Re: Just for giggles :) Prevue Guide now emulated!

Hmm, most of the work requires tarting around with other Amiga programs. In fact I wouldn't know how to easily get the files from the PC to the .adf without loading workbench, sorry!

Re: UVSG Data Feed Server

I agree that a centralised server sending out UDP in this way is definitely a good way to start. As long as we document and put our info in the public domain, then there's nothing stopping anyone else building their own that works in the way they prefer. Open sourcing whatever you come up with is ev...

Re: Just for giggles :) Prevue Guide now emulated!

I grabbed the logo from swest's videos that he uploaded to megaupload - they are the right resolution and of good quality. I then put them into GIMP and cut out to the right size 320x240 for ENEWS and 640x160 for TVGBANNER and saved as .png Then transferred them over to the emulated Amiga's HD. In e...

Re: Just for giggles :) Prevue Guide now emulated!

The background is a logo - replacing the TV guide entertainment news logo. One thing that is a shame, it doesn't have the smooth fade in/out of the old prevue guide - a great shame! If you try to upload .iff the forum just says "the extension iff is not allowed". If I try to lie and say it...

Just for giggles :) Prevue Guide now emulated!

Images captured from swest's quality videos he uploaded to megavideo, transformed to .iff for the amiga to understand. They're obviously a bit shakey coming from VHS, and the banner in the lower half looks rough because it appears the palette (of only 8 colours) was changed in the transition between...

Re: EPG/Prevue Guide Videos

Heh, thanks for all the compliments. :shock: Yes, the first AmigaDOS screen was entirely a mock-up using an Amiga font clone . The rest (OS background, its mouse pointer, the channel changing snow and sound effect toward the end) was just winged in Photoshop and CoolEdit. Ah, cool. Where'd you get ...
