Pixel Theme

That did work but it zooms into centre of screen and not into the top right corner.

@a7mag3ddon Change the Emulation Station setting from fade to zoom under the UI section.

Oh I think it's doing it now.

Hey guys,

I added a set of SG-1000 roms, but can't see them. Is it on this theme systems ?

Amazing theme BTW. Thank you!

Nismo

@Rookervik can I modify your theme to make it compatible with video support (ES @fieldofcows fork) and upload here for you so you can add that version in your first post?

Rookervik

@Nismo That sounds fine. Thanks for asking. There are too many forks of ES right now, so I wouldn't be able to convert every theme for every fork available. Especially since I screw up my copy of RetroPie so easily. I'd never be able to install a different ES without totally botching my setup. :D

Rookervik

@virginsteele

Pixel supports sg-1000. You probably need to install an emulator for that system. RetroPie has been stripped down to only the most popular systems. The rest you must install separately.

Nismo

@Rookervik I have no problems with systems because i use windows... XD

So you mean that I have your permission to upload here a version compatible with ES video?

Rookervik

@Nismo

Yeah that's fine. You've made ES with video previews for Windows?

Nismo

@Rookervik It's made by @fieldofcows .

Here you have the theme: http://www.mediafire.com/file/39l5qlnz137c2ap/pixel_video.zip

@Rookervik You can update yourself the Pixel video theme easily to add new systems, only need to follow this simple steps:

Don't modify video view in pixel.xml.
In the theme.xml for a system, instead of use <view name="detailed"> use <view name="detailed, video">
In the theme.xml for a system, instead of use <image name="background" extra="true"> in <view name="detailed, video"> use <image name="background"> or <image name="background" extra="false">

That's all. Thanks for the theme and for give me permission to adapt it to ES with video preview support by @fieldofcows.

Regards.

PD: I'll upload a video this evening so you can see the result, i can't do it now because i'm a little bit busy.

Also take a look at my theme for ES with video support, it's WIP that's because i didn't open a thread about it yet.

Without system view sound but you can see gamelist changing games and tv effects.

With system view sounds and new system dreamcast:

New system Game boy:

Nismo

@Rookervik I forgot to add sounds for system change and gamelist, if you want i can upload a new version with sounds added quickly, and then you can change the wav files inside art folder for whatever you want, you tell me.

I forgot to say that if somebody doesn't want or doesn't like "marquees" (wheel art) simply don't add the marquues or rename marquees folder to other name like no_marquees. You will see this later in the video.

@Nismo
I like that the Game Boy has 4 buttons!

Nismo

@backstander shhhh don't say to anybody... XD

Didn't notice!! i'll fix in a new update, thx for the advice.

@Nismo, you might want to leave out the system change sound for now - this change is not included in the PR I've submitted to the RetroiPie ES. I'll submit that as a separate request later. Does the tag get ignored if ES doesn't support it?

Nismo

@fieldofcows no problem i'll wait then. But at least moving on gamelist sound it's already implemented.

Nismo

@Rookervik Here is the video that I promised you:

Pixel theme with video support.

@Nismo amazing job. How much work would it require to get it working with meta pixel?

Nismo

@ebtalk I don't know because i didn't take a look at metapixel code, but pixel theme takes to me about 45 min to make the changes to have video working...

Merry christmas.

Rookervik

I'm working on a fairly decent update to pixel. Working my way through the logo graphics right now. I'll get video previews incorporated when I release the update.

ebtalk

@Rookervik Thanks Rook. You do great work. Meta Pixel is by far my favorite theme right now.
