I finished the Atari 5200 theme tonight as well.

Updated Intellivision theme with some bling and all new 3D Box art!

Here you go. Game Info.rar

Here is a WIP of an Atari 2600A theme! This will replace the old one as I like this one much much better. This one is more in line with the rest of the themes as far as layout is going. Displays the 3D Game Boxes at the top now and added some good old Atari bling to it. Note: Need to update the boxes to the newer 3D box format.

Yup and sometime after saving the monitor number I went back to config the plugin and the number changed itself back to 0.

NES theme!

I can't get this to work at all. I have 3 monitors but I want GameInfo to show on monitor 2 for all games/systems. The GameInfo footer never displays?

MAME has now been updated!

I'm glad you like it. Updated the Gameroom main window and the Atari 2600 themes with the new menu look. The old one was hard to do for each theme and it was just damn ugly if you ask me.

@GC I could but I'm not going to as it would just take too much of my time and I have too many other projects I'm working on sorry. Here is the updated Intellivision theme. I updated the menu at the top think I might updated MAME and the rest of the themes to this new format.

Well for that matter how about an option for icons for each emulators list. So for example the Atari 2600 games could have a icon next to their rom names on the list similar to how MAME does. If one isn't found it just doesn't display one or could have a default icon we could define.

There is a small issue that I need to figure out however this theme may be subject to change as it's still a WIP.

Ok guys here is the snapshot of individual M.A.M.E themes which I call M.A.M.E (Gameroom Edition). This way I can distinguish between the two. @GC I included the list so you can see your games on the list that you scroll thru however with this setup you can't view PCB, Marquees, or any other game info this is why I have MAME setup 2 different ways so if you want to have the game info you need to use the MAME that you setup thru GameEx setup wizard and if you want to show off your individual game themes you can setup MAME as an separate emulator.

Yes but you still have the issue if you want all that art plus additional art and Image2 defaults to showing the marquee it needs to have it's own defined setting art file for that. Yes Draco is correct it needs to be a feature request which I do think it has been mentioned before in the past however not sure if Tom is going to fix this in the current state as he's working on a newer GameEx engine that sounds like is totally different in the ways themes work. So will have to wait and see.

1) I will be working on the MAME individual theme layout tonight and will show you what Pac-Man will look like soon. 2) I am going to try too. Stay tuned!

Atari 2600 theme!

The one problem with GameEx is when creating themes Image2 displays the marquee by default. So if you put a different image in there and you display the games info to show you the PCB Boards, Titles, and Marquees well then the Marquees are actually some other image and it screws everything up. So if GameEx changed it's default image2 folder to a custom art folder/files then that could solve that issue.

I will also be setting up individual MAME game themes that will be full screen like previous version which will require you to setup MAME thru the Emulator & Advanced Emulator setup. Hopefully soon I will have a screenshot to show you the new layout for those. Nice thing with this theme it will support both ways to setup and run MAME.

Ok here is the final layout update. I changed the divider texture as it just doesn't look right to me and plus it's easier to setup each theme using this method so I as you can see I went back to solid colors. Also for displaying the title names for each game you can use Hyperspin's wheel images.

Where on that list do you see an option to put custom art if we wanted too like you can with setting up an emulator? Guess that was an option that didn't get implemented in the past as I thought it did, my bad then I'm just suprised since individual emulators can have a custom artwork paths but MAME doesn't. Those paths are the common standard with MAME but what if we wanted to display some different art. See what I'm saying. Guess I'm more suprised I've never noticed it before but in the past I setup MAME as a seperate emulator and not thru GameEx default MAME settings and never noticed it. You could use those paths but what if you wanted those plus additional artwork then it can't be done.

I did under MAME settings and there is no line for custom art path?

Am I missing something .... as I don't see where you can setup Custom Art paths for MAME ?

It's taking a bit longer than expected. Had to change the entire layout and that was a bit of a pain but now that I have the main layout done I can move forward. Dropped using the banners thou as they just don't look as nice with the theme however I am using them with GameEx Extender to display them on my secondary monitor when scrolling thru my systems which is a better look I think. I had to change the layouts to enable GameEx's "sort by" menu features for MAME. Now you can sort your list using this theme. From the pics as you can see in place of the banners I am creating a giant Title/Marquee style layout lloks much better I think. Also added some texture to the divider while the previous ones were ok they just looked plain I think.

Will post an update to the MAME theme tomorrow as I had to redo it to make room for the filter options in the menu to be displayed for those who use it. The layout had to be modified a bit but still retains the look. I pretty much got it done but want to have a few individual MAME games to show you.
