Title: Yellow Pikachu Xsnes9x Skin
Post by: Jonesy_47 on June 20, 2005, 02:30:00 PM
I really like the style of this skin but i mean, come on, pikachu? One of these with an F-Zero or a Super Metroid backdrop would rock my socks. Still a good job tho.

Other theme suggestions to take the place of Pikachu
Mario All-Stars (you know, where the whole crew is lined up before you press start)
Chrono Trigger and/or Secret of Mana
Earthbound (Ness and crew have been sorely under-used when it comes to Nintendo emulator skin themes)
Star-Fox
Donkey Kong (old school styles, not that pre-rendered piece of dog crap Rare invented...hate that stupid guy with his gelled monkey hair)

Cant think of any more right now but yeah, if you could do those im sure theyd look awesome. If you dont bea me to the punch, i might do it myself. Im just a really lazy guy. *shrugs* Good luck.

Ok! Ill look into doing a Chrono Trigger/Secret of Mana skin, Earthbound and Final Fantasy ones too. I must apologise as my knowledge of Nintendo games is limited.

Do you think separate Bowser, Luigi and Toad skins would be appreciated too? I'd be happy to oblige these as well.

Ill also *try* and see if I can find a decent old skool picture of Samus but as I recall when I last scoured the net they were rather hard to find  sad.gif (hence the cube version)

The rest have yet to appear on AllXboxSkins.com but can be downloaded from my website still, it also has a blank version of each skin so you can put your own characters on top after Likklebaer requested some.

I'd definitely like to see a Bowser skin myself.  It would go great with one of the Mario pics.  One for the default and the other for the rom list.  I guess the same would apply for Luigi too.

I like the Metroid skin you have now.  I just wasn't sure if Jonesy hadn't seen it or was looking for an old school look.

Please let me know if this choice of Final Fantasy V is a good one as Im aware there were 6 of the series for the SNES.

That Samus picture has potential... I will need to isolate the character, enlarge it slightly, enhance the colours and invent a foot for it  jester.gif, I will give it a go!

Awesome work, man!  Nice to change up the look and feel of the emu every now and then.

I snagged a bunch of your art from the linky and created the necessary skin folders.  

Have you checked these out on a Hi-Def TV?  It seems that the images are all pushed over to the left hand portion of the screen.  I'll try to take a screen shot....  

Is there a way to center the user interface in xSNES9X?  Perhaps I'm dumb.  I know you can adjust the display whilst in a game, but can you adjust/center the interface/skin screen?

Anyhoo, they still look great.

Yeah, there is an option to adjust the display somewhere in the options of the emulator.

Wow the title, and first post, of this thread is so misleading

Every single one of your skins are better than all the default skins for xsnes9x and pretty much everything you can find on AXS.

hopefully you dont have very little bandwith, because i had to download every single on them (and also your emu icons for xbmc, wich are awesome used in unleashx)

new metroid one is awesome, alot more old-school than the older 3d one, but you should keep both as alternates


if you want more ideas, a final fantasy 6 (or 3 in the us) skin would be awesome.

Tales of phantasia / Star Ocean are two amazing translated snes rpgs, if your familiar with them they could make nice themes too

anyway good work!

Im glad theyre being appreciated. I do need to check my bandwidth usage thinking about it.. :S

So Tales of Phantasia would be a picture of Cless? And Star Ocean would be of Ratix?

I seem to recall trying to add Diddy Kong to the Donkey Kong one I did before. But seeing I have two skins with Mario (second being with Yoshi) it would make sense to do one with both of them together.

The 3D Samus is at AXS, Ill keep it like that with the 2D one on my own site.

I think the only problems Im having is which colours to use as a background - I think Im running out!

Just curious...where is this User Interface video display option in xSNES9x?  I cannot find it and I don't think of myself as an idiot.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Kefka would rock but that game has so many worthy characters (and character art to go with them also). Shadow would rock. So would Setzer. Cyan and Locke would be alright depending on the art you choose to use but Terra has a SHITload of god art out there, especially some particularly evil looking ones where shes ridin the Magitech armor. Oh, and that new Samus skin is JUST what i was talking about. Wonderful job.
