Progress is good. Spent a long time working on the GUI, now I'm back to working on the compatability. There are so many games that require virtual memory. The GUI is not finished nor is the compatability. It's very usable, but not as user freindly as I'd like by default. It resembles ZsnexBox with a PM3 skin. I'm waiting on a couple people to make logo's, but if anyone else wants to make one (or any art), I'd appreciate it.

Some of the features are:

Latest FBA Core + Final Burn 0.517
Dual screenshot/Video Previews
All games (that don't require VM) work.
Added VM to CPS2 and some Cave games
Lots of ROM filters (CPS2, CPS1, Various, Genre, Year, Vertical Shooters, 2D Fighters, etc...)
MAME History
Built in Cheat database for nearly all games
Favories list
Most things in the GUI can be modified
Video can be used as part of the GUI (like a background)
Savestates
Game Guides
NVRAM
All games keymapped
All buttons can be remapped on all 4 controllers.

It supports 1600+ games. I would say compatability is 90% (10% need VM). However, that 10% represents a lot of games people play like Metal Slug 3-5, KOF 95-2003, etc... So, I'm trying to fix most of that before releasing.

I'd also like to have a better GUI, but with no artistic skills, I'm having to make do with whatever i can find. And none of what I can find has anything to do with arcade games. If I had better GUI, then that would motivate me to put the pedal to the medal and try to have a release (that's a hint to any of you artistic people)

neverwill is unfortuantly busy, so if anyone wants to help create artwork, please send whatever to ZsnexBox at hot mail dot com or PM me here.

Hey NES, whats the emu name exactly? FBA? FBA-X? I'd like to help you out with some artwork/logo if you need.

Final Burn Legends

Cool  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[gilles9999]

I've already started working on the Final burn legends logo...
but for some reasons i'm not satisfied with it...
and i'm working on the unreleased neverwill skin (since he sent me the psd files)and dynamic skins at the same time;
but I promise to look into it this week (with my girlfriend )

p.s.: Nes6502, if i understand well, your skin will be a sort of DYNAMIC skin, where you can dispose video window, game boxart almost where you want?
if that is the case it's just fantastic!

[nes6502]

Yes. It works just like ZsnexBox. What would be cool is if I had a ROM browser that had the scanline alpha part (like on the Main Menu with the black gradiant fade at the edge). Then I could display the video previews or boxart behind that and they could take up the entire screen. I am doing this for the main menu (the video changes each time the user picks a new video item) It looks very profesional. Of course, this would be enabled/disabled in the GUI for users who like to have dual previews. But without a ROM browser image with that feature, there's no point in adding support for it.

[gilles9999]

How about a DYNAMIC skin nes?
something like this:
(IMG:http://img02.picoodle.com/img/img02/3/10/27/f_gameselectfm_a2d013a.jpg)
-Well,since we have the dual previews/boxarts and videos at the same in the news emus
(thanks to you Nes6502, and now madmab, and for sure differents great coders in the future)
and since each user is different,We had a loooot of differents suggestions about the
best gameselect screen disposition:
alot of users like the videos dual with title screen,
other users want only boxarts since they don't have space for videos
other wants dual videos with boxarts
others want big videos and big boxarts
others want only screenshots
etc...
etc...
etc...

We have discuss this a lot with madmab ressurectionX,run088, other members, finally we were all agree to say, the best solution would be a "dynamic skin" where the user can set/disable all the sprites of the gameselect screen and choose his favorite view
it's just a "nude" background, where you set yourself the video window(with video/without), flyer (with/without)buttons(with/without) etc...

If you like this solution i can provide you the dynamic skin, since i have all the photoshop psd files

I'm not sure I understand. How is that not allready in all of Xports emulators? Can't  the user allready move, resize, everything as is? Or do you mean these are just presets that the user picks from? Am I misunderstanding?

No, In all the Xport emulators skins i know (and i have tested a lot), the background is only one 640*480 jpg image and the screenshot window is always small

So, with the dual video/boxart stuff... first problem, see my previous answer
alot of users like the videos dual with title screen,
other users want only boxarts since they don't have space for videos
other wants dual videos with boxarts
others want big videos and big boxarts
others want only screenshots
etc...
etc...
etc...

YOU CAN set the video preview and the screenshot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
but YOU CAN'T set the screenshot window and the boxart window (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grr.gif)

in the mark of the wolves image, you'll notice, there is 4 sprites here:
-the video window(the user can set it everywhere he wants
-the rombrowser blade (same thing)
-the top banner (the user can choose between differents banners from the sprites folder)
-the flyer/boxart "nude" sprite (a sprite that create a shadow back of the garou flyer)

You are right, XPORT has done wonderfull work about the skin config and the sprites config,
but few people have used its full potential; my dynamic skins are compatibles with old XPORTS emus (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

You are right again, i have put 14 differents "presets"(madmab has added the "load skin config" option in his future releases)
that the user picks from in each dynamic skin
So the user can switch in 3seconds between

HDTV or SDTV big movies_big boxarts
HDTV or SDTV big movies_big previews
HDTV or SDTV big previews only
HDTV or SDTV boxarts only
HDTV or SDTV med movies_med boxarts
HDTV or SDTV med movies_med previews
HDTV or SDTV only med previews

for HDTV presets the video window and the boxart sprites are stretched, so they aren't distorded in HD.
perheaps you can dl one of my lasts dynamic skins (in the XPORT section) to understand the stuff?
