    16:9 Default Special Artwork View File Felt the need to do as part of ongoing developments but thought I'd take the time to upload it for anyone on 16:9 who wished they could use the default artwork.

    Thanks for the quick fix! Looks great now. I'll show it off on FB tonight.

    @griffin518 I think the quality of your work is such that'll it'll still look fantastic when upscaled. 1080p scales up ok. It's more, for example, trying to scale a 400x200 wheel to 800x400 or 1600x800 that it starts to get nasty. More wanted to let people know all this so they keep their "raw" files for when they're natively supported @EyMannMachHin There's definitely value in that approach and not to be a tease but several artists have been keeping vector versions of their themes for a while. That being said, vector formats do have some major drawback. The big one is that Vector files cannot easily be used to store extremely complex images where color information is paramount and may vary on a pixel-by-pixel basis. So while it can work great for arcade themes that might have a simple colour space, the effect isn't achievable on, say, a realistic redraw of a disc with a more complex image and pallette, an especially detailed wheel, or any sort of photo-realistic image in general. Love the 3D shader idea haha I have a pair of red/cyans I use for Nintendo Virtual Boy. @thatman84 IMO worry most about colour space. UHD DSR is just as good as native 4K, and better than 4K if the display you're viewing it on has superior colour space to that of the 4K display you'd be replacing it with. To boil down the frustrating snake-oil-esque TV business right now, the big things are colour space/temp with an emphasis on achieving perfect black levels, professional-grade calibration, and smoothness of the image in panning and in busy action scenes/games. As long as the screen-size to viewing distance ratio is correct, there are nil to minimal gains for 4K film/television because they're already effectively filmed at an infinite resolution, Additional detail at higher resolutions is only gleaned by sitting closer or increasing display size. That being said, there are finally some 4K TVs where the colour space/temp/blacklevels are way better than anything we've ever had.

    I've been typing at my desk long enough I probably qualify!

    I don't personally use RA att so I'm sorry I can't offer a more insightful answer I'm pretty confident it's fully compatible now though and @ulao just confirmed for me as well on FB that was the case. Did a little digging and found a udev Bliss-Box core from around the time I believe it became fully compatible. Does this help?
  14. Avar
    @Kondorito @Aorin Sorry for the slow reply guys! Been zerging through some spreadsheet stuff. Haha I've never seen the pig full-size like that omg.
  15. Avar
    @newoski Within the last version or so I believe. The RA team has a 4-play for development and they seem pretty committed to maintaining compatibility with it. Here are the latest firmware Release Notes.

    HyperBase Live is evolving into HyperAI and we need new official artwork/PSDs for it if anyone is interested in helping out. Fr0stbyt3'll make the final call since it's his baby but the only creative direction is as follows: Include Robot "mascot," the style of which is entirely up to you; Compliments current HBL aethetics; We need a banner (with background), the standalone logo, and a minimalist version. Beyond that you have total creative freedom to make it as original or traditional as you'd like. Cheers!
  17. Avar
    Well THAT'S getting fixes asap XD Cheers!

    Already done it once for myself. Will take a lil longer in that I'm creating local backups but not too bad. Seems slow going atm cuz I'm off-task on a related endeavour that's vital to this one.

    Audit framework in the OP created for the 202 items/systems currently included in my xml. Much faster building the foundation all at once than per-system as I go. Minor correction to previously posted xml: Added "Microsoft " prefix to XBox entries. Link corrected. Additional systems to be added as artwork assets makes it prudent to do so. RocketLauncher media to be added as appropriate. @garehard just a heads up your upload was slightly modified and has been added/featured. Thanks for your submission!

    Quick update: Bliss-Box has started selling standalone cables and standalone adapters in their store. Easier than ever to customize the exact kit you're after.
  21. Avar
    Don't worry, I'm used to it Besides, this is fun! I'll be ok.
  22. Avar
    That's fair but I have seen originality too over the years. I know I'm certainly not original when it comes to art but some people definitely have a knack for it
  23. Avar
    Truth be told I don't need a lot of sleep, especially when I'm motivated

    @Kondorito Those look really great! Added and credited you alongside the original creator. Removed a few more unofficial wheels so I think the final set came to 161/202 wheels (see attached XML for what I'm going off of). Super clean wheels! I might have to make them my main set. I especially like the Black Glass plates. Note: If anyone downloads the Minimal wheels tonight, I recommend batch resizing them to 400 pixels wide for use. I'll fix it when I get home in the morning so the ones on the server are the correct size for immediate use. Update: Main Menu wheels are done but people are welcome to deliver new sets w/e they'd like. The new system is smarter than I anticipated and I had to re-audit and upload everything to make there there were no non-official wheels. Will figure out a place for unofficial wheels and homebrew menus later. I've attached the system list I'm using below, which contains all official systems and a few new additions. I realize there are some other wheels floating around for legitimate systems but will address that when those systems get more coverage in general. Slight change to quality tracking: Have broken UHD into VIOLET for 4K and BLUE for 8K. Main Menu.xml
  25. Avar
    Oh, one thing I forgot to mention is that the new system is going to let us all push artwork updates a lot easier and without having to hope people actually notice and re-download the work. People'll always have the best version.
