[THEME] Nostalgic
-
Brilliant theme. This is my new default. Thank you. One noob question. When it loads it seems to default to Genesis. How did I change that to Mega Drive?
-
@GrantX360 Open Emulation Station's Main Menu by pressing the Start button, then go to UI Settings. There, you can choose the default system under Start On System.
-
Has this been baked into RP yet, or is it still a manual install? @SuperMagicom
-
@ohmycommodore I just checked to see it was there (since I like it and wanted to install it). It's on the theme list (Number 124 on my list). Just make sure you update your install script.
My only complaints are 1) that it's 6:9 only and not 4:3 compatible. The images are stretched on a 4:3. I am still using it, though, because it's great. And 2) it doesn't have an entry for C64 yet. =)
-
@SuperMagicom stunning, great work.
-
@Clyde thanks for the response. This isn’t quite what I meant. In the standard RP theme the Mega Drive is called Mega Drive. If I switch to this theme it is called Genesis. Any way to switch that back?
-
@GrantX360 Ah, now I see that I did misread your question. :) Alas, I don't have any knowledge about theme building. I think though that the Genesis/Mega Drive thing is hard coded into the theme and you would have to change it in its code. Maybe someone with more insight in these matters can answer that.
Happy new year!

I love your theme, thank you very much, have you though creating your own video splash screen for it?
-
Wow that looks awesome, so downloading that when i get home
-
@SuperMagicom is there a way to speed up the page loading? I keep it on slide transitions and when I go from page and page it does not always loads it instantaneously
-
Amazig theme, it is a pity that it is not updated.
-
Indeed.. The creator may not be aware of the changes that needs to be made. I wonder if we can contact him in any way. He hasn't been online since august last year :(
-
Unfortunately, there is no Sega Saturn support yet.
I could help out with an image (vector graphic, png or whatever is needed), if somebody feels up to the task of adding the page. -
I really like this theme. I made the files for 3 new platforms (c64, gamecube and wii). How can I add them to the package (I am new to this)? Thanks @SuperMagicom! The images for the gamecube and wii are from Viking as the original theme.
-
Since @SuperMagicom seems not too active, if your are interested in adding the Commodore 64, Gamecube or WII to your nostalgic theme, you can simply go to my repository (https://github.com/JungleJim42/es-theme-nostalgic) and add the c64, gc and wii folders into your theme folder.
-
Wow, this theme looks awesome.
@Jungle-Jim I notice your repo is 2 commits ahead of @SuperMagicom. Is your plan to keep this theme up to date in his absence?
-
@nadcraker Not really, this is only my first contribution to any project, I wouldn't dare to be in charge. The commits are just the 3 new backgrounds (and logo and xml) and the addition in the "read-me" file. If anyone wants to take the responsability of this theme (Supermagicom seems pretty inactive), they are welcome to include my contribution.
Also, if anyone else wants to create some more backgrounds, I found the background image and the console images on Viking's site, and he allows anyone to use them, I could post the links.
PS: I really like the theme because it makes you feel like you have the original console/computer and throws you back in time. Also, since my kids use my retropie, they get to learn the technological evolution.
-
Thanks for add more platforms!!!
-
Is there any way to get the x6800 console theme?
-
@KoCinsKy Not from me, sorry :-(
