Awesome skins! I love the Mario one.
The Zelda and Metriod ones are very nicely done, but I'm not much of a fan of either.

That's the danger of making something themed like I've done. Everyone has a game that's special to them, or a character or whatever so it's pretty hard to please everyone. I'm going to take a break from making anything new for a little while (however I'm still updating the default skin for nes6502 as well I'll be changing my other skins to conform to whatever he has in store for the new GUI). In the mean time I might fiddle with some stuff to see if I can come up with a more general skin, but like I said in this thread or the main zsnexbox thread (can't remember haha), I can't give any sort of a time line.

I'd love to see some stuff from other skinners if they're interested. I know asher posted a little while ago that he might be making something, he made quite a few for surreal that looked really nice.

Hey just some moving sprites to go with the awesome metroid skin

Samus in action

HERE

or

Samus in a more cartoonish way

HERE

Drop the png files into animated folder.
IMHO best viewed @ 3 fps and 0.1 speed in image settings.

BTW is there a way to loop the animation ? Cuz once isn't enough while browsing the roms

.

C'ya buddies.

It actually does loop. Just takes awhile. Maybe I can add an option to change how long the delay is.

I love the Mario skin. Any plans of updating it to 2.6 format?

Yup, I was working on it tonight actually. I want to make it look better than it currently does (or what people have seen anyway haha). Even though this was the first skin I started on, it kind of fell behind as I worked on the zelda/metroid skins, so I'm messing with it now to see what improvements I can come up with. You should see it sometime soon.

And thanks

Hi,
I am from Germany, that is the reason why my english is not so good...

I like the 360glass Skins for any Emulator made by EBear. But a Skin for ZsnexBox does not exist. And here is my idea to create one to complete my 360 Glass skins. The Pics for Background and Loading are already done. But how can I place the Romlist to the right position

Here are some screenshots of my Backgrounds:

The Gameselect Screen:

The Mainmenu Screen:

The Emuload Screen:

Your images HAVE to be in .png format. As well make all screens 640x480.

O.K, First. Copy the Zelda skin over to your computer and rename the folder to '360' (or whatever you want). Then replace the images in the folder with the ones you made (re-naming them appropriately). And rename Zelda.ini to 360.ini (whatever you named the folder the files are in). Then upload this new folder back in to the skins directory for ZsnexBox.

In Zsnexbox you can move everything, the text and the previews etc. Go into GUI options and then Text Options. In this menu you can move the rombrowser text, the main menu text, and all of the other text in the emulator.

If you go into the GUI options, then Image Options you can move the preview, preview border, logo's and animations.

Once you have everything where you want it exit zsnexbox and go to your Dashboard. Now, FTP in and go to E:\ZsnexBox\ini and copy the zsnexbox25.ini over to your computer (it holds all of the changes you just made to your skin). Rename the copied ini to 360.ini (or whatever you named the folder your skin is in) and replace the old 360.ini in your skins folder (on your xbox) with this new one. Now the changes will be saved even if you switch skins.

Thanks for your quick reply...

My Skin is finished, but I have no folder namend ini. and I do not have a zsnexbox25.ini. I use Zsnexbox 2.6.

Another problem I have: I want to replace the icons of Surreal64xxx/ZsneXbox in the dashboard with icons I made myself. For all other emulators I created the default.tbn myself but the pictures of the icons from Surreal64xxx/ZsneXbox are integrated in the default.xbe. How can I delete the icon in the default.xbe or can I adjust the program that the default.tbn is loaded?
I think there is the possibility to compile it when I download the sourcecode. Download is no problem, but I haven't got the skill to compile it myself.

Can you help me again???

Thx
FiReSt0nE

There is no folder called ini
Copy the ZsnexBox25/26/27, etc... ini into your skin folder and rename it.
There is no source code available

What do your icons look like?

Here's a look at the updated mario skin included in the ZsnexBox 2.8 release (and all future releases).

Yoshi's tongue on the rombrowser is animated! As well all the logos are animated.

Hey neverwill I got a really cool idea for a skin. Maybe you could make a super mario kart based skin, and as an animation you could have the go carts racing around on screen or fighting or something like that. I found some nice super mario kart art you might like.
