One final one. If anyone wants any other versions, let me know. Until then, this is the last handheld I'm working on for now.

Hard to notice the file... its right above the pic.
I didn't use conveyor mostly because I don't have a code sample handy that uses it. And carrier is nice and smooth.

I made a very simple version of this to remove (most) of the extra stuff.
I used my module Pos (positioning) module and a slightly modified Carrier module (by Oomek) that basically just adds the capability to use wheel logos instead of snaps.
Carrier does all of the work with the wheel stuff at top. All of the scale.x, scale.y, scale.width, etc just made it quicker for me to position everything for an example. You can swap that out with hard coded values if it's easier.

could you pass me the code so I have the bezels for all the games?Sure. Code below
That said... Yaron, do you have any interest in looking into the horizontal bezel thing? Or would you want me to? Or does your latest version handle horizontal bezels already? I haven't had a chance to look
This is the simple version that just looks for the snap width to height ratio. It doesn't look for cfg files or anything. I tried to boil this down to the basics... this code is untested as I cut it out and simplified it, but it should be pretty close
Code: [Select]
local bezel = fe.add_artwork("bezel", 0,0, 640, 480))
bezel.trigger = Transition.EndNavigation
local snap_scaling_finished = false
//change x/y values as neeeded
local h_snap_x = 10
local h_snap_y = 20
local v_snap_x = 20
local v_snap_y = 10
function artwork_transition( ttype, var, ttime )
{
if ( ttype == Transition.EndNavigation || ttype == Transition.StartLayout || ttype==Transition.ToNewList || ttype==Transition.FromGame )
{
if ( !snap_scaling_finished )
{
// check if vertical
if (snap.subimg_width !=0 && snap.subimg_height !=0)
{
if (snap.subimg_width/snap.subimg_height < 1)
{
// vertical
snap.x= v_snap_x
snap.y= v_snap_y
snap_scaling_finished = true
return true // redraw
}
else
{
// horizontal
snap.x = h_snap_x
snap.y = h_snap_y
snap_scaling_finished = true
return true // redraw
}
}
else
{
// only happens if there's no snap video or for some reason can't get subimg values
snap_scaling_finished = true
return false
}
}
return false
}
if (ttype== Transition.FromOldSelection)
{
if (snap_scaling_finished)
{
// set back to defaults
snap.x = h_snap_x
snap.y = h_snap_y
snap_scaling_finished = false
return true // redraw
}
}
return false
}
fe.add_transition_callback("artwork_transition")

Right I think so too, but there would be no way to resize videos to automatically fit you have bezels?
If one knows the inside dimensions of the bezels its possible. I have code for this already that I wrote for a layout i'm working on that uses RetroArch bezels and their CFG files to correctly reposition and scale videos to fit the bezels, regardless of differing aspect or xy placement values
If its just a question of using one size for horizontal and one for vertical then it's much simpler. In that case one just has to look at the snap.subimg_width to height ratio to determine the aspect and then adjust positioning and scaling in a transition callback.
Yaron has my WIP layout already, and he can feel free to use whatever bits of that code that he needs. I owe him for all of the shader code of his that I've borrowed.

Is there another way to look at code? In any case... it doesn't get much more boring than scaling and positioning.

I've updated the module to now include a few more methods.
horizontal_space_between(object,object2=null,padding=0)
gets the horizontal space between 2 objects. Useful for cramming something in between them. This can be used, for instance, to fill a gap between an object and the edge of the screen, or find the space between 2 things
vertical_space_between(object,object2=null,padding=0)
gets the vertical space between 2 objects. Useful for cramming something in between them.
get_object_xy2 (type, object)
gets the right or bottom x/y value. Sometimes known as x2 or y2
In the screenshot, i used the vertical_space_between method to set the height of the logo to fit between the instruction card and the bottom of the screen with 10 (scaled) pixels of padding above and below
I used the x method to center the wheel against the instruction card
I used the y method to set the TOP of the wheel 20 pixels (scaled) below the BOTTOM of the instructions

wheel.y = pos.y(20,"top",wheel, instructions_bg,"bottom")
wheel.height = pos.vertical_space_between(instructions_bg,null,10)

Boardwalk-Neo
Neo Geo themed
This is a basic layout styled after NeoGeo look and feel.
Requires:
- File module
- Preserve Art module
Uses:
- snap: video snaps ideally
- instructions: 2d instruction files (recommended: https://emumovies.com/files/file/1628-neo-geo-mvs-marquee-pack-mini/)
- wheel: wheel logos
- marquee: neogeo marquees (recommended: https://emumovies.com/files/file/1633-neo-geo-mvs-marquee-pack/)
Features:
- Selectable or randomized T-Molding
- 3 Selectable or randomized Bezels
- Randomized backgrounds (add your own to the backgrounds folder and they'll show up as well)
- Themes is scalable to any size
- Does not use a spinning wheel (but does use wheel logos)
This uses my Pos (positioning) module, so it works at most any size
