animated frontend... sorted mamewah help needed...

[elecdojo]

im after a front end which will allow you to use an image to select a game rather than line of txt.... i understand for loads of games this would be pointless but i only want to add around 10 games max to this front end....

ok i got a animation of the upcoming sf anthology i want this idea but without the arrows... the pictures can either move into view or just click over like page...

anyone seen this on a frontend?

[2600]

I would say a lot of FE's can do this.

Dragon King and 3darcade can do pretty much anything.   I think DK even has sample skins that do something close to this.

I don't see why MAMEWAH couldn't.
AtomicFE? probably.

With 3Darcade and DK you would have more control, but I think the others could handle this pretty easily as well.  Depends how much control you want.

[elecdojo]

theres doesnt need to be really any control... just a pure left/right control with start to begin... child easy...

[Thenasty]

check my page. I use Advmenu. Here is a still shot of one of the game.

[elecdojo]

im having a go with mamewah atm... i done that sort thing before just need to go REALLY basic now..

[elecdojo]

ok sorted it... need some help with MAMEWAH though.... how do you get from A to Z by going up instead of all the way through the alphabet?
is there something in the ini files i can change?

[youki]

If you decide to use Atomic, i can do this kind of layout for you without problems.

I can even make "Arrow" dynamic. (the arrow can be show only if there are still some game in the direction)

Just ask me.   

[elecdojo]

yeah that would be great... could you have a go for me?
i would rather the games continusly cycle round the alphabet than stop on A is that possible?

[youki]

I can not make cycle round easly  the list in the current version of Atomic. (that 's a feature on my to do list).

So if you want i start , i woud need few information.

What resolution you want for your layout?

Can you send me by mail , Arrows pictures?  and others Artworks you want.

May be you can desing your layout , create a simple static picture  of the visual result you want.  And then you send me the images , and i will make the layout script for you.

It's been a while, but...

**mamewah.ini**
wrap_list   1

[elecdojo]

2600: thanks that worked a treat 

youki: sorted it in mamewah now... thanks for the offer though... until a animated menu system is developed then ill use this, if you ever add this feature to Atomic then let us know

[youki]

You can already do Animated menu in Atomic.

For now, you have to use Scripting feature , but if you can describe me what kind of thing you would like , i can try to introduce that as component.

[elecdojo]

as you can see from the ani.gif i did above, when you press right or left the picture in the background moves to the main artwork... make sense?

[youki]

I can do exactly that with Atomic.
