Keep your eyes on the new board for details.
Cheers,
Ed

Can I guess?? ;D
-
ok, as much as I love wolves that is way too annoying.
-
Yeah, it is a bit LARGE!
-
Is this one better?
-
Better.
Did I mention I like wolves (look at my motorcycle on my website).
-
I getting the feeling that you like somthing...
-
<<I getting the feeling that you like somthing... wolves maybe? >>
See, this is why I don't like this board. Can't tell who replied to what!
That will get really confusing as this gets more and more used...
-
So... you like wolfs huh
-
<<I getting the feeling that you like somthing...

Love to see your new database in action... ;D
I still have to finish mine...lets wait until we see yours...so we can steal even more of your ideas... ;)

We never ever stole any ideas... not one!
ok, lets see....
I hadn't decided for sure if I was going to start a frontend until you showed a preview (and took a 6month hiatis)
I already had the idea of the screenshot and marquee over a picture of a cabinet... but the preview images at the bottom... blatent rip off.
Got it running like I liked it. Was about to make it look pretty (made it so ugly with a crappy cabinet hoping that people would use that as insperation to add a picture of their own cabinet... and nobody did :)
Then you released yours with skins.
I had to write a skin editor so I could use your skins (yes, I've had your front end running at 640x480 for like months now). (an yes, I had it running at home way before Howard released his skin editor... :)... didn't steal that one from him. But I added a bunch of stuff to my editor so I can steal his skins also :)
One of the limiting factors in me releasing something is that i need to create some of my own skins.... artistic...talent.... sapping....away.....
Trouble is that I get more ideas before I'm ready to ship anything. I really need to get a release out :)
-
I have also have the active skin drag and drop working. This is really sweet. 8) Also dynamically change the resolution on the fly with the click of a button.
Can't wait to get it out. As soon as I can get my new machine up tonight.
-
Actually lilwolf, mine was the first fe to be fully skinnable. ;D
It's still the only one with FULL skinnability to my knowledge, but I'm sure that's definately gonna change, right guys?
;)
Big things on the way for rd too btw, this is gettin good perhaps we should use our powers for good instead of evil?
-
I won't add skins...The Galaxians won't let me they want total control...hehe...! :D
-
Actually lilwolf, mine was the first fe to be fully skinnable.
-
Absolutely everyone on the entire planet. Even when you have the "perfect look" as you put it you get sick of it after a while... I think a random loading of a skin upon startup might be a feature for a future release of rd. You know like the background rotater for mame32, but better.
:)
btw )p(
I know, I know, your old and crotchety and set in your ways.
:P ;D
-
sweet.
-
LoL Howard ;)
Emulaxian is skinnable...yuo just have to open it in
Director ;D
But to be perfectly honost..in the latest versions of Emulaxian most things are internally skinnable and interchangable...to make it easier for myself now there are three fe's I am working on...
Peter
-
And Howard. Mine has been fully skinnable since 2 or 3 days after ArcadeFX's release with his skins. Just not released :)
I did rewrite the skinnable code so I could add another bean easier (I added one bean and it took me 15 minutes to add the bean, add the support to the front end and everything... Then 4 hours to get it in the skin editor popup because the design was really hacked and thrown together).
My trouble is lack of time. With 2 kids and a wife, I'm lucky to get 15 minutes a day!
-
I hear ya! I am in the same boat with 2 kids, wife, dog, cat, and another baby on the way. Actually, probably in the next week or two. So I need to get out the latest release by this weekend for sure.
I have programmed myself for only 5 hours of sleep so I can get an hour or two a day if I need to: ::)
-
Luckily I don't require sleep so I stay up all night and code. ;D
I'm so inhuman........ perhaps I shoudl go work for M$
:-X
-
Ok it's been 3 days I want my big news now ed. I've been waiting patiently but i can't take it anymore. I haven't slept in 2 days I've been anticipating this so much. Ok, i'm lying i'm just bored at work.
-
He just got a new machine. I'm sure he is spending to much time playing games and showing 3d demos then actually coding :)
I know when I get a new machine. the next week is just playing with generic windows settings. (what background goes good with this case kinda choices)
-
Here is what I posted to the AFX messageboard if you have not seen it. Major reconstruction to the core backed of AFX. Pretty much totaly redid everything on the backend.

I need on night of solid testing tonight. If all is okay then Saturday I will package and release it.
Keep your fingers crossed!
Oh, my new machine is great btw. ;D
