Pixel Theme

@backstander Aight, PCE-CD is finished. On to MVS before I zip it all up.

Thanks @Rookervik the logo looks great!

Perhaps later on we can buy Buzz some beers and rub elbows and see if we can just get the folders. Or perhaps a script that we could run that would add the folders and the system entries to the es_systems.cfg. Then we can just add our roms to either PC-Engine or TurboGrafx and they would be assigned to that theme without any editing on the command line.

I'm okay with the option to add these manually but having them a single folder by default. Personally I really enjoy editing es_systems.cfg to have the split directories.

@Rookervik said in Pixel Theme:

Turbo Grafx already has a section in Pixel. TGCD as well.

Oh I just figured out why I thought the Pixel theme didn't have TurboGrafx CD, the Carbon theme's directory is "tg-cd" and Pixel's directory is "tgcd".

Rookervik · 26 Oct 2016, 20:26

@backstander That's a really good catch. I need to make sure it's the same as Carbon. Let me make that change before I upload this.

Rookervik · 26 Oct 2016, 20:31

Ok, made the change to Turbo Grafx CD; made the Pixel directory reflect Carbon's "tg-cd" so now you don't need to edit your es_systems.cfg. Thank you very much for bringing that up.

And with that, Pixel goes to v1.92 with SNK NeoGeo MVS and PC Engine CDROM. Download updated on the main post. (up there at the top, or I guess here. Hang on let me get the link again.)

Thanks @Rookervik great work but I found another small issue. Carbon has "pce-cd" and Pixel has "pcecd".

Also I didn't realize you had Pipplware support! That's awesome! I've been wanting to give Pipplware a try!

Rookervik · 26 Oct 2016, 23:25

@backstander Pipplware is, sadly, now obsolete. There hasn't been an update since RetroPie 3.7. And trying to update your Pipplware distro with RetroPie 4.0.3 doesn't work too well.

I'll jump in and change PCE-CD as well. Thanks for this diligent bug checking. I can draw these stupid graphics, but I have terrible organizational skills.

UPDATE: Ok, it's updated. Didn't bother making a new version. Just re-download the same link and it will have the fixed PC Engine folder. Thank you again. :D

Guh. I know I promised this like 6 months ago. Almost done.

Rookervik · 30 Oct 2016, 18:47

Been a long time coming. I am sorry it took me forever. Pixel theme with metadata... instead of system art and information. I made the screenshot/boxart smaller and brought the bar up to make more room for metadata. All tags are included for all of you lovely OCD people. :P

@Rookervik I wish I had a more efficient way of utilising assets for different ES theme varyations. There are a bunch of themes and variations from you that get lost in the weeds perhaps I should set up a few more repos...

Rookervik · 30 Oct 2016, 18:54

@herb_fargus Eh, everyone wants something different from a theme. I don't have too many. Luminous, Luminous Mini, Pixel, Pixel TFT, Pixel with Metadata... isn't that it? Really just 2 themes with a couple variations. And from what I know, only Pixel is available in the downloader isn't it? People can just get them on the forum.

herb_fargus · 30 Oct 2016, 18:55

@Rookervik Perhaps. well I may set up a few of them on github just so I don't lose track of them if that's cool with you.

Rookervik · 30 Oct 2016, 18:58

@herb_fargus yeah, that's fine. I should probably think about setting up a site or something for my various customizations. Different themes, splash screens, movies, runcommand screens, kodi art, stuff like that.

But in case we're too far off topic, Pixel now has a meta data version. Check a couple posts above, or the main post at the top for a download link. Let me know if it's not lined up or something. And "not lined up" I mean really far off. Haha. Metadata is a B to align in ES.

Any plans to support emulationstation-kids?

Love you work and pixel is the theme i install everytime :)

Rookervik · 30 Oct 2016, 22:05

@Rion Carbon has support for ES-kids but it didn't work from what I was told. The author of that version of ES never got back in touch with me so there's no way I know of to get it working. :(

mattrixk · 31 Oct 2016, 02:20

@Rookervik: Pixel with metadata? Woo! This makes me happy!

@Rion: I created MetaPixel based on Rook's original Pixel theme because I liked it but wanted metadata. I also wanted something that worked with Zigurana's child-friendly ES, so I got that working too.

Rookervik · 31 Oct 2016, 02:24

@mattrixk You'll have to give me a little insight with the child friendly. Zigurana said that Carbon's child-friendly icons weren't showing up even though I followed the instructions from his thread. But then he never got back in touch with me. So I'm in the dark. Especially not having child friendly available

mattrixk · 31 Oct 2016, 02:47

@Rookervik I can have a bit of a play with the Pixel theme and let you know how I go. No guarantee on when though. We just back from holiday and the house is a mess, lots of washing to do etc. It will be while before I get some time to myself.

Rion · 8 Nov 2016, 12:51

@Rookervik

We are missing the European "Sega Mega-Cd Model 1 & 2" from Pixel theme. :)

And Sega-CD Model 2 with is the same as Sega Mega-Cd but with the name Sega-CD on top.

Rookervik · 8 Nov 2016, 15:25

@Rion Man, sounds like you need to start drawing some pixel art! Let me know how it goes! :P
