It was all about football on the 2600. American football that is.

So, for the Atari 2600, you'd prefer something like:

[Adultery]

Perfect!

I can't tell you how many hours I spent on that damn game!

I'm mostly a fan of fighters to, and I like the scorpion pick, it just stood out to me because alot of the older group weren't into the fighters. Personally I do like it just a thought. I'd also love to see a ryu too

So, the Valhalla Theme has been out for a day or two. http://www.filesend.net/download.php?f=7fa...366aaf6caaa4e22
Anybody have any grunts, grapes, or gripes? Any ideas or 'critiques'?

Also, incase you have an emulator I haven't yet gotten around to making, the Photoshop file for Valhalla is available by PM or Email request. It's very straight forward, even if you're not a Photo-phile.

I'm still hard at work on this Theme. Above I posted a more 'appropriate' Atari 2600 Bak, and I plan on adding a Ryu (Street fighter 2) version of the MAMEBak, a Dragon's Lair DaphneBak, and use WonderBoy (Thanks DragonSlayer!!) for the SMSBak.

ALSO! Take a look at the following link to check out the brain child of Adultery,A mos_82, and myself:

They're guaranteed to spice up the theme of your choice and they'll be included in the final version of Valhalla.
Big rounds of applause to Amos_82 and Adultery for their great work (I only kicked this off with my ADULT XXX images who knew it was a good idea? haha!!)

[stephenp1983]

I'm having a problem getting some things to show up. I have it moved into my themes, and the vahalla background shows up, but none of the other images. Example, it shows the console in each emulator but its at the top left of the screen, and none of the character show. What could I be doing wrong

[GotMame]

This theme looks awesome and I would love to test it but I only have 800x600 at the most on my 27" Wells Gardner. I hope you are still planning to port it down to this resolution. I would try to do it but know next to nothing about making a theme.

Excellent work!

You could try it out, but I'm 99% positive that you'll get an error about having 'an object outside of the resolution size' or something like that. No worries, though; there will be an 800x600 version soon.

Did you go into the GameEx Config, select one of your emulators (Ex: Snes) and find the option that lets you select a 'Custom Background'? (Ex: select 'SNESBak.png') It's a common mistake. If it's something else, I need to know

[Adultery]

You can also add it to the theme.ini like this:
Open your theme.ini in a text editor.
Put the cursor at the bottom and paste this line
[Emulator_1]
CustomBackground=

Repeat this for each of your emulators (where Emulator 1 is your Playstation emulator for example)
[Emulator_1]
CustomBackground=psbak.png

Repeat for each emulator you want to use a custom sceen for, like this
[Emulator_1]
CustomBackground=psbak.png
[Emulator_2]
CustomBackground=n64bak.png
[Emulator_3]
CustomBackground=snesbak.png
[Emulator_4]
CustomBackground=nesbak.png
[Emulator_5]
CustomBackground=gbabak.png

...and so on. Save and exit.

Hope that helps!

[stephenp1983]

Yeah I didn't realize you had to change anything in the config, I'll try this when I get home from work, thanks

What about this theme in 640x480 resolution? I have a Wells Gardner 27 but 800x600 gets all fuzzy on me. I think it is going bad. 640x480 is just perfect. I would be willing to pay for your efforts

is 640x480 achieved by changing the image size to that in pixels?

[Nologic]

Yes 640x480 is 640 pixels wide by 480 pixels high.

hmm money to do themes...hehe might get me interested in this.

Tho I still have yet to finish my consol icons....after that I might start looking to do a theme...tho likely be for my self so it would be 1280x1024 since I'm a ghetto gamer on my PC currently.

Tho I'll likely release my work\source files so that others can toy with them or resize as needed.

[Crystal Pistol]

This theme is awsome!!! Thank you ... I wish I had half the artistic skill some of you guys do. 640 X 480 would be most desirable for those of us with the Wells VGA monitors. Also there is another theme out there that might provide some graohics for you to fill in for some of themes that was put together by Talking Bull ..Just a thought but this is sweet..I can't wait for the lower res verson to slap it on the cab..Thanks allot!

I have added the specified image to the custom background and it still shows my old logos. I wonder why its doing this any thought. I haven't had time to try adultreys idea yet.

I think you need to change the Start Page logo aswell as the background for each emulator.

Its much better to add this is the theme.ini instead of using the config app, gameex can forget which backgrounds to use when you switch themes because the filenames arent the same in all themes.
So i'd add this stuff at the end of the emulator, here's an example of one:

[Emulator_10]
StartPageLogo=neogeo 2
CustomBackground=neogeobak.png

Make sure to leave the .png at the end of the startpagelogo.

Give it a try, its worth setting up

[firebrand_X]

I'M NOT DEAD!!!

Things outside of GameEx have been a little hectic, but I've still been pouring into Valhalla for an eventual 'real' release.
I've created a few 'missing' emulator screens, and even modified a couple of the ones I didn't like.
