What would you guys want in a Racing Cab FE?
Howard_Casto:
Eh I ran out of steam. This is going to have to wait until tomorrow. Wait.. it is tomorrow... damn.... well later anyway.
Howard_Casto:
I've decided to take just a little bit more time on this. I realized that the config files for the input settings weren't all that great, so I'm re-doing them. So it might be a day or so. This won't be one of those endless projects with no release in sight though (cough cough outrun fxt, cough cough).
There's just no point in releasing something I'll have to fix and release again in a couple of days.
Howard_Casto:
What a difference a day or two makes. I didn't like the idea of lifting a skin which was already lifted from Daytona USA, so I remade it, giving it a bit of my own flair. It's still not done (I want to make a couple more animated icons to show what the VR buttons do) but I'm no longer ashamed to release it.
I still need to aquire some snaps for demul games unfortunately and the list manager is non-existant. Note I didn't say list generator because I'm including a Gamelist with Bad Mouth's master list. I'm also including emulator config files for each emulator mentioned in the master list. You'll just have to change the path and that's about it.
I'm trying to make this one fairly turn-key, which I normally wouldn't do, but racing cabs are such a pain in the butt to setup, so maybe it'll help a little.
I don't feel up to working on it tonight, so unfortunately it might be this weekend, but fall is coming so I'm bound and determined to get this out before September hits and get 2k6 out before September ends. I want a racing cab to keep me busy during the cold winter months. ;)
*edit* Oops! Forgot to post the vid.

I'm liking it. I want different wording than "course select", but I'm sure it's just a matter of creating a new background image.
Will it be possible for the end user to move the location of the game logos?
(thinking I might want them a little higher, especially if they can't be on top of full video)
I put in for a few vacation days after labor day.
Maybe I can crank out some video previews then.
Howard_Casto:
Actually the "select a course" is a logo image. Because you can use different images for each skin I used a separate image for the header so you could use custom titles.
Even though, like you, I prefer all my games in one big old list, just so people would have an example I also made lists for each emulator, a logo for each emulator and a tinted background image for each one.
Everything is skinnable yes, but in that preview image the abcop video is actually avi with divx compression, thus the sound towards the end. I'm streaming it via some very hackish methods, but it works. So long as your pc isn't ancient I don't think it should be an issue.
Mpeg compression, and any kind of avi compression streams just fine. Simply avoid mp4 and mpeg2.
Anyway, my head is killing me. I've got an appointment with the oral surgeon in the morning. When did my head start bothering me? Spring? So I'll be out for a while.
