Sega ST-V Video Snaps Released
By Circo, in Content Updates, , 1 comment, 2,244 viewsSince HyperList had a Database for Sega ST-V I went ahead and re-did all of the videos from that set using MAME. I also created a specific System Intro video for the set. The video snaps created for this set will also be included in the next MAME video snap update. Below is the System Intro video that I made for the collection.

Cave Video Snaps Released
By Circo, in Content Updates, , 1 comment, 2,701 viewsWith all of the excitement over the new Cave shooters that were added then removed (and then added back on the sly) from MAME interest was expressed in doing just a Cave system. So I redid all the videos (MAME was updated as well) and also made a system intro video for the system. Game and Title snaps have been added as well. The set is available on our FTP and in the download section.

Automated Download Service Upgrades and Updates
I am happy to announce some upgrades to our Automated Download Service Server and Content.
Upgrades:
We have recently been receiving reports from outside the US, primarily the UK, that the download speed of the service was in the 100k - 200k range while speeds from our FTP file server were usually above 1 mb/s. With the growing popularity of the service this was decided to be unacceptable. As of today we have added a new server with a direct network connection to Europe. This should effectively increase the download speed by a factor of 10 in areas such as the UK. In addition to the network and bandwidth improvements the opportunity was taken to roughly double the processing power of the server. This should lead to much quicker operation of the service as well, since matching and processing of the media happens on the server.

Judging will be done by myself, Tom Spiers, Headkaze, Frequency, and Circo. Theme user feedback will also be taken into consideration by the judges. Your theme must be a new theme, not a rehash of an existing theme. Your entry can be submitted anytime between June, 2011 and June, of 2012. Prizes will be awarded on July 15th, 2012.
.:SUBMISSIONS:.
Please submit your themes to the submission thread located here. This topic will be updated with all theme submissions, and the previously mentioned thread will be the place for users to comment on the entry or offer suggestions. If you make any changes to your theme, please PM me so I can make the adjustments in the contest thread. All submissions will be considered final on June 30th, 2012, so you may make as many changes and/or updates to your submission before then.
When you are ready to submit your theme, please follow these guidelines:
Fill in the ENTRY POST worksheet located below. (Copy & Paste the sheet into your post and fill in the blanks). Add either 3 snapshots of your theme, or a YouTube video of your theme, to the post. Upload your theme to GameEx directly, or to a public download site such as MediaFire or MegaUpload. (Please, no RapidShare links!)
Easy right?
If you have questions, feel free to post them here. I will be updating this topic as need arises. Of course, the rules and prizes may be changed periodically without notice. Any changes will be made in writing, and an update will be posted in the submissions thread.
Happy themeing everyone!
