In honor of CoinOps R4 which allows us to use XBMC shortcuts to launch roms now I have created the following wide icons.  I cannot take credit for any of the assets for these.  Most come from the Hyperspin themes available at hyperspin-fe.com.  I can only take credit for composing these and some in-game assets into what you see here.

If you enjoy these let me know and I'll post some more later on.

BillyBobX,

Would you mind sharing an example of one of your Coinop Ignite .cuts?  Your mention of them working is the first I've heard and I'm unable to get them to launch.

thanks

[sotu]

nvm I figured it out.  I had R3.

Code is the same format as FBA, ie:

<shortcut>
   <path>f:\Games\CoinOPS IGNITE\default.xbe</path>
   <label>1943kai</label>
   <thumb>f:\emulator icons\</thumb>  
      <custom>
         <game>1943kai.zip</game>
      </custom>
</shortcut>

k sounds good ill add it to my list of things to do
Does anyone like the idea of transparent
wide icons?

Wide icons would be cool transparent I think, as long as they would look good with the rest of the icons since I think a lot less of them would be made.

Nice work while I was gone guys.  Love seeing new icons  

[ressurectionx]

Damn dude... nice images you found for some of the more obscure consoles.  You should talk to Gilles and see if he could use any of those for the Dynamic Skins.

Almost a full set there.

NateDOG!  FANTASTIC WORK!

[nate1579]

a vmu version for dream cast

I can believe i forgot this one

[nate1579]

Is this right?

I lent my xbox to my brother so I didnt bother making these for a while, got it back now so no doubt ill get hooked again  









Printscreened from xbox.com:



Modified someone elses icon:

[ressurectionx]

Yep, the Vectrex is right....

I'd love to see those 360 skins made into dynamic skins at some point.  The backgrounds would have to be as basic as possible so the user could program buttons and borders for videos/pictures and the like, but to have the console transparent against the background is perfect.

You think you'll ever get around to doing something like that Nate?  I think you definitly have the skills.





@pkbunghole.... great to hear you'll be making more.  Have you looked at Nate's spreadsheet to see what's already done so you're not making stuff that is already made?

[nate1579]

if anyone wants to make the mc360 dynamic skins maybe this will help

[wade989]

Wow guys this is like the coolest thing i've ever seen! so many wide icons for direct launching of games, gotta give a huge thanks for everyone making these!!
Hope to see more in the future,,
If anyone is willing i have a (large) request, I'm sure many people will love these:
I know the FF ones have been done, though could they be redone using in game graphics of the world map or town like the FF1 icon around page 15.
Anyway here is what i would LOVE to see:

Dragon Quest Series
NES:
DQ1
DQ2
DQ3
DQ4
SNES:
DQ1&2
DQ5
DQ3
DQ6
PSX:
DQ7

Namco Tales Series
SNES:
Tales of Phantasia
PSX:
Tales of Destiny
Tales of Phantasia
Tales of Eternia

Final Fantasy Series:
NES:
FF1
FF2
FF3
SNES:
FF4
FF5
FF6
PSX:
FF7
FF8
FF9

These would make my day big time.

Thanks again guys!

Not sure if I should be posting these in here considering the last post was in December, but I've finished up Silent Hill 1,2 & 4 icons as well as one for Resident Evil 3.

I plan on finishing the other RE games soon.









It's a damn shame Silent Hill 3 never came out for the Xbox, we could have had a complete collection of the original Team Silent games
