Neo Geo X Build

ruckage

Hello, can you explain to me how to install the theme neogeo x in retropie pi 3 because I can not do it. thank you very much

Hello, what part are you having trouble with? If you just need to know where to put the theme then the easiest way is via the samba share. From your PC retropie should show up on the network and off the top of my head you need to go to the /config/all/emulationstation/themes/ and just copy the theme folder into that directory.

No need for that package anymore. @ruckage added those inside his marquee package.
You can find everything you need here

Thanks for the reply @FlyingTomahawk , I downloaded those packages but I didn't find media for:

Bang Bang Busters
Crossed Swords II
Jockey Grand Prix
Last Hope
Treasure of the Caribbean

@pabloneken

I am sure @ruckage will check in here soon and he'll see your list of missing marquees. Just skip them for now until he can make them.

@ruckage I know this is perhaps yet another request on top of a pile of requests... but do you think when you have the time you could throw together the Capcom/Neogeo overlays with scanlines to fit games like 1942/Avengers/Ikari Warriors in that vertical style? I use these almost exclusively these days. I tried to make my own and its super apparent that it is no where near this quality.

question, the marquee layer is behind video preview, so it's only half displayed when video is playing, is there any way to fix this?

Hi. I can have a look but I can't guarantee how clean it will look as you need to cram in more scanlines as the image is rotated and scaled for those games.

Hi. It's do do with the video player you are using. You must be using OMX player which is hardware accelerated but doesn't support layering so is always rendered on top.

To disable OMX player in EmulationStation open the option menu.
Choose 'Other settings'.
Find the option for OMX player and make sure it's switched off.

The video should then play behind the marquee.

@ruckage good to know, thanks!

Hi there! Been trying this theme and is awesome. But have a problem with the games' logos:

How can I fix that problem with the logos size?

@kentarosan
Hi. You need to use the pack of marquees specifically designed for this theme. There is a link to download the marquee pack in this post along with some other assets that may be useful.

@ruckage I made my account for the sole purpose of asking questions, so hopefully I don't embarrass myself.

Disabling OMX works, but all the preview video is blue tinted. I cursory glance at the forums seems to suggest this is codec related...maybe. This isn't just my first time with your great theme, it's my first time with RetroPie in general, so I'm stumped. Could anyone else comment on the inverted (I think) colors?

It's a bug with the vlc packages included in Raspbian. There's a fix pending, but not yet released. It's not a codec related problem. You can either downgrade your VLC packages, switch to OMXplayer (which might interfere with the theme's layout, as you noticed) or wait for the updated packages to be released.
