[download] NEVATO theme

[verion]

I'm glad that you like it. That's the beauty of AM that you can tailor every theme to be exactly like you want it to be.

I will make a pack with my fanarts to be used with Nevato (still working on it), then I post here on the forum for those interested.

the reverse is that it is hard to code

Would it be possible to use the arcade room bg with generic poster and load the flyer for that game in the poster location? by altering the layout.nut?

Yeah, sure..

But IDN how to do the code.. I'm a code newbie!

I managed to discover how the code works, and I've edited the Nevato theme to add (via theme options), my Arcade Room theme.

For those interested, just unzip the file into nevato folder, join attract mode -> select theme -> nevato -> go to screen options ->  choose "ArcadeRoom".

Now the banner is dynamic, and is located behind a mask with reflection, shadows and lighting to give more realism!



ps: after downloading the flyers, just do a batch files in adobe photoshop or other program, to resize to 495 W x 635 H, to fill better this theme.

I hope you enjoy!

Is it possible to make this theme nested so there is a a main menu wheel where you pick the system, then it goes to the system wheel?

Wow that makes this theme look even better, awesome work. What are some good sources for the MAME banners, posters, flyers, etc?

Completely new to the forum discussions so please forgive my potentially ignorant question but, where may I download this updated new version of this NEVATO theme.

It is awesome.

I would like to combine this with the OlRoom themes for the consoles in my setup.

Ah I think I just found the link..
My old eyes scanned right over it up there about 5 posts ago.

Hi, I am a noob.  Thanks Verion for great work!!!  How do I set this theme to change background just for each emulator?  I want to put the picture of the console on the background.

[verion]

Hmmm... you can't do that currently - without changing the code. But it's a very good idea to implement.
I'm planning to add game list as an alternative to wheel graphics in next version - so I can add that feature also.

...just have to find some time to do that (sigh)

Thanks! My friend!

Ok.  I play around the code a little bit and it seems to be a pretty easy to do.
Just change the code line for background from:

local bg = fe.add_image( "background_blue.png", 0, 0, flw, flh );

to

local bg = fe.add_image("[Emulator]" + "-background_blue.png", 0, 0, flw, flh );

and then make the background to each emulator according to the name.  It will works perfectly.

Great!
But I'm affraid that the hardest part is to make good backgrounds for emulators.
