Great pictures (if you like that kind of a cab), but I'm afraid that your cab doesn't fit this particular theme at all.
The whole idea behind the new cab image I'm preparing was to add some variety to the theme WITHOUT changing position and geometry of artwork (ie screen and marquee must be EXACTLY the same size and position) - this obviously can't be done with your image.

It's maybe more suitable to multi-emu theme that omegaman is working right now http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=327.0 where each emulator gets its own layout.

Yes, but it can update the code to fit image. Wish omegaman create a new topic (project) to do that. Or omegaman do you mind I create a new topic? Since I know some programming, may be I can help to update code to fit vewlix cabinet pictures base on Roboskin spinwheel. Thanks.  :)

The code is done and this is the first iteration... Cabinet still needs to be cleaned up a bit.

Yes, this doesn't have to be robospin, just another fork based on it.

We didn't mirror picture to fit Roboskin spinwheel since joystick controller will be incorrect display. So we need to update code to change the wheel location. Please see my post #96 and download new nut file . I will try to clean up the picture and update code again.

It is better you may concentrate all effort to complete original once first. Thanks.  ;)

The first cabinet was on the left side. That's cool... I do have too many pokers in the fire, anyway.

One more advise. For location of Flyers artwork, we can put it next to monitor like as below  ;D

I think it's a time to move it to the separate thread - and call it something like VELVIX spinwheel

Agree. Wish omegaman open it soon. One more, could you help to improve VELVIX's cabinet graphical? I am less skill on doing that. Thank you very mush  :-*

I've cut the cab from background and cleaned it from any junk stickers and screenshots.
In attached zip you will find cab image on transparent background (png).

Good luck with the layout.

Just update the code.  ;)


@ omegaman

Do you know how to change Play count value to rom file name ? Thanks.

Kent-

I don't understand your question. The play count gets updated every time you play the game.

My question is , I want to show the rom file name such as 3wonders.zip, captcomm.zip, ssf2.zip  instead of play count.  Thanks.

Ken-

In the layout section go to the played heading or Line 192 of the updated version. Make the following changes.

from this...  local play = fe.add_text( "Played: " + "[ PlayedCount]", flx*0.095, fly*0.86, flw*0.3, flh*0.022 );

to this...  local play = fe.add_text( "[Name]", flx*0.095, fly*0.86, flw*0.3, flh*0.022 );

@omegaman

The cab name is VEWLIX. I've notice it when I was removing the producer logo from the cab - until now I was 100% sure that it is VELVIX :)
Can you change the thread title in first post?
