[Theme] Art Book

40wattrange

Was wondering if there is, or if there could be, graphics made specifically for Genesis and TurboGrafx-16? I run a fully NA setup, so seeing MegaDrive and PC Engine is foreign for me. As well, it is kinda odd having MegaDrive and Sega CD - rather than sticking with Mega or Sega.

Just wondering - thanks!

@40wattrange Both Genesis and Turbo Grafx 16 are there. You might not see them correctly if your es_systems.cfg have the default system names in it.

Example of Genesis theme value in the es_systems.cfg file:

  <system>
    <name>megadrive</name>
    <fullname>Sega Mega Drive</fullname>
    <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/megadrive</path>
    <extension>.7z .smd .bin .gen .md .sg .zip .7Z .SMD .BIN .GEN .MD .SG .ZIP</extension>
    <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ megadrive %ROM%</command>
    <platform>megadrive</platform>
    <theme>genesis</theme>
  </system>

I just discovered this theme and this is the best one yet. I like the somewhat minimalistic and clean look. I like that the video snaps have separate portion of the screen. I have a question though @alphatoanant , how do you choose the source (GDB, or others) when you use the scraper in command line?

Edit: I just learned how. :)

Does anyone else get games randomly italicized in the game list? The majority of my games are normal font, but every now and then there's a game that's listed in italics for some reason. Haven't been able to figure that one out. Seems to happen in all systems (even the config list)

They may not even be italics... maybe it's just a weird graphical error in displaying the text? I've included a picture of how it looks:

As you can see, Einhander, Fear Effect 2, FF IX & Tactics, MediEvil and MediEvil 2 are all affected. Any ideas?

Can you help me? In relation to the development of thems for emulationstation in <formatVersion> 4 </ formatVersion> @alphatoanant

Great job!!!

Can you release a 800x480 version similar to the 320x240 portable version?

My 3.5" TFT display needs some acaling adjustments and perhaps scrolling text if to large to display and a larger art box work.

Thanks for all your hard work its greatly appeciated.

alphatoanant

@coutu thank you! I'll take a look at creating a 5:3 version to better fit that slightly wider resolution. I am hoping be able to do a quick visual test this weekend and if so i'll post back what comes out of that.

lilbud

@yiazmaty Happens to me too, never found an definite answer or solution.

alphatoanant

@yiazmaty and @lilbud what resolution do you typically run emulation station at (i'll match it on my end to see if I can replicate)? Do you see this on other themes or only Art Book?

lilbud

@alphatoanant I use Emulation Station primarily at 1366x768. I notice this on all themes to some extent.

DarishZone

Love this theme, one of the best for me, but i have to confirm yiazmaty and lilbud issue about fonts, my output is 1080p.

chum

Love the theme. So nice and clean!

Just curious which custom collection type is everyone storing run and gun style games ( “e.g metal slug, sunset riders)? And also old fixed screen games like Pac-Man, Galaga? I’m trying to organise my arcade collection into genres like fighting, sports, puzzle etc...

@Jaxel Congratulations! This layout of elements was great ... could you share those settings?

ande.rocha

I would like to know if it is possible to change only the background image of the main menu without changing the game selection screen.

@ande-rocha Wow the theme you're using is quite impressive!!! Is it your own creation?
