Great theme, really awesome! And thanks for Lite version! I miss some systems, for example, I have separated MSX1, MSX2 and MSX+ and I have separated "Amiga600", "Amiga600" and "Amiga1200", I took MSX and rename to MSX1, but I miss "MSX2+", "MSX TurboR", "GX4000", "Amiga500", "Amiga600" and "Amiga1200", I have logos and other media for all this systems (and more), but the awesome backgrounds are far of my design skills.

@claudiomet Answer me to myself: I added missed systems downloading videos from launch box and usin vector logos from another themes, now only miss Amiga CDTV because there are no video on launchpad downloads.

Edit: Added CDTV!

Coleco works > es_systems.cfg <theme>coleco</theme>
And I made fast backgrounds for port and retropie:

Hi everyone,
I'm using Recalbox 7.1.1 on a X64 laptop.
I've understood i need to install a special version of emulatiostation to make it work on Recalbox. But i don't know how and if i can with the device/OS i use. I would appreciate a little help from someone.
Thanks.

@mamoles Recalbox, AFAIK, uses a builroot based Linux, which can't be modified - so you can't install new applications and their EmulationStation fork is specifically designed to work for their system. Replacing their version of EmulationStation is not feasible.
If you don't want to use RetroPie, then you can try Batocera, I think their version of EmulationStation might be compatible with this theme and the OS is closer to Recalbox than Retropie.

I've installed the Nostalgia Lite theme on my Retropie. So far, everything seems working fine except the Colecovision section doesn't display properly. I've attached an image here of what it looks like vs how another console that is displaying correctly looks.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what I could do to get Colecovision to display correctly?

@zzackk Thanks, but I'm not sure I understand. Is this a file I need to create? Or should it already exist and I just need to add that line?

ZzackK

@jplank
you must edit file.
location is explain here:

@GeekOB and @Frakatchoo

Great work on this theme! Looks amazing and by far my favorite from anything I've seen online.

I just built a new RetroPie on a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 4GB and wanted to showcase the work @GeekOB did on getting this to run on a RetroPie / RPi.

It looked great! ... but I had some issues with it loading the background screen files for each system and it just overall ran a little sluggish for me. Looking at this thread, it seemed like I may not be the only one experiencing that.

I took a look and noticed the those PNG files seemed to be pretty big - each coming in (on average) over 1mb. I went ahead and compressed those images down - about 50% each and tried it again and it runs much better! Hard to tell a difference with the compression and the theme now runs much snappier on my setup.

For anyone else wanting to give this incredible theme a go on a similar setup (Retropie on RPi 4 B 4GB) here is a link to download the compressed background files:

Download is just shy of 50mb.

Simply replace the files in the /_assets/backgrounds folder and go it go!

Thanks again, everyone!

@GeekOB @Frakatchoo

Thanks for the best theme ever for ever. I use the lite version.

For one System i don't have a logo. For my computer starting project: Commodore VC 20 (in america called VIC 20.

I uae the background from c64, because the vc 20 looks like c64.

But i don't get a vc20.svg
My drawing skills are to bad.

Is someone here, that can create one for me?

Best Regards,
SierraFOOL

Is it possible, that i can view the filename of the game in the details of a game on the right side, under rating or the other facts? Some games, i have 3 or 4 versions of the game, because another language versions...

That's not theme issue. Theme only reads filenames or gamelist.xml. When you scrape games, confgure your scraper to add suffix to the game name (you can do this using Skraper to generate gamelist and download artwork)
