I just thought this was pretty awesome, as a lot of people have been asking for it for a long long time, just go to Steam settings and opt in for the beta. Here's mine with two custom images (BF3, KH2FM )

For Steam games yes, for non steam games added to steam, not until now. Which is why I specified which were my non steam games. If you added a non steam game to steam in the past it would just have a small picture of the icon, not filling out the entire box and it really messed with the consistency of the aesthetics, and it flows much better now that custom full images can be added for non steam games.

You can see here how it used to be(look at Mafia 2 demo)

Np, these skins definitely give some new life to the Steam UI which I was starting to grow tired of. There's a Windows 8 theme that looks a bit interesting to me, but I can't switch from PixelVision...just yet.

Looks nice. Would like to add BF3, as well. But in the beta selection, I have 2x skyrim beta updates.

Hm, that's odd, would probably be fixed by just restarting Steam and then looking for the beta then, it went live not too long ago.

Comment has been collapsed.

Might be the case. Although, how does Steam register what the logo should look like? I can't just put Battlefield 3, I have to put Origin in order for it to work.
EDIT: Still 2x Skyrim Beta. :) It will most likely get fixed by tomorrow. I'm in no rush to try it. :) Also, I have the same skin. :D

I do the same, you can just find any jpg,png, etc you want to use regardless of the actual program you added to steam. Here's the link for the BF3 pic.

edit: hm, that's odd about the 2 Skyrim Beta's, perhaps one of them is the right Steam Beta Update, under the guise of a Skyrim beta for some reason...

Aaaah, I get it now! Quite a nice feature. :) I rarely open the grid view, but it's nice sometimes to look at the pictures. Also, thank you for the picture. Will come in handy when I get this to work. :D

Does the emu/roms work the same as GBA? And is there a preferred place to get it that isnt likely to have malware (my luck I normally get a malware version -_-)

1 decade ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Uh, in some ways yes, and others no. PCSX2 requires a bios which you'd have to rip from a real ps2, or obtain in other ways that I won't speak of. But comparing ps2 emulators to gba, ps2 is much much much more demanding, and for the games they use .iso files which are much bigger than any "roms" you'll find. KH2FM is ~ 4.2gb. Before I gave my ps2 away I ripped the bios and .iso off my imported KH2FM disc and use my ps3 controller to play. Here's an example of me playing it. What're your comp specs? Knowing this will let me know if you can even remotely run the emulator.

By the way if anyone wants a custom image for any of their games but isn't very handy with graphical editing programs, feel free to drop me a line and I'll see if I can whip something up if I've got the time.

Probably not the best thing you'd want to admit here lol. If you haven't added the game to steam already, just from the main Steam window go to Game>"Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library" and locate the .exe, and once it's in your library, right click it and choose "Set Custom Image" and select the jpg,png, whicever 460x215 picture you want for that game, and that's it. Make sure you're in Grid Mode to see.

Is it possible to resize this better? All I did was take this pic and change to 460x215 res, but that makes it seem a bit to stretched going from left to right.(you can see in my pic in the OP) Is there a way to still keep it the same res, but make it so it's not so stretched when going left to right?

I have it a shot, cropped it a bit and stretched it from there. If you want it stretched less than that you have to sacrifice more of the bottom row of characters than I took already, basically.
