Comic Book Theme 16:9 Full Release

@TMNTturtlguy not at all. The only embarrassing thing is someone who doesn't want to learn!

Glad to hear you managed to get this to work as expected on both video and non-video collections. It should look stellar!

Thanks for digging into it.

@herb_fargus wow, the desktop app is a miracle compared to the web browser. I followed the above instructions and sent a commit to the setup script. After hitting merge I wondered if I was supposed to create another branch and a pr? If i was, please forgive me. Thanks

herb_fargus

@TMNTturtlguy dont worry, any changes to the retropie master script have to be reviewed and accepted by jools before they are included.

the process for merging to repos is:

fork the original
create a branch on your fork
make changes and commit to your branch
submit a pull request to the master repo (which can be done from the web interface if you like)

@herb_fargus Thank you! I will correctly submit and add a note to it. Appreciate it.

I can confirm boxart showing up (not that you needed me to). The amount of work and dedication here is incredible. We're really lucky to have people like you guys super-devoted to the cause. Nice work!

Now available through the retropie menu. Be sure to update your retropie-setup script.

I will be moving my posts back to the main thread. link to main thread

@TMNTturtlguy I was able to work on my image for a bit last night and got everything working properly. This image is amazing....much respect to you and Rich Modmaster for all the hard work (not only initially, but the support you guys have shown since it's release). You guys are awesome.

@rutjoni You should be able to install it from the RetroPie themes menu.

I need help with a missing menu. I assume it is the gamelist.xml file for the retropie menu that isn't working. The "retropie setup" menu item just says the default "rpsetup" and has no help text or graphics. All the other items have it. If I just had the text for that section of your gamelist.xml file so I could cut and paste it, I think that will get me fixed. If there is another solution, let me know. I tried changing themes back and forth, but that didn't work. It was completely corrupted since the .xml file was empty. But I deleted the file and then re-installed the OS and the cores and then the "retropie menu" from the config menu. Strange I am just missing one item now.

Is there support like a lot of themes have now for all/favorites/last played? If not, could it be added? I am still amazed. I watch the video splash addition and move through the menus like it is an interactive movie. It truly is art.

Sorry to ressurect this old thread, but I absolutely love this theme. I don't suppose a 1080p version exists?

I've just put it on my Pi after seeing this. Great theme! Bravo.

@sad_muso and @AdamBeGood

Most of the development of this theme as been moved other to this thread: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/9211/new-comic-book-theme

I have a fork of it and development has been on and off. It can be found here: https://github.com/Zenjir0/es-theme-ComicBook

To answer your question @sad_muso, no there is no 1080p version. This is due to limitations of the RaspberryPi 1 and 2. Namely the file size of the background image needs to be below 512KB. I also do not have all of the original art assets that was originally used to render the images. Making the only way to get 1080p versions of the old backgrounds would be by upscaling them using a tool like waifu2x or A.I. Gigapixel.

I do recommend using this version of emulationstation on Windows to get the best experience with this theme.
