The Great Themes Collection v10.3.2 - Final Edition! (Updated 27 February 2021)

[Yaron2019]

when I open your hyperspin themes on raspberry pi the animated text "press start" and "next game" including the joystick are upside down and backwards. Is there any fix to that? i looked at the file it is correct but when it comes up in attract mode on pi it is upsidedown and backwards.

Of course I have a fix: Turn your monitor upside down! 

Honestly I don't know - I think someone reported the same issue in the past but I don't have a PI so I can't test it. Sorry mate.
You can turn them off though from the layout options menu...

Is there a way in the layout nut to move or perhaps  use x and y in the layout nut to flip em'? Also i would have to flip my monitor upside down and put a mirror on it. haha I think discus of tron works that way

In the layout.nut file, look at "// Joystick and Press start animations" (lines 1422 - 1552). This is the part that handles the "press start" and "next game" art and animations.

Try the attached layout.nut in your' Hyperspin Theme Mode' and tell me if it made any change.

These look really good.  I've added them to my RPi 3 (not overclocked) build, however the animations are a bit too choppy and take too  long to transition between systems.  I will disable the animation, but is this just the limit to the raspberry pi's processing power, or do I have another issue going on?

Thanks.
Unfortunately it's the combination of limitations from both AM and the RPi 3. Turning off the animations is the right approach in your situation.

Version 10.1 of The Great Themes Collection is here!

It includes the following improvements:
- Massive improvement in the smoothness of wheel navigation when box and cart arts are enabled
- Better behavior of the wheel logo pulse when navigating the wheel
- Updated the art for the Sega Game Gear layout

Unless I find serious bugs, this will be the final release of this project.

Thanks for all of the great feedback!

I've implemented some default themes for mame in the Hyperspin-Theme-Mode layout.
You can select which one to use from the layout menu and it will show when a unified theme video of a game cannot be found. Just like Hyperspin, it will use the regular mame snap videos instead. This is a much better solution then just slapping the default snap video all over the screen. The result is really sweet.
I also changed the default wheel fadeout to Partially and wheel navigation speed to 25ms to better emulate the original experience.

The Great Themes Collection v10.2 is out with fixes for a few issues.
I have also taken this opportunity to include some improvements to the 'Hyperspin Theme Mode' layouts.

- Removed redundant code in the wheel pointer animation section in all themes
- FIXED: backup snap would not mute when Mute Snap Videos was set to Yes in 'Hyperspin Theme Mode' layout
- Added ability to enable 'Additional wheel click sound' to 'Hyperspin Theme Mode' layouts so a click sound is played when starting wheel navigation which is more compatible with original Hyperspin behavior.
- Added "Arcade" default background theme to 'Hyperspin Theme Mode' layout
- Added hs_click.mp3 sound to the gtc_common\sound folder

found a small error in:

"Round wheel"
"adjust right"
"smaller"

the error is repeated in all more than 100 layouts:

the numbers flx * 0.78 are repeated,

the roulette wheel is a little misaligned.

wrong line:
wheel_x = [flx * 0.90, flx * 0.895, flx * 0.856, flx * 0.825, flx * 0.780, flx * 0.780, flx * 0.73, flx * 0.78, flx * 0.78, flx * 0.856, flx * 0.86 ,];

correct line probably:
wheel_x = [flx * 0.90, flx * 0.895, flx * 0.856, flx * 0.825, flx * 0.780, flx * 0.780, flx * 0.73, flx * 0.78, flx * 0.80, flx * 0.856, flx * 0.86 ,];

Congratulations on the work.

The Great Themes Collection v10.3 is out with a visual bug fix regarding the wheel when it is set to Round+Adjust Right+Smaller.
Thanks for hedergim for catching this one!

Anyway to make lowercase and uppercase titles sort in the same order ?
For example, if the title is "beats Mania" it would not get sort with the letter B titles, but instead it would got placed before the letter A and after the letter Z titles.

Wow that's great.
There are many kinds of themes.
The colorful screen effect is impressive.
Your efforts will entertain many people.
