[download] NEVATO theme

[chaney]

@chaney

You can use low-res version that I've uploaded earlier in this thread.
It's basically the same version but with all graphics downsized for low-res screens (or low-mem graphics cards).
Or you can resize it for yourself - everything should auto-magically scale and fit together.

Hi, Verion

Well, made some tests. I still have to play with skew and pinch to get a perfect video fit in the cab, but no problem.
However, there are some strange things with the videos themselves. On the horizontal ones, I do not have the same results depending in the resolution of the video. Please try, I took the videos on this website:
http://www.progettosnaps.net/videosnaps/videosnaps_files.php
With popeye, no problem, it fits perfectly as a video in the cab and as a background.
It I take sf2, the resolution is smaller, and then in the cab, it is stretched, but only horizontaly.
And as a background, it doesn't take all the screen.
Do you know what I could do?

Thanks again

You have 2 options:

1. you can display (scale-to-fit) video on a surface of 640x480px and THEN skew the surface - it will guarantee the same effect regardless of video res.
I skipped that method because surfaces are not working so great in OS X - you can download robospin theme and peak into the code because IIRC omegaman has cab screen coded as surface

2. you can download your videos in 480p from somewhere else - mine are from this YT channel

it's ok to download it - the owner gives us permission to do it "You can download this sample video to add in the frontend"

Well, I need to get better video for my Hyperspin cab, so maybe I will buy the 480p set from emumovies and then use it also for the pi. Thanks, mate, for your hard work. Hurry to see the Blue theme

Read the previous page (half way down),  you need to change your screen resolution in the layout.nut file
 

[verion]

I'll make more permanent fix - but please report resolutions that are causing the trouble.

[Omamez]

yes the last fix mention did fix my issue thank you

[verion]

OK. Great!

Hi Verion,

I finally got a chance to get onto my cabinet and upgrade to 2.0 + add Nevato.

I did it in 2 steps (retaining the robospin theme first) then changed to Nevato. For whatever reason, Nevato doesn't work - It reverts to the 'default theme' with a list of text. This happened when I hadn't copied the Robospin to my 2.0 installation also.

I checked and all of Nevato is there etc. My resolution is 1360x768, it's a Windows 7 machine....

I'm not sure how to go about debugging the issue? I'm sure it's really simply - Any help would be appreciated!

go back page half way I had the same issue you need to change your resolution


Your screen aspect is not supported out of the box, but that's should be easy to fix.

Open layout.nut in text editor.
You can un-comment lines 76 and 77 and edit it to be:

fe.layout.width = 1920;
fe.layout.height = 1200;

save and restart AM

let me know if this helps

suggestion also to this theme it need name of console listed so player know what system he has chosen

[verion]

If I understand you correctly - this feature is already baked-in as marquee option.
For mame - you have arcade marquees (different for every mame game).
For other gaming systems - you have system-specific marquee (the same for every game within particular system)

See preview here - www.onyxarcade.com/marquee

You can choose it in options - and maybe you have to rename system marquees (included) to match your emulator name - snes-marquee.jpg, sega-marquee.jpg, etc.

I uncommented the two lines and changed them to my resolution.

fe.layout.width = 1360;
fe.layout.height = 768;

This doesn't help, it still dropped back to the default screen.

I added fe.layout.preserve_aspect_ratio=true; above the two lines above and it didn't make any difference.

Can anyone suggest what else I may need to do or is there anyway to more intelligently fault find this?

[verion]

Change it to:

fe.layout.width = 1366;
fe.layout.height = 768;

-----

Right now the aspect detection script is too precise - if your resolution is a few pixels off from the common standard it doesn't work.

I'll rewrite it to be more flexible in a near future - but for now you can use a workaround like this.

I can confirm verion method works
