MerlinArcade Posted January 31, 2017 Author Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Holy sh*t you made it work!!! Great job. So what was the problem? Edited January 31, 2017 by MerlinArcade Quote
Maddoc1007 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 just used what i've used in other themes site pack of origin and replaced the black background with it make sure whatever image you put in the root of the image folder is called Merlin.jpg the logo merlin arcades you have on the jpg though isn't centred see screenshots it should be directly above the wheel its more to the right easily fixed in an art program Quote

It's bigger so the details look better. Make sure you see it in full size before you save it. It's a 1024 X 768 BG. Thanks again my friend you're one hell of a pro. 1 Quote
MerlinArcade Posted January 31, 2017 Author Posted January 31, 2017 You just beat Jason to the punch here because you found a way to create a beautiful vertical theme. If you want to use my BG then just rename the theme Maddoc1007-Merlin-Vertical or something like that but you did all the work so use your own BG and take all the credit you deserve it. Quote
MerlinArcade Posted January 31, 2017 Author Posted January 31, 2017 Here are my 3 screenshots on both the Platform and Games side. Arcade Platform Arcade Games Atari 2600 Games. It doesn't have a screenshot of the game play but it will soon. Quote
Maddoc1007 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 @MerlinArcade No i did the views for you enjoy them, in time i will be creating a completely new vertical theme based on the new theme im working on i am just waiting for Jason to first sort out the font issues in the options screen and a few other small items.

MerlinArcade Posted January 31, 2017 Author Posted January 31, 2017 Well in that case a big thanks to you for your help. I'm sure for now this thread can help a few others who want a vertical theme and want to put their own image in the BG. 1 Quote

MerlinArcade Posted January 31, 2017 Author Posted January 31, 2017 There...happy now ;-) Thank you anyway. :-D 1 Quote
Maddoc1007 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) here is link to new theme i will be basing the vertical theme on Edited January 31, 2017 by Maddoc1007 Quote
MerlinArcade Posted January 31, 2017 Author Posted January 31, 2017 Nice but you will have to shrink it a lot to fit vertical screens. Right now there's too much stuff on the width side. Quote
Maddoc1007 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 No i have that all in mind already there will have to be a few changes Quote

You continue to work on the software part, I am working on the hardware part. This baby should come to life in the next few days. 1 Quote
Maddoc1007 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Pretty cool you'll have to give me hints on setting up trackerballs to act like a mouse Edited January 31, 2017 by Maddoc1007 Quote
MerlinArcade Posted January 31, 2017 Author Posted January 31, 2017 Just now, Maddoc1007 said: Pretty cool Yup. After that, I might take the plunge in trying to sell them in mass. We'll see about that. This could be the 1st IKEA style arcade cabinet coming in 4-5 small boxes that you can assemble within 1 hour instead of the typical fridge bulky cabinet that weights 500 lb that very few people are willing to start building on their own because the task is huge.

Maddoc1007 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 post screenshots of completed build when finished Quote
MerlinArcade Posted January 31, 2017 Author Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) I sure will. Is there a forum on self building arcade cabinets here? Edited January 31, 2017 by MerlinArcade Quote
Maddoc1007 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) As far as i know no you should ask Jason to include one, the nearest to one at the moment is the Gallery Edited January 31, 2017 by Maddoc1007 Quote
MerlinArcade Posted January 31, 2017 Author Posted January 31, 2017 Is there a way to skip the game details/menu page that we see just before the game loads? Right now it goes from this nice looking page... To this ugly page... Quote
Maddoc1007 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) @MerlinArcade to skip the games details screen in Bigbox go to Options/General and tick the Skip Games Details Screen see screnshot Edited January 31, 2017 by Maddoc1007 1 Quote
