  1. Thay both look pretty sweet to me.... but I sat Top one.... Maybe even switch the 2 machine for real classics like MOrtal Kombat and SF2 rather than mame machines...

     

    Now if you had a pack that was consistent for all the emulators that would be summat else :)

     

    I found that the wide icons for all the other emu's look quite cheesey....

     

    Best icons I seen was on fancyxbox, but they wes not wide, but again only a few were there then they start to change.

     

    Example: Arcade, Console, Handheld and Home Computers all with a sweet yellow font crisp icons, but then only 40% emulators were there with the same font and others were missing... :)

     

    I tried to do em myself but I got the art skills of a blind man !

     

    Photoshop isn't rocket science. Those two took me about 20 min to throw together.

  2. Hey for those who like to use wide icons in XBMC I made these two from the logo and a standard boarder that's used. Not sure which one I wanna use yet but figured I would share.

    Lemme know which one you guys like more.

  3. The other problem with that is that directories contain a max of 4096 files on Xbox. This isn't a problem for ROMs since we have support for multiple ROM directories, but there is no support for multiple preview directories and that's turning out to be a real problem for me, unfortunately.

     

     

    I noticed that too. I noticed a few issues with dropping in some of the ResXtras for the console roms.

     

    Is there a similar place to turn for preview vids of the arcade roms?

  4. Are we talking ROMs only? I loved the video previews in SHOWCASE a year ago. My collection at this point is a mix of games with and without video previews. I would gladly help in putting corresponding previews together if it's needed.

  5. I have tried most of them and end up going back to Transparency.

     

    right but you don't have any wide icons set up in transparency correct? I mean. all I have at this point is simple icons within an emulator source which I would love to update however, I'm so use to the set up of the skin I don't think I want to leave it.

  6. one thing i noticed is that Tranparency doesn't really have an option to have wide icons for program sources. This is unfortunate since it's one of my farorite skins. I'm debating switching over to rapier but i spent a ton of time getting tranparency just the way i like it with all of the fan art.

  7. Hey I was wondering if anyone has seen or know of a ported version of the open source Future Pinball to the xbox? (http://www.futurepinball.com/) It's a pretty decent pinball sim and would compliment an arcade-style xbox perfectly. I thought I saw someone on youtube once have it in their custom xbox cab but I could be wrong and it was just a typical MAME setup.

     

    Anyone know if this has been done?

  8. CoinOPs Showcase is king in my book. It is by far the most stylish and sleek set up of the MAME emulators out there but if you're going to be upgrading the hard drive, you have space for options and picking one that suits you.

     

    If you're starting from scratch then here are a few general steps you need to take.

     

    1. Consider how you're going to mod the console soft vs hard.

    2. Decide on how big of an IDE harddrive you're going to need (if its just MAME you would be fine with 100gb or so)

    3. Pick a dashboard to run everything from (I like XBMC)

    4. Install the emulators you would like (check the stickied message from fumachu for a list of emulators)

    5. Start looking for ROMs to play

     

    This community is a great resource.

  9. Well the website ended up working out perfectly. The only problem is that each game has to be manually downloaded from the site. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in splitting up the work it would take to download the title screens and box art. I have a google doc's spreadsheet set up to track everything and with a handful of help, everything can get downloaded in no time.

     

    If anyone is interested in helping send me a PM and I can send you a link to the shared folder to help out.

     

    EDIT: I'm retarded....I just stumbled on all of the Rx files posted on xcene. disregard my stupidity.

  10. Finally got Showcase dowloaded and added the R3 update....SOLID. I must say that I am more than impressed. Keep up the great work! On a side note though, for the games listed without sound "MK, NBA Jam, Wrestlemania, etc", is this a hardware limitation or just that work needs to be done for it to work?

     

    Plain and simple: will these ever work with sound (I promise I'll be patient) hah

  11. OK new newbie question relating to this topic. I set the drive up using Slayer 2.7 and when I look at the partitions it sets up I have a c: partition with barely 2gb on it, an E: partition with about 5gb on it and everything else (458gb) on the F: partition. Am I missing something here? I was under the impression that almost all of the free space should sit on F:.

  12. So what's the chance that Midway's NFL Blitz can be playable? I'm looking through the ROM list and I don't see it. Has anyone been able to get this up and working on R2? I use to LOVE that game in the arcades. If it is on the list and I missed it, then I'm just retarded haha
