New Unified Megatheme

[guyverjay]

how is 8  bit emulated?

[namdor]

I slapped together an Atari 8-Bit main menu and default theme based on this unified set style, does anyone want them? This system is way too neglected. I wasn't going to upload it because I do not have Flash installed, so I used png files instead of swf, and it's 16:9 only. Pretty plain and basic. Also made a new framed main menu wheel to match.

 

 

Thanks damned. I wish all of these themes had png only options, I personally love the static look and dont have the ability to edit swf files.

Just a few points that stood out to me regarding the Main Menu themes on page one.

Coleco Vision - That penguin is from the madagascar movies. It doesn't make much sense on a console that pre-dates the films by a couple decades.
Neo Geo CD - Terry's art here is the ONLY one that wasn't a 3D model. Just seemed poor compared to the high quality of the rest.
Sega CD - You have modern sonic being chased by Metal Sonic... It just didn't make any sense to me.
TurboGrafx 16 - The guy from Splatterhouse seems like an odd choice to represent the TG16... I think Bonk would be a better choice.

Other than those criticisms, it looks AMAZING. Good work.

The last set of PSD files that was released had different characters for each system. It's just that no one bothered to make 3 or 4 different themes for each system but you can also do that if you want or replace whichever characters you want. I can upload those PSD files somewhere if you are interested. You just have to convert them to themes.

 

If you decide to change the artwork with your own, you will find that it's not easy to find good artwork for old systems.

It looks like Circo (I think) only uploaded the modified 4:3 versions of these themes to FTP, ugh. Hopefully nothing was lost from old FTP. I think most of these themes ended up in the downloads section which is a complete mess to navigate.

EDIT: Nevermind, looks like they're still on FTP just hard to find.

Thanks. I ended up finding them just before you posted this by doing a wildcard search on the ftp. A major pain.

Animated NES HD theme added to /Release Ready/.. enjoy!

 

Where can I find all these HD 16:9 themes? Do they still exist somewhere. Would love to have 16:9 HD main menu and system themes. These look amazing!

[sreisig1]

Sorry for the lack of updates everyone. I had to dedicate the weekend to other responsibilities, so I couldn't get around to minting the main menu themes. Good news is, all of gibbawho's initial ~40 theme designs should be complete in a 16:9 non-animated format!

The first revisions were completed about a week ago, but I've gone back and updated all of them at this point. Changes include better resolution, new video border, and adjusted artwork animations. I've uploaded the better resolution versions to both mine and Styphelus' folder as usual. However, the other changes were only uploaded to my folder, in case some prefer the previous borders/animation over these ones.

For the video border, unfortunately I couldn't use gibbawho's latest design. I tried, but without being in the animated flash HD format the border just wasn't detailed enough to look right. Instead I used his previous version which was showcased in his prototype Genesis theme. The artwork animation changes are also based off of the original Genesis theme. Here are some examples of the new border in a variety of themes. Of course you'll have to load the themes up in Hyperspin to see the other changes.

And all these?

[Styphelus]

I have them, but I don't have a complete package with all of them together.  Could take a while to put them together for you. 

[sreisig1]

No worries, I'm not in any rush. If it means I can have them then Ill wait if you're willing to do that for me. All these main menu themes are awesome. Do you have the system themes too?

[Styphelus]

OK. By the way, mine don't have animated backgrounds. Those were only made for a few systems. I like consistency so I kept the static backgrounds across all my systems.

[sreisig1]

Ill take what I can get, Thanks! If someone else has the animated versions that would be cool too so I can try them both out.

[sreisig1]

Cool, thanks for the link

[Rotgut]

First time I'm seeing these... really great work!  Hats off to you!

Right on thanks

[Bremus01]

Anyone know which forum had the explanation on how to animate the background I want to do a couple more but it's been so long I kind of forget how.

[ci2own]

I love all this themes! It matches 100% with the Unified Bezels Project.

 

What is the actual status of this set? Is it based on HyperSpin Official Systems? Which are missing?

 

[KlopjerO]

Official status is: clinically dead, on life support.

let my re-phrase that, as to not dishearten you. I personally am not actively developing for this. @gibbawho is MIA, and it could be that someone out there, is still working on these covertly.

It would be great to have the complete set.  We already have almost all HyperSpin Framed Main Menu Wheels, and now the Unified Bezels Set i'm doing. 

This system themes matches 100%.

Hope someone is still working on this. I love it!

Sorry man but I don't think anyone is working on these themes anymore. I moved on to Launchbox and Klopjero is no longer working on them either as per his post above. Gibawho disappeared a long time ago as well.

Fell free to pick up the torch and create whatever is missing. If you want the PSD files for the Unified themes let me know.

@ci2own

there is a thread in the art forum from knewlife (I think) which all he could find of these in 16x9

knewlife has also moved to LB mainly I believe.

i know @dougan78 did I really big portion of converting/adding to these for RetroFE 

if he doesn't mind I can share his psd's as I tried but failed to edit stuff with PS.
