phulshof Posted September 27, 2016 Author Posted September 27, 2016 It's 0.7.17; I just uploaded 0.7.18 to bit bucket today, and I haven't received a Windows executable yet. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk 0.7.17 it is then. I just used your favorites playlist. Awesome. How are you gonna update the mame sets? Also in update packs? Just curious because you are making me have an exciting week!
phulshof Posted September 27, 2016 Author Posted September 27, 2016 The MAME set should be updated somewhere in the next two weeks as the new MAME extras and videos come out. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

phulshof Posted September 27, 2016 Author Posted September 27, 2016 I leave the repacking up to Circo; I just upload the changes. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
phulshof Posted January 12, 2017 Author Posted January 12, 2017 RetroFE has moved to http://www.retrofe.nl, and is currently fully under my control. In time, http://www.retrofe.com should also point to this same website. I realize it's not the best of web sites, but creating one has never been my strong suit, and I'm open to help on the matter. In the mean time 0.7.19 is available from the download section of the new website, and 0.7.20 is being worked on, with MacOS support available as well. There's also several people working on new themes.
phulshof Posted February 10, 2017 Author Posted February 10, 2017 We're at 0.7.21 by now, and MacOS support is working as well. I've uploaded a new modular RetroFE setup to the EmuMovies Upload section that people can play with.
phulshof Posted April 18, 2017 Author Posted April 18, 2017 Circo has given me write access to the Official section at the EmuMovies FTP, so you can get a rather nice modular setup with my latest files from /Official/Retro FE Media Pack
phulshof Posted May 25, 2017 Author Posted May 25, 2017 Updated the RetroFE base.zip to the latest (0.8.6) release on EmuMovies. This also contains an update of the Aeon Nox theme to make use of some of the new features. Of course this version is also available in the download section of the RetroFE website.

Awesome work phulshof!
phulshof Posted May 29, 2017 Author Posted May 29, 2017 Looks like igarikoitz is making progress on his theme as well. Lots of work involved though.
phulshof Posted May 29, 2017 Author Posted May 29, 2017 It's standard RetroFE functionality, but the filters are applied offline. I haven't found the CPU power yet to do that on the fly. As such, there's quite a bit of work involved in getting all the art converted and ready. He's currently just converted a minimum of art for the games he wants displayed.Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

(i.e. alphabet line at the bottom, game year, players, genre, description, resolution etc.). Or is something that can be configured as text/XML (like values)?
phulshof Posted May 29, 2017 Author Posted May 29, 2017 He hasn't released his WIP yet, so I'll take an educated guess, and say that the background and box art are individual images, and the rest are images and text based on the xml and story txt files. The music is most likely an invisible video playing. The screenshots are probably separate images linked to the rom names.Basically RetroFE can display as many images/text as your computer can handle over 20 different layers.The boxart (image per game) and letters (26 images based on first letter) are two different scrolling menus, and the animation to game info display is probably an animation on idle of the scrolling menus.I can give more details if he releases his WIP layout file.

thatman84 Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 Nice, don't think that's in the promo video or is it. I will need to check again Official Hyperspin Tutorials Playlist HS Android Overview & Install HS Android Base Pack Download My Tutorials

Will be waiting for that theme to know how everything works. Cheers!

Cheers!Layer in RetroFE is just the depth plane. How many images you display per layer is up to you. Might just take a bit of work collecting all that art though. [emoji3]

phulshof Posted July 18, 2017 Author Posted July 18, 2017 Added the RetroFE base 0.8.13.zip to provide the latest (0.8.13) release on EmuMovies. This also contains an update of the Aeon Nox theme to make use of new feature, and make it feel a bit snappier. Of course this version is also available in the download section of the RetroFE website.
