I agree......Those emulator wide icons are really nice....

I would love them to have posters for my emulators tho....and wide icons inside....i think it would look nicer...

I'm really crap tho...when i posted mine everybody said they were rubbish...and for good reason...

Hey guys...  These all look great!

I haven't forgotten about the wide icon project.  I've just been a bit preoccupied with the Xtras stuff recently.  Any chance you guys could send me packs of your artwork so I don't have to go back through a month or more of threads (many months if it takes me a while to get back to this)?  

Much appreciated if you could.  I'll get your stuff integrated into the wide icon pack then.

Thanks,
~Rx

Sounds good. Probably a long shot but I don't suppose you have a list of what you've already collected? Obviously there's almost everything to go, but when it comes to deciding what to make I can't tell if its been done before unless I remember seeing it in this thread.

Wow... that's actually a really good idea.  

Unfortunately, I haven't actually sat down and done anything with the individual game icons like I did with everything else.  I'm really busy doing the Xtras work for the emulators and it's much higher priority right now.  When I was putting this pack together it was on a down-time weekend when nothing was really happening with the emulators and I wanted to get away from Xtras testing and gathering for a while.

Someday I will do this.  In the mean time, if somebody wanted to sort out what game icons I have in my pack now and list them for us, I will start a new google spreadsheet listing what games are already done.

Also, we would have to go back and collect the images from the last 2 months or so (whatever day I put out the last release).

What do you guys think?  Would you like to help me compile this list?  If we got it up to date today it would be easy to keep it up to date if everyone involved had access to the spreadsheet for editing.

Hey everyone,

Nate1579 has said that he would help compile a list of icons we've already created.  If anyone else wants to help out as well that would be great.

Here's the basic list: WIDE ICONS SPREADSHEET

Let me know if we need more info or anything to improve it.  

If you want to help out with a list, drop me your gmail address and I'll give you access to the list.  This could be a great way for people currently making icons to know what is already out there.  It's also a good way to make sure the original artists get the credit for their work, and if the artists choose they could just enter their own info into the spreadsheet as they create the icons.

That sounds great man.  It may be a little tricky figuring out who the artist is on some of the stuff in my pack, so we'll have to deal with that when we get to it.  Just fill out what you can in the mean time and eventually we'll get everything correctly attributed to the right artist.

Thanks for volunteering to do this!

nate1579, once you're through Rx's pack let us know and we can send what we've done til then. Saves a lot of right-clicking.

Sounds great man.  You guys are really making awesome stuff here and it deserves to be preserved in a pack that will live on.   There were so many dead threads that had these wide icons for games, systems, apps, and other misc stuff that many can see for the first time with this pack.  

I also think that knowing what icons are already out there and having a place where the artist is credited for the work will encourage more people to make wide icons for all the great (and not-so-great) games out there.

Nate's already made some progress if you look at the spreadsheet now.

Looking forward to seeing how this develops.

[pkbunghole]

[nate1579]

Ok i got about 21 left so every can start sending me there please label console makes it so much easier i don't know every game.


RX do you want me to categorize the other wide icons also

[ressurectionx]

Sure!  That'd be great Nate.

You're really kicking ass on this, huh?

Are you putting the images in folders with the console name too?  If you have them separated like that I'm sure people will point out if any of those images are in the wrong category. (I know we weren't sure exactly where all of them belonged).

These are all really great and beautiful guys!
Have any of you ever considered making skins for the emulators (minus sotu and frank of course)
You should look into dynamic skin creation with Gilles9999.

Thanks
