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.

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 :)

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

@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!

@eduardors Sounds like you need to make a thread in the Help section. You'll get more responses with your own topic.

@eduardors I always have problems with win32 imager, so i use Etcher to burn my images. Maybe that's the problem.

@lipebello thanks to the top hat gaming man I learned that there where both a TG16 and PCE in Europe, could you make an European PC Engine retrorama page keeping the actual for a PCE (J) page? ES works over the European names and logos of the consoles so having them acurately displayed is a priority, same thing occurs in the SNES page but it is more aparent in the PCE, for both you could reuse most of the original PCE and SFC pages I think

By the way the most essential one is the PCE one while the SNES one is a great bonus and... I must admit I just noticed this today but I saw the video at launch day

Either way I thank you for your hard work, I hope my feedback is useful for you

[sergioad]

@lipebello if you update your theme could you advice us please? Also... Do you think the update could be also applied to the launching screens?

[lipebello]

@sergioad Yup, i'm planning to, just messing around with a new render engine for the overlays and recreating the covers for both ratios. When i finish the overlays and covers, i'm gonna work on the launching images

[sergioad]

Thanks, having a Retrorama with the English PC Engine comic style marquee would be amazing

[ExarKunIv]

@lipebello

a very general question as, i can only imagine how much work goes into something this good

about what percent are you on with getting the new update done

not asking for a time as im good with waiting

again thank you for the amazing theme, and i found the loading screens you made so it is even better now :)

I definitely ran across this theme multiple years after making a RetroPie...and its the most beautiful thing ever, especially as a tribute to Stan Lee!

I did see an N64 and Playstation Overlay in a few videos (and I think IRL at an ArcadeExpo), and wasn't sure if those were still available or would be coming up in the next release? Either way, all of this is absolutely amazing and your work will always be appreciated!

Thank you!

@lipebello is there any chance that you are planning to add newer systems? like wii or PS2? i love so so much your theme with recalbox theme they have became my favorite ones... and the only detail is that some system are missing :/

@valdan i've finished the new overlay materials for rendering it. just posted a pic on my instagram
https://www.instagram.com/phillbello/

@ExarKunIv i think it takes about 10 hours each system, from drawing to finish it in illustrator, launching images, controller, logos, etc.. .and rendering the overlays in 3D. Now that i already have made the drawings, it takes 1 or 2 hours each.

Right now i've made 32 of 78 systems i have on the old retrorama. But i'm remaking the arcade and japanese systems because i want arcade to look like special edition comic books and japanese systems to look like different mangas.

But since last year i am working on another city and have less time to work on the theme.
