16:9 logo only bezels for NEC PC Engine and Mattel Intellivision in _HyperLaunch Media/Bezels/Submissions Open/Knewlife

Also rfancella, if you can, please check those Fade Screens in _HyperLaunch Media/fade/Submissions Open/Knewlife folder, they have been there for some time:

Looks like my ALG fade layer 1's are still sat in open submissions

So as punishment I've added more to /Upload Here/_HyperLaunch Media/Fade/Submissions Open/gigapig for the following systems.

Commodore Amiga

Mame

Pinball FX2

Sega Saturn

And _Default with a bunch of fade out screens (Game Over)

Here's a few examples.

Ok, so I guess we shall use the same example as for the bezels in respect to naming. Unless someone has an objection.

Here is an explanation of the layers:

Layer 1.png (This would show as the background image)

Layer 2.png (This is a static image, and can be placed anywhere around the screen)

Layer 3.png (This is a dynamic image of which can have an animation applied to it)

Layer 4 (#).png (This is a set of images, when played, create an animation. One image = 1 frame. Frame 1 = "Layer 4 (1).png", frame 2 = "Layer 4 (2).png", and so on.)

Layer -1.png (This would show as the background image during Fade_Out)

So the naming convention will be (except Layer 4):

"Layer {Layer #} -[ {Aspect Ratio}][{ Unique Description}] ({User}).png"

Also, the aspect ratio for Layer 2, Layer 3 & Layer 4 may not apply.

Amended:

For all Layer 4 art:

"Layer {Layer #}[ ({Animation #})] -[ {Aspect Ratio}][{ Unique Description}] ({User}).png"

Note:

Please note the spaces.

Braces without brackets are a required field.

Brackets and everything in them are optional.

Examples:

Layer -1 - 4x3 AAE (YourName).png

Layer 1 - 16x10 asteroid (Someone).png

Layer 4 (1) - NES (ScreenName).png

Layer 4 (2) - NES (ScreenName).png

Layer 4 (3) - NES (ScreenName).png

Looking for some input from all of you.

Thanks,

Ron

I remember reading something about a sequence number for some of the layer images. Can anyone shed some light on these?

Layer 4 could have a additional term in parenthesis to define the sequence of the animation showed. So only for this layer the name convention should be something like this:

"Layer {Layer #} ({Animation #}) - {Aspect Ratio}[{ Unique Description}] ({User}).png"

You have that info on this site:

https://sites.google.com/site/hyperlaunch2/home/features/fade

Layer 4 (#).png (This is a set of images, when played, create an animation. One image = 1 frame. Frame 1 = "Layer 4 (1).png", frame 2 = "Layer 4 (2).png", and so on.)

I am perfectly fine with this naming convention for fade layers. It should work without problems, but if you spot any limitation let me know and I will see in what I could help.

By the way, one important thing.

Thank You Very Much for everybody that posts arts for bezels and fade screens!!!!! Giga, I loved the donkey kong fade exit screen. Grizz it is amazing the amount of stuff that you shared with us in such small time. Knewlife, it is nice that you joined the bezel party. And thks also to other users that shared their creations with us.

Also a special thanks for you again rfancella. Organizing this stuff is not an easy task, and most of the time is not given the deserved credit. Thank you for making yourself responsible for that and doing such a nice job!

Amended the post above to reflect the naming convention for Layer 3.

Thank you Bleasby for the reply. I will get on that fade art right away.

I will probably start another thread for Fade Media.

Thanks,

It takes little skill to do what I do.

We are all cogs in the machine.

Your skills Ron, however small you think they are, have been invaluable to me, and I'd still be plodding along with the Mame Bezel Project, if it weren't for your good self.

Thank you Gig, you are too kind.

[Grizz]

Gig nailed it!

Only thing i can add....

Narrator: "Who is this super hero? Sarge? No? Rosemary the phone operator? No. rfancella, the mild-mannered hyperlaunch genius!"

Rfancella: "Could be!"

Thank you brother Ron!

Thanks,

Ron

[gigapig]

Ron, I'm happy to do it, unless you know a quick codie way of doing it of course.

Thank you.

[rfancella]

LOL.. I wish there was. Have to figure out what the aspect for each is. One by one.

Hope to get it done today some time. About half way through it now.

Thanks,

Ron

Hi all you HyperSpinners!

Here is a set of bezels by Grizz in the character style. He already released a couple like this, but these are a little different and in all three aspect ratios!

They are located at: /Upload Here/_HyperLaunch Media/Bezels/Submissions Final/Sega Genesis

Here are the screen shots:

4x3

16x9

16x10

Thanks Grizz for your submission!!

Thanks,

Ron

[rfancella]

Gig,

I converted your 16x9 Game Over (Layer -1) images to 16x10 and uploaded them.

Worth a look for all you that are tired of the default Game Over screen.

Thank you for your contribution Gig!!!

Thanks,

Ron

i have some great news thanks to grizz and rfans support we now have a 16x9 16x10 and 4.3 bezel for game gear - the problem is cause everyone has a diffrent type of screen in size and length even if its just a standard or wide you still need to make adjustments to them which im gonna learn right now so i can help out with 4.3

heres my test result for the 4.3 nes bezel with retro arch the screen is fixed now on mine -

[Grizz]

if u use my personal custom.zip for AAE, you will have a pretty cool looking..almost bezel-less version of a few games,

tempest...quantum..etc..

these are mockups just to show how they look!

if u like it..let me know

i can have ron put on ftp..

i will be redoing the aae bezels for hyper launch.

just going to use the great artwork that is already out there..

will just be doing them for all 3 aspects and so that hyper launch uses them instead of using the built in feature in aae :]

snapshot of space duel bezel below also :}

check the pics

[jcm9800]

really cool grizz
