i dont get it. why do you redirect me into the space oddity thread?
-
Dang I was wondering why it wasn't working. I was going to use this as my theme and was super excited. Bummer. I'll look around and try to find the download. @lipebello they do say you know you're really loved when people come out to hate you.

Hello. sorry about the delay in respond to this, but i kinda absent from talking about last week and why i deleted my account on github and my repositories.
I have a huge collections of emails, facebook chats and even whatsapp (because i once joined an arcade builder's group) of people asking me if they could sell retropie images with my themes on it, and once i refuse, they started to talk about how the things on the internet spread and that it was better selling to them and this kind of stuff.
Last week, a moderator from a FB page called Raspberry pi BR released a recalbox image with my theme, but all my name was erased from the images, and he called his image "the retrorama edition".
I kindly asked him to remove my theme from his image and pointed that if he wants to share my work, he should do this without erasing my names, like it was discribed on the readme.
He erased my comment and started threatening me on private chat, so i've made an evaluation on the page saying what the moderator made and gave it one star.
Then i started to receive some more hate messages because the page owner made a post saying that i was creating fakes to negativate their page (that never happened). But in the end i'm always the bad guy, so i decided to not create anything else.

@lipebello i fully understand that. Unfortunately ugly people want to make profit out of your work. This is because it is amongst the most highly professional themes coming from your end. That makes people greedy...
Even if you won't do anything more and do not give support anymore would you make the latest working version available here just for download and manual install? Now that i have seen all the Retrorama Videos i want that theme so badly... But i kind of understand if you decide not to hand it out anymore... just too bad for me

Please let me know if you manage to get hold of it. I too only discovered this too late, and am super bummed I can't install both Retrorama and SpaceOddity on my Retropie.
I looked at a bunch of 'top 5 themes' videos on youtube earlier this week, and these 2 themes were the best by a country mile.

The only way to counter this behavior is to FLOOD the world with the real/original theme. (After all, they already have their 'fake'/modified version, and will probably continue to punt it.)
The best possible thing that could happen would be for both Retrorama and SpaceOddity to get included in the main downloadable Retropie image (installed by default) - then nobody in the world would every care about any 'fakes/hacks'.

@lipebello First of all, I want to thank you for your amazing work. I can imagine how you feel after seeing these a-holes stealing your work.
I just recentely found out about Retropie. My Pie arrived just today and now I see that this awesome theme got deleted (with valid reasons).
Is there any chance to convince you to share the theme with me? I don't want to sound needy, but there is just no other theme only close as beautiful as your work! -
@lipebello It's a shame a few ruin it for the many. I'd interested in making a donation by paypal or patreon for you to keep going with it. I just found it myself yesterday and I'm saddened by the loss.

Selling an image with your theme is one thing, but going to that length to remove your name from your own work then insult you over it is something else :(
I have nothing but respect for your amazing work. Hope to see you return in the future.

@lipebello I don't blame you for your decision, but I am saddened that your beautiful work will no longer brighten our days. I hope you find success in other art endeavors. You are supremely talented.

just came across this. damn shame, just a damn shame. it just shows the type of people out that are out there. that is why i do not follow any group out there are are selling this for money. they will do anything and blame everyone else who tries to do things the correct way.
I stand with you on your choice to pull your art.
Im with a few others there. i hope one day we see you return. -
Every download link i find gets me a 404error and thru EStheme within Retropie it requires me to login to github which when i do bears no results eather :(.
Any help please, I love this theme!
*Edit; sorry i just read back a little too less. Damn shame cause your theme is hella awesome man. Does it mean it's not availible anymore anywhere?

@bogus
Let's say that if you manage to find it, it'll go against the will of the author.
As sad as it is, because this theme is a masterpiece, I don't think people here will help you to find it, simply out of respect for the decision of @lipebello.
Personally, I even went to delete the theme from my setup.
Let's just hope he'll reconsider his choice one day. -
@sano
I completely understand. It's a damn shame tho. I'd petreon that theme is a jiffy!
Altho I'm sad it wont be around anymore, still mad respect for the author! -
So can you keep the theme, and not have the error when trying to update? That's a bit un-nerving, esp if you are not really experienced with your little pi.

Does anyone have suggestions as to what other themes might be similar enough in functionality/looks?
