RVGM (Retro/Retropie Video Game Museum) Theme in development
-
RVGM is my project from a long time ... and i start it on XBOX 6 7 years ago with XVGM ;)
Now on PI with RETROPIE i restart it, from scratch for all the GAMES collections, and MEDIA.
Now i have work a lot on stuff i want to work on my SKIN and i will share it for users that want to try and use it.My skin is designer to show and write maximum of important informations about systems and games ...
With a big MEDIA size to be show on a 1080p TV, or 720p because all is made with % and auto fit the screen.The skin is also MULTI LANG, you can switch it US to FR with only a VARIABLE on XML.
If people want to help ... i can share the TEXT .PSD to add ES, DE, IT, etc ...Like an image speak more than many words .... some screenshots :
French
Game list
Other systems :
I will post a video soon, it will be better ...
-
Looking forward to this! Any chance of 4:3 version?
-
@darknior Awesome job! Looks fantastic.
-
Looks amazing! Can't wait!

@newellj79 It's already working in 4/3, i try it in 640x480 and with the % ratio all elements are at same place but smaller.
It's a skin create to put and use many informations and media, it's impossible in 4/3 to use them all with a font size enough to let you read text.
I don't use normal and detailled view, i think i will use detail view to try to make the 4/3 theme. With cover and text, and after 5 sec the video that replace the cover. I think we can't do it better. -
When will we be able to do a testdrive of this theme?
-
Those gray backgrounds and arrows look familiar to me :p Just kidding, nice one

First video preview in action

If I could make one suggestion, I would put the release date with the game details, and move rating up where the release date is just to streamline the game info a bit more.

Thanks, but i want to move release date to player number, and i want to move up player number with a special font to show better VS, COOP, and ALTernative game.

@darknior
Really looking forward to this on my bartop. Let me know if you need a tester. 😀 -
I have work a lot to make some cool improvement to the skin :)
- Possible to remove the HELPBAR on the gamelist to save space for description and gamelist.
- New icons to show player number and multiplayer style : Vs / Coop / Alt(ernative)
I found no where any icons to use for multi-style ... i have create them myself.
If some one have some cool ideas and want to share other icon, i'm open.
-
Damn, Looks absolutely amazing!
-
Any updates on when we can try out this amazing theme?
-
I updated 15 systems today ... i work on it every days ... i already can share it but it is not done and if i do it i'm sure many people will ask me for systems not done yet, and ask so many questions that will make me lost time to work on it.
You will see when i will release it, i add more stuff than i use in each system directory. If i can found and work on more system photo, more different logo, i add them to let the user choose what he want to use.
I make for the systems the French and English Description and Informations. But there are not perfect because working on graphism take me already many time ...
I search some people who want help me to read and correct english text and why not add an other language. -
look forward to this
-
@darknior I can help you with the English text. My wife is French so she can double check everything also
-
@darknior Do you still need help with texts? I'm willing to do all of them.
