[twd]

Anyone else having a whitey with this theme on a pi zero? Thought I borked my whole system so started a fresh clean install , updated rp script , installed the theme via Es menu. And Its whitey again. Is there somthing I am missing

@twd Maybe change your vram settings?

[twd]

@hurricanefan nope up or down makes no difference, shame as it's a nice theme. Hmmm have retropie changes how they handle Es themes as none of the new themes work but old ones do.

[jdrassa]

@twd sounds like you may need to update ES.

[Hex]

@twd Can you show what you see , Post your es_settings file and ES version ?

[twd]

@hex I just done a fresh install and retropie script update. So it should be upto date. I just switched it back on tried it again , switching into a Megadrive game comes up with some text quick about the theme and zindex? Cannot access files atm as I am on a iPad. Try post them up soon

@twd said in Retrorama Comic Theme:

retropie script update.

This isn't enough to update EmulationStation. It does what it say it does: update RetroPie-Setup script.

:)

[lipebello]

@exarkuniv Thanks!

[Hex]

@lipebello will you be doing a theme for small screens ? (3.5 - 7 inchs)

[twd]

Sweet, makes me want to install some intelivison just to get heman showing. Do it have a heman game?

[lipebello]

@twd Yeah, it's pretty awesome.

[lipebello]

@hex they run in a resolution bellow 720p?

[Hex]

@lipebello Resolution is NTSC/PAL but the area is very small (3.5 inches diagonally). It is as small as the Pi3 itself.

@lipebello I loved the Shoot'em up system view!!! Awesome!

Great work, nice update. The only two systems I use that aren't yet represented... Odyssey 2 and Z-Machine (Infocom).

[HurricaneFan]

@ohmycommodore Random question, do those 2 systems use a controller to play games or is it all keyboard controlled?

[ohmycommodore]

@HurricaneFan

O2 yes (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2d/Magnavox-Odyssey-2-Console-Set.jpg/1200px-Magnavox-Odyssey-2-Console-Set.jpg).

Text adventures no, just keyboard.

I think this system will be an interesting one to conceptualize and design. For starters, do you use the title Z-Machine, Infocom (which is kind of the "Kleenex" brand I suppose, or simply Text Adventures?). I think I'd prefer Text Adventures, but I guess Z-Machine follows suit if the system name is what is normally chosen. It's a unique one, so I suppose it's up for discussion.
