crane_minter Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 There are systems like MAME where there is obviously no box or cartridge artwork available and for those I prefer to have a game theme for the respective games. But, let's say, for a system like the SNES where both are available, do you prefer to have the box/cartridge artwork being shown on Hyperspin, or do you also prefer a game theme, as both cannot be shown at the same time. Personally, I prefer game themes, although a lot of times they are not available for all games and I end up with systems mixing both.
damageinc86 Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I don't like individual game themes, even though they are really cool artwork wise. It's just too jarring of an experience to have stuff changing that much with every game. I just like having a static system theme, with the videos and text the only thing that changes. That's all I need really. Having info on hyperpause would be enough for me. That way if I really wanted to go see the box and cart art and manuals and all that stuff, it's there instead of flying in my face all the time.
Styphelus Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I don't like either because my OCD likes consistency. There are only a limited amount of themes and they are not widescreen so I don't use them because I don't like them streched. I like box art but a lot of it is missing or not even available for certain systems so I don't use that either. My setup looks like this:
damageinc86 Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Nice, yeah I like the cleanness of a system theme like that.
Fromlostdays Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I prefer a moderate amount of theme usage on systems I use a lot like snes. Mostly just for my favorite games, which means my favorite wheel usually flips from theme to theme. For systems I don't use as much, I go theme heavy. Walter:beerglass:
dougan78 Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I prefer box and cart no themes. Except for arcade stuff.
