C64 Launcher Re-vamp

synchro · 23 July 2012, 02:28

Giving the C64 Arcade Launcher a Re-vamp...
How does this look for the new main menu ?
Been playing with it most of the day so hopefully its looking a little more interesting
and brings it more inline with the Amiga Arcade Launcher..

Nice, are they keys the same colour as c64 keys?

Retrofan · 23 July 2012, 11:26

Are you adding more games? Like Black Hawk, One on One and Times of Lore.

Depends on your monitor...No two are the same...even using exact colour codes wouldnt help....on mine its close...but when it comes to menus, Websites you can only use RGB as a rough guide....If they were flyers then the printers would ask for the codes to get it exact...

Ye lots more games

msantos · 23 July 2012, 18:55

nice... good job.

Retrofan · 23 July 2012, 19:14

Yep, it will be, although I would change the color and shape of the keys (breadbox style) as Methanoid said.

synchro · 24 July 2012, 00:04

The Breadbox did have grey funtion keys ??

Very early ones had brown but that was just vic 20 keys being used up by commodore..

Retrofan · 24 July 2012, 00:14

Just like (the photo) the C=64 where I'm writting now...

They don't look the same, at least they should be more separated, and they aren't vertical on their sides, but just my opinion.

Edit: Another game to add: Project Firestart [ Show youtube player ]

Looks great !!!

synchro · 25 July 2012, 19:39

synchro · 31 July 2012, 00:10

Retro-Nerd has a C64 Easyflash, IIRC. Would he have given you the link?

synchro · 01 August 2012, 22:23

Thanks Prowler.......That sounds about right

I will give him a PM

PaulyQ · 01 August 2012, 22:38

Did I send you cart images via e-mail?

Yes i belive you did mate and i still have them

But there were a few i just remember were easyflash only.....Like Prince of Persia, Turbo Charge for instance..Retro-Nerd just PM'd me the link again

In fact i if you check the Credit page on the launcher ( if you have it installed ) I put you on there for sending them

Its all finished im just tweaking...I add a game.....I test it....Problem is i then play the bloody thing for an hour or so

PaulyQ · 02 August 2012, 12:42

I'm at present playing about with the c64 demoscene, some stunning things have came from this machine. Have also tried out "c64 forever" as well and it's basically a front end for Vice. I prefer your easy on the eye frontend.

What would be a rather neat idea is to add a few extra's....

Couple of Vic 20, c128, Pet games and a way to run them from the emulator front end.. but make em hard to find (i.e. Easter Eggs) - just for giggles

synchro · 02 August 2012, 14:27

i actually had a vic 20 launcher in mind as my next project.....What do you think ?
