Looking for PAL SNES hyperspin themes. Can anyone help?

    Hi all,

    I'm looking for PAL SNES main menu and system themes for Hyperspin. Any of the themes i can find on the hyperspin forums only have NTSC SNES or Jap Famicom hardware on them, or are generic ones with Mario, Donkey Kong etc and no console.

    I know i can create them with hypertheme, but I don't have the photoshop software or a PC powerful enough to run it on at the moment, and have no time to work on them anyway, so I thought i would ask if anybody had made/found any european ones they might be willing to share which featured graphics of the PAL hardware.

    These are the ones I'm using at the moment. Any improvement on them would be very welcome.

    Many thanks!

    Maybe technically, but all my mates playing the cab would know the PAL hardware, and i'm more going for the "nostalgic, games from your teenage years" feel on my cab. For the same reason I've changed the "genesis" artwork to "mega drive". I just can't get my hands on the artwork to do the same for the SNES.

    The Super Famicom is identical to a PAL Snes though...

    Yeah, there's a theme for that but the logo is wrong, obviously. If i have to go the theme editing route, that one will probably be my starting point, but i was hoping to see if anybody had one already made that might save me some work.

    No PAL specific themes on the FTP server, just replacing an image in a theme is fairly straightforward though.

    Excellent, that's what i was hoping. As you seem to be in the know, can i ask, can i just extract the artwork that corresponds to the "famicom" logo out of the theme and replace it with any other PNG image, or do i have to be careful to size it exactly the same? Do i need to edit the image but keep it the same size?

    Also do i just re-pack the theme as a zip archive of the same name or does anything special need to be done with it?

    Thanks

    Yes you can replace an image with another one. If you keep it the same size its best otherwise you'll need to adjust the coordinates to cater for the different sized image.
    Thing the caught me out was the themes are uncompressed zip files. You need to use 7zip of similar and set the compression rate to 0 otherwise Hyperspin reports a corrupt zip file.

    Sounds simples enough. If nobody comes through with one they created in the meantime i'll give it a bash once i can get the time. Thanks for the info!

    Many thanks for this. I did put a couple together from bits and pieces of other themes but they aren't 100% perfect. Yours are much better. You should upload them to the hyperspin forums downloads section, pal themes is something they're missing several of.

    They look like they're in 16:9 aspect ratio. Will they work ok on a 4:3 setup?

    I didn't create the theme I just came across it on my travels :)

    It's should work with 4:3 as I think hyperspin scales the themes, the pictures are from my 16:9 desktop.

    I tried these out last night. They worked superbly, and scaled to 4:3 no problem.

    Many thanks once again :)

    I don't suppose you have any good Sega Megadrive ones (as opposed to Sega Genesis)? The ones i have at the moment are MegaDrive, but they're not the best quality.

    This is the one I am using at the moment.

    Main menu theme:

    And the game theme:

    Also here is the wheel image I use for the mega drive just in case you need it:

    My media folder for hyperspin is over 100gb now so let me know if you need anymore art, most of that 100gb is videos though! Altogether im hitting the 500gb mark for hyperspin and still not finished!

    Excellent, thank you. I had seen that theme, but hadn't found it anywhere. I will probably edit out the "what nintendont" bit of it, it's a bit obscure for my liking. I get the joke, but don't want to have to be explaining it to anyone playing the cab who doesn't.

    "you see twenty years ago, there was this sega ad....." etc.:rolleyes:

    Apart from that it's ideal.


    I'll send you a PM re a couple of vids i'm missing. Thanks a million, once again.

    Haha yeah I left it there for my own nostalgia reasons! I even had it edited out at one stage for the benefit of keeping it unencumbered but decided to leave it as I chuckle when I see it!
