Xbox 360 Theme add on: https://youtu.be/JNon_UKW6UY?si=vr8nWkFkRA2G320- (https://youtu.be/JNon_UKW6UY?si=vr8nWkFkRA2G320-)
This might just be the best theme yet, Microsoft Xbox 360 theme, built in photoshop and brought to life with Attract Mode +
This one's using a new Attract Mode + module by Chadnaut called Sequence, this is an advanced preview copy, but it's looking incredible from my perspective. Big thank you to Chadnaut, who basically wrote the majority of the animations in this theme using it. I've now got my head around it, so will be using it for themes going forward. The big bonus on sequence is stackable animations, so you can do lots of cool sequences very easily with it.
https://github.com/Chadnaut/Attract-Mode-Modules/tree/master/modules/sequence (https://github.com/Chadnaut/Attract-Mode-Modules/tree/master/modules/sequence)
Interactable features:
-Toggable menu reflections (massive thanks to Tankman3737, I couldn't get this to work, but he very kindly spent the time getting it working and looking great!)
-Animated ripples on menu floor
-Disc tray opens and closes
-Disc pops into tray and closes with tray
-Power button follows original Xbox 360 load sequence
-Tray eject button presses and depressed with tray animations
-Custom menu following Xbox 360 NXE theme, but with my own twist on it.
-Custom meta screen, meta disc animation.
-Toggle full screen on / off
Big shout out to Chadnaut and Tankman3737, you guys are awesome!

Congrats for you themes they are really awesome what a great work!
I have only one question why a PS5 theme? No emulators so what's the purpose?
-
Hey @Giacomo1982 thanks for the kind words :-) PS5 is just a personal thing for me, eventually in the future we might see an emulator, but for myself, I just like the concept of seeing the games that were exclusives on PS5 (at least until PC ported, in their own artworks (disc/box) which I've made myself aswell. But yeah for now sadly just pc ports

Couple of additions:
NeoGeo Pocket Colour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTU2fiRTN_s&ab_channel=Zestful
-Thumbstick moves up/left/down/right as you move your real life controller
-Original Neo Geo Colour menu recreation
-Current time as per OG menu
Uzebox: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQYHuXFWK0I&t=15s&ab_channel=Zestful
Collobaration on this one with TankMan3737 he came up with this incredible blades menu within the tablet, which looks and works great & initial theme build with the CRT. I've skinned a nostalgic room vibe around this with photoshop and added some hand animations to it, I think it's turned out great.
Interactive features:
-Interactive tablet, using TankMan3737's amazing blade menu.
-Active menu indicator
-Menu expands to show cart and game story
-Hand swipes up and down as you navigate the menu
-CRT, with a right hand next game preview (if going forwards in the menu)
Using Chadnaut's sequence for the hand animations which is an advanced preview copy: https://github.com/Chadnaut/Attract-Mode-Modules/tree/master/modules/sequence

Hi, your themes are really beautiful, but I was wondering why you don't share such beautiful themes? I understand that everyone decides what to do, but wouldn't it be nice to let us have fun with your themes too? ;)

Hi manzarek,
Thanks for the kind words. On the 1st post on this thread I've mentioned I'll be sharing it when completed. It'll be a complete build you'll just have to add your own games, . A lot of the themes are using bespoke stuff, and paths specific to the build, so I'm not planning to share until it's all finished. Similar idea to how zpaolo11x has released his.
-
Ok I apologize, but my laziness has always been my Achilles heel, thank you very much then I will wait and in the meantime I can only thank you. ;)

Couple of additions since last update:
JVC X'Eye theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nR_ITywyswc&ab_channel=Zestful (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nR_ITywyswc&ab_channel=Zestful)
-Console has both CD's and Carts, and the theme knows how to behave for each
--CD tray opens for CD's, and stays closed when carts.
--Cart flaps open when Carts are inserted, but stay closed when CD's are used.
-TV channel cycles with game
This was quite a tricky one to pull off. Big thanks to Oomek for helping me with some animation quirks which resulted from my sloppy coding & showing me how to more efficiently implement it too!
I'll probably look at making my own 3d carts in the future, as the ones from emumovies look flat as a pancake at this angle.

Couple of recent additions to the build.
Nintendo Wii:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UM32hpS7rc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UM32hpS7rc)
Features:
-Original Nintendo Wii menu recreation
-Extension of original Wii game details screen, with some additional meta like boxes, controller art, story
-Recreation of disc inert console lighting effect
-Recreation of controller synch animation

Special thanks to Tankman3737, who got the grid up and running with the curved corners, which sounds easy but is actually quite a challenge to do. Thanks Oomek also for your awesome Grid Module and Chadnaut for Sequence module (early preview copy for testing) which is used here for the disc & light animations & Mask which is used to curve the corners of the grid.

Original Microsoft Xbox main menu theme recreation, with custom themed meta overlay. This took almost a week, finished off the sounds on my lunch break today, enjoy!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xc7AwBXR5pQ
Features:
-OG Menu recreation
-Animated globe (actually uses 5 separate image assets and sequence to make it look animated), globe backing also move up and down depending on menu direction.

-Custom meta overlay (button Y on controller)
-OG Menu sounds and meta overlay transition
-Console tray open / close and disc animations
-Console OG light sequence for disc insert/loading
- Los Angeles city view for windows
Special thanks:
-Big thanks to Tankman3737, for working on the animated wheel icons/active slot, I wasn't sure how to animate the text object and the wheel assets, Tank's pulled out some surface wizardry and got it looking great! Much better than my crappy static version. He can always make the impossible possible!
-Chadnaut for letting me use his awesome Sequence module and always being available to help with it.
-David Marti for sharing a way to scroll long game names on the wheel so the don't run over the wheels available space. I've not implemented this part yet but it'll be in the final version.
-Oomek for his power of work on Attract Mode+ and always being willing to help the community! Much appreciated.

Also fixed a wee bug I noticed while recording where if a filter was applied the correct top selling game wouldn't load.

I've went for a Rachid Loft style with this one, he's one of my favourite retro artists. I think it's turned out very nice.
