Hi @darknior

is it normal that under the system retropie the display be like that? thank you

darknior

@mikozzz No for me it's impossible, i don't understand how is it possible to do it with my skin lol

When i will work on this "system" i will modify my XML to hide many info and make it better.

On Vic 20, if I may give you a suggestion, I'd use Demon Attack, Jelly Monsters or Radar Rat Race art as background as these were the most famous (or "iconic") games on that home computer.

I made it for you, and i will use it too lol

And there are the models :p

@darknior good theme I love it by cons it is very heavy and I often have white images of the problem of memory

darknior

@mikozzz Thanks
Yes it's the problem, but i also made a lite version with only one image by system and it's same, i try to remove transition effect, reduce image size to 720p, etc ... i try many things and there is always the problem of memory and white images.
The problem come from ES and it's really bad, i must open an issue, some one must try to fix this problem ... we have 1Go of RAM and a Quad Core !!!

yes and what I find weird is that some theme that consume very little memory with the latest MAJ consumes much more even on theme HURSTY blue style, did you notice?

No i don't see it, i don't know this theme. Maybe it's because they have had the GRID support on the DEV branch ?

@darknior Hey bud.

I wanted to try this skin out, but I'm having a problem. I downloaded and unpacked it, but when I try to FTP it over to /etc/emulationstation/themes/, I get an "Unable to create directory [Permission Denied]" error. Seems this is one of those folders I can't actually do anything with.

Any suggestions to work around this?

Sorry. I'm still a Linux noob and the permissions always give me a problem.

darknior

@used2berx I don't know ... how do you upload it ?
It's a right problem, for my part i use SSH with root user.

mitu

@used2berx Just copy it in /home/pi/.emulationstation/themes as the pi user and don't worry about root. If the themes folder doesn't exist, create it first.

Used2BeRX

@mitu Sweet man. Thanks. :)

@darknior Now I'll finally be able to try out that Dark Steel skin that Gilles gave me about a year ago too. Did you guys abandon that one?

darknior

@used2berx Nooooo it's our official theme, i will finish it.
I already made a light version that working better.

But for now i work on many other things ... a finished the AMIGA CD32 Media pack and now working on the 1200 ... and some other little one like Neogeo Pocket and Wonderswan that no one has full HD beautiful stuff.
Like ever all of this take me many time and my real new work take me time too ... so hard with only 24h by day :(

Used2BeRX

@darknior You're preaching to the choir there man. :)

I can't believe I've been working on the NES 2.0 set for over 9 months now!!!!

Any chance you could shoot me the "lite" version of Dark Steel at the other place for me to try out? I actually never gave the original one a look and wouldn't mind seeing the updated one when I install your other skin sometime next week.

BTW... have you tried the "Comic" and the "NES Classic" skins that you can get from the repo? Having not actually seen either of yours in action yet, those two are my current favorites. :)
