Space Oddity theme

[allahandro]

@lipebello I love this theme. One of my favorites now. Would you by chance be interested in making launching images for this theme?

[hiulit]

@allahandro @lipebello yeah, that would be cool!

Is there going to be a 4:3 version?

Amazing theme, btw. Congrats!!

I'd love to know this too. Probably the best theme to use on a CRT.

[chizzer]

I went ahead and converted the theme to a 4:3 aspect ratio.
Download here: http://rtid.co.uk/SpaceOddity43.zip

There's also a version for CRT's, which makes the font more readable at 240p/480i

I hope the author doesn't mind me doing this.

@chizzer Hey, good job! :D

I've tested and the backgrounds and everything look fine.
One thing I found is this the bottom left corner in the RetroPie Settings

There's some overlapping texts and the scroll gets cut. That's the only thing I've found :)

Also, I don't think @lipebello would mine. See his license. It's very permissive.

And maybe he also would like to create repos for your tweaked themes, so they can be available via the RetroPie Setup.

@hiulit All fixed!

4:3 (CRT) theme > http://rtid.co.uk/SpaceOddity240.zip

Great Theme. Well done!

How would i go about downloading or finding the .zip for the file. Not the 4:3 for me.?

[lipebello]

@chizzer , thanks a lot! i've wanted to fix some things on this theme, but i have so many things to finish and so little time... i've noticed that i mispelled amstrad cpc. i'll fix it and update it so you can fix in your version.

Can't seem to download either this or Retrorama on Retropie anymore. Is there something wrong or an issue on my end?

[mitu]

@ilifadeili The repository for the theme is not available anymore, but the Retrorama version should be installable. What's the error you're getting ? Make sure you have the latest version of the RetroPie-setup script before trying to install Retrorama.

Same situation as with Retrorama, here is @lipebello 's most recent post on youtube:

Wanna say sorry to all that tried to download it, but after some personal attacks, i've decided to delete my github account and leave the scene. I appreciate all the kind words and comments, but it's very hard to even want to do something when a lot of people keeps attacking you when you everytime you ask a seller to stop erasing my name from my drawings.
Right now, i don't feel like making anything, because i will always end up like the bad hater who are jealous of the success of people who contributes so much with the community by providing them SD cards with everything configured. It's kind of a buzzkill...
Best wishes to all of you, you you guys need any help with retropie or retroarch, feel free to contact me.

@chizzer The SpaceOddictyCRT.zip link is not working

[chizzer]

@hiulit My bad, it's http://rtid.co.uk/SpaceOddity240.zip

[hiulit]

@chizzer No worries! ;)
Btw, would you be willing (if you haven't already) create GitHub repositories for both SpaceOddity43 and SpaceOddity240p?
Or maybe should we ask first @lipebello ?

[nickdj]

I'm quite interested in seeing if this works on Emulation Station (Windows). The link to github is not working. Does anyone know where to download the theme?

[chizzer]

@hiulit I don't think I can add anymore to it to be honest. Not without the consent of @lipebello anyway.

[isrnick]

The licenses of both Space Oddity and Retrorama allow redistribution, so there shouldn't be a problem if somebody else hosted the files online and shared them for download.

I certainly would appreciate it, as I don't have either one of those themes and they look great!

[ruckage]

@isrnick
While that's true they were taken down for a reason (personal attacks, not crediting, etc.).
It's only polite @lipebello should be asked for consent and if he doesn't agree to them being rehosted his wishes should be respected.
