I just installed core ftp on my office PC, the SSD is new, but the storage isn't, it was working for me earlier on the arcade PC, I could download the emulators folder, but I couldn't seem to download anything else, so I tried filezilla but again no joy on that, so not sure if it is a problem with emu movies or my end, as not paid the bill yet and usually goes a bit funny not paying the bills.

I am not sure if Agent47 has any luck yet, as he has not reported back yet.

I hope you do not mind me giving you negative feedback, I skin for my jukebox, and I am not a graphic designer or even an expert.

However, it is fantastic that you are learning how to skin, and if you like the skin that is more important than someone else liking the skin.

Myself personally, I would never use this, not on my cabinet, nor on my home cinema.

I can see where you are trying to go with the skin, but it is probably more aimed at the enthusiast rather than the gamer.

The third graphic of the Sega Master System, just seems far too cluttered with images, I counted 15 not including the background.

Asterix was not a major game for the system, then you have bubble bobble, then the case art for the game, plus the video, and then some weird rocket.

For myself, it just looks far too cluttered. I would also make the graphics for the age, and players be the same as the video box, but that is me personally.

I would also try and make the skin look as same as I could, you have dark background to start with, and then suddenly you get a totally different background when you get to the Sega Mastersystem screen.

It is like looking at night and day comparing the two, I understand that you want to replicate the box art etc etc, but for me personally, it kind of get's in your face.

I really hope you do not mind my critic, but if hundred people say that they love it, just to be nice, and no one gives feedback back, unless you like the skin, then people are just giving a false positive.

Regards

Mark

I have tried twice, once while I was downloading the lot, and then once today with just the snes stuff. I can set up core ftp tomorrow on this PC and try downloading it onto here, and then seeing if that makes a difference.

MAME is a lot bigger though, and that had no problems, so I cannot see how it should be I think MAME is about 18 gigs, and SNES is 5? Just off the top of my head.

Infact hang on, shall try now.

Very weird as I have downloaded it twice now and both time same result. I am on my office PC for now, otherwise, I could have done a video for you or included the files.

I don't even have ftp installed on this so I cannot download. I shall boot up tomorrow and do a video to show what is happening my end.

I thought at first it might have been because I was downloading the whole lot, it did stop on MAME when I was downloading that, so had to pause that, but that works. It is just the SNES that doesn't.

Yep just this one, I have tried all the others, they show the artwork, the story etc.

I have redownloaded again and collections Super Nintendo Entertainment System - System Artwork non of these are loading, not even in a paint package. The story is pretty much an xml file

The medium artwork seems fine,

All of the files seem to be just the same files include, info, settings etc just seem to be like xml files.

It looks as if it is a total dud to be honest, I am just trying to download it again, just to see if it was a bad download my end.

The picture files do not show previews like they usually do, and also the video does not show as it should, as if they were either cut off during download or files corrupted.

I now know why, for some reason in collections the story file contains

Also the artwork like the video intro does not play so generally I would say that collection is buggered lol

Hiya,

I think we have our wires crossed here, this is the wrong file, I think what you would call it is the story file?

As in Nintendo Game Boy is an 8 bit handheld console blah blah blah

That is the part that is not loading, it is coming up with xml version for the snes.

Regards

A work around but a long work around, is by putting your favourites into a folder, and creating a collection OR another way is deleting the crap from the xml files. On some systems it might not take long, but obviously the massive one is MAME or arcade classics whatever you want to call it.

One way of doing it

http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/ and then find acc gain, rename the aac gain to that of mp3 gain and then you can set a volume, I would recommend 95%

However, do small amounts at a time.

That is the file that I am using to be honest, I downloaded it yesterday, that is the only one that does not work for some reason.

If you could attach it here though that would be fantastic.

It seems to be fine now for some reason, before it was just locking up and needed to hard reset.

The main problem now is the collections pack for the super nintendo system, that just shows xml and then the file details in the header, so looks as if something has not been closed off somewhere.
