Artwork assets
Hello. I'm the guy who created the original artwork for MAME4iOS back before Gridlee appeared on the app store. I'd like to update the artwork and tidy some things up like the icon being more rounded in iOS nowadays and the scaling problems with larger device screens. I can't seems to find some of the assets though like the joystick and buttons. There's a skin_1 folder with config files for the different devices but the PNGs are the wrong colour. I remember Apple altering regular PNG files in the past, they used to not display. Is this skin_1 folder the right place for the assets?
Hi! Yes the skin_1 folder has the images - i think i might have disabled the other skins because of the difficulty in scaling them to the right size because of the many different screen sizes that we have on iOS now. Please feel free to make a PR for any image updates, especially the icon and splash screen - thanks!!
Cool. I'll sort out the layouts for the XS also, seen another issue here about that too.
Hey, finally done this and created a PR. One question; I wanted to take the button layout from my deviceand add it to the repo but it's a dat file in binary rather than text. Is there an easy way to convert it?
Hi @daedalia, any ideas for a tvOS specific artwork item to use as the tvOS Topshelf or general icon? We can adapt your 1K iOS version but wanted to reach out and ask directly.
I am gonna do a dynamic Topshelf that shows recent games with Title artwork, so the need for a default is not as critical
Ok, standing down on the ask then.

The way I did it (I fixed all device sizes...ick) was I fixed the code that NSLogs all the layout positions and did a copy/paste from the debugger
It might be a while (if ever) before a top shelf, so having a nice top shelf static image would be nice.
Sorry guys missed all this somehow. I'll have a look into this then when I get a chance. Let's see what a top shelf image is exactly.
Shall I make something for game with no preview? Saw the icon in there currently.
Hi @daedalia! If you have the time and want to create something that you think looks better than what's in there currently, then we'd love to take a look. Submit a PR with your idea and we'll take a look!
