Radikal bikers for MAME or radikb.exe (http://www.aarongiles.com/radikal.html)

I made this theme for my mamecab
I use as radikalb.exe emulator for better performance

[rondar]

I think you should nix the screenshot background. I did a quick search and the cabinet has really cool graphics.

High-res marquee

[mildanti]

[rondar]

Yeah, me too. :) The artwork makes me really wanna play this one.

[THK]

Kudo's for the artwork Rondar. With that it should be easy to make a very good theme!

(Maybe remove the pizza slice from the title and let it float down or do a particle animation.)

[lole]

he he!!!
I see that many of you are interested in this theme.

unfortunately I do not have much time to devote to the theme

but you can now continue

you have to play !!!!!

---sorry for my English of south France :sheep:

[rondar]

Merci, lole! I'm going to take this one from here. :)

[Babymaggie]

This theme must have been a tasty morsel lol

That's very kind and generous of you lole.

This theme is in good hands!

[rondar]

Here's what I've got so far. (The Atari logo will go on the top left). The video slides out of the pizza box, and the biker will enter from the right and then move his legs back-and-forth. And I'll add a pizza slice particle effect. What do you think?

This is looking really tasty!

Hot stuff rondar

[stovies]

This is looking hot. If you were able to animate the woman at the window's arm and maybe have the biker moving a little as well, I think the whole thing would rock!

[beavis]

I agree with Stovies the arm animating would be good.

Nice rondar,

this one was one of the most played games here in Spain, Tha game was made by Gaelco as you can read in MAWS (http://maws.mameworld.info/maws/), the "atari" version that you can see in some art over the internet is just a license for other counties out of Europe.

Here is a good Gaelco logo if you want to use it:

Looking good Rondar, my cousin lived in Spain and told me about this one but I never played it so looking forward to doing so and giving him the scoop. Great idea regarding the Pizza slices!

RAO,

Thanx for the logo (it's bigger than the one I've got). I was thinking of uploading some high-res logos to the ftp for other theme makers to use. Anyone interested?

Is the same artwork used in Spain for this game. I was using the Atari logo because it's on the marquee with this artwork. (I noticed I had to change the xml game info to Gaelco/ Atari license.)

[THK]

This might be a good idea. A collection of best available developer/publisher logos for use in themes. I say, start a thread for people to post these & create a folder on the ftp (\Upload Here\Developer Logos\ or so..) for distribution. :top:

[RAO]

Yes! is a good idea i think, I did some manufacturer logos like the gaelco one that can be posted.

Regards.

[lole]

good job :thrasher:

[rondar]

The layout is basically the same as above, but I added the Atari logo. (If anyone else thinks I should add the gaelco logo, just let me know)

Here's what is animated:
-The lady in the window comes out of the window, yells, and shakes her arm.
-The bike comes down the road, jumps, and then the biker moves his legs back-and-forth.
-Pizza slices fly out of the box

I think it's a keeper. Nice work

Really good work with that simple artwork available, i'll preffer the Gaelco logo, Atari is Just a license for this game, Gaelco is the developer.... as you can read in the game information shown at the bottom :fisheye:

regards.

[jeepguy81]

Really fun theme, great job Rondar!!

[rondar]

Here's the final version. I added the gaelco logo to make RAO happy. :)

he he he :D

cheeers :beer:

OT: There are two good interviews (in Spanish) with the Gaelco developers team in te ********** forum.... and they talk about the works with some games like World Rally, Thunder Hoop, Radikal Bikers, Big Karnak, etc.... thanks, now i'm happy xP

Man, I never knew delivering Pizza on a moped was this much fun. Had to bump up the audio latency to 5/5 in MAME to get halway decent sound that wasn't very choppy. It still isn't perfect and the specs of my system are pretty decent. Any tips on how to get this puppy humming better? Frame skipping? Other tweaks?

Rondar, the theme is awesome man, I can't believe nobody had yet rated it. You got an A+ from me brotha!

[rondar]

Yeah, the sound was really bad, but it's still a lot of fun to play. Thanx for the A+!

[BadBoyBill]

That's an awesome theme, thanks!

[RAO]

Or you can play the PSX version :)

[Secret80'sMan]

Sure thing, least I could do for such a killer effort! Everyone should bump up the audio latency for this particular game to 5/5 if their system can handle it. Makes a HUGE difference!

Dazz, I was about to install the emulator last night and then didn't because Aaron goes as far as saying it isn't polished and that he likely won't ever finish it. However, if the graphics and sound are full speed and there is ability to assign to joysticks that's pretty much all I would need for my arcade cabinet right?

Otherwise as suggested I can go the PSX route but I am such a die hard arcade version guy I rarely stray from the nest.

[Shanenashley]

I thought I heard someone say you can set which emulator to play the game through editing the xml. If this is true how would you do that. That way I can keep this game in my mame roster of games but play through the seperate exe file.
