I know its alot to ask but I have a couple of theme\genre\wheel requests.
-Pc Gaming Main Menu and default- in a Tron-esque text style for the wheel (you know those original cool cgi text graphics)
and for the theme somthing denoting either windows or microsoft as the procrastinator (MCP) in the theme. Microsoft\Windows\MCP taking over the world
I like the #3 attached graphic the best for the wheel
(Using "PC or "PC Gaming" as the text)
but its not as cutting edge looking as what you see in the original Tron movie title sequence.
(by cutting edge I mean for its time)
I almost like this wheel by THK post #6 in this thread
PC Games Wheel (http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12337)
-Independant Gaming Main or genre- in Indiana Jones style
-Hiscore or HitoText for mame (twin galaxies) Main or genre theme.
Thanks in advance even if they are just wheels.

???
I dont know what your talking about but albeit :D
(is that the right word\spelling?)
I'll bite?
What are you looking for? (no virtual boy, dont have it set-up to test out)
Here are some other genres and stuff Id like to see cleaned up but I can wait!
I'd be up for doing the pc stuff. My schedule is a bit flooded atm, so it might take a while. On the other hand, on a good day I can whip it all out.
So much to do......

I found a better example of what Im kinda looking for graphics wise for the wheel.
-PC
or
-PC Games
or
-PC Gaming

in at 11-12 secs right when "Tron" pops in. Actuall the other text fills in the video look cool to me also.
And maybe some sort of Tron-ized Bill Gates\Microsoft MCP in the theme.
MCP with glasses and a nerd haircut?
and baddeolv has givin me a good lookin wheel, Thanks!
Id also like to see what others can come up with too. I have absolutley no talent.
So using the same overall size, using
-a thinner black outline to make it pop
-thinner pink border (chiseled,beveled?) and more metallic blue
Sorry for the ignorance of my art vocab.
Mame attachment is from my cab's Marquee

Ahhh very nice, Perfect!
If only there were themes now hehhe
This is what I have for my Twin Galaxies Background nothing is clean and not very well organised.
a cool animated Hiscore counter would go good with this.
I dont have anything for Indie Spotlight :(
I'll have to find a good montage background image or pieces of good indie games to make a montage or to animate either by swf or with Hypertheme.
Perhaps some subtext:
Exploring the Indie Gaming Scene
One Developer at a Time!

Games for DOS/Win are not roms.

Yeah I dont remember where I got the graphic on post #3 but roms should be games.
and actually "PC Abandonware" looks pretty good all by itself but I also like the color contrast.....hmmm.
still searching for some "indie" stuff
damn I wish I knew how to cut stuff out and get that clean edge

THK has made a few of these themes already duders
chillinwater
04-02-2011, 11:08 AM
No those are just potential assests to be (hopefully) converted into a Main menu theme or Genre Background for "Indie Spotlight"
somthing like this I know its all jumbled up.

if you upload the source art that you used in your example, to the FTP, ill make you a more polished, less cluttered, usable theme LOL

yeah thats very rough, I was just playing around with stuff and was only trying to make a Genre background.
I have to take small steps with my skills.
Now a theme, that would be great!
Let me shrink down a few things to make room for a title and video and ill up it
[edit]
upped-all kinds of assets and formats \chillinwater
made some changes, see my previous post
I'm sure you can fix it all up.
I dont like robot unicorn and troublewitches but the girl has a flat head which isnt necessarily a bad thing. (ohh I'll get hate mail for that)
