@Nismo - awesome work! Thank you so much for your efforts. Do you have a certain order that you're working through the various systems?

Nismo

@Jeck11 Thanks. The short answer is no. I'm focusing a bit on media packs now, I have a lot of more created, but need a bit of time for uploading.

Also I did a lot of fixes in the theme, some system logos was too dark on basic and detailed view, fixed fba marquee size, added more systems, and i'm editing the 3dbox image when no game found more cool, but now I need to edit on all systems I made.

My goal it's to upload mediapack when adding a new system to the theme so I want to update all mediapacks for existing systems in the theme before launching the new theme update. (Depends on my time).

Nismo

Atari 2600 update completed. Ready for download.

Nismo

Updated Atari 5200 gamelist some bad entries fixed.

Nismo

Replaced all 3dboxes versions for Atari 7800 for better ones, if you downloaded before please download it again. Sorry but it's a work in progress.

New version of the tools with the "characters after a dot" bug fixed. Please if you use the tools download it again.

Nismo

Atari lynx, added alien vs predator, centipede, eye of the beholder and Loopz marquees.

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?
