        @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 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
