Zsnexbox Skins Discussion
« on: June 30, 2006, 08:20:00 PM »

To the 3 of you who don't know, Zsnexbox is an Xbox port of the legendary Zsnes emulator. Ported by nes6502, this port has seen an impressive amount of updates in the short time it's been around. With more and more features added every release Zsnexbox is becoming a serious choice in the Xbox Snes emulation scene.

As of this writing, the one area Zsnexbox is lacking is in the skin department. There are reasons for this. Zsnexbox GUI has been adjusted in many versions, new Zsnexbox releases are frequent and the port itself is very young. Skins have been posted from thread to thread but its been scattered and many of these skins are already obsolete.

More and more people are starting to talk about skinning Zsnexbox and this is where this thread comes in. This thread will serve as full discussion and submission thread for Zsnexbox skins of all versions. That's not to say we're all going to sit around making 1.3 skins but if there happened to be a 1.3 skin that you liked, this is where you could request that the original author update their skin to reflect the current version of Zsnexbox. Also in this thread, feel free to ask for feedback on your skins, give suggestions to those asking for feedback, give open suggestions to skin artist, make GUI suggestions (skin chooser ect) and anything else related to skins.

As of now, this thread will probably start out slow. As long as we keep all skin related matters here for all releases of Zsnexbox I think this could become quite the collective resource. The more people who get involved in this thread the more inspiration will be thrown around and the more will be made. Granted, I doubt there will be millions of skins for this one emulator but who knows? It's all for fun, to show of your skills and fluff in the end. If this thread doesn't get used, oh well but it would help keep the Zsnexbox release threads a bit cleaner if nothing else.

Here's what I've collected so far from searching around. I wouldn't be suprised if I missed anything so feel free to add to what I have. This is for all versions remember so not all of these will work in the current version, hopefully a good many of the original artist will check in.

The following are only modifiers to the front menu

Full Theme

by Wesker of speksnk' forums

Awesome Theme for 1.3/1.4
Found on this page http://www.speksnk.o...?...16&start=30

nes6502 has included latest PSD for Zsnexbox v2.0 with the emulator.

With the help of Thraxen and nes6502 I might be able to keep an up to date link on this post.

nes6502 does not think there be many more text adjustments in the GUI for now, meaning skins may not become obsolete due to spacing for a while if at all anymore.

Let me start of this thread by saying Wesker of speksnk's theme was an instant favorite of mine and if Kanyero happens to see this perhaps the word could be spread to him that I would love to see an update to his skin. (I don't speak the language)

Have fun and keep the critism constructive.

I will start including all the PSD files in future releases and/or upload them somewhere to aid skin developers.

I'm working on a skin to go with my logo, (the one in nes' sig) It may be some time until I finish it though. I'm working in France at the moment for the next month or so and don't get much free time.

Nice topic!

I did mention my interest in make a contribution with skins and icons
few time ago (we were in the 1.3 version I think). Now I see the correct
time has arrived.

May I just post here JPG shots plus the PSD files (on a link)?

Clean, simple and direct skins.

I'd plug http://xbox.nugnugnug.com as the perfect permanent hassle-free host for all such skins.  It's currently the host for the box covers.  guybird has just added more box covers for your SNES enjoyment as a preview of things to come.  This site lives for hosting emulator add-ons.  Hit it up.

Mister Dohopoki,

Please note these are very quick and siple skins. I am thinking

I'm going to wait on that idea for a while.

Meaning there's something I need to find that I thought I had on hand and something I need to make that might take longer than I planned.

As a note, i obviously don't have much image editing, even less skinning skills, but here's some rombrowsers i've personally been using for zsnexbox.
Basicly all i did was resize some cool snes-related images i had collected to 648x480 so they look nice.

First one is a very nice retro art piece about super mario bros.

Second is about the oh so great Super Metroid, i love this one.

Third is our buddy Fox from Star Fox. That one i haven't got to use yet, so the main fox picture may be too hidden by gui items to look nice since it's in the middle.
