Draco1962 Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 This is a mock-up of the 1680 x1050 Space Invaders theme I am working on based off of the Bally/Williams bezel. Please provide any praise or criticism you see fit! Thanks! Quote
Adultery Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Ohh that's nice! It makes me wish I had a Space Invaders cab! Love your creative use of foreground images!That's your best work so far IMHO! Quote
Krakerman Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Very nice one Draco! Might have to switch from Sins of a Solar Empire to that one when it's done!Are you gonna add RSS feeds to that as well? Quote
Draco1962 Posted July 12, 2011 Author Posted July 12, 2011 Not sure that I will. Will probably disable RSS feeds, Weather icon, and pop-up descriptions for the sake of simplicity and conserving space. Quote
Adultery Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Keeps it more alluring for the sake of a nice Space Invaders project too. Quote
Krakerman Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 That's too bad RSS Feeds might look pretty kewl with that theme! Quote
Draco1962 Posted July 12, 2011 Author Posted July 12, 2011 The nice thing about themes is that they can be modified to suit one's needs! Quote
celly Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Holy lord! I love it Draco! Man, that looks outstanding. Adultery, here is a nice Space Invaders cab for sale here in Sacramento - http://sacramento.craigslist.org/vgm/2481661043.htmlRoad trip? Quote
Adultery Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Mmm that's in really good shape too! It would be a shame to molest it though if it still works, no? MAME devs would just cry! Quote
Draco1962 Posted July 13, 2011 Author Posted July 13, 2011 OK, just about final with the tweaks then on to creating the common foreground/background screens, sound files and should be ready for release later this week. Feedback welcome! Quote
Adultery Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Still want me to pitch in the samples Drac ol' buddy? Quote
Draco1962 Posted July 13, 2011 Author Posted July 13, 2011 That would be as you say.... awesomesauce! Quote
Adultery Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Okie dokie! I'll work on that right now. .:EDIT:. PM sent! Quote
starbuck Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Looks good. I gotta ask a question about a theme I wanted to do. Never done one so I need to ask a Theme God, is it even possible. When I scroll thru my games, could the foreground of your Space Invader theme change to another foreground that reflexs the game I'm on. So for Space Invader, the forground in this theme would show. For Pacman a different foreground would show etc. If possible I could see a theme like yours being used and others in the community making their own foregrounds for their favorite game and subbitting here to the site.

Draco1962 Posted July 15, 2011 Author Posted July 15, 2011 Thanks! @ehuonder - still waiting on that WOPR! @Starbuck - Adultery speaks the truth on this. The only way I can think of possibly doing anything like what you would like would require setting up several instances of MAME setup as a separate emulator with the ROMs for each game you want to assign a separate screen. Not hardly what I would endeavor to do for the sake of a few custom screens. Quote
Draco1962 Posted July 15, 2011 Author Posted July 15, 2011 Here are a few logos that didn't make the Space Invaders theme - enjoy! Quote
celly Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Here are a few logos that didn't make the Space Invaders theme - enjoy!Thanks for these Draco! Quote
Adultery Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Man you're gonna make me finally set up Radical Bikers! *LOL* Quote
Draco1962 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Posted July 18, 2011 Celly was kind enough to demo video the Space Invaders theme for me - I have added it to the Theme Competition thread and you can also view it . Thanks, Celly!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-P4C0_ePC8 Quote
celly Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 What video? Says it's been removed!The first video had "copyright" issues due to the ambient music (Daft Punk). It kicked it back on both Youtube and when uploaded to Bookface, er, Facebook. I resnapped it with Arcade Ambience and no issues. Quote
