[ES Theme] OmegaDrive (updated to v 1.4)
-
@harshl hey I'm sorry you are having issues. I just ran into a similar issue trying to run my theme on Windows ES at 4K resolution. For whatever reason, I think it's memory related, ES crashes when you try to load the theme at 4K. If you happen to have your pi 4 running at 4k that may be the culprit.
-
@Arcanthur It is hooked to a 4K TV. I will try and increase the memory limit and see if that helps at all. Let me know if I can test anything for you.
Thanks!
-
@harshl check that RetroPie isn't running at 4K. If it is, change it to 1080p.
-
@Arcanthur Changed it to 1080p 60hz and all is well. No more crashing.
Thanks! -
@harshl awesome, glad to hear that fixed it for you!

-
I have to say @Arcanthur, I really admire your dedication to creating completely custom screens for each individual system. It must be a huge amount of work.
I tend to get lazy and only make one screen that can be used for each system, and just changing the logo.
-
@mattrixk Thanks! Yeah, I started the project almost a year ago. I went through several iterations to get it to where I now have a workflow that doesn't take me forever for each system.
-
@Arcanthur Nice. I used that have a somewhat decent setup with testing area and github, a place for completed themes and place for WIP themes...
I've gone through a couple of computers/motherboards/whatevers since then, and now everything's a mess. I can't find any of the original files for many of the things I was working on. I need to basically do a full refresh, get everything sorted again, but it's a big job.
-
Sent you some stuff @Arcanthur !
-
that theme is awesome, do you plan to add AMSTRAD CPC 464 (green screen) support?
-
Damn @Arcanthur ... The BEST theme ever made, looks AMAZING, congrats, great work !!! (tested on Retropie, Batocera and Recalbox, in this last two systems with some minor modifications and all OK), some ideas.
Can you make a generic bezel based on this theme? (I have a Sony Trinitron bezel for all systems, but with a bezel based on this theme, the entire system will more visually consistent), and a theme based ES loading screen and game loading screen will be excellent too!
I miss Atari 8-bit and MSX computer systems, but i understand that is work in progress.
-
I will have to use this on my new pi4 build. Got it in one of those new nespi4 cases. Great work!
-
I know that is a WIP, but I miss some iconic vintage microcomputer systems: Atari 8-bit and MSX (1 and 2)
-
Love this, thanks for all the time you spent getting it to us. Your attention to detail is AMAZING.
As for development, i would like to suggest/request support for custom collections, and also for "Daphne".
-
@claudiomet Thanks!, I'll be working on those things (bezels and loading screens) after the theme is done.
-
CHANGELOG 1.4
Systems added:
- Sega Saturn (Black and White variants)
- Apple II
- Amstrad CPC 464
- Atari 800
- Microsoft MSX
- Microsoft MS-DOS
-
@gomisensei Thanks, Daphne will be in the next update. I'll work on collections after I finish all the main systems.
-
Very cool @Arcanthur , did you have a chance to check the sample I sent you?
