Title: Hyperspin Theme Mode [Released]
Post by: Yaron2019 on February 28, 2020, 05:34:48 AM
'Hyperspin Theme Mode' is a theme that recreates a hyperspin-like experience by using mp4 theme videos provided by emumovies. The result is extremely close to the original experience and since it doesn't actually try to run cumbersome native hyperspin themes - just their rendered videos -  it is very light on resources and much faster compared to the origin. Everything is here: the glitz, the themes, the animatons, the fading wheels, sounds, game info, 16:9 or 4:3 perspective and more. You can tinker with all options - which there are many.  Featured in the demo video is Arcade themes, but this system will of course work with any mp4 videos for any system.
Enjoy!  :)

HOW TO USE:
1. IN ORDER TO HAVE THIS THEME WORK, PLEASE PLACE YOUR SNAP VIDEO FILES AND WHEEL LOGOS IN THE FOLLOWING PATH, IN THIS CASE MAME:
Wheel logos -> attract\menu-art\Mame\wheel
Theme videos -> attract\menu-art\Mame\themes


2. THEN MAKE SURE TO SET THE CORRECT PATHS FOR THE EMULATOR CFG FILE YOU ARE USING (For example "attract\emulators\mame.cfg"):

Code: [Select]
# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.6.1
#
executable           C:/attract/apps/Mame/mame64.exe
args                 [name]
rompath              C:/attract/apps/Mame/roms
romext               .zip;.chd
system               Arcade
info_source          listxml
exit_hotkey          Escape
artwork    flyer            C:/attract/menu-art/mame/flyer
artwork    marquee          C:/attract/menu-art/mame/marquee
artwork    snap             C:/attract/menu-art/mame/snap
artwork    themes           C:/attract/menu-art/mame/themes  <- THIS IS WHERE YOU WANT THE THEME TO LOOK FOR THE VIDEO FILES
artwork    wheel            C:/attract/menu-art/mame/wheel <- THIS IS WHERE YOU WANT THE THEME TO LOOK FOR THE WHEEL LOGO FILES
artwork    boxart           C:/attract/menu-art/mame/boxart

HYPERSPIN THEME MODE WILL USE THE EMULATOR DATA TO LOOK FOR THE VIDEOS, WHEEL LOGOS, ETC.

If you are using the "Hyperspin Main Menu Theme Mode", place the videos and wheel in:
Wheel logos -> attract\menu-art\wheel
Theme videos -> attract\menu-art\themes


In this case there is no need to edit any emulator cfg file.

The reason it's happening is because the ftp access is not free. Your account level is "Content Contributor" so you were given FTP access, but it's not free for non-paying and non-contributing users.

If that is indeed the case then you can download the HQ version available for free from their website and set the option for 'Theme visual quality' to medium in the layout menu - it will be great with the HQ resolution and honestly there is a very little difference within the theme - when coding it, I myself could barely notice the difference...

Hi,

First of all, thank you for your amazing work !

Sadly the theme is very laggy on my setup. Here's a video that demonstrates how laggy it is on my Naomi cabinet:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iHlzfv5ubBos9aflnOBU96B4-jGfKurH/view (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iHlzfv5ubBos9aflnOBU96B4-jGfKurH/view)

I tried to remove all the animations (including the wheel) and modules on your layout and while it's reduce the lag, it's still not perfect.

I also tried to reduce quality and fps of the video but it doesn't seems to change much.

For my setup, I use Odroid XU4 with the OGST image (Debian Jessie) connected to a Naomi cabinet (4:3). As for the videos, I use the HQ version from emumovies

Do you have any ideas/tips to remove this lag ?
Title: Re: Hyperspin Theme Mode [Release v2.0]
Post by: Yaron2019 on April 14, 2020, 04:55:33 AM
That's not laggy, that's a powerpoint presentation...  ;)
 
The first thing I would try is to disable the videos themselves. Use the original code of the theme as you downloaded it. Just delete the theme from the layout menu and place the original theme folder back there. Then rename the 'themes' folder in 'attract/menu-art/' to something like _themes_. This will not enable the Hyperspin Theme Mode to play the videos. Then run attractmode and see if there is any lag in the theme itself - how the wheel and other animations move and behave.

If there is no lag, your device has a problem running these videos and you should rencode them to a format that works for it. From what I see, the videos are encoded as H64 MPEG 4 AVC (part 10)(avc1) according to VLC media player.
If not, please upload another video showing me how it behaves.

Title: Re: Hyperspin Theme Mode [Release v2.0]
Post by: AoiMasa on April 15, 2020, 09:20:12 AM
Thanks for the fast reply ! :)

I tried to remove only the themes like you said but the lag still seems here. I made a new video that show how it behave. As you can see, even attract menu has some lag when I turn the monitor static effect off.. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aj6usYsTg8lxz1BXiP2w8zBN0b8GXw8g/view

Also the press start and next game image are upside down  ???

For the video format, I also read that attract mode is not very fan of MPEG 4 format so rencoding the videos can be a solution. I will looking more into it.

But I really don't get why your theme is slow on my Odroid because other than that, videos run smoothly on VLC and I don't have any lag problem with the games...

Post by: Yaron2019 on April 15, 2020, 11:12:30 AM
I am attaching to this message the layout file with an option to turn off the wheel fadeout effect.
Download it and replace the current layout.nut file you have in the Hyperspin Theme Mode folder.

Then run attractmode, go into the theme options and set 'Enable Wheel Fadeout' to 'No'.
Test and see result.

If there is no change, go into the theme options and turn 'Set perspective' to 4:3.
Test and see result.

If there is no change, in theme options turn 'Enable screen bezel' to 'No'
Test and see result.

If there is no change, turn 'Enable hyperspin extra animations' to 'No'
Test and see result.

Also, what version of attractmode are you using?
Tell me what happened.
Title: Re: Hyperspin Theme Mode [Release v2.0]
Post by: d4funky1 on April 16, 2020, 03:57:32 AM
Hi,

I have downloaded your theme but I am having some issues with getting it looking as per your video.

At present I have the static screen playing with the wheel of game choices on the right hand side.  The bezel seems to be non-existent.  When I select a new bezel design I can see a small slither (2 or 3 pixel width) of the bezel colour down the side but nothing else?

Also, I have downloaded all flyers, marquees, mp4 for all of my ROMs and placed them in the correct paths and even changed the path in the options but I still only get the static screen and nothing else.

All of these game videos play fine when the screensaver kicks in?

I'm sure this is only a small issue that I am missing but it is bugging the hell out of me and your help would be appreciated.

**EDIT**

I am using a 4:3 monitor
Title: Re: Hyperspin Theme Mode [Release v2.0]
Post by: Yaron2019 on April 16, 2020, 05:43:55 AM
Hi,

I am using a 4:3 monitor

Hi, the bezel is intended for use when running 4:3 aspet ratio on a 16:9 monitor (in this scenario there are large black squares on the sides so the bezels cover them). There is no use for them on a 4:3 monitor.

As for the videos - this should be a "paths" issue. This theme will look for the videos in this path: attract/menu-art/mame/themes. The Hyperspin Theme Mode layout is a display that uses the data you provide for the emulator you use to run the games. Make sure the emulator you are using - in my case MAME - looks for the videos in the same path. Here is the settings for my MAME emulator where the layout will pull the paths from:

# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.6.1
#
executable           E:/Arcade/Attract/apps/Mame/mame64nonag.exe
args                 [name]
rompath              E:/Arcade/Attract/apps/Mame/roms
romext               .zip;.chd
system               Arcade
info_source          listxml
exit_hotkey          Escape
artwork    flyer           $PROGDIR/menu-art/mame/flyer
artwork    marquee         $PROGDIR/menu-art/mame/marquee
artwork    themes          $PROGDIR/menu-art/mame/themes  <- THIS IS WHERE YOU WANT THE THEME TO LOOK FOR THE VIDEO FILES
artwork    wheel           $PROGDIR/menu-art/mame/wheel <- THIS IS WHERE YOU WANT THE THEME TO LOOK FOR THE WHEEL LOGO FILES
artwork    boxart          $PROGDIR/menu-art/mame/boxart <- THIS IS WHERE YOU WANT THE THEME TO LOOK FOR THE BOXART FILES

'$PROGDIR' just tells attractmode to look for the folder where attractmode is located (like "C:\My Arcade\attract...")


LAST THING: Make sure you are using the latest version of attractmoed (2.6.1).
Title: Re: Hyperspin Theme Mode [Release v2.0]
Post by: d4funky1 on April 16, 2020, 06:50:20 AM
Thanks for your reply.

I'm not sure how to find out which version of attract mode I am using, I simple installed the latest RetroPie and then from the Manage Experimental Packages installed and updated attract mode.  **EDIT** 2.6.1 definitely.

I am using the arcade folder to base all of my games and selecting various emulators and therefore I am not using the MAME folders as such.

In my set up connecting via iMac the path that I have usually follows the following route:

configs/all/attractmode/menu-art/ then either fanart, flyer, marquee, snap, wheel

There is no emulator named in the path?  Also as I am using a Mac to connect to the Pi it only give me access to bios, configs, roms & splashscreens folders.

**EDIT**

Just had another look and can confirm that I only have options for Flyer, Marquee, Snap & Wheel

There is no Theme option in my settings?

I also don't have a theme folder within the menu-art folder

Attached is a customized layout file. Copy it to the 'Hyperspin Theme Mode' folder so it replaces the current one.
Make sure you theme videos are now in attract/menu-art/snap

Tell me if you see the videos.

Sorry for the late reply !  :-[ I tried all your suggestions but the lag was still here.

BUT I managed to make the lag go away by using the custom attract mode package made for the OGST debian image. This custom package use the v2.4 of Attract mode but for some reason it has much better performance than the version I installed myself. I also discovered that all softwares on OGST image are custom package made by the creator of this image so he had to make some "magical" optimizations to make anything run smoothly or something like that....

However since I now use a earlier version of attract, the theme had some bugs but I managed to fix them. I put them here in case someone encounters these problems as well:


With theses fixes, your theme finally runs perfectly on my setup !  ;D Next step is now to implement the main menu theme you made. ;)

Thanks again for your help !

Yaron your Layout is great and inspired me to make a huge modification in the hyperspin.nut. But, since i use in the RPi3, i made some modifications so the layout works in the way that i want: (search for the art inside the /menu-art/ or in the /roms/(emulator) folder).

I also change the pointer and bezels, so the theme look specifically for bezels and pointers for each system and create a category "Emulator". I will share my pointers and bezels: https://mega.nz/file/uhUmhAZR#n0PfuyH6FdH-RWJhN1EW2kXZpKFt45vweewTNqtyD3U   

Just place them inside the respective folders inside the theme folder.

This theme uses only videos of themes, not the real themes. The reason for this is that attractmode still doesn't fully support real HS themes. Until we have full support this is the best solution. You can also try this:

Hey @Yaron2019 - this theme is great! I was using a poor man's hyperspin on AM from forever ago, but when I rebuilt last night, I plugged this in and it's amazing. One question though, and I may be missing it, but does your theme have the ability to spin the wheel randomly (for screen saving and discoverability purposes)? I always liked that feature in HS.

You are welcome. No, this theme does not have the ability to spin randomly but stay tuned about HS theme support - big things should happen soon!

Of course! This theme makes use of video renders of the original Hyperspin themes which looks exactly like the real deal. If your Pi3 can run Attract Mode and play videos this theme will work.

The download is now a part of the Great Themes Collection:

I don't think that the fact you are using a Pi should matter, but I don't have a Pi so I may be mistaken.
If the mame.cfg file in the emulators folder points to the location where the themes are at then it should work.

Hi, I am a bit new to AttractMode but I have a weird issue.
I am installing it on a Pimoroni PiCade, I have setup Hyperspin Theme Mode with Snaps and Wheels but the entire layout is upside down. The wheels are ok but the layout for the snaps is not, also the bottom details ( Next Game, Press Start etc..) is also upside down.

Any Idea ?

Hi, what version of attract mode are you using? this is running on Pi?
Title: Re: Hyperspin Theme Mode [Release v3.0]
Post by: lixtetraxx on August 06, 2020, 08:44:06 AM
Yes on a Pi4, its in Retropie 4.6 Experimental Packages now.
I do not know the version of AttractMode, its installed from source in the Retropie Setup Menu.

This theme was developed on attract mode v2.6.1 and windows 10 pc, if you are using an earlier version I can't do much. There is a changelog file in the attract folder, it should show the version. You can also run the 'attract-console.exe' file. It will open a console window and in it attract mode prints the current version.
When you are at it, also navigate to you hyper spin theme display (your mame or arcade) and copy/paste the text that is printed in the console - or post a screenshot here. It should show something like this:

Code: [Select]
Attract-Mode v2.6.1 (Windows, SFML 2.5.1 +SWF +7z +Curl)
avcodec 58.54.100 / avformat 58.29.100 / swscale 5.5.100 / avutil 56.31.100 / swresample 3.5.100

Nvidia GPU detected. Attract Mode profile was not found so it has been created.
In order for the changes to take effect, please restart Attract Mode

Config: D:\Arcade\attract\attract.cfg

*** Initializing display: 'Mame'
 - Loaded master romlist 'mame' in 26 ms (2877 entries kept, 776 discarded)
 - Constructed 1 filters in 0 ms (2877 comparisons)
Attract-Mode Version: v2.6.1
Screen aspect ratio: 16x9
Resolution: 1920x1080
Shader GLSL available: 1
OS: Windows
        using settings[16x9][aspectDepend][res_x] : 1920
        using settings[16x9][aspectDepend][res_y] : 1080
        using settings[16x9][aspectDepend][maskFactor] : 1.9
 - Loaded layout: D:\Arcade\attract\layouts/Hyperspin Theme Mode/ (layout.nut)

ALSO - make sure you are not trying to run the actual hyperspin themes! "Hyperspin Theme Mode" uses only unified videos of the themes - mp4 video files, not the the themes themselves!

If you want to use the original HS themes, use the PCCA theme for attract mode, it's still in development but it works pretty well:

I've managed to get all of the other hemes to work except for hyperspin, it would show me the list of games and wheels, but no videos.  Do I need the video in certain format ? I mean they are all mp4 and the other themes doesn't seem to have any problem with it. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Hi, place the hyperspin videos in a folder named "themes" in your attract\menu-art\[emulator of choice] folder.
for example: "C:\attract\menu-art\mame\themes".

Then add to your [emulator of choice] cfg file (mame.cfg for example) this line:

Code: [Select]
artwork    themes          $PROGDIR/menu-art/Mame/themes
mp4s are just fine.
Tell me if you have any other issues.

Cheers

Ok thanks, I got it to work, but for the hyperspin main menu, I can't seem to make it look for the videos in "K:\Attract Mode\menu-art\snap" folder, I had to rename "snap" to "themes" for it to work.

Good! Yeah, main menu works in a different way in AM. I will update the instructions in the main page.

You are not doing something properly because this feature is as simple as playing snap videos. It MUST work.
did you turn it on in the layout options?  hhhmmmmm?!

Dude I did everything here are the screenshots, surely I'm wrong.

a) folder path O:\attract\gtc-common
b) layout options

Oh crap, we are having a discussion of deaf people.
I am talking about the 'Hyperspin Theme Mode' layout and you are talking about the 'Hyperspin Theme Mode Main Menu' layout!

I didn't even add that transitions function to that layout.

Maybe in the next release.

I recorded some Hyperspin game themes that are converted to 16:9, artworks in swf files for better quality, and no stretching.

Hi yaron ! thank you for the work which is magnificent.

I embarked on a project to create a video theme for my consoles.
I have a technical question for developers.
I saved my .mp4 video in different resolutions and bitrate.

I realized that the videos in 3840 x 2160 in 15kbts jerks / slowly.
2560 x 1440 is fluid up to 20kbps bitrate.

My question is:

is there a solution for the video themes in hyperspin video theme to be readable with a high bitrate and resolution rate?

Is it a plugin issue or something else? changeable or not?

Developers to your keyboards :) hihi

thank you in advance and have a good evening

Would it be possible to create a genre menu similar to the one the HyperSpin system has? In other words, when pressing the filters, instead of plain text like I currently have, I would like to display a HyperSpin-like wheel
