About This File
My 4:3 Nintendo Entertainment System Default theme.
It's fairly simple and clean, I opted to not include cart art as I feel it just makes it cluttered since the art is the same than what is on the box anyway.
I've also implemented a little trick I discovered which takes a little bit of extra work if you would like to use this theme, but I feel the result is worth it.
I've redone the wheel art for this theme as to make it line up with the TV and also rotated it to appear as though the wheel art is on the television itself, I feel it's a really nice effect. It's not going to be for everyone though, you lose the ability to see the whole wheel at a glance. It's not hard to lose where you are or anything though, and not any harder to browse the wheel IMO. The images aren't really going to do it justice, but basically you flick through the wheel as you would normally and it will fade out as normal to the static tv effect, the box art will fade in and then the video will start.
If you would rather use this theme with the wheel as usual though, you can set your wheel in hyperhq to scroll vertically on the left. You may just need to adjust the position of your game text further to the right.
To use the wheel images,
1. copy the supplied wheel images into the 'Media/Nintendo Entertainment System/Images/Wheel' folder.
2. Open the 'Nintendo Entertainment System.ini' in the 'hyperspin/settings' folder and make these edits.
