    Here's a vid of @bbweiners pausemenu.

    I modified his script a little.

    I used a mario theme because its easy to find images that dont need work. Although the images I used arnt great.

    My original was supposed to look like this... 

    mario.thumb.png.76ae4c7f9ca4a40b919c9ac16449e990.pngWith the black transparent. The buttons are images. But whenever I start the pause menu from within retroarch the buttons are blank, works fine outside retroarch. Also the grey bit around the buttons has to stay there. Otherwise the focus is hidden behind the button image. :( Yeah im not great at themes.

     

    Edit: Forgot to upload the file...

    MarioPauseMenu.zip

    i like the transparent pause menu more, and Im not great at themes either so when i tried it, it didnt have the question mark blocks in the buttons, and i couldnt find how to adjust the positions of the buttons, since they are not centered. Great job tho.

  2. I managed to get the pause menu to work with dolphin by editing the hotkey script, but the only thing that i couldn't get to work was saveing a save state through the pause menu, because in dolphin, the hotkey to make a save state is LShift+f1 and i couldnt get the send key command work in the AHK, but loading save states works since its just f1 in dolphin. Thank you for creating the pause menu. I love it.

  3. or if you use Retroarch already, all you need to do i move all your media(game boxes,carts,etc) to the correct folders and just import the roms into launchbox and set the emulator to retroarch and thats pretty much it. For bigbox, you would find a theme that you like and play around with it and use your own setting until you like it. ?

  4. Ive never thought about a Wii menu theme. That actually would be a really cool theme or even an WiiU theme. I would love to try to make a wii theme, but i don't know how to code. One our theme developers or someone could try and make this theme.

  5. I know  this thread is  about 2 years old so this issue it probably fixed for you but i also have a 960m, and im pretty sure it was a driver update or retroarch update that fixed it sinve i was getting this issue before, but now im not getting tearing with v-sync on. Sometimes i will notice it but to fix it, go to video output settings, then scroll down to Vertical Refresh Rate and it might be on 1.000Hz, and if it is go to  Estimated Screen Framrate and that should be displaying your actual monitor refresh rate and it should be around 60 if you have a 60Hz monitor or if you have a higher Hz it will be close to that and hit enter, then you should see the Vertical Refresh Rate change from 1.000Hz to your refresh rate, then back out with F1, and the game should be smooth with no tearing, but one problem i have it that the setting wont stick for some reason, so i have to keep doing this, so i might have to sett it in the config file to fix this.

    Yes, it can find and download a single music file for Amiga through "Download images/media" in the edit menu.

    thats weird? We need @Jason Carr to chime in. Maybe it has something to do with Emumovies api, im not sure.

  7. I notice that when you go into a platform, you can see the wheel curve and the pointer arrow shrinks a bit. Im not sure if that is by design or if it is an issue but it stands out to me. Other than that, this version and the original 16x9 version is a great theme. I hope that the curved wheel will be added to the original version, because i like it since it looks more like a wheel. Great job @Jason Carr and @CriticalCid for your amazing work :)

  8. Yeah i kind of like the slanted logos and also like the Animated Joystick at the bottom that says Select Game next to it that Hyperspin has. I think it would look cool in an arcade cabinet or if someone has an arcade joystick. Maybe @Jason Carr  or one of our theme creators or plugin developers can make it.

    Don't worry. Gameboy Advance is on the list. It's just not next.

    ok. Cool. Thanks again for these great themes. Since the merge of different themes per platforms, i had an idea to do themes like these with style that goes with their consoles look, but i dont know how to code or do anything in xaml, but you read my mind and made it better :D

    Oh I see. Unfortunately I am using the same videos. I don't think there are 16:9 versions of those available. I'm on a 21:9 monitor anyway.
    I guess the theme I'm using currently just stretches them to full screen. Maybe I can look at employing some type of overlay image for the sides so that I can use this theme and not have black bars.

    that would be cool, to fill in the black bars, and on a 21:9 monitor, youll always have black bars, with 16:9 videos, but there might me a way to stretch the videos by changing something in the theme xaml file for that view, but im not good at that, so someone else in the forums can help you with that, but other than that im  glad i could help you out.

  11. its because my videos are hyperspin recorded videos and they are in 4:3, but if you have 16:9 videos, they wont be centered like that theyll be in full screen.

    I was just experimenting with this. It is almost perfect but not quite there. It's better than my solution in the sense that with this method I also get the additional information on the right-hand side which fades out. That's fantastic.
    The problem with this is that the video isn't full screen. It's confined to a centered box. The method I'm using fades the wheel and leaves the video filling the entire screen. But now you have me wanting that box and info on the right to appear and fade out too. I do not have that.
    If there is a way for me to edit the view of this cityhunter theme to make the video full screen, I will be very happy.

     

     

  12. Here is the video.

    As you can see, im using the CityHunter theme as my default, and im using different themes for the other platforms, but i didnt show it in the video, and the cityhunter theme has the view that does what you are looking for, for MAME without doing anything special or modifying any file.

  13. What theme are you using. I tried it with the CityHunter theme and  it has the view you are looking for and it works like the way you want it. It could be possible that the theme you are trying doesn't have that view with the fade out effects. One thing you can do since bigbox supports different themes per platform, is download the cityhunter theme if you dont have, it or use the CriticalZone theme, and go into MAME, press the J (Default key to switch themes) and choose CityHunter or CritialZone to use just for MAMAE, then change the view, and you should find the view you are looking for. This way you can still use the theme that you like and your favorite views for other platforms and have the view that you want to MAMAE. Hope this is not confusing.

  14. Yeah, most themes have this view like the theme CriticalZone theme that comes default with BigBox or CityHunter includes this view, and to change views, you have to set a key in the settings. For example i have mine set to S to switch views until i find the view i like or the view you are looking for. Hope this helps,
