Duimon - HSM Mega Bezel Graphics and Presets - Feedback and Updates

Duimon · 20 October 2022 01:34

Here is the latest WIP.

The Emerson Arcadia 2001!

As I have said, with the layout of the last three systems, there is no hope of anything resembling reality. I have taken inspiration from my VTech Socrates and CreatiVision and just made this as representative as possible.

I think it looks pretty good.

The design of this system is blatantly copied from the Mattel Intellivision, so I was able to reuse some existing source. (Although I updated it to use some of my current methods.)

This should be in the repo very shortly.

Thank you Super Cassette Vision and Emerson Arcadia!

Emerson Arcadia was sold in Japan as a product called BANDAI Arcadia. This looks like a clone. The design also seems to be the same except for the difference in the logo (No 2001 logo) Thanks for the Emerson Arcadia graphics! There are only four games in the Japanese region. lol

By the way, are you interested in the Atari 2800 hardware? Atari 2600 for Japan only. This does not have a single Japanese region games. (there are a few games with Japan in the region because they were sold in Japan, but they are all are in English) So I think these are perfect clones. I personally don’t know if it’s worth recreating the graphics, as there aren’t any Japanese games out there.

The Atari 2800 features an advanced design unlike the Atari 2600. It’s like the Atari 5200 or 5800 in different colors.

ps I’m sorry for my clumsy English because I’m using all translation services to create messages.

My pleasure! The Bandai Arcadia has a bit of a different design, and there is more than one version of the Emerson. As is the case when I need to, I picked one.

It has a very clean design. Apparently it was also released as the Sears Video Arcade II.

If there were some exclusive games I would do it in an instantly. As it is I don’t think it fills any holes, but I may do it later just for fun.

The Duimon_Mega_Bezel repo and release are updated to v0.9.8.0.

Changes:

Added Emerson Arcadia 2001.

The link to the current release is in the first post. Installation/Update instructions are near the end of the second.

Duimon · 20 October 2022 13:02

So…that leaves only two graphics on the shortlist.

I was a little worried about the last three, but I like how the Arcadia turned out so much I no longer have any concerns.

Going forward I may split the Potato presets into a “Duimon-Mega-Bezel-Potato” repo to save space. The Potato graphics are 1.21GB and the current Duimon-Mega-Bezel release is frighteningly close to the 2GB file size limit.

With 25 graphics on the post v1.0 list, and new cores/SL being added all the time, I will need to do something.

Here is a quick WIP before I turn off my monitors for the night.

Duimon · 23 October 2022 22:10

Here are final shots of the Interton Electronic VC4000.

I will also be updating the Arcadia.

In my haste I neglected to add any texture… I have amended that.

The repo should be updated very soon.

The Duimon-Mega-Bezel / Duimon-Mega-Bezel-Potato repos and releases are updated to v0.9.9.0.

Changes:

Added Interton Electronic VC 4000.
Updated Emerson Arcadia 2001. (Added texture)
Migrated Potato presets and graphics to a new repo

The link to the current releases are in the first post. Installation/Update instructions are near the end of the second.

The size of the release surpassed the 2GB limit so I was forced to split the Potato to a new repo and release.

The more I thought about it the more sense it made anyway… If you need the Potato you have no need for the rest.

Duimon · 24 October 2022 10:42

BTW… the addition of the VC 4000 leaves only a single graphic on the list.

Also BTW… I accidentally deleted the 0.9.8.0 release so it is in the wind.

@Duimon, the Interton Electronic VC 4000 potato presets are named TurboGrafx16.

Duimon · 24 October 2022 20:53

Thanks. It is fixed and the release is updated to 0.9.9.1.

hgoda90 · 24 October 2022 23:22

I went ahead and checked the names of the rest of the presets. The Arcadia 2001 potato presets were named Intellivision.

Duimon · 25 October 2022 02:20

Yeah, I’m not surprised. I have been really struggling to not act with too much haste as the list draws to a close.

It appears that I did not entirely succeed.

I’ll fix it right away. Thanks again.

Duimon · 25 October 2022 02:38

It is fixed and the release is updated.

Duimon · 25 October 2022 04:49

This is cool!

qupe75 · 25 October 2022 19:41

Hi Duimon, was this released yet or are you still working on some of the obscure handhelds to release as a pack?

Thank you for all your efforts with these overlays

Neofuuma · 25 October 2022 21:26

Whoa, Neat!!! good find @Duimon

Here is a WIP on the Bally Astrocade.

There were three different logo plates for this thing, I honestly chose the easiest one to create.

I really had to mess with reality on this one… other wise the control panel and cartridge slot would be hidden.

I plan to add those as a separate layer so users can hide it if it bugs them, or use parameters to move them into the center in a 21:9 setup.

Duimon · 26 October 2022 00:37

Welcome to the forum!

You are very welcome.

It has been released on a regular basis over the last two plus years. The latest release was just yesterday.

Nope… I only have the Astrocade left on my list, and it should be in the repo tonight with any luck.

There will be 162 systems in the v1.0 release.

Jump to the first and second post of the thread for download and installation instructions.

There is also a list of available systems in the second post.

Ladies and Gentlemen…

The Duimon-Mega-Bezel / Duimon-Mega-Bezel-Potato repos and releases are updated to v1.0.0.0.

Changes:

Added Bally Astrocade

The link to the current releases are in the first post. Installation/Update instructions are near the end of the second.

Here are a few shots of the final Bally Astrocade.

I will be spending at least the next couple of weeks creating decorations for Batocera from the last half of my project.

When I am done I plan to give @TheNamec’s preset boilerplate a try. Then I may do surgery on my PVM’s. I also need to update my GitHub pages site, so there is plenty to do in the near future.

I have updated the list in the second post but I haven’t made a personal commitment to attack it straight away… I may want to have some fun first and do some Vintage TV’s… we’ll see.
