That would be nice, but if I'm the only one who needs it don't bother if it's too much work.

Also,

What is the 'options.jpg' image used for, I notice the actual options screen uses the 'controller.jpg' as does the ingame menu (right thumb stick click)?

It's still being loaded, but it might not be used since 1.5. I'll have to check.

Here's a preview of what I'm working on so far.



Comments and criticism is appreciated. Is there anything you'd like to see, anything you don't like etc.

(I didn't post larger individual images because I don't want anyone to use this until it's done, which might mean waiting till the next release so I can use .png images and get rid of the dark overlay on the options menu.)

Edit-
Oh, and as you can see I chose to go with 'more fun' haha, instead of the darker skin I was doing before.

Very nice. I personally would like the S to be lower case or all the letters to be upper case or upper case Z and B but that's just my preference (feel free to ignore it)

Will that options screen be used for all the option screens? I don't think there is enough room for the controller config. It would be great if I could get the options to fit under the blue title bar.

I like how the option screen overlaps the rombrowser.

I wouldn't mind working on this actually. I really liked how surreal 64 xxx turned out (the whole style felt VERY nintendo 64). So my question is, should I stick with the darker green and black that I did originally back for v1.4 (based off of the color scheme in nes's logo) or should I brighten it up and make it, I don't know, funner (if you want to call it that   )?

I'll see what I can do, I'm not making any promises as of yet though.

Honestly, the green/black skin was ok, but maybe go for something else in "dark" colors.
For example i think your "game On" skin for XXX is absolutely amazing, something based off grey/white/black could look really good.

Doesn't *have* to be based around the colors in nes' logo.

very true

update--(should I be starting my own thread, reason I ask is it seems I might be flooding this one with things that aren't actually downloads).



I would also include a slightly different image that would accomodate for the taller japanese box art.

@nes- The only menu item that doesn't fit properly into the options screen is the 'gui options' menu, everything else fits fine, including the controller options. I could shrink the size of the blue bar at the top, but that just makes every other menu item look kind of funny.

What does everyone think of the more cartooney look. I always thought it fit nintendo better.

Anyway, @XaRaNn, game on turned out to be actually one of my least favorites haha. It seems that while I'm working on something I'll think that it's awesome, then as soon as I release it I think that I could have done better.

I could easily change the color scheme of this to be darker. Plus, originally I didn't mean that I HAD to stick to the color scheme of nes's logo, just if everyone was crazy about the original (for 1.4) I could keep up with that. I guess I could always release two skins.

No no no no no no no no. All Zsnexbox skin related material here.

Seeing the actual development in the skins exactly as you're showing and asking for suggestions is exactly what this thread is all about.

[XaRaNn]

Neverwill : well it seems thats how it goes with most artists, probably good in the end, makes you want to improve yourself.

GameOn is definately my favorite XXX skins, but ive used and really like the mario3d, and the zelda ones like skullkid and a deku one too if i recall correctly.

ANYWAYS a bit slow today, my last post was made whitout noticing this thread had a second page and seeing the actual progress.

The new mario/yoshi skin is very nice. When it's released i'll definately use it. The comment based on making something else darker was just based on how i liked your XXX dark ones.
If you ever feel like making one i'll be looking for it.

law56ker are you or were you ever involved with dreamcast emulation as well?

Yes I still have my dreamcast and all the cool emulators for it. Too bad now it seems kinda slow I was hoping for a new release of the genesis emulator Genplus i think it was called. The nesterdc se is an amazing nes emulator by  Scherzo. The dreamcast is what really got me started into emulation and homebrew on consoles.

Maybe you could have more variety in the nintendo characters you use on each of the individual parts of the skin.

That was my next question, did you do a skin like the one you did on here for nesterdc SE? I don't have the skin but it's very familiar looking to one I saw when it first came out, both pictures you used.

I for one think there's never enough Kirby in these skins.

[Foe-hammer]

@neverwill

Awesome, you're back!  Now we have a pro making a skin for us.

I personally loved the Zelda/Link (color and scheme) of the N64 skin.  Something along that line would be great.

Also, the skin you posted looks great; albeit a little to 'cute' for me.

[Foe-hammer]

After thinking a bit, a Super Metroid theme would be most fitting for SNES skin.  IMO, it was the game that defined the SNES.  That along with forest green, or dark blue color, or a mix of the two, would look great.

Anyhow, i look forward to whatever you do.

QUOTE(Kanyero @ Jul 11 2006, 11:26 AM)

your old samus + mario green skin was awesome too... do you think you will update it ?

Thanks a lot

I might, I mean I basically only have to change a few things.

@ Foe Hammer, I might make different character variations on this like I did with surreal. Or I could make a completely seperate super metroid skin. I'm not sure yet.

@ Anyone-
Do you prefer having a bunch of characters mixed on ONE skin, or do you like to have a theme (like mario and yoshi together)?

-neverwill

EDIT--
Also, if I bring back the other skin, I need to make some other design changes. Was it just me or did it all look kind of squished and not all that clear when it was on a t.v screen? (I use a 4:3 t.v).
