@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.

Running a raspberry pi3 with 4.3.8 of retropie

@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
