Title: Game Boy theme (based on Robospin)
Post by: hallwayorchard on July 02, 2019, 07:27:27 AM
Hi All,

I wanted to make a Game Boy theme based on the awesome Robospin layout by Omegaman.

Here it is in action: https://youtu.be/2v7uoiCSbms

You can download my files here: http://hallwayorchard.com/gameboy.zip

Note: your System Identifier needs to be set to "GameBoy" for this to work out of the box. Otherwise, edit the .png file in layouts/gameboy/ backgrounds/ directory to match your identifier.

Hope you like it!

Cheers

Very nice, may I ask where did you find the gameplay videos? They look much better than the ones I saw on emumovies...

These are the EmuMovies videos, but the image I made for the layout adds a Game-Boy-green tint to them to make them look more authentic.

Good to know, thank you! I'll add a similar tint to my layout then :D

This is awesome and I may end up using this one instead of what I have now. Great work!

Very nice! If you made similar themes for other handheld systems (gba, lynx, etc.) that would certainly be fantastic :D Thank you for sharing!

Great work!
Unlike many others for portable devices, this one makes the snaps shine, and it even looks sorta realistic with the tint and the glass reflection!

Waiting for a GBA and PSP ones  ;)
