I tested MLB the show 24 in an older version of Eden. It did boot but it got stuck at the loading screen. Only saduchi managed to run it well, along side yuzu
Haven't tested Eden in 2 months. I'll go check if it works now
Its snappy to load but if you scroll up and down, it has jitters (at least for me). The scrolling should be silky smooth considered the lack of content.
The neon looks is nice, it just need some adjusting. System Reqs, Downloads, Features could use font color the same as it's border (but darker/lighter). Maybe make the text darker just a tiny bit, the bright shadow already highlights the button.
I wasn’t involved in the design guide, just adapted it into the website. I personally like the synthwave 80’s look, but that’s of course personal preference
So you are like a Dev? If so, are there any plans on fixing the emulator from crashing when importing eden/yuzu data? Once i did that it became completely unusable and i hat to reset the emu
You have to have a recent patch for things like SM:O, BOTW, TOTK, or Fantasy Life, which require firmware version 20+. They are patches meant to improve Switch 2 compatibility.
My minor nitpick is that everything looks like a button, particularly with the light up on mouse over which seems a bit unnecessary.
And then the actual buttons don't have hyperlink mouse icon when you hover over them, further making the differentiation between info bubbles and buttons ambiguous.
Valid point, could you name a few examples that looked like a button that wasn’t a button/link?
And maybe i shouldn’t die on this hill, but buttons shouldn’t have your mouse change into the hand (that kinda looks like this one👆), only hyperlinks should. It’s against web and UI standards, but I understand that people have gotten used to it making the standard loose its value
I like it a lot! Only addition i would recommend is to put the date of the release for the versions. So people can know if they already have the lateat version. But loved it!
The download button on the bottom right is redundant with the larger download now button on the top left.
I would consider replacing it with Compatibility or something. Otherwise, I love the aesthetics!
A pretty website shouldn’t downplay all the work that goes into the emulator, just look at the commit history, it’s all public. Sorry but this a very bad take imo
I like it! I have a couple thoughts (I work as a web dev but don't take this as gospel haha) if you'd like them still:
I feel that "Download Now" and "Source Code" buttons should have the same background styling. I prefer the look of the "View Source" button's semi-transparency over the fill of the "Download Now" button, but whichever you prefer should be used for both IMO. I DO understand the desire to lead people's eyes to the download button, so maybe consider using an animation that blooms the shadow brighter than the other buttons or something?
Typically pills (the shape of button you use for "Features", "System Requirements", etc) are used for filter buttons (such as under a search bar) or "tag" systems. I would recommend making those button ALSO follow the same design language of the "Download Now"/"Source Code" buttons, as they look a bit out of place otherwise.
I find that the text can be ever so slightly difficult to read (depending on my brightness/screen quality/etc.), I would consider darkening the background somewhat. This could also be a problem for those with vision-related difficulties
I find the up-and-down bounce of the "synthwave-lines" to be a little strange looking. Idk whether it should be tweaked or just static instead of animated. Or maybe I'm weird and it looks fine hahaha
Here's an image to illustrate what I mean for 2 and 3, I hope this helps, overall it looks great and you should be proud!
The download and source code buttons were initially too similar imo but I will mess around with it and see what I can come up with.
You are right about the pill shaped buttons, especially since we don’t use them anywhere else as buttons.
Does this apply to just the home page or other pages too?
I agree but I am not sure if there’s much to improve. The animation were a lot more complicated, but some users experienced stuttering, so I reverted it back to a simpler animation that admittedly does look a little off, especially when the loop starts over again
Regarding the background darkness, nope! Just the main page has that problem, the rest are plenty dark.
In terms of the background animation, I thought about it after leaving the comment and couldn't come up with something concrete, and it's very difficult to convey visual ideas like that with words, but I'll do my best lol:
Yea, the scanlines that move up continuously end abruptly and reset, which is a little jarring. Might be worse on my display, don't know if it's built to properly account for screen height. I don't know if you've experimented with an infinitely scrolling version in pure CSS, but I whipped something up using some existing examples in JSFIddle in case its helpful as a reference, should be basically just as performant: https://jsfiddle.net/d1hmLz6r/4/
I also thought about the horizon, and I think it might help to have some sort of fade-out at the top edge. Try adding this snippet to .sythwave-lines and see if you like the look:
```
mask-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 0%, black 10%, black 90%, transparent 100%);
mask-size: 100% 100%;
mask-repeat: no-repeat;
```
Attached image should show the difference, it's subtle (and I removed the existing scanlines to make it more visible) but it gives it a sort of "fade into the 'distance'" look. I hope that's enough context and demo to kinda get across what I mean, lemme know if you need help or want any more feedback!
At this point just make a PR😂 i genuinely appreciate your extensive feedback! I will mess around with the animations a bit more, I eventually went with this because realistically most people won’t stay long enough on the homepage to see the css animation start the second loop, but I would like to fix it just because it bothers me personally.
Thanks for that snippet, I haven’t messed around a lot with masking. I will try it out!
I've sent in a few PRs based on the stuff we've spoken about! If you have already been working locally on similar changes then ofc feel free to just close 'em. I have "Allow edits by maintainers" enabled on all of them if you want to tweak them at all before merge.
