HyperSpin SpecialArt Organiser 1.05 Released

 

Ok, so I've finally completed the testing of this program and releasing it to the community.

 

 

 

So what is it and why do I need it?

 

 

 

Special Art is already pre-built into HyperSpin. You see it as the animated joysticks and Free Play images.

 

 

 

After speaking to several friends on here I got the idea that as the artwork was SWF files I could remove the original stuff and create new stuff and take it to a whole new level.

 

 

 

What I did is create artwork for Special Art A which ended up being like the frame.

 

I created Special Art B which ended up being animated buttons on a per controller basis...eg Xbox360 or Playstation.

 

 

 

The Special Art C was Gener art and this now changes depending on the genre and is displayed in the upper right location.

 

 

 

All of this artwork is like a large overlay on top of your normal HyperSpin experience.

 

 

 

Once I had done this I realised that to implement it into your system was a copy and paste nightmare as the SpecialArt folder is required on a per system basis.

 

 

 

I basically created a program that after you select the Theme you want across your system it does all the hard work for you.

 

 

 

I have included 5 themes but more are coming and are very easy to install.

 

 

 

I created the program in such a way that everything you do up and until the final "Copy to Real HyperSpin" does not affect your build whatsoever. You can therefore test without error.

 

I have included lots of help screens to get you along to the completion without error.

 

 

 

I have had assistance from GigaPig in testing it out and I believe everything works as planned. I have used it many times on my own real setup. (Thanks for you time!)

 

 

 

Any questions, just ask.

 

 

 

There are new systems added and posted on the Topic post.
UPDATE 1 out 22/07/16

 

NEW Version 1.08 released. Much more flexible and powerful see changlog

great thing. is it possible to work with it without getting all the media system folders I never had in my hyper spin setup? for example, I never had AAE as System but when I start this tool I get this folder, but other system media folders doesn't get this special arts....

I've not worked on this for a good while so I can't fully remember ?

Hello potts43

I really like what you've done here. I've added this to my setup but I think the SWF's are 4:3 ratio. Do you have 16:9 ?

Thanks in advance
