Pandoras Box Theme

[Omamez]

Working on a pos Android phone, so I will edit as I go as to not loose what I type.

Code: [Select]

function Title(index_offset) {

}

local listbox = fe.add_listbox( x, y, w, H );
listbox.format_string = "[!Title(index_offset)]";


Good news. Fixed all issue. I will release new version soon. Thank you.

thats fantastic do we also get the pandora 3 video intro lol 

how does this work with other consoles

This is very nice.

The word PAGE for each game at the top right doesn't match my understanding of the meaning, so I might change it to ITEM or GAME or something like that.

Thanks for sharing your work!

Remove the rom number because is duplicated info and keep the page.

Next target function 


I  created 2 rom list files of same console. One is English for game's name, another is Japanese for game's name.

May I select different "romlists" file by configure option?

class UserConfig {
</ label="Language", help="Select display language", options="English,Japanese", order=1 /> language="English";   
 }

if language="English"
 English file location

else
 Japanese file location



Anyone can help me complete the script. Thanks.

Haha, the layout template is coming from Pandoras Box. As you know, Pandoras Box is made by Chinese. Their English should be not good enough

I think they are actually right because it's [page/pages] and in AM it's [item/items]

 - `[ListSize]` - the number of items in the game list
 - `[ListEntry]` - the number of the current selection in the game list

You know the Chinese are not going to be happy with you stealing their ideas.

Haha, I come from Hong Kong. Chinese from China always steal another idea.  So don't worry

I've wanted to make PANDORA layout too. I really like it for it's simplicity and that sci-fi look.

I've dropped the idea because using Pandora's intellectual property (that screen background) would prevent such theme to be distributed with AM.
But before I've gave up... I've prepared 2 backgrounds with that top text and icons masked out (in attachment) so you can replace that PAGE and TIME with something else.

I would also skip that numbering in front of game name... it seems unnecessary and that space can be better used to display longer game names

[omegaman]

I know, I was being ironic.

Hi version

Wow!. Thank you for your image. It is great for us. Your art skill is better more.

I also respect intellectual property so please keep this theme using in non business use.

How do you guys like using the fe.layout.preserve_aspect_ratio? I assume you need to turn off aspect_ratio for it to scale to different resolutions. I'm curious if there's an advantage to using it compared to the way I auto-scale my layouts. It would be less coding for sure.

Just wanted to get some feedback on any scaling issues. Thanks...

I also think it for long time. Auto-scale is the best idea in Technical level. But in ART design level, it is difficult to use single theme on both CRT & WideScreen resolution
