[New Theme] Maximus Pie (RetroPie version of Maximus Arcade)
-
@pjft Thanks!
Yea...now that you and the other devs have been enhancing Emulation Station .... it's awesome that we can now begin making ES themes mimic a lot of the things that's being done in Attract Mode.
So thanks to you and the other folks who make this all possible!

@dmmarti very nice! Maximus was one of the first frontends I used (and MALA) when I first started my arcade project. Can't wait to give this a go.

@stephan311280 --- Here's the Maximus Pie photoshop template.
Have fun...and let me know what you make. I'd love to see it.
I actually fired up my Maximus Arcade front-end on my older gaming PC not too long after making this RetroPie version. Ah....the memories I have of using it......hahaha.

My wire really likes this theme. I "scraped" all my games and it works great except the marquee images are too small. I went into each marquee file and replaced it with a larger image and that did not help. I also "disabled the thumbnails and allowed for larger images and re-scraped. No luck.
I basically only run a dozen games in the "arcade" roms folder. Just classic arcade games like millipede and pacman.

@dmmarti Could you give us a breakdown of where the images and movies go along with where the config file for maximus pie is and the file name of it ?
Thanks in advance!! Great theme!!!

@nollerd2 Figured it all out..
Except where the setting is for the arcade top of the arcade marquis..
:)
You need to add to each game where the mp4 video snaps are stored in my case I've stored them here:
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/art/snaps/
You will also add the rom name with the extension at the end. *see my example below to see how it looks..
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gameList>
<game>
<path>./aliensyn.zip</path>
<name>Alien Syndrome (set 4, System 16B, unprotected)</name>
<video>./art/snaps/aliensyn.mp4</video>

@nollerd2 use pastebin for walls of text.

@herb_fargus sorry I had a feeling that was a bit much...

@nollerd2 I love this theme. Is there a way to use a default marquee for all the games rather than it changing like the wheel. Thanks

Anyone tested this on 4:3 screen?
