New Comic Book Theme!

[holy2tack]

I use Launchbox/Big Box for my main PC set up. I wonder how easy it would be to port this over and incorporate videos. Anyone here have experience making themes for BigBox? If not looks like I'll be teaching myself something else.

[holy2tack]

I made some alternate system logos and launching screens for the SNES (US) and SNES Hacks to match more the gray/purple color scheme of the physical console. Also made one for the MSU-1 hacks.

Also a couple new rips.

Everyone's favorite dragon!

One more than I have to pack for my trip.

I took an actual picture of this one because it looked so good. I didn't go with any in game screenshots of this because Breath of Fire artwork is just so beautiful

I had a little fun with the shadows on this one to try to get the color depth feel that all the BoF logos have.

One major thing I realized after this one is I didn't actually apply the texture to any of the "comic.png"s. If anyone wants to help me figure that out, i'd appreciate it. I'm going to spend a little time trying to figure it out before I pack for my trip, if not I'll get to it Sunday night.

Edit: It seems to be a faded layer of some sort, but I'm not sure how to do it. So if anyone has some tips, that would be awesome.

[holy2tack]

Okay. What I did is I copied all the images and made a new layer as a copy. Then I added a pixelate filter of 4 pixels. Then I right clicked the new layer and chose blending options. Normal blending 30%. Then the next one was advanced blending and I chose 70%. I think it came out pretty good. Nothing but good old poking around with some trial and error.

Really happy with how this logo turned out.

I also made this to replace the super famicom rip so it's not using the same one as SNES.

Love this theme, one of my favorites. I am having an issue I hadn't found a solution to yet. Originally I had been using this in Recalbox, as well Retropie, (a few updates ago). Having come back to retropie and fresh install this theme was the first to install from source. The framerate, no matter what vram is set to, on a clean install seems to be...kind of frameskipping. It no longer moves smoothly between consoles, but now stutters a little. None of the other themes exhibit this behavior. Im not a big fan of instant transitions and miss how smooth it seemed to run previously. Anyone else see this? Pi3 is overclocked to 3.5 but was same problem before the OC. Thanks again.

@TMNTturtlguy do you have a contact? I have a quick question for you regarding theme dev.

[TMNTturtlguy]

@holy2tack WOW - nice work on all of the theme content! I have been away for a few months and not had a chance to even come look at the forum, but nice work on creating all of this! I like it

[TMNTturtlguy]

@dra6n Sorry, i have not been able to spend much time on hobbies lately. I have not been able to get onto the forum in some time. What is your question?

[TMNTturtlguy]

@retroprogrammer sorry for the late reply. I have been absent for a few months. I am sure by now that you have probably found a solution for your artwork. I have in the past created custom artwork for some friends of mine. If you still need some help please reach out to me and let me know and we can discuss further.
