Just before this line insert the following
<div id="VLCs" style="top:-20;position: absolute;">
The go to the line where the embed element closes (width="0" height="0">) and after that insert the following
</div>
and you will be ok

Check Hyperspin - there are pic packs available for that - also, I don't believe that MA owns the rights to any of the images it uses. It's not exactly licensed by Nintendo or Atari so I would personally have no qualms about using their pic packs. You're not taking code from the FE so I would feel zero issue with doing so. If you need a pack send me a list of systems you want and I can see what I have on hand.
Oh, also, check out this video a new user posted over on the SW Skin thread

I thought the moving starfield was a nice effect but nothing really to write home about IMO and then the last five seconds I was floored. That zoom effect for launching the game is awesome. If we can get something like that I'd be thrilled. The background starfield doesn't have to zoom but it would be cool if both could. The icon zooming away is way cool though.

If it is not so much of a trouble, I would appreciate a pack. For now I would like the emulators of my theme.

Saw it. I have include such an effect in the code, but it's too soon to release it. Not only you can zoom out, but you can rotate as you are zooming or move up while zooming.
It's transparent, meaning it doesn't affect the background. How ever I saw the starfield he is using and maybe you can use it too. So we could also have the effect of high speed when zooming. But for now I will focus on the other effects and sounds

Going through the game list trying to set up the FE - I'm having issues getting certain parameters to save. I can get mame to save and anything with a direct exe (starfighter/wosn) to save but other emulators I'm having trouble with. Both my zsnes and project64 require full rom addresses rather than just the rom name like in mame so I'm wondering if that is an issue. When I go to launch after saving it just brings me back to the setup menu and everything I typed is gone.
Also, can't seem to run batch files directly. I've tried putting C:/arcade/bats/SF.bat as an emulator for example. When I got to the menu I put {none} in the rom directory and in the cmd line and ensure I check "directly load executable file" but no dice. Also, FE won't save those inputs either. Thoughts?

I am sorry but I don't understand anything. Remember, English is not my native language

You are doing it wrong. You set a directory for a new emulator (with all the required files, like you already have)
The directory name can be anything you want, but you must remember it (lets say the directory name is CCS64)
Then go to settings.ini under the [ALLOWED PROGRAMS] section. Write an entry with the same name as the directory of the emulator. If, instead of an emulator, you want to run a bat file write the following:
CCS64=C:/Users/dimitirs/Desktop/test.bat
You provide the full path of the bat file
Then go to the settings page and select the emulator (the FE will automatically finds the emulator entry).
To run bat files you must write {none} everywhere like the following picture:
EDIT: When modifying settings.ini, remember to restart the program
Le Chuck:
Sorry, I'll try and write more clearly ;D
I am doing as you say, I just did not explain it well. I have set directory for the new emulator, I modified settings.ini under [ALLOWED PROGRAMS], with SF=C:/arcade/Bats/SF.bat
In settings page I selected the emulator and put {none} everywhere as pictured and selected "directly load an executable file". I clicked "save" and closed out the program. Upon restart the settings are not saved and the game will not execute.
Can the program generate a log so I can take a look and try and see where it's going wrong? Thanks!

Shot a video to show the steps I'm taking so you can maybe spot what I'm doing wrong. Thanks!!
