Space Oddity theme

[dtinsley]

@chizzer you around these days?

[Clyde]

@dtinsley I think you guys mentioned him quite enough here to get his attention. 😉

[hiulit]

@Clyde haha, yeah... Too much indeed

[lipebello]

@Clyde , i agrred, lol.
I think it's better to start thinking about make a 4:3 version myself. Right now i'm a lil bit focused on renewing retrorama overlays (because i've switched from curved to ccrt pi, lol) and the theme itself, but i'll manage to get some time to convert it.

[chizzer]

Sorry about the delay guys.

My 4:3 conversion of Lipebello's amazing theme is here:

The invocation was successful! 😃

@chizzer Thanks very much. It would be even better if the 4:3 version was part of Retropie's themes repo. But I don't know how to apply for that.

@Clyde It needs to be added to a github.com repo first. Maybe @lipebello can add it alongside the existing theme on github and then we can add it to RetroPie's esthemes package.

@chizzer much appreciated thank you :)

[dtinsley]

@chizzer thanks! sorry for the multiple mentions....

[lipebello]

@chizzer , it is ok to host it on a github project to submit for ES themes? thanks for the upload!

[chizzer]

I would be honored @lipebello :)

[lipebello]

@lipebello I was curious as to what font you used for this theme. I'm loving this theme but want to make a custom logo for a collection rather than it saying just custom collection.

[mitu]

@Emerikant There's a menu.ttf in the _art folder which is used by the theme. Reported as Stormfaze-Regular - https://www.dafont.com/stormfaze.font.

@mitu Thanks! I didn't even see that in there.

@chizzer I take it the 4:3 version of this is still slightly different from the CRT one you had created as well? Is the CRT version lost to us all now?

[M3th0D]

@fraggle200 @chizzer I'd like to know about the CRT version too.

@lipebello It is unfortunate that all of this happened precisely in the "Raspberry pi BR", an environment clearly aimed at the Brazilian public. I am Brazilian and this attitude described about your work does not represent us as a Brazilian nation! I come here to apologize on behalf of the entire Brazilian nation (especially those passionate about games), for this horrible event that you experienced.

I have become a great admirer of your work for the themes you have done. My "front-end" is quite different from the others, because I am a Designer and I decided to include new systems (in addition to creating my own themes). I have no published work of mine on this subject, (Themes and illustrations for games front-end).
When I came across your work, I immediately captured the dimension of the work and dedication you applied! I don't know what you do professionally, but you are at least an incredible professional in the creative field!

I recently met the overlays you created and I understand you perfectly. I suggest that you don't mind these threats so much. Here in Brazil we have an old saying: "Dog that barks a lot doesn't bite." That is, behind a computer, many people become brave. You certainly have the means to prove your authorship, so it would be interesting if you met some Brazilian Youtuber who addresses old game subjects on your channel, to talk about the authorship of your themes, with the intention of informing and reporting what happened .

I hope everything will work out. And congratulations on your great talent.

@lipebello Any possibility to update Space Oddity theme? I have installed recently and looks awesome! But I miss some retrosystems like AmstradCPC, Amstrad GX4000, Amiga500/600(OCS), Amiga1200(AGA), Amiga CDTV, FM Towns, MSX2+, MSX TurboR, Nec 8801, Nec 9801, Nec PC-FX, NeoGeo CD, Atomiswave, Naomi, Naomi GD-ROM, Sharp X1, Sharp X68000 , Spectravideo, SuperCassette Vision, Thomson TO8...

@thiagogs Thanks for your kind words, i really appreciate it. sorry about the delay, but on tha last month i was focused on finishing the new retrorama theme in order to deliver it by the end of year. It was a bad year and i thought that it would be nice to have something cool for everyone.

Drawing is my hobby, my carrer is on IT (data scientist focused on logistics, lol), so i decided to don't let what happened ruin the fun for people who enjoy using the stuff that i created. And people like you really makes me feel happy about my decision.

I will focus in converting the retrorama to 4:3, but if you want the illustrator files to continue this theme, don't hesitate to ask. There's a lot of systems missisng and a lot of people would like to see it more complete;

Thanks a lot
