Mega-Tech theme for Sega based builds
-
Finally got some time to put it on my pie, it looks amazing thank you for sharing.
-
@ruckage I'd love to check this out, but it looks like the download isn't working for some reason? The link is functional, but the file fails to download. Looks like a problem with mega. Any chance of a reup to a different host please?
-
Not sure what happened with that file, strange. I've re-uploaded it and the link in the first post should now work.
-
@ruckage Works perfectly now, thank you!
Incidentally, thanks also for your nes and snes mini themes. They're fantastic. Is there any chance we might see a 'mega drive mini' style theme in the future?
Thanks for all your contributions!
-
Love, love, LOVE this theme, thank you so much! Between this and mini-snes, I felt compelled to send a donation your way!
I just got my RetroPie connected to my CRT, and I'd love to see a 240p-compatible version of this! But like you said, I know it'd be a lot of work for very few users, so no worries either way!
Once again: THANK YOU!

:D thank you very much, I really appreciate that.
There may be a 240p version at some point. It should kind of work as it is but the main issues will be more due to the 4:3 aspect ratio rather than the resolution itself.

This theme looks great! I actually grew up a Sega kid and didn't own a Nintendo system until the N64 so this theme really appeals to me. If only I trusted retroflag more I would probably buy their megadrive pi case and use this theme. I have been using your snes theme and have been teaching myself Photoshop to fill in the systems you haven't finished yet (for my own personal use of course). Though they aren't nearly is good as yours. Anyway, always look forward to what you come up with next! Great work man!
-
@ruckage interested on adding this theme to your GitHub so it can be added to RetroPie's
esthemes
system? :) -
I was looking at Super NT & really like the simple menu. I rearranged some stuff and delete all the icons on this theme to make something similar to the Super NT. I got stuck with line height & stuff and I don’t know the fonts that Super NT is using, maybe custom one?
This is where I am so far.
Anyone Know what font the Super NT use? Or something similar. 😅

Some addons: ScummVM

Thanks for the replies. I need to make a couple of small modifications before I can release but will do so soon.
@linuxarcadeguy said in Mega-Tech theme for Sega based builds:
@ruckage Please include a 5:4/4:3 version of the theme
Not a simple task unfortunately, the theme is just not well suited to a 4:3 or 5:4 version so I would have to redesign pretty much the whole theme to fit those aspect ratios which is a lot of work and I'm not convinced it's worth the effort for the small number of people who would use them. If there is a lot of interest then maybe but certainly not when it's first released.
Would it help if i send you my files of my 4:3 version of your theme? (It's a WIP)

4:3 version:

@ruckage Let's see if you are still around. Any chance you still have the mega-tech theme available? The ancient Mega-link is broken.
