Hyperspin Theme conversion question - Backgrounds not Showing

(1/3) > >>

Steve0:
So.. digging thru the forum I've found a plethora of information on how to "convert" the hyperspin themes into attract mode.   The problem I'm having is I can get the theme over...and load the video / cartridge art, etc...  but my Artwork in the default.zip (which is in the \themes folder) does not show.  This consists of Artwork1.png, Artwork2.png, and background.png.   I've attached a screenshot.  Any suggestions?  I've even tried putting these in the artwork1, artwork2 and background folder... with no joy.

Don't feel alone, I cain't get mine working either. I can on my laptop but not on my arcade :(

Steve0:
Hmm.. gives me an idea....  Do you mind telling me what your resolution is set at on your laptop and on your arcade machine?

Your Theme.xml dictates which directory it is looking for specific artwork. If the folder structure on disk doesn't match, then it won't be able to load.

Most Hyperspin themes assume everything sits in the same directory. Make sure spelling is correct and everything is extracted.

The other key thing is, make sure you have the latest hyperspin.nut file located in your /opt/retropie/supplementary/attractmode/share/attract/loader directory.

 If you are still having issue try creating this structure in your theme folder and placing the proper files in each folder.

arcade it 1280x1024 I think and laptop is 1366x768. no matter what I set it to is does not change my issue though. I'm getting really frustrated with it because I know its got to be something simple and I know I we can't be the only two with this issue. Another thing, how does it know where the adobe flash is located and does it even use it. I went into the file and tried to open the background swf and nothing. I downloaded a flash played and I was able to view it. That makes me think it is a flash issue. I just don't know were to start. I like hyperspins themes but I don't like hyperspin and I would really like to get this to work.
