Neo Geo X Build
-
Added the Capcom system, I decided to have just a single system that covers CPS 1,2, and 3. I've also updated the selector bar as the latest version of ES has image support for the selector bar.
I removed the release date metadata as it didn't look right, ideally I would just show the year of release and have it centre aligned but unfortunately neither of those things are possible. It leaves a bit of a gap though so I will probably put something else in it's place.

Release date looked weird. Good call taking it out.
Theme looks fantastic. 👍

Incredible work, you are very talented! Can i but you to share with me how you got the players to act like the stars? I have not looked into it and thought maybe that was hard coded into ES so i just replace the stars graphic with my graphic under the same file name. I might steel your coding if you don't mind?!?

You're the first person to ask how I did the players :)
It's actually a special font I made. I figured that players in the xml are always represented by a number so I just made a font where each number shows the relevant number of player icons. This specific font goes up to 4 players but I can add up to 9 (I doubt many games go over 8 players.)
If you had a specific symbol that you'd like to represent the player icons then I'd be happy to make a player font for you.SNES mini/Nes mini/Famicom mini theme developer.

@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.

@TMNTturtlguy
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.SNES mini/Nes mini/Famicom mini theme developer.

@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.
-
@LiveFastCyYoung @edmaul69
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.

@ruckage
What do you personally use to edit/make fonts? -
@Syhles
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? -

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.

@ruckage
....Apparently I need to pay more attention.

Looking forward to this @ruckage keep up the great work!
-
Awesome! Cant wait to see this released... Hitting F5 all day long

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.
