Looking GREAT!!!  

btw, is the guy in green upstears Shaggy from Scooby Do?

[Lilwolf]

btw, can you change the background and options based on what your settings are or what games you have in the filter?

IE, is it worth me creating a brothel background with nude all around for when the 'adult' games are selected?

Then maybe a Maze looking thing with pacman and other running around in the maze categories.

Maybe even a flying through clouds for flight games

..

ok, I will problaby only work on a brothel scene with nudes for all

 It is a distorted version of me (http://www.i-modernist.com/emulaxian/peter.html ) but indeed the figure in the arcade looks more like shaggy then me!

Hehe!

With 0.6 you can only use one at runtime...it is loaded from the arcades subdir...but yes the next version (the hooks are allready in the source I just disabled it for this release) will be able to associate backgrounds with gamelist files...

Easy...export your videos to a sequence of pics (I tried animations with more then 100 pics without performance loss because they are loaded into ram and not videoram) in a new directory...make an animation with feuitlities.exe...put the animation in the arcades folder...adjust the filename in fe.cfg and adjust the tiling parameters...run the fe and enjoy...

ok Shaggy I'll try that  

I officially change your nickname to Shaggy... or The Shag... or best yet

>Shaggy<

Peter, you amaze me more and more with every release of that thing.  

All I can say is "Wow! That's Cool!!"  

Now, can seperate "skins" be made for the cabinet objects?  Like, could I make a Galaga or Pac-Man skin and tell it to use those with the galaxian cabinet design (because they're the same or pretty darn close anyways)?

What's the spacing like for the models?  Could I make a model of a sit-down cab in sideways position (which is wider than the width of a standard cab) and have it "fit" in line with the other cabinets?  Does it space the cabinets in a fixed interval or relative to each other?  

Any polygon limits or is it based purely on machine performance?
