SeverdHed's Donkey Kong project...OFFICIALLY DEAD
Ryglore:
That mala layout is pretty sweet. I really need to get cracking on learning the layout program for it so I can do something up on mine...
javeryh:
Awesome! When you finish the MaLa layout I hope you won't mind sharing! It looks perfect for a DK running MAME! Of course now that it is playable we probably won't hear from you for a few months. ;D
severdhed:
here you go..i made a zip file containing all of the DK artwork stuff i have done so far.
it contains:
MALA layout, including required fonts
bootskin theme
wallpaper
mouse cursor
if you use the mala layout, make sure you have mala set to show the full screen loading picture, instead of the tiny loading window, because i didnt make a custom small loading window...just the full screen graphic.
i may tweak a little hear and there, but this layout is about the 8th revision, so i think it is just about complete.
it is a little over 1mb, so i cannot attach it to the post, so here is a link to download the zip file:
ftp://nickf.dyndns.org/Images/DKartwork.zip
i can provide the photoshop file if needed for the mala layout, but i need to clean it up a litle since there about 35 non used layers from a result of alot of testing
IG-88:
Very nice. :cheers: I love that layout. I cannot wait to get started on mine! I'm like you tho, not alot of $$ till after the holidays. This spring and summer has been tough on us. :(
severdhed:
thanks. making a vertical layout is hard. this is the first time i have tried one, and you have to approach it alot differently to get everything to fit. i have tried using the marquees as a gamelist like this before on my other cabinet, but i just didn't care for it. mainly because there are quite a few games that i just dont have marquees for, plus, it just seemed to cumbersome to scroll through large lists, so i usually use text list....but for this cabinet, there are only like 20 games or so, so it works pretty well.
i have to say i love playing these games on a vertical monitor...it is just so much better. now i just need to get this crappy wico stick out of here and get something a little better in there.
