My Blue Fire Arcade skin for Final Burn Legends

[NEIL222]

I could pump one out for HD... Looking at working on something else at the mo though

[OOKAMI]

This is a variant of my Fire & Steel skin for Final Burn Legends.

The pics look a little dark, but its lighter on your TV.

I designed this with a single video/screenshot in mind, using the arcade cab screen.

Looks much better with videos, if you have a set of them, although pics look good too.

I haven't done a Dual screen version, as the space was limited for what I was doing.

Still undecided about a 1280 x 720 version, as its tricky doing this without an HD TV.

If there is enough interest I will consider it.

 

As before, I have included an Extras folder with a few rombrowser BG options with

different characters on the background.

You have to manually copy the rombrowser file you want over the existing one to swap these around.

Maybe nes could implement some sort of rotating rombrowser BG feature in a future update....

I also put in a rombrowser background without the characters if you prefer to stretch down

your rom list "blade" to allow for more rom listings. Choices are always good...

Hope you like it.

 

 

I'll use this opportunity to re-release my Fire & Steel 640 x 480 skin version too.

I have included all the extra rombrowser BG's I did (12 in all) and did a quick tidy up

with the screenshot box placements.

excellent ! Good work !

 

I have a request

 

Where have you found the arcade pic you show ?

I search one but i dont have found one like that lol

 

thanks if you can help me

 

 

PS : just a little idea

can you add flyers instead of finalburn legend on the arcade cab skin ?

That's actually a very good idea.

[NEIL222]

@OOKAMI: Which arcade pic do you mean? The characters standing, or screenshot?

I could change the pulsing logo to a flyer, but which one? There are so many flyers to pick from....

[The-Ice-Man]

He means that in this one, instead of the the FBL logo above the preview pic, the marquee of the currently selected game could be displayed. At least that's what I'm thinking.

 

[NEIL222]

I was under the impression that marquee & flyers were only for looking at through the menu system, not as each game gets highlighted...

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

For my part i'm looking for a arcade cabinet pic for my arcade project

 

for my idea, i make an jpeg example

the example show you what i need (less what i mean for the idea of course) in same time

 

 

[NEIL222]

Oh, I think I see what you mean now, you want to do your own project with a cabinet pic?

Here is the link to the pic I used for my skin. Note that I used Photoshop to tidy up the pic though,

as it was an old arcade machine, but I did a virtual makeover...lol.

[NEIL222]

All good OOKAMI, that pic was good as it was about 900k in size.

I didn't say it could be done, just that it's a good idea. It would make it a bit like the UI in Maximus Arcade:

 

[NEIL222]

Yeah, it is a good idea Ice-Man. Don't think it works though with marquees etc...

[The-Ice-Man]

Something NES would have to add I suppose.

[NEIL222]

That and a randomly rotating rombrowser background screen would be great.

Just a pity there won't be any more updates to FBL....

[The-Ice-Man]

Is that for definate?
