Just a quick mock-up of a 'no images available' screen I made to take advantage of the new GameEx feature. I'll be customizing them for each system in a while, but for now here's one for all of them.

I recently got into Visual Pinball so I decided to make an icon that fit better with my theme. It has a transparent background so it won't fudge up the pretty themes people have made.

Wow, I really need to visit these Forums more.

First off, thanks a ton for the kudos. Glad you like it, it made all the work worth while. Still I can't take all the credit. Got some big help from a lot of the crew here (Credited in the readme.txt file).

Which font are you talking about? If it's the font for 'Super Nintendo' etc it's part of the image. If it's the font for everything else, I imagine it's in the config settings. I don't remember hardcoding a font size.

I still don't know how to use the MAME background :lol: I think that's an upcoming feature, so I made a background for it (future-proof). I do hope that MAME backgrounds (and NEO-GEO apparently) are going to be implemented in the future (if they haven't been already :blink:

Looking forward to that KI theme Firebrand! ;)

I just inherited a new cab corpse from a company that allegedly burns 150+ cabs a year (not to mention a real 45s juke and a cocktail table) and is willing to give me some to keep my arcade busy and it'll be nice to put a new skin on 'er! Of course, if they discard the boards too I may just spend some time restoring...

Either way, can't wait for your next creation!

Hey, just one of the guys I wanted to talk to. I've made a lot of headway with the Killer Instinct theme, but it needs some refinement. PM me or send me an email address if you want to help me critique my new project. The same goes for Night, Amos and any one else whose eye for design helped make my last project, 'Valhalla' better.

Killer Instinct, or 'ULTRA' as I affectionately call it, is going to be a lot more simple than Valhalla, but will be much more 'eye candy' as far as design.

Hey firebrand_x, are the psd files for Valhalla available anywhere? I love the theme and I know it's discontinued, but there are one or two systems that I wanted to make my own backgrounds for.

I wouldn't say it's discontinued, but it's on a major hiatus unless I get a few good character pics for systems I've missed, then I'll do another re-re-re-issue. :D

As far as Photoshop Docs for Valhalla, I kinda got screwed on that once so I'm pretty hesitant to give the whole thing out. What I'm happy to do is if I missed any lesser-known systems, and you (or anyone else for that matter) find a good-quality character pic that represents that system, I'll make it for you, then add it to Valhalla.

PM me and we'll talk about it, k?

Here's a GameEx loading pic I made. The artwork is an awesome painting called Pacman in Hospice by Greg "Craola" Simpkins. I darkened the image and added the text "The Dream Arcade is Loading" to it.

My arcade ambiance file is the London Symphony Orchestra playing the super mario brothers theme. It's nice mellow menu navigating music.

I just found this site: http://www.cinemarcade.com/movies.html which has some awesome videos to use as GameEx starts. I'm using the 3d MAME logo with the nice "chick chicka chick ah" music. I love the long version of "The games that time forgot" but I don't like that it has credits. Does anyone know if there's a version of the longer "The games that time forgot" movie intro in a file format GameEx can read (it's quicktime on the site) without the intro credits? All I have to edit movies is Windows Movie Maker, and when I try to mess with, it I ruin the quality.

I use this as my wallpaper in XP. I modified a screen cap of punch-out with a more realistic taunt by tyson :)

Well, I was going to release this last week, but then Metal Gear Solid 4 for the Playstation 3 came out, and ... yeah. It would have taken a massive, amazing game to tear me away from my work on this theme, and MGS4 was it.

Anyways, without any further delays:

Click Here to Download: Killer Instinct - 1024x768

sample1.png

Theme includes:

- 100% Original Design

- Opening Movies

- PSD Photoshop File to easily customize/create backgrounds - Mix and match KI characters with different systems, or throw in Mario, Sonic, etc.

- Killer Instinct Font

I will release a 800x600 Version shortly.

TOM: Can you do me a favor and please re-upload the Valhalla theme to your GameEx website? There's a few tweaks I made to the theme a while ago that don't appear in your version. The latest copy is in the link below. Thanks!

How right you are about MGS. What a nice game that is! :)

As stated, I love this theme. Just need to get cracking on my emu backgrounds for it and all will be well. :)

Yup, MGS4 is solid gold. Hit me up and I'll play some Metal Gear Online with ya! :D

Thanks for the kudos. Are you still working on animated icons? I can't wait to see what KI and Valhalla will look like with those.

Here's my first and poorly attempt at my first theme. It's off one of my all time favorite fighting games! This is still a work in progress I definitely need some pointers :lol I hope Megaupload links are allowed. I'm just hoping someone will test the theme and see what I can do to it and what needs to be done etc.. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FHBUVBCM

Here's a screen shot .

I tried mega upload and for a 15mb file I have let it go for about 4 hours now and it says only 332k is up lmao

You can upload themes on the main GameEx site. It should max out your connection assuming youve not got a t1 or anything.

no not a T1 by any means lol I think I max out at 1.5 up and down but the latency is weird so the most I see on download / upload is 300kbps

This is my first time messing with themes, so I took one I liked and worked with it, it is a overhaul of the BlueEX theme. I have tested it at 1024x768, 1280x1024 and 1360x768 so far.

I mostly use GameEX for games so if you see something weird please let me know and I'll work on it.

One thing I like most about this is the nice clean layout, and clean Icons and etc for the menus.

now that I am getting used to the theme editor more I'll work on making a V4 theme soon.

Anyway let me know what you think!

15mb? I use megaupload all the time and unless you're on dial up it would never take that long. Check your scripts or firewall settings to make sure you are not blocking any ports. If megaupload is giving you trouble try mediafire rapidshare or fileplanet. I look forward to testing it out.

I have two quick questions. I'm working on another theme *basically a mod of the arcade classics theme* What are Foreground backgrounds and how do I stop the "image 1 and image 2" from moving for example when I choose a background for say SNES and want to move "image 2" It'll move it from the other backgrounds too. I'm still a theme editor n00b :D
