Retrorama Comic Theme

[lipebello]

@m3rLin0 Thanks!

1 - best way to add overlays for me is:
A - install notepad++ (i use windows)
B - windows key + R / type "//retropie" and when a window prompts asking for username and password, type "pi" (user) and "raspberry" (pwd)
C - unpack your overlay files to a folder in retropie (i like to add them on //configs/all/retroarch/overlay/retrorama)
D - go to configs/system you want to add the overlays (ex: configs/nes)
E - edit the file configs/nes/retroarch.cfg and add the line:
input_overlay = "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/overlay/retrorama/nes.cfg"
BEFORE the line #include retroarch.cfg and save the file.

@lipebello yay! good to see you are still active around here :D

do you know if that teepublic site delivers on our country? I would like to get some of those t-shirts ;)

[lipebello]

@meleu They do! i got some from them. It's best to wait because almost every month they drop the price to U$14,00

@lipebello This theme is absolutely gorgeous, you've done an incredible job here. I'm also looking forward to seeing updates on your Retrolution theme, which looks amazing so far.

The only downside to the Retrorama theme that I could find was that the TurboGrafx-16 launching image is utilizing the art you had used for the PC Engine's SLBG image, as opposed to the art you used for the TurboGrafx-16's SLBG image. If you could fix that, this theme would be perfection. :)

@lipebello Your work is amazing. I love your themes. I'm looking forward to the updates that will be released. Your work is amazing. I love your themes. I'm looking forward to the updates that will be released. I also loved the new overlays for flat screens, I hope you'll get more out there soon.

[lipebello]

@hjkran Thanks! i'll revisit the launching images aswell. I think it's because i switched Richter for Bonkers on the theme because Rondo of blood was a CD game and forgot to change the launching image, lol.

@MarlonBarros Thanks! Try to use it with Sharp linear scanlines shader and set the scanlines value from .7 to .35 to see how cool it gets.

So glad you are back and so is your theme. i just love it.

just a question. are there any systems that you are not planing on making a design for?
since i like your work that much, i dont want to have any black screens, you know.

look forward to your next update

[lipebello]

@ExarKunIv Thanks! i don't know, i only use about 10 systems on my builds, the rest i did for people that asked. I don't know if there are any that i don't wanna do

[ExarKunIv]

@lipebello ok cool
i dont like to asking for people to make odd systems just cuz i happen to use them, that's why i ask my question.
if there is one that i really like i will make a request, but im not going to get greedy :P

Thanks @Ranma! i'm planning to add more systems after the holydays. I'm also making a new version of Retrorama (both 16:9 and 4:3 versions) with new logos and drawings that i've made.

any heads up on the 4:3 / 5:4 version? I would love to see this on my cabinet :-)

I just saw that a 4:3 space oddity is available... I am thrilled to testing this later today

Many very thanks @lipebello . At last I have my 128GB full of my my favorite theme.
To complete the collection is it posible to add ZX81, Videopac/Oddyssey 2 and Atari Jaguar? it would be wonderful. many very thanks.

@Gwyllion said in Retrorama Comic Theme:

Videopac/Oddyssey 2

i second that, and possible one for super mario hacks?
If not it will not make your work any less amazing

I do have a few others that im missing, but they are not a big deal and i dont want to come off as needy :)

[lipebello]

@robertvb83 I've made a bunch of covers, still converting them, all in the new format. i'm planning to host it on github when i finish cover the base systems

Guys, no matter what I update, I can't make some themes, like Retrorama, to work. ES goes back to the defaut/basic white theme. It seems a problem with the <carousel> tag or something, because every time a theme use those, the basic theme reappears. I've been looking for a week now and I couldn't find a answer. Can someone help me to fix it, or at least explain what is going on?
Thanks!

@eduardors Please add some info about your system, as indicated in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. What version of Emulationstation/RetroPie are you using ? How did you install it ?

[sergioad]

@lipebello I am using the theme, 720p splash, the 19:6 run images and the icons in combo, the result is awesome and frankly unparallelled, WHAT A BEUTYFULL THEME, incredible job you did

Thank you very much friend

[eduardors]

@mitu
I installed everything a year ago, but never was able to use a theme that changes the carousel. And now I was trying to build a theme on my on, and when i use the carousel tags, the thing crashes and the Basic white theme appears.

Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website.
It says - in the Retropie Setup - Version 4.4.8.
I just updated everything that was on the Menu - the Basic Install, Update and the Retropie-Setup Script.

I've pressed de F4 and this is what appears:
Linux 4.9.35-v7+ armv71
File Sistem: 30GB, 16GB used.
Memory: 580948kb Free (750632kb Total)

Is this it? If you need any more info, just tell me!
Thanks!
