gibbawho Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 I've been working on this one for over a month all told. Went through a few iterations. Its a full custom theme for Wii. It has a complex animation of Samus from the Metroid series (as some of you may have seen in one of my earlier posts) I also made a custom video transition and a custom pointer. Its all ready for your consumption and can be found on the FTP in my folder. Enjoy ... and as always, leave feedback! Screenshots:

gibbawho Posted December 10, 2012 Author Posted December 10, 2012 btw: anyone have a decent Wii system intro video? The one I have is low quality. I could always make my own but I just figured I'd ask first.
Avar Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 I can toss one together on vegas pro with some of the emumovies vids if you'd like but I haven't seen the quality of them yet.
lukiido Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 Avar that would be cool I am trying to learn how to do all this you guys are amazing!
baddeolv Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 why is the box art so tiny? thats my only complaint Instagram : baddeolv Facebook : Brian Addeo
gibbawho Posted December 12, 2012 Author Posted December 12, 2012 that box/cd art was from an outside source. I'm going to update it once we have better internal sets.
Avar Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Wii softmod frontends have pretty large cover databases but they're all mad tiny like that. http://www.gametdb.com/Wii/Downloads
dahakadaevas Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 im sure you've probably found a good one by now, but heres a nice video to use for an intro vid that i liked..
DrMaxwell Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 If you look in my Nintendo Wii folder on FTP I have about 220 high quality disc and cover images for the theme I'm running. I have also uploaded WiiBackupManager_Build78 for you guys to source covers automatically. It scrapes information about your game and downloads everything in a similar fashion to XBMC or HyperSync, let me know if this helps.

Titanusss Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Hi guys. Did you ever get to config gamepad profile automaticly? I mean, there are some games that must be played using nunchuk or sideways wiimote. Is there a way to recognise each game and change the pad profile through the module? Thanks
THK Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 I have to say, as far as I can recall, all Wii themes I've come across are better than this one. Still thanks, don't be discouraged more themes to choose from is better. ..........................back with a vengeance........................

Make sure you're using HL 2.xx though. Read the xpadder section in http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?10709-HyperLaunch-2-x-Released

Is it just to get a reaction? Well there ya go. You got your reaction.

Well there ya go. You got your reaction. Even though he didn't use the most grace with his comments, THK is a senior theme creator, and there is truth in what he said. Constructive criticism IS indeed worth hearing. You have some definite composition issues that need to be addressed in this one. The way it is now, even though the art is really cool, the theme is kinda chaotic and doesn't really make sense. Instagram : baddeolv Facebook : Brian Addeo

This is what constructive criticism looks like... and yes, it is worth hearing. What THK said, however, is not. His "seniority" doesn't change that.

His "seniority" doesn't change that. I understand your frustration, but one thing you should know about him is he is absolutely genuine, doesn't pussyfoot around, and rips everyone equally. Believe it or not, he has criticized my work worse in the past, it pissed me off too, but I got to know the guy and realized he is a really cool dude, just has a harsh sense of humor. Take anything derogatory directed towards the theme, and strive to make him shut his mouth. Honestly, that's what he's looking for. Think of him as a marine drill Sargent, preparing you for war. People like Tim (and his criticalness) have helped to ensure our themes are the very best they can be for as long as I can remember him on the bored. Instagram : baddeolv Facebook : Brian Addeo
gibbawho Posted January 28, 2013 Author Posted January 28, 2013 Fair enough man, and I can understand harsh criticism ... but "this sucks" isn't even criticism. I'd have taken the harshness just fine if he gave me any pointers or even mentioned anything specific at all. I'm honestly not surprised. This theme was more of a vehicle for me to play with video transitions and flash animation than anything. If I find the time, I was already planning on coming back to it.
THK Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 ok ok ok, I can be harsh & blunt. Should've given you points on what's wrong / what to improve. I usually do, but I guess I just didn't this time. Main menu theme - The metroid animation is very cool I must say - Console is fine - The "Nintendo" in "Nintendo Wii" is out of wack. It just doesn't fit the "Wii" - Too many characters, they just clutter the theme the way they're spread around - Characters don't fit each other, style wise. (Only Sonic & Kirby do, btw Sonic on a nintendo theme?!) - What's up with the vid border. I get how it kinda fits the Wii console, but it just doesn't. You're better off with a generic grey border System theme - Again the title & characters - Loose the white on the vid border - Vid is not quite angled right it seems - Box/cd too small (if this is actually your work) ..........................back with a vengeance........................
