New Neon Overdrive Themes!

Super Retropie

More supported systems. Custom Collections, and colors coming soon 😎

Zenjiro

For the system files that you did not create yourself, did you have a go to online resource such as screenscraper.fr for those system.png files?

I like how sharp/crisp your files are. I just can't find those types of images at such high resolutions.

Super Retropie

@Zenjiro most of it has to be altered and sharpened that you find online. I keep a master .psd file at high resolution for mine with all of the system logos and collections so I never have to go hunting for them online anymore. It constantly update it to keep them all as sharp and crisp at higher resolutions as often as possible.

Super Retropie

Other than that I just recreate whatever I can’t find our source through the years.

Gorgeous theme @Super-Retropie...
Can I suggest adding Sesame Street and Metal Gear collections?
Also, can you add Japanese Mega Drive? the logo is different from the European version.
Thanks for considering

Ranma

Wow that is just lovely! Will it be possible to view more game details as in the Carbon theme? I'm currently using a slightly modified Carbon on my Mega Pi but would love to switch to this. Stunning work! VERY attractive indeed.

Super Retropie

@GeekOB I’ll add them this weekend with some updates 👍🏻

Super Retropie

@Ranma I'm not the biggest fan of too much game text etc on screen... I will consider it in future updates though

@Super-Retropie Can you transform this theme as a release for BATOCERA? BATOCERA is a fork of Recallbox and uses an advanced port of EmulationStation. With this port you can assign color themes and you can change all your different 5-6 themes you've done now to a single one.

Something like that

<subset name="colorset" displayName="${subset.colorset}">
    <include name="blue" displayName="${blue}">./art/colors/blue.xml</include>
    <include name="red" displayName="${red}"/>
    <include name="green" displayName="${green}">./art/colors/green.xml</include>
    <include name="yellow" displayName="${yellow}">./art/colors/yellow.xml</include>
    <include name="violet" >./art/colors/violet.xml</include>
    <include name="cyan" >./art/colors/cyan.xml</include>
    <include name="orange" >./art/colors/orange.xml</include>
  </subset>

If you want it can be added to BATOCERAs internal selection for theme download.
Thank you for a quick answer.

GeekOB

@Super-Retropie Also, may I suggest putting a thin white border around the blue-toned logos? some of them are hard to read against the blue shaded themes, especially the Commodore 64 one.
Thanks!

I really want to try these but they won't load. I have an Odroid XU4 with Retropie image by The Retro Arena. The folder I put these into is /home/pigaming/.emulationstation/themes. Other themes work fine so far, but not these. I get the following errors when selecting any Neon Overdrive theme:

mitu

@annunaki The ORA image probably includes an older EmulationStation version - ask the image authors to update it.

Super Retropie

@cyperghost I'm not terribly familiar with BATOCERA perosnally, but I will look into it.

Super Retropie

@annunaki You need to Update EmulationStation and the theme will work.

cyperghost

@Super-Retropie If you want to take a breeze of BATOCERA then join their discord channel

@f-caruso is also flying around in this channel and he is one of the main enhancers of BATOCERAs EmulationStation port.

Super Retropie

Updated the Game Selector scroll .wav file for something a tad sleeker and less annoying

annunaki

@Super-Retropie @mitu - not sure if I can with that image.

However, I am using these themes on the Retro Arena build for the Odroid Go Advance and I LOVE IT! Font for the games is a bit tiny, but certainly usable.

Thanks for truly gorgeous themes!

FYI, I'm now partial to the Super Retroboy theme on this smaller screen. MUCH easier to read text.
