          @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

                  @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>
                  <rating>0</rating>
                  <favorite>true</favorite>
                  </game>

                    @nollerd2 use pastebin for walls of text.

                        @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
