MNMax21 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 It still says Nintendo N64 in the above pic. I believe that would need to sat Nintendo 64 to pull krak's very cool Nintendo 64 background. If you look in the past posts, you should be able to view an example. It has yoshi in it. You would need to be in the setup wizard and go under emulator selection. Then highlight the Nintendo 64 or N64 line. Click the right arrow. The emulator name should then be listed as Nintendo 64 on the two open paths for naming. If they mirror his naming, you'll pull his cool artwork. Be careful how much you edit in the gameex.ini. I've made that mistake before, which is why I always make a copy prior to editing. The generic name for what you're asking above is "Emultor Games". If you change it to that in the custom text section of the wizard, that may fix your issue.

rabidpuppy Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Okay so here's my home screen, emulator select, and n64 game list:I'm guessing that's how it is supposed to look? If the only way to get a video playing on the home screen next to Emulated Games is to change the custom text, I will live with it as is. Cheers!

Krakerman Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 I am having issues only with MAME videos currently. Haven't had the time to look into that yet.Glad the Background Snap Path fixed your issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNMax21 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I don't believe I have a video playing on the home screen when I am under the emulator games. I think I just have the logo on the left. You can make logos avi files I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabidpuppy Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I am having issues only with MAME videos currently. Haven't had the time to look into that yet. Glad the Background Snap Path fixed your issue. My mame videos are actually all working fine in your theme. Both on the home screen and within the mame game select menu.

MNMax21 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I'm not having problems with any of the videos in MAME or the emulator areas. I do not have a video playing in the main screen area(start) when I have emulator games selected. However, I can't recall if there ever was one there even.

Krakerman Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Home screen is my issue currently but I have looking but can't find what is causing it to not play. If I set Mame up as an emulator it works fine in both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNMax21 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Would you mind putting out a bulk update every once in a while. That way we can just download one zip of all the updates since release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 I could but not so sure about GE main site as I don't think you can do that at least from my side. My next update won't be for awhile taking a break from theme designing will let you know when I start back at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krakerman Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 Been working on some new things to come with a new updated Atari 2600 theme.Here is what's new!:- Game box artwork for each game will change when selecting game titles.- Cartridge art now has a custom game title for each game above the videos. Moved to the right side for video playback.- Moved the List Num to the bottom wood grain art.- Cartridge at the top displays the name of the selected game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krakerman Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 Here is another example with a custom cart faceplate for the videos. I even have a few more features I can do to each game theme. I'll post a few more pics later tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNMax21 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Where's the update for this one!!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Not out yet just started on this. This one will take time to make all the box/cart art but this is what I have done to enhance this theme even further.Reason I'm anxious for EVO to really see what else I can do.

MNMax21 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Are you doing a slide for each game or does it just filter in the specific artwork? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNMax21 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I hope you know I'm joking around on the updates request. I just like your work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Ok more updates to the 2600. Each game can have it's own independent artwork, box and cart video bezels. Also I added where the list num bers used to be I added the model no. for each game title. Here is an example of the Pitfall! 2600 theme showcasing all the new features that I've talked about.@MNMax21 I know! Glad you like it. This is how I've always wanted my 2600 theme to look but there have been limitations to what GameEx can do, but I've managed to work around them. With EVO I might not have to do this but I won't know for sure until it's finally released. I try to think outside the box and showcase things that have not been seen before.Each game can have it's own theme but if one is not found it will have a default theme until one is made kinda in the same sense the way hyperspin works.

MNMax21 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Are you planning on keeping the controllers in the foreground? I kind of miss them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
