@mud2005 Glad you like it too! The newer model is slightly squarer than the older ones and the resolution is a bit different, you might have an even better one.

Great job,
I have a question.

How do you choose a rom from the list of the Atari roms ?
Since the Atari joystick has only one button and usualy it maps to "B" action , How to do activate the an "a" functionality for choosing a rom in the Retropie ?

@p33te I built a bartop arcade machine. Like you said, building it was fun, really fun, but I don't have the space for it. The build process is what I'm really in for so although I at this moment think that some sort of small case and wireless controller would be smartest it doesn't sound very interesting. Right now I'm thinking about doing some sort of CRT build. That would add some extra challenge and the games we play on a Pi are all(?) originally meant to be played on CRTs.

@Geier97332 ..thanks!

I do now have 2 layouts suited for 5x4 aspect ratios on my Github.

https://github.com/dmmarti

theme repos:
arcade1up_menu
arcade1up_systems
hyperflash54

For the themes I create, some have 2 variants (_menu and _systems).

Their usage is setup for:

*_menu = meant for the Displays Menu/nested category displays
*_systems = meant for the individual systems displays

I'll be creating more 5x4 aspect ratio themes in the future as well.

Hi @Malixx, any update on when you are releasing this? I sooo badly want to make this theme my default, amazing work!

Besides posting them here, I guess for bezels you can try creating a repository similar to @UDb23's one and submit it to @meleu's rpie-art.sh script so it can be installed by users (see https://github.com/meleu/rpie-art).
For boxart, maybe adding them to a scraping site directly (i.e. ScreenScraper.fr or MobyGames) in addition to posting them here.

If you want to use forum, create a topic for your artwork (or 2 for each type of artworks) and update them periodically in case you add new stuff.

@chipsnblip This is more than anyone could ask for. On behalf of the retro community and myself.

Thank you!

The few times I’ve restarted I’ve had to go into filters and click hidden on again.

This is an awesome looking theme! Are you planning a 4x3 version as well?

One more thing I would like to add after using this battery is that it WILL pass through power while charging, which means I can plug it into the charger and play while charging. This battery will also power down on a quick double-tap of the power button which means you don't have to have a power switch to use after safe shutdown. HOWEVER, when you are charging, it will automatically pass power through to the Pi whether the battery is turned on or not. This means that your Pi will power on while charging unless you shut it down after plugging in the charger. I'd recommend the power switch anyway.

Thanks for the positive comments! I uploaded the files in a github repository:

https://github.com/JungleJim42/es-theme-collections

They will work as-is (only copy them to your theme folder) with the Nostalgic ES-theme by Supermagicom. For other ES-themes, you will need to fiddle with the xml files a bit.

I know this post is, like, two years old, and I hope I can get an answer but what did you use to design this?

@jdrassa Thank you. I do not think would have found that myself.

@Capeman Hi, please share your settings to make the theme look like yours. Thank you very much

Easy as... Cake?!?
