That is very strange! I was expecting a "Oh yeah - it has to be interlaced" or something  :)

I'm using CS6 - what version are people using that works correctly? I've included the PNG file here. The forum wouldn't let me upload the PSD unfortunately. It would be interesting if it displays correctly on some systems but not others - could point to a bug :)

Could people try it on their version of mGalaxy and let me know what happens?

It's for the Atari 7800 BTW

EDIT: Here's the code to put in Systems.xml (using MESS) - just change your paths of course  :)
Code: [Select]
<System>
    <Name>Atari 7800</Name>
    <AppPath>C:\Games\Emulation\MESS\mess64.exe</AppPath>
    <RomPath>C:\Games\Emulation\MESS\software\a7800</RomPath>
    <SnapPath>C:\Games\Emulation\EmuAssets\Atari_7800\Snap</SnapPath>
    <VidPath />
    <Emu selected="0">
      <Cmd id="0" name="MESS" value="a7800 -cart &quot;%path\%file%ext&quot; %volume -skip_gameinfo -nowindow" />
    </Emu>
    <Ext selected="0">
      <Suf id="0" value=".a78" />
      <Suf id="1" value=".zip" />
    </Ext>
    <Active>True</Active>
  </System>

Hu, I need lot of icons, mines are ugly ^^. I take them on wiki (always on png=24 with transparent background) but the resize transformation is not terrible.

There is a special tips i have missed ?

None!
That's strange...my icons come from Photoshop, size 200*150, format PNG-24

Anyway, as I always add new systems (and icon) on request or free submission, simply tell me the system/icon that you want and I'll send you the "official" one!

Yeah.

Same problem for me. Lot of problems to make a correct size for icon. The defaut size 200*150 not working everytime for me.
Wii icon 120*120
3do icon 500*234
PS2 400*355

Almost the same ration W/H (1.2 1.3)but not all sizes are working, forced to make several tries up to find correct display.

There is a special tips i have missed ?

Icon images for systems

I've been trying to create an icon for a different system.

I'm having problems with the image though. I've created a .png file with transparency, of dimensions 200x150. The problem is, in mGalaxy the image is squashed to what looks like half that size. I've tried interlaced/compressed combinations but nothing seems to help to get it displayed in it's "correct" size.

Any ideas?
