Pyramid_Head Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Hey guys! I've been experiments making my own bootscreens for my Mame cabinet and figured I'd like to share them with you. So far I've made this with the Earthworm Jim jump rope animation I found (I'm a big Earthworm Jim fan especially the cartoon) anyway I can probably take requests though I'm very new at this and just started messing around it last night. I'm using Photoshop and the awesome Jasc's Animation Shop. http://www.mediafire.com/?t9fx34fmef9ywr9 [ATTACH=CONFIG]19020[/ATTACH] http://www.mediafire.com/?p32mj3hc8z3tbqp [ATTACH=CONFIG]19021[/ATTACH] http://www.mediafire.com/?upttma3jbkb126y [ATTACH=CONFIG]19027[/ATTACH] http://www.mediafire.com/?zw621zpbtaq4dlg Note I found the background image via Google images. I'm not sure who originally made it. But credit goes to whom ever. If that's not allowed here I'll be more than happy to change the background. Hope you guys like it! *edit* I've added the ones I've created so far to this post. I'll be adding future ones as well to this post thanks!
zerojay Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Would be nice to replace the MAME logo with a Hyperspin logo.
Pyramid_Head Posted August 2, 2012 Author Posted August 2, 2012 Here ya go buddy! Let me know what you think. I personally like this one better than the first. All these will not be related to Earthworm Jim. Also sorry about the logo it was the only one I could find that was decent quality. http://www.mediafire.com/?p32mj3hc8z3tbqp Once I make some new one's I'll be adding them to first post. Also don't hesitate to make/share your own. I'm sure they'd be better than mine
Pyramid_Head Posted August 2, 2012 Author Posted August 2, 2012 Here's another one I just did. It's kind of silly but funny. http://www.mediafire.com/?upttma3jbkb126y
Pyramid_Head Posted August 2, 2012 Author Posted August 2, 2012 Sure have anything in mind? There are a few Mk gifs here http://us.bestgraph.com/gifs/m_kombat-1.html
Pyramid_Head Posted August 2, 2012 Author Posted August 2, 2012 Ok, I experimented with an MK one it's not the best but it's pretty decent. Here is a screenshot of it. Note the spinning dragon appears to be low quality that's because I had to re-size the image but it doesn't look too bad in action.
relic Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 these are great can you make one with various oldschool arcade charecters 100%
johnodon Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 These are the best ones I've seen to date! Thanks Hunk! John "There are some who call me.......Tim."
Pyramid_Head Posted August 2, 2012 Author Posted August 2, 2012 these are great can you make one with various oldschool arcade charecters Hmm I'll see what I can come up with. Though sadly it seems we can only have one animated picture. But I can add a few classic characters to the background and have at least one animated! These are the best ones I've seen to date! Thanks Hunk!John Thanks John! I couldn't really find any Arcade/Mame related boot screens, at least any good ones. So I thought I'd take this on.
Pyramid_Head Posted August 2, 2012 Author Posted August 2, 2012 Ok, I created one using the best classic characters I could find atm. At least good quality ones. I used a Pong gif I found. Though I don't think the animation turned out like I was hoping but it's decent. I'm going to do a couple more with this background I created. Suggestions are always welcome as I am a total n00b http://www.mediafire.com/?zw621zpbtaq4dlg
Trnzaddict Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 These are pretty cool Hunk thankyou! I am......Machine
Pyramid_Head Posted August 3, 2012 Author Posted August 3, 2012 No problem! Glad to contribute something cool and useful
relic Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 very nice on the old school theme hunk keep up the terrific work although you could make a border of chars around it just an option it would look like an arcade screen border then 100%
ebarlow99 Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 looks great!!!! could you do one for Hyperpin crowd? thanks!!! http://www.bartop-arcades.com
Pyramid_Head Posted August 3, 2012 Author Posted August 3, 2012 very nice on the old school theme hunk keep up the terrific work although you could make a border of chars around it just an option it would look like an arcade screen border then Hmm by border do you mean a bezel like this? looks great!!!! could you do one for Hyperpin crowd? thanks!!!Sure man I wouldn't mind. Don't most users of Hyperpin use a vertically placed monitor? If so I'm not sure how to flip the image unless I flipped the background then find some sort of animated gif. I'll see what I can come up with.
relic Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 thats correct thx again and awesome good luck mate if you need help to find stuff to add to it count me in 100%
ebarlow99 Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 im cool with it not being the right way! http://www.bartop-arcades.com
Pyramid_Head Posted August 3, 2012 Author Posted August 3, 2012 thats correct thx again and awesome good luck mate if you need help to find stuff to add to it count me in Sweet I could always use help finding some images especially animated gifs! The best gifs imo are the ones without a background if that makes sense? Unless it's a black ground that'll work since I mostly use black backgrounds. im cool with it not being the right way! Awesome! I'll see what I can do
Pyramid_Head Posted August 3, 2012 Author Posted August 3, 2012 How is this for Hyperpin? I'm sure I can do better this is just an example I hope you like it! http://www.mediafire.com/?qhbh0dd5w7hhaua
Drakin Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 These are Awesome...Keep up the good work. 1. Make sure your leds are pointing at the gun. 2. Make sure your aimtrak pcb eye can see your leds and clear the upper lip of the gun barrel. Then you just shoot each arrow when it stops in the left corner right corner and center bottom. 3. If it does not register still try standing closer/further 4. Still no go make sure your lighting around you is not too bright 5. Also some may need to be manually calibrated through the F2 service menu.
Pyramid_Head Posted August 3, 2012 Author Posted August 3, 2012 Thanks Darkin! I'm really glad you guys are liking these I was afraid they'd turn out crappy. But it seems you can only do so much with this app I did another one for Hyperpin. This time I did one for vertically mounted monitors. It's not too bad imo. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?2od4asrs8zktv9o I hope uploading these images here isn't taking up a whole a lot of space.
NIVO Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Hunk these are way cool. Thx buddy! moderator B.Y.O.A.C. http://www.arcadecontrols.com
Pyramid_Head Posted August 5, 2012 Author Posted August 5, 2012 Thanks man! Glad you liked them More will be made. I'm hoping others could share theirs. But that's ok.
Ultimate Omega Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Good bootskins Hunk How can I use it?. if it´s possible, could you make one of Megaman X or megaman Zero Saga?. One with the modern look of Megaman X8 will be fine.
