours with that white, grey, black border right?

Urrggghh FUCK ME THIS IS A GREAT THREAD. Can't believe I have only just found it now. @ruckage your NeoGeo theme looks AWESOME man I can't wait for you to release it. I don't mind at all that it's only NeoGeo and CPS systems, I'll make Pi builds dedicated to this!
NeoGeo is my absolute favourite, I just recently got my hands on a working 1 slot motherboard and have a 4 slot im trying to bring back from the dead. Also sourced an original NeoGeo red cab to put them in!
Again, freaking awesome work man. Just 10/10 all around.
-
@ruckage is there any update on when you might release the theme even if just in Beta ?
-
eta on release date pls... :)
-
When it's ready. I made a mistake when batch processing the marquees so I need to re-do them (working on it now).
-
you duh man RUCK, cant wait to put it in my neo-geo cabinet! also is it a solo neo-geo only theme?
