Greetings... First of all, I would like to give thanks to all of you who continuously supported the channel. As token of my appreciation, I present to you this new RetroFE Theme Build that is almost finished. Expect it early next week, just making a few more adjustments before I upload... In the past weeks I inserted one or two retro build setups on one of my own arcade machines. I have discovered a few things that need to be changed on the frontend being used. It turned out that not all eye candy frontend will work smoothly on the actual arcade machine. There are few issues like handling or scrolling on various menus.  Doesn't feel right or snappy. Just scrolling on the screen for various platforms became boring most of the time. So, I made something simpler and more responsive.  When you are having huge collections on a frontend, the simpler the better. You get to find games much faster and with ease. Loading and exiting on games are superbly fast with no hassle. You can scroll through the menus like a breeze, but it doesn't fall short on the presentations. Features: Vertical Scrolling on Platform and Game Selections Menu. Intro, logo, fanart, text, genre/game characters, story, video, console, arcade, 3dboxes and cartridge representations... Updated the platform videos... a few video themes from Trymado. Date, time and indexes are available on screen. Compatible with coinops addons with minimal tweaking. Minimum requirements to add a new platform are video, logo and rom/emulator files. I will add a default fanart for all platforms just in case. You can add fanart on your own liking if ever. in the video you will see a demo on how it works fully on some platforms, NES HD in particular. Theme: Project Arcade By: Jolygim GameandTech About Addons or when adding addons. Dont worry, it's not that complicated.... Info: Below are the possible elements inside an Addon folder for project Arcade. 3dbox = for games that support it(MAME, gamecube, etc) on the game selection screen. anima = artwork that is animated during game selection screen.(usually on motion or moving art or car or flying) still up to you cartridge = usually for console games like nes, super nintendo, sega genesis, atc. fanart = cover art 1920 x 1080 HD (for platform and game selection menu) fanart3 = cover art 1120 x 1080 custom size from coinops build logo =  default logo location (for platform and game selection menu) story =  default story location for all (for platform and game selection menu) video  = default 1920 x 1080 16:9 aspect ratio presentations (4:3 aspect ratio video will be stretch to HD 1920x1080) tekno = character art (for game selection menu) teknokart = 3dbox art for teknoparrot machine = cabinet art (for game selection menu) NOTE: You can shuffle the content of these folder container or you can go nuts and mix everything up to your liking. Just follow the rules below.Free to experiment(quite fun) Rules: fanart and fanart3 can not coexist. you must decide what to use or what is the best If you use an addon from coinops you must put it inside fanart3 so it will not stretch. If so it will look funny and  stretchy. In coinops the "fanart" or  "fanart3" is equivalent to the "cover" folder. You can rename the "cover" folder to "fanart" if 1920x1080 or 1120x 1080 "fanart3" folder to make it compatible to Project Arcade. 3dbox, machine, tekno, teknokart and anima can not also co-exist, use only one. One example is MAME, I used the 3dbox art because I think it has a better feel. The primary folder needed to run decent are fanrt or fanart3, video and logo. Other elements can be added later. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Adding NEW Addons not on the list: You can add your addon from coinops.
