      I rebooted the pi and before it reboots I get a "glerror 0x505"

      You run out of GPU memory!
      Is your memory splitted? Default should be 256MB (afaik!)

        @jaysterbaby reduce VRAM to a lower value, in the ES Other Settings menu. 80 is a good value. Don't change the memory split.

          @pjft So keep the memory split at 256 and just change the VRAM to 80?

            @pjft Can you please explain how the VRAM settings work and what they do if you reduce them? I read everytime to reduce them from 100 to 80MB... so smaller is better, why? Maybe the default value for RetroPie 4.3 should be set to 80?
            @Jaysterbaby Yes... leave them to default!
            Sometimes people override them by editing /boot/config.txt and then it's setted to just 16MB!

              @jaysterbaby yes. Try that. What's your current setting for VRAM?

                  @pjft 100 Vram, I tried 80 and it was very sluggish, 90 was ok a bit slower then 100 and 110 was worse then 100

                    @pjft Thanks ... I'm totally lost in these topic, because I just use lightweight themes (one exception is RetroRama from @lipebello) so I never ran into this issue!

                    Good explaination... So the default VRAM is 100 you have to raise it if a theme can't be loaded on startup and makes trouble in start mode.
                    You set it down if you see problems in switching to systems and using the theme!

                      @jaysterbaby if you're getting glget errors, increasing will not help. You need to reduce it. We're not solving for speed, that's not related to this. Probably video or artwork resolution instead.

                        Therefore I would reduce pixelsize of this theme ... from 1920x1080 to the half....
                        It's really oversized for the Pie ;) But that would my personal approach if I ever should run into this issue - I prefer speed over HDHDHD++++ themes

                          so far 90Vram is working I just have to be a tiny bit more patient when cycling through consoles.
                          so far no white screen or errors. and transition to "fade" to give it that extra load time

                            I've just got done updating the Github page with new 720p versions of all of the backgrounds.

                            So, for those that have already installed it, just perform an update. But for future folks, they'll pull down the 720p sized images going forward.

                            Hopefully this will make the theme be smoother.

                              @dmmarti Will try it.

                              I was having similar issues with mrharias Super Display theme, but after he released the new version in 720p it was fine.

                                @dmmarti, any chance you'll be adding collections for beat em ups, fighters and metalslug? Similar to your shmups collection? I'd love to see these! Showcase is my go to Theme. I love it. Awesome work.

                                    @dlesko250 ---sorry...haven't really checked the forums for a bit....

                                    Sure....I'll add those in! Let me work up the PNG files and I'll post when I've updated Github for them.

                                          I see you added nesh and snesh to the directories, I cant get the games to show up when copied to their directories. What am I doing wrong I wonder.
