    I have installers for the trials to both; just haven't enough time to devote to digging in yet. I'm definitely approaching this as a hobbyist and nothing more. Not shooting for the next James Baker quality themes; I would just like to see some theme videos for the lesser paid attention to platforms like Amiga, Atari family, MSX, etc, so figure I may as well make them myself. I paint & draw, so I have the artistic flair for creating, but I don't have a huge amount of time to learn a complex piece of software before crafting up anything and I don't want to get nuts with it either, so that's why I was looking for something cheap and easy to jump into. I agree that GIMP is ultra clunky... but it's also ultra free! Get what you pay for I guess, but so far it does what I need it to do (Google has definitely been my friend with regard to using it).

    Maybe, at some point, we should all compile everything into one big media download? Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

    Cool! You can definitely use those in your pack. I am finished with Chorus. Media that may be pertinent to a theme is attached (along with the completed box). If want the box template, Konami logo or the red scroll logo I used on the box, I can include those too, but I figure what I have below is what you'd be most interested in using. If you decide to do a Phazon them with the art I used for the box... that's attached too!

    Hey @Riffman81... not sure if you have already started working on that Super Metroid Phazon theme video, but hopefully not yet (or aren't too far along). I decided to make the logo on the box art bigger (it seemed too small to me). Otherwise, the box is the same as before. Also did a box and logo for Super Metroid: Hydellion :). Seriously... so many games to do! Great work on that Mega Man X Generation theme, too! EDIT: Actually, nevermind. You don't use box art in your other themes :P, probably not this one either.

    Updated the download with some new stuff. I've also got an updated version for the Kaizo Mario Bros. 3, but haven't uploaded it yet:

    I vote for new!

    In the second image, I had merged the layers because I gave up on trying to get the effect I wanted and just would up using the Fuzzy Select Tool to select the sections I wanted the right side of the character to be under and used the paint brush to fill in the areas In GIMP it's XCF, but same idea as PSD And thanks!

    Really like that Horizontal Wheel View 3!

    Didn't figure out the "proper" way to achieve what I wanted, but figured out a workaround for this one anyway.

    Hello All, I'm attempting to mock up some new box-art for Castlevania Chorus of Mysteries (ROM hack) since I want something that looks more like the classic Konami art from the NES. I'm having trouble with figuring out how to get the right side of the characters body to appear behind the "piping" on that side of the box. I want to keep the whip and the rest of the character in the foreground as it is, but can't figure out how to get that part of the body into the background. I figure it's with the Foreground Select Tool, but I guess I'm not doing it properly or something. If anyone out there who is more proficient with GIMP than I am knows how to make this work, I'd appreciate it. I literally just learn as I go with this program, but this is giving me a hard time figuring out and what I've searched isn't turning up the effect that I'm looking for.

    @BlueArrowUK Here ya go! Took a couple liberties, but I think it's an alright 2D rendition of the 3D box.
  13. CTRL-ALT-DEFEAT
    This is what I've got so far (based off of the 3D box that @Riffman81 did). Should have something ready shorty (just need to get the font for the the little text blurb figured out).
  14. CTRL-ALT-DEFEAT
    I'll take a crack at making one!
  15. CTRL-ALT-DEFEAT
    Sorry about that! Forgot to lower the settings in Shadow Play before I started recording! Probably didn't need them at 1080p

    @Jason Carr I still get crashes. It acutally crashed in Attract Mode last night. I wasn't around to see the crash, but when I came back, it had crashed (Unfortunaely, the only thing on the screen was the same generic Windows crash dialogue I more frequently get, so no log for it). Don't worry, you'll pinpoint it eventually!

    Nice! I don't know the first thing about coding something. You should share your patch! I mostly seem to stick to the Super Metroid and Zelda hacks, so it'd be cool to get some diversity in my own collection. I'm with you on only really being interested in the ones that are fun and polished. It's not unlike indie games: Most of it is junk, but every now and then, you find a gem (AM2R and Hyper Metroid, I'm lookin' at you). Games like Kaizo Mario are fun for novelty, but that's about it to me.
  18. CTRL-ALT-DEFEAT
    Yeah, definitely! I don't need credit, though; mostly just cutting and tweaking things that already exist, but that would be awesome if you used those logos for a theme video. Definitely plan to continue contributing things. Lots of great user-made stuff out there and not all of it is for "advanced" players that want to torture themselves, so I hope people will start to come around to it more. As soon as I get the time to invest, I'm going to start teaching myself some video-editing and hopefully be able to help out with videos too. Anyway, don't go over-board or anything :D, but I look forward to what you put up next.
  19. CTRL-ALT-DEFEAT
    Ha, ha, okay... lots of moving parts to this one it sounds like :D. Maybe one day!

    I made some updates myself for the box art and logos I've uploaded previously. New version with Super Metroid Phazon and others is here:

    I'm a little bit OCD and I would like to have the icons for games in my collection, that aren't North American, use their proper ratings icons (Cero, PEGI, USK, etc.) instead of everything being ESRB only, but I can't for the life of me figure out where the ESRB icons that are used are being pulled from. Is what I'm wanting to do a possibility or will this need to be a feature request?

    @Jason Carr Here is the link to the Mega upload for the test videos that I did last night. Hopefully it is helpful! https://mega.nz/#F!U0J01aLa!eLNQcaxByIxSYTXwXWNrjg

    Thanks!
  24. CTRL-ALT-DEFEAT
    Which directory is this supposed to go into?
  25. CTRL-ALT-DEFEAT
    @Jason Carr So the upload is underway to Mega, but it's about 6GBs so it'll take a bit to finish; I split it into 100MB chunks. I have attached the results of the testing (this is also included with the videos). Out of 10 attempts (5 with VLC and 5 with WMP), I managed to get a crash 9 times. I exclusively used my SNES category since I am 100% sure every game has a video and MP3 associated with it. The issue that came up during the third WMP test has never occurred before, so that is a new one. I'll post back once the videos are ready for download. Test Results.docx
