240P Theme (WIP)
-
Wow, thank you ^^ It will be used on a 27" CRT actually. I don't have my cable yet for my pi (on its way) to see how any theme will react with it. Was basically just guess work at this point.

UPDATED FIRST POST.

This looks SUPER AMAZING. Hope it's ready soon, so I can try it out on my BVM and PVM

@numotiv These look really neat. Since you are using overlays you will need to run the VLC video option. His means you will need to compress your video size. This may also cause overheating issues because VLC does not handle video very well. I wouldn't let that stop you, just something to keep in mind.

@numotiv Like the B&W theme someone posted recently, I don't mind having a simple theme for a simple setup that is... well, simple all around. I set my Pi up on my old small Commodore monitor from time to time, which is a decent size to play these old games, but overloading the screen with text won't do much (even with a proper 240p update that renders the text a lot more readable). Your mockup is a great start. I like the star field idea.
-
Yes, yes, yes! I wanted to do one myself, but your start looks promising already!
I would start without meta and after finishing with a basic one, try a variation of that theme with meta on top. My CRT makes it really hard to read the Emulation Station HD themes :(

@numotiv how do you do motion backgrounds?
-
Hes using videos as the backgrounds by maxing out their size and layering them at the bottom, using the older video codec (VLC i think) that allows for layering over video (the new one doesnt) - this might cause some heating issues though.
-
Any news here?

Sorry guys I have been gone for a while. I may continue this I haven't decided 100% yet though.
