Can't wait to see your dynamic skins Frank...

Glad you think so highly of the emu so far man. A lot of brainstorming and work have gone into this so far. I can't wait to see a synopsis-based sort/filter function!

It's funny when I go back to one of the non-beta emus I have that haven't been updated at all and how frustrated I get because the menus are completely different than what I've become used to. Soon everyone will understand just how different and streamlined everything is becoming.

Don't sweat the English man. You're doing muy bien (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

Only other language I can speak is Pig-Latin and a few swears or pickup lines in various languages.

At least I can write English well though. I've seen people born and raised here that write like English was their third language.

Later,

P.S. Madmab's been gone for a while (if you didn't know already). That's why there's been little action in the XPORT forum the last few days.

People shouldn't be putting two things on the buttons that control movement or the gamepad "in-game", and even if they do for things like "save game" or other options, they definately wouldn't use two buttons in place of the NES A button. If the emu looks for just the values contained in the "A Button", "B Button", "Select Button" and "Start Button" for the NES this shouldn't be much of a problem.

And about the color, yeah that's kind of a bummer that we can't use the color if we're pulling this info from the config, but I think that being accurate is more important than asthetics in this case.

Whoops forgot to mention that, uh, isn't that what the controller configuration screen is for anyways?

ressurectionx · « **Reply #108 on:** April 05, 2009, 10:50:00 AM »

The controller configuration screen is a nightmare to navigate for me and I've done it tons of times before. Nobody would go there to see what the "accurate" button configurations were.

The help screen for the controller should show accurate information, which would changed based on what the user has set the controls to.

I've been playing MAME CoinOPS a while now. I hate the standard they chose for the buttons which is the use of the XBox A & B buttons for the 2 button games. I feel more comfortable using X & A buttons. If we had a static screen made for that one right now it would be inaccurate after I changed the configuration.

I'd almost rather just leave this out if we can't pull the config information since it wouldn't be accurate.

Awwwwww man......

Gilles! We gotta have a new skin made for the wicked new Dreamcast emulator!

Hey stupot1,

The only problem with that is that the arrows do serve a purpose when navigating directories. How to distinguish a legitimate directory from one housing your games?

One good fix I used for this was making the CD's I'd ever play a favorite. Then it shows up just fine on your favorites list.

Whenever we finally get "multiple favorites", you could make a favorites list that only contained the Sega CD games and that would eliminate your problem all together.

I really think the ability to call up multiple favorites lists is going to be a very much used feature in the future.

What's the benefit of having the games in separate folders?

ressurectionx · « **Reply #112 on:** April 07, 2009, 12:02:00 PM »

Because if you have 100 CD games and you throw them all in one folder you have to scroll through every mp3 and other file to go through the games. If you have the extentions turned off (which I do because it looks a lot cleaner) it's a guessing game which one to pick. You still have the guessing game problem when they're in folders, but that's why I put good CD games as favorites so it's easy to start the game.

Great work here, nice to see some life injected into the emulation scene.

But...I can't seem to get any of them to proplerly look like the previews. I know it says they aren't fully functional, but I can't even get Zsnes to load at all, using 3.5. I just get a white screen with yellow menu?

With mednafenx nes v10, I can't get a "Skin setting" or "general setting" button either. The previews look awesome though. Any advice?

Thanks.

QUOTE(killergorilla @ Apr 7 2009, 02:08 PM)

Why not just filter the file extensions out?

I have NeoGenesis setup to only display zip|iso files so you never see any of the mp3 files in the list at all.

That would work too

ressurectionx · « **Reply #115 on:** April 09, 2009, 09:22:00 AM »

Hey Gilles,

Did you already do a Watara Supervision and Neo Geo Pocket Dynamic Skin? I can't remember, and I don't seem to have them. Just wondering why I put them on the main post here if they hadn't been made yet.

ressurectionx · « **Reply #116 on:** April 12, 2009, 07:20:00 PM »

How do you decrease the width of the word-wrap in the "View Text"? I can make black go over the text by using the right thumbstick, but itjust covers up words, it doesn't actually bring the words to wrap within the width of my screen. Really a bummer because the synopsis looks pretty cool in the "View Text" but I can't read about 1/8th of the text that disappears over the right side of the screen.

EDIT: What do you guys think about putting the "Configure Skin" menu under the "Configuration" menu? I was thinking the other day that may be a good idea, but now that I'm looking at Genesis and I see that the "Launch Inserted CD" option is there it makes arrows and scrolling necessary and I think it doesn't look so great. I know if we did this, then on most emulators the bottom button would be empty, but I think that's okay personally. What do you think?

ressurectionx · « **Reply #117 on:** April 13, 2009, 12:49:00 PM »

Yeah... I thought that might be the answer. I just got to thinking yesterday that the main screen looks a little needlessly cluttered with two configuration options. Oh well....

ressurectionx · « **Reply #118 on:** April 16, 2009, 06:06:00 PM »

I haven't used the ZSNESXbox ones yet, but you won't be able to do any of that on XPORT skins until the beta is released.

I made a Surreal 64 PM3 style skin myself to hold me over until the pros make one. It actually turned out pretty good but I wasnt sure how to change the text from red to green (or yellow). Check it out..
