Title: Wide Icons For Our ROMs
Post by: sotu on May 12, 2008, 11:54:00 AM

Only discovering the .cut's in the past week or two I'm really compelled to really customize my roms and get every rom I like segregated into the proper genre along with a nice wide icon to keep it all custom looking.

I'm really hoping that I'm not the only one atm who cares about these .cuts and that more of you have made icons for your favorite games and would like to share them with the rest of us.

So I'll start off with what I've made and hopefully they'll be of use to some of you and others can pitch in with their contributions. Between the lot of us we might be able to cut our .cut work in half or better =)

Also if any of you have a folder sitting around with a ton of helpful game logos, icons, screenshots n such would be extremely helpful for me. I can whip em out pretty fast if I have the images already.

So here's to Pimpin our emu's to the max!

FYI, i love all of you guys for not giving up on our "dead" boxes and continuing to find new ways to breath life into our scene. Thank you all... even the noobs!

This thread contains FBA-XXX icons, as well as a guide as to how to use .CUT files.

Hmm, should I keep posting these? I'm not doing it for praise but it would be nice to know if anyone appreciates them and might use them. Not much point posting them if no one cares.

I'm interested in the wide icons

they look good
but is their any way that you could post a packed file containing all the wide icons that you made?

Aye the 2nd one I hadn't seen before. Unfortunately they're not doing any for individual roms which is what I'm attempting to do here.

Atm I don't have any plans on packing these into rars. It's a lot of searching, editing and time consumption so i figure it's only fair you can click a few links on this page to find the icons you want. Plus that's half the fun. So the answer is no. But if you want to pack them and post them somewhere feel free. Just give me credit for making them.

Ok, so here's some more I made yesterday before leaving for work.

(IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/soundoftheuniverse/DigDug.jpg)

FYI I intentionally made the images darker because the xbox lights them up something fierce. So if they look OK on this page they'll be too bright on the xbox.

These are sweet man. Keep 'em comming. I plan on getting around to this feature when I get my MAME and PSX finally straightened out.

Hopefully others will have some to add as well.

Got a link you could put here where somebody gives detailed instructions on how to use .cut files so we can have the .cut files and the instructions in one place?

Let me know if you like em and feel free to make requests.

FYI I recommend the SLATE skin for viewing Wide Icons, it's very clean and shows off the wide icons better than any other skin, imo.

Really excellent stuff there mate!

Unfortunatley for me, my new 750GB HDD just died and took all my Games, Ripped CD's and TV recordings with it...

Will be sure to use these when i'm up and running again though.

Thanks guys, I'll work on those requests.

Shorty, do you mind sharing what brand hdd you had that died? Was it from Newegg? just curious, always good to know that stuff to avoid potential problems.

There's an xbox live retro collection posted on sky that I found to be quite impressive. They dl'd all these demos and unlocked them and packed em all up nice and tidy. I made the icon for it since it's definitely good enough to keep on the box.

Hey sotu,

I was hoping you might be able to do something for me.

Could you wrap up these up for me, and any other wide icon packs you know about, and post them in one file to me so I can sort and add them to the Xtras. Just let me know who is the artist for the packs. Don't worry about anything like renaming or organize (other than putting them in a folder by artist or soemthing like that would be great)

I hope you don't mind, but I have your icons in mind for a current project I am trying to put together with madmab and gilles. Here's a screen with it:

(IMG:http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/4936/skin5id0.jpg)
[Rom names would go in the grey box on the bottom, or another one that could be placed on either side]

Let me know. You've been a great help so far and I'll post these as soon as you get them to me and I sort through them (hopefully in a badass skin pack for the emus in the future as well).

Thanks,
~Rx

movies, action, horror, adventure,urban,comedy,romance, scifi,standup comedy,-all witha pic on the side and letters on the left..ex action icon witha terminator robot on the right...or you can always send me that psd and I can do it myself!.xbox games icon looks good the unleash x needs touch up theres lines on top/bottom of the unleash letters-Id look better with out them, great job anyhow sotu

Title: Wide Icons For Our ROMs
Post by: sotu on October 08, 2008, 01:40:00 AM

Although I don't care for any of those apps I'd do an icon if you find the high res logos on a black or transparent background.

Will probably do the genres but without any artwork. Less clutter, plus not everyone will agree on the chosen artwork for whatever genre its for. Applications and emulators have specific icons whereas genres do not.

I don't share my PSD's because it stifles creativity. Better we all take our own stab at it and see what we come up with. After all that's the fun of this whole process.

I've heard Mame OX can play a few games that don't work on other versions of mame so I'll see about that one. Otherwise I'm sticking to apps that are still in development ie. Instead of Linksboks I made an icon for Linux XDSL which has Firefox 2.0 which is a lot better than Linksboks.

Hey Sotu,

1) How do you put so many images on a post. They always limit me to 10 per post.

2) Could you do me a HUGE favor and make a few more wide icons with these exact specs and that type of artwork and that font?

I was looking for banners that said:

XBox Games
PC DOS Games
Homebrew Games
Multiplayer Homebrew Games

Thanks ahead of time if you can do this. I think your Emulators one looks great and I wanted to use your artwork as the top directory in XBMC.

If you're still doing these, I'd like to request one for HAL's Hole In One Golf for SNES as well. I'm going to put together a box for my old man for Christmas and we used to play that one all the time. He's also a huge fan of Dig-Dug too if you can do one for that too.

Had a hdd failure and haven't logged in until today to see if anyone needed anything and sure enough...

Looks like I lost my fonts and I'm not sure exactly what the name is for the one you want Rez, I know the new one I've been using is Nintendo so that shouldn't be hard to find. If I get lucky and find the font you requested then I'll make it otherwise I could do something matching with the Nintendo Font. lmk

I'll see what i can do about the Mario RPG, I never was happy with the picture quality of anything I found online so I skipped it and did others that had better hi rez photos. I thank you for taking the initiative to post an image for me to use but if you look at the quality that's exactly what i found and wasn't happy with the results. Notice the HUGE pixels. See if you can find anything better. Worse case I'll have to use the Ninty font and hopefully get a good cover image or something to use.

Rez, not sure if I answered your question about maximizing your pics in a post. I just batch them to the server and post the full list in the post. If it's too much then I remove a few until it goes through. Then I post the rest.

As long as you do it quickly then it allows you to amend to the post and add your pics to the post essentially letting you post double or triple what you normally would be allowed to post.

No matter which mode im using I cant get the icon to show. The shortcut does work however. Im using the PMIII skin. Any ideas? Do the thumbnails need to be in .jpg format?

Thanks

They're all combined in one pack and easy to navigate to. Just go to the folder you want the icon for on your Box and drag that .tbn file where you're going to FTP it from, or just FTP it to the folder on your Box that you desire.

It will probably be a little while before I have this released, as I have to do a lot of backtracking to get it all.

I know I know, the title says wide icons for roms and there's none in the thread anymore. Well if I find them I'll post them again but some time ago I changed my mind and decided to go with actual box art in lieu of wide icons. They simply look better not to mention they're a bit easier to make.

You really can't go wrong with box art. Unless you're dealing with a system like X68000 where box art images are nearly impossible to find.

Title: Wide Icons For Our ROMs
Post by: ressurectionx on April 18, 2009, 07:38:00 AM

So you really think Boxart is the way to go for the games Sotu? (MAME and FBA excluded for obvious reasons, of course)

I'll have to give this cut thing a real try. I loaded up a few games on it, but never did anything else with it.

Would save tons of time on everybody's part if it is better.

Maybe I should add all the boxart for the games I've put in the Xtras into this pack as well. It would simply be a matter of using BombBloke's cutfile program with them and the roms to have boxart displayed for all your games in XBMC itself.

Pretty cool thought.....

They sure are. I'd love to see a tutorial made for how to do them so we could one day see these made on all platforms. They're so good, in fact, that I think there should be a name for the standard. Something like "FM Wide Icons".

Already got them up and running on my box Frank. They look great on here. Looking forward to new ones and whatever changes you have planned.

I finally used BombBloke's cut creator to use them too. That script is great. I just need a script to convert all the Xtras boxart so we can easily import our game libraries into XBMC with boxart previews for all games.

On my rig I want to have all the games showing with the boxart, and my favorite games a separate folder displaying wide icons like the ones you've created.

Those NES banners are nice, but I have a question:

What is the origin of this 844x125 resolution? Why can't 758x140 work for HD too? I'm all for higher quality/resolution but 844x125 isn't even the same aspect ratio as the XBMC wide icon standard...

844x125 is the exact size, when viewing "big wide." in 720p. Or am I wrong? I tested it with Programs root menu (press white and choose thumbnail). I'll make some more tests when possible.

Title: Wide Icons For Our ROMs
Post by: ressurectionx on April 20, 2009, 09:47:00 PM

All of my banners (with the borders) are sized at 662x122. Most of the icons i was already going to use were that size, so I made my other ones that size too.

I consider individual emulated games and XBox games to be different though, so they won't have borders and the size doesn't matter (as long as all icons in the folder are the same size).

I've heard lots of talk about an XBMC wide icon standard size, but nobody ever went by it. I have icons that range at least 10 different sizes.

Title: Wide Icons For Our ROMs
Post by: Horscht on April 21, 2009, 08:45:00 AM

thetvdb.com also uses 758x140, i think that is what we should stick with!

Title: Wide Icons For Our ROMs
Post by: ressurectionx on April 21, 2009, 09:27:00 AM

I'm easy.... I just figured out Adobe CS (the basics, anyways) so I'm all set. It's real easy to change things in there if I need to.

I do agree that for game titles there should be a standard size though. It's easy to get away with no standard on emu/homebrew/category/genre type icons (now that I've used the borders to make everything completely uniform and looking great). But who wants to edit through hundreds or thousands of possible game icons to get them the same size?

Good luck getting the standard to stick guys. I've been trolling through 4 different wide icon threads to make my pack and though they constantly brought up a "standard", nobody ever went by it. I know you guys say there is a "standard" size, but after looking through 3 or so years of threads on the subject, it's obvious that nobody ever really followed it.

Any chance you could make an icon for Pyros aka Wardner?

Title: Wide Icons For Our ROMs
Post by: ressurectionx on April 21, 2009, 04:48:00 PM

I'm a bit fuzzy on the math.... how does 844x125 ratio to 662x122. Probably not too good... huh? That's what all the "Border" icons in the pack are. I'm cool with that because that's the resolution I used for all of those types of icons, with the borders. For the XBox games I use the icons at mediaicons.org (I think that's the site) and for the games I'm going to use the boxarts from the Xtras. I think I'll devote a section to my own personal favorte games using icons like FM has made. Hopefuly we get good icons for the favorites for all the systems like that style.

Main point is that I think there definately should be a standard created now for any emulated rom icons, across all systems.

Title: Wide Icons For Our ROMs
Post by: ressurectionx on April 21, 2009, 09:53:00 PM

Title: Wide Icons For Our ROMs
Post by: BillyBobX on April 22, 2009, 07:40:00 AM

FM: Great explanation of why 844x125 is what you're going with. It all makes sense. I'm using XBMC with Slate theme and Big Wide Icons view on a 4:3 display (arcade cabinet) so 758x140 is prefect for me.

I think they look great. The images were always very "white" originally, so it doesn't detract from the icons as much as it would otherwise. I do agree that it would be nice to have a little more "balance" with these.

I will have to try to use the border on them. I think they will look great with the border there and it will really serve to balance out the blank space well.

Thanks for sharing Darkangel754.

Rx, does this mean that you will be putting these boarders on all of them? This makes these (especially) look even better.

I am hoping to get into the whole wide icon thing, very soon. I downloaded your beta pack Rx. I did see any for Xbox games. (maybe they were there?) If not, will you be including these in later releases? Or , where can I find these. Someone once showed me a link to a pack put it was dead.

Oh, and, Props, to BillyBobx, as well. Those are awesome, too!

Thanks

Post by: ressurectionx on April 28, 2009, 02:44:00 PM

There's actually a site for XBox games that is more thourough than I'd ever care to be with the actual XBox games. Check out Media Icons.

I don't have a lot of XBox games, and actually except for a few like Fable and Bard's Tale I'm really not that interested, so I won't be collecting these much. Everything you need in that regard should be on that site though.

Yeah... I was going to put the borders on all of them and release them in (both the originals and the borders) in the next update. They're a bit tricky though, since the images and text dance so close to the edge. I will have to modify the settings I normally use to make borders to compensate for this, so I just sent the first one here to show how it looked.

Title: Wide Icons For Our ROMs
Post by: Darkangel754 on April 28, 2009, 04:43:00 PM

I'm glad to hear all the positive feedback on my icons

When I made them I was planning on putting something in to fill the left hand space, like game art or something.

I'm liking the boarders you made ressurectionx

I made a few quick versions of how I had planned to originally do them, I might go ahead and do the whole set in a day or two.

I think they look a lot better than my original ones.

Title: Wide Icons For Our ROMs
Post by: ressurectionx on April 28, 2009, 04:59:00 PM

Very nice...

That definitely fills the blank space..

My only suggestion would be to make the color blend from the image on the left to the stark white background. It's really only noticeable in the 3rd image, but you can see it a bit in the first one as well.

I got a picture for all the other icons, I'll probably need to fix them up a bit though.

I don't really like how FF2 turned out so I think I'm going to try a different picture. I thought most of the others turned out pretty good, but any advice is welcome

Title: Wide Icons For Our ROMs
Post by: ressurectionx on May 02, 2009, 08:56:00 AM

Those look f-ing great man!

No more blank space now

I'd like to see what you come up with for an alternative to II as well. You're right... there is something missing with that one that the rest of them seemed to capture. It's just so different and out of place.

I was thinking maybe change Tactics too, but then I thought about the game and looked at the picture again and it just seems to work perfect for it. Of the entire series, it probably only had more of a story than FFI (might have...). It's suiting that you used such a white and plain image compared to most of the rest.

All in all an excellent job, and it is definitely getting my praise for more than the simple fact that FF is probably my favorite series of all time.

I do have one suggestion though that I hope you agree with and can accomplish....

It's what I was talking about before in my last suggestion.

Look at FFI, FFVII, FFVIII, FF Tactics...... See how perfect the right side meshes with the left side?

Now look at FFIV, FFV, FFVI and FFIX.... See the faint-to-not-so-faint color clash with the stark white on the right? Or that little dark spot that shows up on the middle of the FF Tactics icon?

On FFII and FFIII, it would probably be near impossible to do anything about, but the funny thing is on their own they look great like that. It's just the ones in the "middle" that would look much better if somehow the Right Title side could meet the Left Picture side more fluidly.

What do you think DA?

Title: Wide Icons For Our ROMs
Post by: ressurectionx on May 02, 2009, 07:21:00 PM

I'm going to be doing boxart for the systems to launch the games straight from XBMC, but I'm also going to have an alternative way to load "favorites" using icons like the ones all you guys are making here. I'm thinking of actually listing out my directory structure when I'm done so you guys can see exactly how I put my emus/roms/videos/artwork.

This way, everyone would be able to emulate my setup perfectly and then I can release stuff like Xtras icons that would be immediately plug-n-play by just plugging in the .CUT folder.

I want to have a section for system specific favorites, and favorite series that use the wide icons created by the community. Things like DA's FF icons, some great SMB icons that cover all the playable SMB games, as well as castlevania, metroid and other favorites.

Thanks for the great stuff everyone,

Title: Wide Icons For Our ROMs
Post by: Bomb Bloke on May 02, 2009, 08:43:00 PM

I dunno, I'd say Tactics was quite comparable VII in terms of plot. Maybe even more complex. Sure, there was far less to see/do in the world, but in terms of actual plot... That was about the only thing that got me through it (some of the battles were particularly unforgiving to the unprepared).

But those are about the only two FF games I've played (other then Tactics Advance, which doesn't have much of a plot at all... Speaking of which, does that get an icon?)

Any chance of getting multiple icons for the multi-disc games?

Also, there's not really a sub-title (that I'm aware of) for the game and thus no real way to have the game banner distinguishable from the tv show banner.

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,

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.

Post by: ressurectionx on June 13, 2009, 06:03:00 PM

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.

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).

Personally, I think the gameboy ones tend to look great with scanlines. I wouldn't hose up your beautiful full color artwork with them though.

Nice work to everyone involved with this. I hope this is a thread that lives on as long as the Xtras work does and one day we'll have a cataloge of thousands of wide icons for emulated games.

yep.... don't know why I like the scanlines on the b/w Gameboy icons, but that really looks sharp. Hopefully it looks alright on the Box. I've never actually checked one out on the TV since I've never actually come close to making .CUT files with the wide icons yet. (Still got tons of my own project to do and hoping that there are tons more icons to work with by the time I get around to that part).

That sounds real cool man. Less work I'd have to do on that end in the future.

I don't know much about XBMC development. You seem in the know, or at least more than me....

I there anyone you'd recommend talking to about working a fix into XBMC that would force XBMC to load up at the folder that you chose to launch a game via .CUT file? Madmab was able to reduce the load time for .CUT files on the NES from 15 seconds to 8 seconds time. This would be even more perfect if when you launched "Metroid" from the NES folder in XBMC that it would bring you right back to that folder and position when you left the emu.

Perhaps there could be an .INI file with a flag that's turned on and the specific location written temporarily to it that would tell XBMC to load to that spot when the game is exited. After loading the spot, the .INI could have the flag turned off and the location erased, waiting to be turned back on and have a new location written to it when another game is selected from the corresponding folder for whatever system is used.

What do you think?

Although I started this thread and have made many wide icons in the past I've changed my focus and decided to use box art to display the games instead of wide icons which in most cases are unable to properly convey the full impact of the games' art in that little sliver of wide icon space.

QUOTE(greatant @ Jun 19 2009, 09:33 AM)

Once my exams are over I plan on seeing if Leo2 (programs library dev) needs any help with the skinning side still. It's the last thing he mentioned on the xbmc.org forums and I figure I can help out.

Maybe I can mention it to him but frankly I don't think its necessary, nor do I think the main devs are going to add anything so xbox specific at this point. (Only one person is actually updating the xbox code)

I'd be interested in hearing your reasoning for it more specifically though.

Yeah man.... it's totally necessary.

I won't be getting around to much XBMC organizing for quite some time, but I want the XBMC to behave as if it were an emu itself when I get there.

XPORT allowed a switch in the emus that allows the emu to go right back to XBMC after exiting the game you loaded from XBMC, Madmab cut down the time to load NES in half (and I'm assuming we'll see similar results with other emulators), BombBloke made the .CUT file creator to make it easy to give every game in the Xtras XBMC representation, Everyone here is working on wide icons for the games and now we have a spreadsheet that Nate's keeping updated so we know what is already made, my Xtras boxart also works very nicely for XBMC representation...

The only thing we don't have is the ability to come right back to the folder we left off at when the game ends, the emu auto closes and XBMC loads back up again. It's kind of bogus to have to navigate all the way back to the folder you want to play another game when it probably wouldn't be too difficult to just have XBMC auto-load right back to the place it left off at. (I don't have to navigate all the way back to my 5th season of Lost folder to watch the next episode when I've finished watching one..... kinda like that)

Hope that clears up the importance of this.

I need to know a valid nfo file so I can fix the issue I dont use it and dont wish to learn using it but ill fix the CoinOPS issue for people

Rant Warning....(not for you tweakster hopefully I can help you out and get this sorted for you). But people keep telling me how much they will help.... I have given them the chance, given the source (although it hasnt been handed to offical places) even told them how to find the code (search for Natedogg) and inserted it, now I just needed a one or two line tweak. People hassle me when I say to people it will be of no help to doccument and hand everything over and here is another example of I have to do it myself so why bother supplying everything and spending time doing this stuff. Another rant but hey I actually would like someone to prove me wrong instead of snipping and promising and then asking for me to defend myself....... please please help the proper way and dont try and take over the project just work with me and reliase I actually have to do most of the work and everything you want can go in, just I like to insert it correctly or at least in a console type of way rather than a mame kind of way, I would help people put stuff in a mame kind of way but it wont be part of my releasers, ive defended this for years and the proof to me is in using CoinOPS vs the others I can see the diff even if others cant.

I don't know anything about .CUT files really, or why one version would work on one emu and not another.

If you figure it out, I could ask BB to make an alternative .CUT file creator for MAME images for us though. That's about as much help as I can offer in this area.

It's been about a year and a half since I even fired up my debug Box. Any little coding skills I taught myself are probably lost now so I wouldn't be able to do much with your code that you posted in the other thread. I'm neck deep in my own shit right now, so I really don't have the time to offer my assistance at the moment.

EDIT: Ah.... I didn't notice at first you asked for videos. I'll see what I can do in the next few days. Video previews is something I could definately break my routine to spend a while on. They need to be copied off the DVD's, converted from AVI to WMV and then to XMV. How many did you want to use for a sample BP?

Great work on the icons Tweakster.

NES doesn't talk to me either. I think he's either real busy or just doesn't come around here anymore. I'm trying to get him to fix an issue with the video folder in ZSNESXBox but he hasn't responded.

I could be wrong, but I believe his source code is available. Probably at the usual place. I think trying to figure it out that way would be much quicker than holding your breath for NES to answer either of us on this. I've already asked him more than three times to help out with this and never got any reply.

I can get you the videos still, but I can't do anything about getting help if the person won't answer my posts or PMs.

I'm gonna have to make some more requests...

For FBA i think it wud be nice to have one that said arcade with a pic of the capcom systems and neo geo cabs...just an idea..lol

i think in terms of my shortcut folders i'm only missing.

ColecoVision
Atari Lynx

I swear this is the best community in the planet...lol

At the moment i'm mainly concerned with the emulators i have complete boxart for..but it would be really nice if you covered everything so in an effort to be the most demanding guy on here..i'm gonna put up a list of what i'm missing.

So here goes

Wonderswan Colour
Sharp x68000
Amiga
Commodore 64
Neo-Geo Pocket

And i dont know if it would be too much hassle to have seperat icons for the gameboy consoles as i have them seperated. by gb, gbc and gba.

I think that might be it really.

Now all i need is a skin that displays all my wide icons in a way that i like....most of the skins make them look like crap...apart from PMIII and i really hate that skin...lol

Title: Wide Icons For Our ROMs
Post by: ressurectionx on July 21, 2009, 06:53:00 AM

No love for the PMIII skin? All of Gilles dual preview skins are based on that lol...

I liked the 360 skin better myself, but switched to PMIII when Gilles made his dual previews to keep everything looking uniform. It looks great with the PMIII emu skins and the theme has kinda grown on me and the wide icons look great when you put the border on them that I have at the top of the wide icon project thread.

Nice work on the icons Nate. I'm pretty set in the ones I'm using already, but it's really great to see the excitement you're generating with your work too. It's always better having more options. BTW... I hope you can find joysticks for the Atari banners. Those have to be some of the best images of those consoles I've ever seen. Usually (except for the ones Gilles used in his PMIII skins) they're much lower quality than that.

Madmab got the loading time for NES games down to 8 seconds in the new beta (if you don't mind not being able to use SAMBA or other network sharing).

Only thing we have to do is get somebody that programs XBMC to put in some code so when you leave the game you go back to the same folder you launched the game from instead of restarting the emulator and it's pretty much a perfect multi-system launcher.

I'm going to make full boxart XBMC packs along with .CUT files when all is said and done, but people will have to follow the instructions and download the Xtras and put them in the exact places in the instructions for everything to work.

My system is perfect and it should be emulated by anyone following these threads.

At least, I'm getting very close to that point, and it will be in the future.

If you've seen my spreadsheets, you know that I'm the most OCD bastard you've ever met and I'm happy to share my work with other OCD bastards so they can find something more productive to do with their gift/curse.

That's why I'm here man..... making everything work so you don't have to...

Just would like getting some more help from anybody similarly OCD-ic-ly inclined getting it to that point

EDIT: PS... I'm not sure if you read this madmab (I will PM you on this in the future if you don't respond here), but I was wondering if we could add code for another option in the General options? I was thinking that some people might still like using the network capabilities when using .CUT files.

Sure... they'll have to wait almost 15 seconds for a game to load, but after posting this I think it would be cool to allow people using network share to use the .CUT files and allow them to exit the emu when you exit the game. The way we have it set up now, if you load .CUT files, you're relegated to using Roms on your Box.

Personally, I don't care because I can't stand the idea of using network share when hard drives are so cheap, but I realize that not everyone has access to the funds (especially kids playing these games for the first time), and even many of those who did are too nervous about bricking the box to upgrade their hard drive. I know you're all about preserving the old school ways and making it easy for people with a stock hard drive to use your upgrades (and you've even shot down a few of my ideas that would bring us off that track

)

What do you think, madmab?

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

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>

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

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.

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?

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
