[dougan78]

Great stuff! Keep them coming!!

[Retro956]

Also, out of curiosity, how does one get that cool little media creator tag on their posts?

I hope to one day be worthy of the "Mark of the Media Creator"!

You keep making stuff and one day it just happens. Someone changes what group your account is in, in the forums. Keep at it!

Hello, once again, and again, and again.

Here is another theme I am working on for 19XX.

 

As usual, if you have any feedback, post here!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Be on the lookout for more!

Very nice! I enjoy the clean layout and that ill-beat.

Sick work

[JackOfOwls]

Nice themes.  Wish I could find a 16:9 MS-DOS system theme that was as nice as these,

[ninja2bceen]

You and James baker must be friends. Good work

[Retro956]

Nice themes.  Wish I could find a 16:9 MS-DOS system theme that was as nice as these,

 

I started to look into ideas on what to do with the ms-dos. 

I basically stared at my monitor for 3 hours haha. 

I have nooooooooooooooo idea what to do with that but, I will see what I i can me up with.

 

I wanted to have some sort of dos boot up intro but the difficult thing is that dos ran in the resolution of like 640x480.

So everything I'm trying to use just looks awful in 1080p.

 

I will keep working on it though!

I might be able to find something to do with it.  Today is a new day!

 

 

 

Also, for everyone else, Today is a day with another round of themes!

I wont be able to do them all today since I'm playing Dungeons and Dragons today but, I will get out some this weekend!

 

Stay Tuned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RETROOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JSinn]

Ahhhh yeah!

Memories of that large round table in the basement.

I hope you make your "saving throws" on the DOS theme.

[Retro956]

HELLLOOOOOOOO AAGGAAINNNNN!

I'm back with a theme for CAPTAIN COMMANDO!

 

As usual, Let me know what you guys think about this one.

This one is a little different due to the music choice and styling.

 

 

I hope you guys enjoy this one as much as I do!

I'm just realizing that after rendering that video, the left video is flickering towards the end. 

I will have to fix this before uploading to the website. 

 

Every once in a while, my videos tend to do this after the rendering process.

That would be awesome!  Right now I'm using a hackneyed MS-DOS system theme assembled, cobbled & stitched together from existing themes I found, and added an oblong element or two of my own, and still looking like an ugly, plain & cut-down Frankenstein monster.  What I personally prefer in my system themes are large video windows, fit for the high quality emu MP4 movies,  with no elements overlapping the video screen itself, but anything you can come up with should be great, I'm sure.  What's a real bummer though is the lack of a lot of wheelart and videos but we just need to give it time.  Tonight I should have the entire eXoDOS 2.0 set downloaded from IA so this is going to be great.  My Hyperspin setup just didn't feel complete without the entire MS-DOS game collection, massive as it is.  Will have to get a new 2-3 TB hard drive now to allow this expansion though. hehe. 

 

ETA: What I'm using now.  Not very pretty, is she?

Yeah I also hate whenever there isn't a consistency throughout the system wheels.  

I usually drop box art and cart art and all of that.  I only have wheel art and videos.

If it doesn't have wheel art, it gets the boot. 

 

My method of going through System themes is how I'm doing it currently.

I usually just do it game to game rather than a whole one overall. 

I haven't looked into system themes too much so I can't really promise anything but, I'll take a look into making those.

[Retro956]

Also, I have another theme for the Capcom Classics wheel!

This one is for Street Fighter Alpha 3!

 

I've been playing a lot of Street Fighter V and digging around into a lot of the lore. 

Recently, I read up on Vega's history and became really interested with the character.

Which is why I decided to do a Vega theme.

 

Decided to have a "slice em dice em" intro which I think turned out pretty cool.

How do you guys think about it?

Whatever you do, just don't say anything negative about Vega.

Wouldn't want to anger him.

 

I hope you guys enjoy this!

[JSinn]

Me like!

Track sounds awesome on my HTPC with surround.

[Retro956]

Hey guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have another awesome theme for ya!

 

This time, I have a theme for JoJo's Venture!

I hope you guys enjoy this one. 

 

Since my last themes didn't have much said about them, I'll re render the captain commando one and upload Street Fighter, Jojo, and Captain Commando soon!

Keep an eye out!

 

RRREEETTTRRROOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Edit: Yeah I liked my own post

AKA High-Five myself

Your themes are getting better and better and I really like them. I can see big improvements compared to your first attempts!

 

Although some people have already requested it. I’d like you to know that I would be very interested in the .mp4 files of your themes as well.

Thanks for the kind words! 

I have been pretty busy lately and haven't been able to make much more or upload stuff but, I will find a way to gather up all of my themes and upload the mp4's as well as the theme.

[Metalzoic]

Really nice work, getting better!

I don't really have any use for individual game themes (unless a normal theme doesn't already exist), but I would love to see you do some Main Menu themes for arcade systems (not interested at all in console systems).

Specifically: Atomiswave, Seibu Kaihatsu, Technos, Laserdisc Classics (for Daphne, but not called Daphne), Pinball Arcade and something along the lines of "Modern Classics" for Steam and PC games without looking like a horrid PC Games game wheel.

 

Those are the only arcade systems/manufacturers I don't already have a Hyperspin Cinematic theme for.

 

Regardless nice job! Oh and like Critical Cid said, definitely need the 1080mp4 to run them. Really that's all anyone needs to run Cinematic style themes. Especially since running them MP4 style gets rid of all the issues SWF style can cause.
