No haven't heard from them today. Hopefully soon!

Thanks! I like these alot. Looks like your having alot of fun with this. I should have some add-on packs ready soon.

I sent Tom and Adultery a message about the issues with uploading and waiting to hear back from them. Nice job on the JoJo both look very good.

Were old so were eating at 3:00. Might not be any left overs good thing the store gave us a free turkey as well so I can have that after thanksgiving for just me and my wife. Just got done making the cranberry stuffing and carving the bird. All set for transportation....See ya guys l8ter tonight!!

Maybe. It should work with any set the only issue is having it name them in correct order alphabetically. Me I created a new games directory and doing them as I go and moving the games zips to the new directory and naming them as I create a new theme for them. So that way my theme only list the games I have themes for.

More goodness.... I'm even working on Thanksgiving ... on the theme that is Going to take a break thou as I will be off to my father-in-laws house for the turkey feast soon!

Uses the name of your rom. So whatever the name of your rom is ... is what the theme should be. Now I was hoping to use map files to put them in alphabetical order however map file doesn't work correctly as it adds extra things to the display and not just the names on the list within the map file. I tested it and it doesn't work correctly. It does name the roms perfect but for some reason it's adding in blanks/spaces when it displays and I need it not to do that as it screws things up with my theme. It's like I have to hit the down arrow twice to display the next game in the list. If Tom has another way of displaying them in alpha order let me know.

Thanks! Here is it's Return!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone ... Man the turkey is smelling good.

I just sent Tom a message with the issues u/l to the main site.

73.1 mb Just includes the basic MAME set that you have seen so far.

It looks like it uploads then the message goes away that says please wait uploading so you never know if it worked or not. Tom might need to look at that as I think it's broke. Last time Adultery was online and helped me upload my last theme so that is why that one went up fast. He had me FTP to the site. I updated the zip file to include everything in the zip as well as the missing backgrounds. All you have to do is install the font then unrar/zip the file to where you have the GameEx folder at. Just need help getting this uploaded as the main site is not working unless we need Tom to make it available as I am not sure if it went htru.

Not sure! I've had the same issue in the past I uploaded it to the main site where you upload themes and it never shows up.

See above for more pics of themes that I did today. These include Robotron, Galaga, Frogger and Zoo Keeper.

Not sure how long it will take for it to be available so keep an eye out for it. Everything on my end appears like the upload went ok. Enjoy and looking forward to what you come up with. This theme still needs a good selection bar so if anyone has a good one for it please post it. We might need to create a new forum for theme releases for this theme as I'm sure everyone will want to start creating and sharing them. Would be much easier for everyone to post about there releases in a central place.

[uPDATE] I re-uploaded the theme with the framework file included in the zip/rar file as well as the font that the theme requires.

OK Guys as promised I've uploaded the theme to the GameEx main site so look for it soon. The only themes I've included with the theme were the MAME themes that I've done so far. All the other systems aren't ready yet. I should have Daphne[Complete Set] done in a few days. The framework file has been posted to the forums so use that to create your themes. Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving to you all!!! Look forward to seeing what you guys come up with. This theme will take a bit setting up as you will need to disable a few things for the menu to be displayed correctly. Any ?'s feel free to ask.

@starbuck I've posteed the new framework file that is the final version so use that to create your themes.

Todays themes....

I like that one alot. Very nice! I know that's why I just been doing one MAME theme after another. After finishing the theme and watching it run it's like I just added another cabinet to my gameroom. It is addicting. Keep up the good work. Are you starting to use PaintDot.net now? There are a ton of free plugins for it as well. Just search on Google and you'll find them. I find that paint program just way easier to use. I also have Paintshop Pro but don't use it that much. That one has some tools for cutting out images.

Was wondering what happen to you lately Adultery as I haven't see you around much or any new releases from you in awhile. I know school can take alot of your time. Good luck with that and have a Happy Thanksgiving! Same goes to all my friends in the GameEx community have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!! @Draco well said old friend!! Don't remind me of grey hairs got a few of my own and we don't even have kids. Have a nice Thanksgiving with your family!!

Got a whole lot of MAME games themes done today!! Btw .... No I never sleep...

Hmmm not quite sure yet, but maybe one that highlights the text mainly since the backgrounds on various games will be different colors as you can see for the different game themes I'm making.

Looks like I got alot more things I need to do to clean this theme up before I release it so it will be a bit longer unfortunately (sorry!). Stay tuned however you have the framework and those aren't going to change so you can still create your backgrounds. if you stick to those everything will run ok in the theme. If anyone can come up with good selection bars for this theme let me know as the default one are just ugly. Note this theme will NOT be part of the competition either as it was meant for my personal use, but it will become a community contribution project similar to what Hyperspin's community does for that frontend as that is my long term plans for this theme currently.

Glad you like em it should make your cabinet or HTPC look really nice. Here are a few more I've worked on today.
