Beaps Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I think ur nuts sorry As espo said move on brova! RELAX and just have fun!! Remember, it's all about the games.
espontaneo Posted February 28, 2009 Author Posted February 28, 2009 Ok darkmindz you started this 2 days ago according to this thread and you are gonna do 3 a day... I'm curious to see the 6+ or so you should have done by now where are the examples....I've only seen the monkey island 2 one and well.....*bites tongue*
Beaps Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Should work on missing MAME themes if u ask me.... RELAX and just have fun!! Remember, it's all about the games.
espontaneo Posted February 28, 2009 Author Posted February 28, 2009 If people wanna help, I don't mind, of course. The xml is different because if I used it it would actually make my life harder. If anybody wants to make wheels for a particular game, now that would be useful....much more useful than trying to make themes. Let me know, post them here, whatever. What do you say you crazed theme obsessives, collaborate and finish the set as is?
fifou Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Espontaneo : what is the source you use to have the entire list of games that were "whdloaded" please ? Maybe I could help starting from the end of the list ? Do you redraw every logo to have a better quality ? do you vectorize them systematically ? what are your favo tools ?
mr_tap Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 espontaneo - what emulator do you recommend? and I take it that the No-Intro rom set for amiga is the one to go for? (want to check as it's like 12gb). offtopic, but when the next version of HS is released will the new emulators and their related themes be added? I'm thinking Saturn, naomi, amiga etc. (i'm new here and still working out how the releasing works). thanks in advance.
espontaneo Posted March 4, 2009 Author Posted March 4, 2009 Look at my other forum posts on the Amiga to see what set you need and where to get it..... http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1437 If you follow headkazes' link on that page it leads you to the KGwhdload set http://kgwhd.whdownload.com/ and winuaelaoder which is what this set is based on using. (no disk swapping, loading times, cracktros, emulated mouse via joystick etc) Fifou, no I don't recreate all the logos just when necessary (though there are some I have done that need that work.) but when I do, I use Photoshop 7 or CS4, Illustrator CS4, Flash, vector magic (for auto vectorizing). I've only just learned how to use illustrator so I will be going back and redoing some of the wheels with that.... Are you think of helping out with the wheels and box art set that would be great.....I'm not working through the list from start to end, so don't worry about that. There are over 2000 in the set so there are plenty to go round. If you make some just post them in a new thread, or just post a list of games you will do wheels for (say about 20 for now). I really hope we can work together and get a set finished. Myself I'm a bit sick on endless wheels atm but will get back to them soon after some silly side projects.
mr_tap Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Thanks. haha, i'll forget the no-intro zips then if i can just download the whole amiga collection from that site. Really appreciate the work on this espontaneo, amiga was my first computer as a kid, I used to go to my uncles once a month and collect a shoebox of games, i'd get back and half wouldn't work but it was still great. I remember having friends at the time with consoles and only a few games and I had loads of amiga ones. Amiga forever now If theres a vote for theme most popular games to get their themes first, i'll add my faves: moonstone the new zealand story turrican 2 zenon II (i seem to remember the music being amazing) the chaos engine syndicate speedball 2 pinball fantasies sensible soccer jimmy white's worldwind snooker www.lemonamiga.com/games/votes_list.php << nice little list and if you click the links you get a little demo flash video (might be able to steal them for HS )
espontaneo Posted March 4, 2009 Author Posted March 4, 2009 I have most of those games (including xenon 2 ) on the wheel, box and video set, you will find released the ftps for here and emumovies.... <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCmVhLg_uCE&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCmVhLg_uCE&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> This video is a bit out of date but you get the idea... I will add once again that themes for all games on all systems are unlikely......
mr_tap Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 nice Amiga has too many games and most were terrible so just the main ones 1st.
mr_tap Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Commodore Amiga - Games - WHDLoad (KGWHD-v2008-08-13) i ran that dat and it wants to delete all roms as they have .info file.
fifou Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Zombi_v1.1_Fr : done from the title screenshot because the logo form the box is "horrible" ; think it's better ... don't know if it's good enough to figure in the wheel collection .......
espontaneo Posted March 6, 2009 Author Posted March 6, 2009 They look good, nice and clean. Don't worry about starting from Z just do the games you want to do You don't have to post them all here, but you could keep a list...I don't know about french language games either, they should not be in the main set, we should have an alternate set for them. I'll pm you my email so you can send me them. Also, are you just doing the cleaned boxes for the wheels you are doing?
Beaps Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 can I stick my request in.... BattleChess_v1.0_0263 BattleSquadron_v1.5_0941 BuggyBoy_v1.2_0465 CarrierCommand_v Cybernoid_v1.0_10881.3_0813 DizzyCollection_v1.2 (not really worst game on the planet!) DragonsLair_v1.2a_1360 Exolon_v1.2_0015 Garrison_v1.0_0800 GeeBeeAirRally_v1.1 GreatGianaSisters_v1.3_2500 (one of the best Amiga games in my opinion) Harlequin_v1.2_2029 JamesPond2_v1.2_1352 JamesPond3_v1.0_AGA_0688 JimmyWhitesWhirlwindSnooker_v2.0_2466 JimPower_v1.1_0068 Katakis_v1.2_2Disk_0347 LastNinja2_v1.1_0131 LastNinja3_v2.0_0495 Menace_v1.2_0823 Nebulus_v1.3_0361 NinjaRemix_v1.3 Platoon_v1.1_1483 SecondSamurai_v1.1_AGA_1624 SideWinder_v1.0 SpindizzyWorlds_v1.1_1179 Starglider_v1.0_0174 StarRay_v3.0_2Disk ThreeStooges_v1.0_0740 Zynaps_v1.0_0879 I guess espo will have these covered in a later release? RELAX and just have fun!! Remember, it's all about the games.
fifou Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Could you send me an example of cleaned box you made to see what result I have to reach because some boxscans I found aren't really good quality ; I'll send you the fisrts wheel I made monday as thay are at office ooops my mail : [email protected]
mr_tap Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 enjoying this whload business. Looking forward to the release espo. espo - i added your amiga main theme, created an xml, added the paths and extensions etc in hq but I can't 'enter' amiga in hs, do I need a default theme or something? In my winuae loader, about 10-15 games aren't displayed (of which include: speedball 2 and turrican 2 don't show), but they're there are confirmed as being there by checking the path with a dat,
espontaneo Posted March 7, 2009 Author Posted March 7, 2009 Ok if your list doesn't come up there is something wrong with the xml (it's probably named incorrectly or you would just have a black screen). Secondly I have never used the kgwhdload dat and think that it may be more up to date than winuaeloader. If you just download the games from kgwhdload, they work, the dat may be renaming them so that winuaeloader doesn't recognise them because it's database is old.... I have added a couple of games (xenon2 and speedball2) to the whdload.xml....which has also been significantly tweaked to improve performance (see my other posts on amiga). Pm me for more info... Fifou all the box art is up on the ftp but I can email you it if you want.
fifou Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Espontaneo : what is the recommended size of boxscans to fit in your default theme for Amiga ? (I've tried it yesterday : one word : PERFECT !) I'll send you a first mini pack with the 4 I created (wheel + boxes) Then : I've made a list of whdloaded games I kept and I'll continue making wheels/boxes for these then complete with the ones missing.
espontaneo Posted March 9, 2009 Author Posted March 9, 2009 All boxscans should be 400 pixels wide....
