Modified the intro.mpeg to be a little less scary for children/pets/the mother-in-law. ;-)

Is the downsize have anything to do with changing the color of the dragon to purple... and changing the sounds to a song... that goes like "I love you! You love me!"?

No it's called I happened to have the cat on my lap one morning while I was working on it and it tried to claw my eyes out! Didn't realize the sound was so obnoxious until then. :)

Before I tackle this puppy, I have a simple question. Would you recommend Dragon King to run on an arcade monitor at a resolution of ~320x240 ?? Or is it made more for the home user running it on a PC?
I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere.

Well yes and no.... the skin format technically can't handle a resolution lower than 640x480 at this point (It will display though, the skin will probably just look funny)....
However, it has been brought to my attention that this version "broke" some of the older skin formats I used to support. If that's the case, then what the heck.... I'll go ahead and change everything to a percent based ratio upon the next release, so infinate scaling in either direction will be supported.
Minwah:
Nice update HC. Not sure when you added it but I like the dumba prog - good idea :)

Some good updates in there Howard. I've got a quick question, I've been through all the documentation and config files and for the life of me I can't work out how to assign a different skin to each list, what do I need to do to set this up?
Also I've noticed a small bug/feature, if you have joystick support enabled but then start DK without a joystick plugged in it craps out. It would be handy if DK still loaded so that the standard key input could be used.
Oh and btw, thanks again for a great frontend. :)
Howard_Casto:
If you read above the skin refresh style entry in the frontend.ini it explains that you either name the caption of the list or the logo for the list after the folder name of the skin.
Yeah I know about that, it's a directinput thing. I haven't bothered to fix it yet because the feature is more for hard-wired setups (cabinets that use joystick input) I'll put a call in later on.
Let me know if there's anything else.
