bnj(jtslade_06-02-2009) Bump N Jump- MAME

[jtslade]

So this is my 1st theme and it needs some work.

the player car jumps around the screen and a car from the flyer chases the Data east logo (still need to work on this a bit)

For the FLV video ....
I don't know how to capture video for a vertical mounted MAME game (Like bump N jump)

Mame lets you output video but it will be rotated and I need to get it back clockwise to a up and down vid file for the theme.

Right now I have a youtube convert FLV (hence the crappy black lines on the sides) in there as EmuMovies does not have a BNJ.FLV as of yet (once I figure it out I'll put it on the FTP for circo)

anyway any advice would be appreciated.

Also I wanted to use a video overlay border but I can not get it to be the size of the FLV that I load into hyperspin theme editor? It seems to default to border size that is way bigger than the video .. Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it??

also the Data East logo will change since it gets blocked by the HS change game joystick flasher graphic..

This game is technically a clone of burnin' rubber (brubber) which does have an flv...

The theme needs work I'm not sure what you are achieving by just having the game graphics as the theme. Why bother if you are just repeating what's in the video?

If you are going to recreate the playfield in the theme, then why do you need a video at all? There are a couple of themes like that (sinistar springs to mind). Should be simple enough to flash animate a scrolling road and cars etc...

The logo should also be much bigger, what is stopping it go right accross the top? If it's a resolution issue you can vectorize it...

Alternatively, the arcade flyer archive has nice quality images for this and burnin' rubber....

*edit* scratch that Joymonkey has lovely marquees for this game...
