Tom's a busy guy. Thanks for the work, Tom! It's a great program you've built. I'm expecting 'VALHALLA Beta' to be finished tomorrow at this time. Anybody have any ideas of where to host the +25Mb file? 'RapidShare.de' maybe? Or is there a GameEx page for it? night could add it to his site if he wants since he sounded interested in his PMs. And just to make you all a little more anxious, I brought presents: See you tomorrow!

emubak.png will show up after you exit a game?? ... hmm... might be kind of cool to make a Game Over screen

In your Consoles.7z I found the 32x picture I've been needing. Thanks! Looks like everyone has the similar idea. Haha, but everyone's putting their own spin on each. Adultery, you found a good Yoshi pic! Bah, a month ago I was going to use him for the GameBoy section, but then decided on Pikachu Oh well... Anyways, Valhalla won't be up until maybe Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm still playing with it and adding the Game Gear and Dreamcast emulators. P.S. Does anybody know how to get the MAME background to change???

Thanks Night, great sets! Still need a better Genesis and 32x, though. And my PM is turned on now.

Sounds good. Right now I'm actually putting in console pics, and I need good Sega Genesis, Sega 32x and SegaCD console pics. As for my own source images, I can give you Photoshop files and raw images of anything you'll see in my theme. To everyone else, I've spent the entire day playing with my 'Valhalla' theme, and there's a really good chance I'll have a Beta run available soon. So far I have the following consoles made: NES, SNES, N64, Gameboy, GB Advance, PSX, SMS, Genesis, Sega 32x, Sega CD, and Atari Jaguar. Latest: Great Idea, Nologic

Wow, didn't expect so many kind words. Thanks a heap everyone! Nologic - Bingo! AvP for the Jaguar. How could I forget that? And here I was about to use Bubsy or Rayman scary thought. I'm still iffy about Pac-Man, though. If I was going to use him, it'd be for the MAME section. Night - Yeah, finding a popular character for each system is a pain in the arse. I haven't seen the theme you're working on yet (I'm new to the forums). Can I get a link? No worries, I don't copy. If you wanna share ideas though, that'd be cool. Headkaze - Google Image is what I've been using to find some decent scans, but it's hard when you don't know what to look for I type in "Master System" for instance, and all I get are low res screenshots of the console, that's why I was asking for suggestions As far as using Photoshop, the entire project is pretty much done in layers (Ex: for the borders, two overlapping rectangles, both semi-transparent). I did use Image Blending for shadows in the header text, but not so much in the textboxes or characters. Any other ideas for that bottom-right corner? Anyways, thanks again for the comments. I'll put up a Beta Theme in a day or two so you guys can play around with it. Until then, here's a teaser

I just want to run a few Qs by you guys regarding a theme I'm making. First question: Does anybody know of any 'game icons' for the Atari 2600, Atari Jaguar, Intellivision, and the Sega Master System? And by 'iconic' I mean something like Nintendo's Mario or Sega's Sonic. Why do I need to know? ...Well, maybe it'd be easier to show you what I'm trying to do: Here's the screens for the SNES, N64, and Genesis pages (so far):

Am I the only person who DOESN'T use KEGA for Sega ROMS? (I use Gens+) Maybe I'd convert over to KEGA if I ever learn how to get more video filters to work...

I've got 108 N64 Roms, and I don't get any exception. Most are .z64's though, and I'm running XP.

I'm getting ALMOST the exact same problem as you. But in my case, I don't even see the games you mentioned in GameEx. All my filters are turned off and everything. I see them just fine in MAME when I run it solo, but in GameEx they don't even show up. Anybody have any idea what could be causing this?
