Redo Williams Images

The Williams 6809 family of games it comprised of 3 separate Hardware, and has the following games:

Rev.1 Defender Hardware

Colony7
Defender
Jin
Mayday

Rev.1 Robotron Hardware

Alien Arena
Bubbles
Joust
LottoFun
Playball
Robotron 2084
Sinistar
SpeedBall
Splat
Stargate

Rev.2 Hardware

Inferno
Joust 2 - Survival of the Fittest
Mystic Marathon
Turkey Shoot

Right now there's a single image for Robotron, but it has Defender on it, which isn't available in the Mister core.

There should be 3 standard image for each of these hardware implementations, and a single combination core for everything. I would suggest that the combination core image look similar to the MCR combo image.

Rev 1 Defender
Rev 1 Robotron
Rev 2
Combination Core

Off-Centered by One Pixel

There was a bug in agg23's Image Processor that offset all images by one pixel to the left. Because of this, all bin file images have a 1-pixel strip of white on the right. He recently fixed this bug, so update the processor, and render all images.

Make Images for Unreleased Home cores

There are some handheld cores that we know are coming in the future, plus there's lots of other stuff that will hopefully come, too. Make some overrides to prepare!

Handhelds

Consoles

segapico - Sega Pico
vectrex - GCE Vectrex

wonderswan - WonderSwan Color

Make Regional Versions of Home images

Some home consoles have different names and different shapes depending on if they were released in North America, Europe, or Japan. With the new version of the platform images, it's not so difficult to make as long as I can find the image.

So, let's try to make regional images.

European Versions

snes - Super Nintendo (shape)
genesis - Mega Drive (name & shape)
pce - TurboGrafx (name, shape is similar to US)

Japanese Versions

nes - Famicom (name & shape)
snes - Super Famicom (name & shape)
sms - Sega Mark III (name & shape)
genesis - Mega Drive (name & shape)
pce - PC Engine (name & shape)
pcecd - PC Engine CD (name only & shape)

**Note: Turbo Duo was released in Japan, but not released in Europe. Also, the PC Engine CD was the same in Europe as Japan.

The above comment is wrong. The PC Engine was released in Europe as the TurboGrafx and it was similar to the US counterpart. As far as I can tell, the CD add-on was never released in Europe.

Remake Home images in the style of Computer images

It's a lot of work to redo everything, but those Computer platform image look really really nice. So clean and stylish. Maybe we should remake all of the console and handheld image in the same way?

Refactor and Create "Home" Releases

In addition to arcade games, I want to create releases for consoles, handhelds, and computers, too. I don't want to create individual releases for each of those categories, so they'll be grouped together and considered "Home" cores.

Refactor the code to have arcade and home cores on equal levels, and zipped up for each release.

Continue to keep alternate and unreleased folders to other overrides, but don't include them in releases and don't front-face them as much as the arcade and home overrides.

New Cores from Obsidian

5 new cores have just been released by the mysterious Obsidian. We need images

Redo Irem images

I don't like the white fade I was doing with Arcade Multi originally.

The Irem Arcade Multi core images should be remade in a newer style that allows the art to take up the whole frame, rather than just the right side.

Also, there's a fourth Irem Multi core. Irem M5x combines Moon Patrol, Traverse USA, and Tropical Angel.

Irem M5x
Irem M62
Irem M72
Irem M92

Also, remake the following Single core games

Make Images for other released Arcade cores

There are several other arcade cores that have already been released. I think they have some good images, but I should probably make my own so that my image set is complete with all currently released cores. Then, if someone is switching image packs, my packs can completely overwrite their categories and they don't need to fill in gaps.

ericlewis cores

opengateware cores

Make Images for Unreleased Arcade cores

I closed case #2

Let's comb through other Mister cores that haven't come to the Pocket to see what might be ported in the future.

High Priority - Ace9921 Active Development

Low Priority

Other Singles

Released

Asteroids Deluxe
Jailbreak - Konami

Make a page with Arcade Cores sorted by original developer

Currently the View All page shows all of the cores sorted by FPGA developer. Let's make another page that shows all the cores sorted by original developer of the Arcade game.

Only include some Platform JSON overrides

When the Pocket has too many platform JSON files, the menu takes too long to load. Only include platform JSON overrides for images in the repo.

Reorganize alternatives

Now that I've replaced almost all of the old arcade images, the alternatives folder is getting pretty full.

The alternatives folder should be organized into 3 folders:

home-v2 (old home images)
arcade-v4 (old arcade images)
others

Make Images for Coin-Op Collective Combination Cores

Coin-Op Collective plans on releasing all of their games in individual cores, and I've made images for everyone of them. See Issue #9

But, as more and more Arcade games get released, the Arcade category gets larger and larger, and it's more complicated to find what you want. Creating combination cores that collect many of these games is a good way of cutting down on the amount of overall cores. Although, you could argue that it makes finding some things more difficult.

Anyways, the Coin-Op games were originally released on the Mister as combination cores based on their hardware structure. This includes the following:

SNK Alpha 68000
SNK 68000
Jaleco Mega System 1
Toaplan Version 1 Hardware
Nichibutsu Armed F Hardware ( http://adb.arcadeitalia.net/lista_mame.php?game_sourcefile=armedf.cpp&arcade_only=0&current_version=0 )
Nichibutsu Terra Cresta Hardware ( http://adb.arcadeitalia.net/lista_mame.php?game_sourcefile=terracre.cpp&arcade_only=0&current_version=0 )

Maybe the Nichibutsu stuff should be collected into a single combo-core? I dunno.

Render File that shows Arcade Art by Developer

Create a process, probably a piggy-back process for Process Platforms, that will create an MD file that collects all of the arcade cores (both released and unreleased) and sorts them by developer.

Reorganize Documents

Move all (or most) of the documents into the docs folder

Update older images in the newer style

When I first started making Arcade images, I just grabbed an image of the US arcade marquee and moved on.

For more recent images, I've used original key artwork and moved things around in the frame to create a better composition. Lately, I've also tended to use the Japanese titles rather than the American ones.

I think it'd be worth it to go back through some released images and update them to my current style to make everything more consistent, especially for games from the same developer. Also, I'd prefer them to face the original developer rather than the US distributor, aka Romstar, etc.
