Themes / Re: Using native Hyperspin in attract-mode

« on: May 02, 2020, 03:08:19 AM »

I ran some test this morning and that's what i found.

In the first picture you can see it seems fine. I put attract mode in window instead fullscreen and give it a 4:3 aspect ratio.
In the second photo i loaded my hyperspin.nut in your hyperspinv3 image for raspberry but it is in a 16:9 tv.
In the third photo i just forced in config.txt file a resolution of 1280x960   60Hz   4:3 in my tv

that's what i change in config.txt:

hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=32

but it works like that just if in the display layout option i leave in 16:9. If i set in 4:3 appear black bar on top.
In raspberry it could depend from your hardware resolution, from monitor setup and also from config.txt.
Every setup could be a little bit different you have just to play a little bit with the option.
And like i said early i'm not a developer, i work in the kitchen but i have a great passion for tech.
The modification that i maked here and also the tip i gave you come from many years of trials end errors with raspberry pi and also pc!!!

Done.....

I changed a little bit what you said cause otherwise without a specific 16:9 resolution i had a small animation in the up-left corner of the display.

local my_config = fe.get_config();

if ( my_config["set_perspective"] == "4:3" )
{
   fe.layout.preserve_aspect_ratio=true;
   fe.layout.width = 1024;
   fe.layout.height = 768;
}
else
   fe.layout.preserve_aspect_ratio=false;
   fe.layout.width = 1280;
   fe.layout.height = 800;

I also move the bezel in case of 4:3 resolution + bezel and i moved boxart and cartart little bit left side too, otherwise they were covered from the wheel.

I am pretty happy with that....

Hello everyone....

I make some implementation to the Hyperspin theme from Sergio. ( Implementation it seems a little too big for me. Just some copy paste from Yaron's theme. )

In my setup i use to have in every display more than one filter. It could be useful just in case you have a huge romlist. Like in the Arcade one i have Favourites, Most Played, Noclones, Sport, konami, taito.

That's why in my screenshot you can see in the lower part of the display the section Ínfo from Yaron's theme.

I attached also my modded hyperspin.nut to copy in the loader folders.

I also noticed that in 16:9 monitor every HS themes look stretched, i think just cause HS theme are made like that. I don't know if is there a magic function to preserve aspect ratio of the theme itself but this is beyond my knowledge !!!

I'm folllowing.....

I'm already a great fan of both yours themes guys...  I can be a tester for your modification !!! I'm using attract mode in my sistem with Win10, also tried
yesterday to setup the hyperspin theme on a 16:9 screen but it seems all the artwork were display very huge. Just the wheel take almost half of the screen.
I will take a better look later and maybe i will post some screenshot too.  I'm not a programmer but i'm using attract mode since almost the beginnings with
hyperpie and hyperpie pc edition.
