Background images, coming back!!!
-
My god these are beautiful, tronkyfan. I especially love the living room atari. <3
-
@UDb23 Sure I can do the backgrounds like that, but people will have to adjust perspective on video and images, it wont be an easy task. Ill take a look on the contrast and brightness thing because Its a big problem...thanks a lot for your comments!!!
@Rookervik
Sadly, I have to put Nostalgy theme progress on standby. Its well on its way but I have too much work( besides of my 8 eight day job and child, wife,etc...), and this is really time consuming. I dont want to release it before being ready, so Ill have to wait to march-april holidays to work on it. I'll get some images of controllers ( and hopefully @elgarlic more systems like those you suggested) done till then, because I can make them faster but that is all. Sorry!!!!
:(
PD: @elgarlic I think there is some AWESOME work being done about the white screen of death and memory problems and this will be soon a gone problem !!!! :D :D :D :D -
@tronkyfran Yes, I've just found the WSOD fix and everything is fantastic now. :) I've put some HD closeup photos of the consoles I mentioned (google image search) as placeholders for now. Looking forward to your future updates!
-
@tronkyfran Is there a way for me to test your new theme?
-
Not yet, I'm thinking about releasing the base images for every system and game selection in psd(with zones for screenvideo and game art )as suggested by @UDb23, just in case someone wants to get into the theme "business" with them(and reducing my responsability that way :P), but I'm still not sure about that.
-
@herb_fargus You guys should really consider a patreon. I proudly support Libretro's, and I would also proudly support yours.
-
@tronkyfran Your renders are really amazing. If you don't mind me asking, what software/plugins do you use for modeling and rendering?
-
I use 3dsmax as main 3d software and corona renderer, although Im seriously considering make the transition to blender and make the pipeline totally opensource, but it depends on the amount of time I can spend on it ;)
About the Patreon thing.... I've got a job right now and dont need it a lot, but if I get unemployed again...who knows. I'm from Spain and money is not exactly "our thing" right now xD.
In any case if you ask me Retropie as a project should get that money before some theme or image maker, but thanks for your support, its really nice to me!!! :D -
@tronkyfran I'd love to play with what you've come up with. This looks amazing!

Telemach 200 : Atari, Msx, Amstrad, Spectrum +2/+3, PC... version
My first controller, I used it with my amiga 500. I think its a spanish made controller, and dont know if it was sold worldwide or not, so dont know if it could be of use for somebody ;)
-
@tronkyfran Still interested in releasing your psd files? I'd be interested in converting this to a working theme.
-
@tronkyfran Also have another question for you, did you have background images for your tronkyfran theme for the following systems: Sega 32x, Virtual Boy, Neo Geo Pocket?
-
Sure I can release the psds, do you need them all? I can upload every system to the same github, but give me some time ;)
Youll maybe need some photoshop plugin like Frischluft Depth of field, by the way.
I have not those systems done yet, sorry, some day Ill get there!!! -
Can you redraw this image? I think that it does not look very good.
Gameboy & GBC, for example, looks amazing.
But the GBA looks like a toy. :с
I will be most grateful! -
For example, this image looks more good, but it is flat.
Anyone can do it?
PS - Forgive me if I offended someone.Aloha from Russia, and sorry for my bad English. ¯\(ツ)/¯

@frgn Wow. I think the yellow GBA image you referenced looks fantastic compared to the red one.
-
I can see how there is a little room for improvement in the GBA's Nintendo logo and the bevel, but in general the current one still looks very good. Every time I see the GB (especially the screen) and GBC, I'm impressed. The first time I saw the latter, knowing nothing about this project, I just assumed it was a great photograph.
If we're okay with submitting (very polite and grateful) suggestions about the renders, I might respectfully mention the Dreamcast one. It does look nice, but the shape is a bit less accurate than some of the other amazing renders (unless it's a regional or prototype console I'm not remembering). Anyway, I wouldn't say it is bothersome in the least, and keep up the great work. :)
-
I accept all the suggestions and crítics, dont worry ;)
I know that there are systems with better quality than others,(especially the dreamcast, some Atari...), but when I get to work on this I think Ill focus on new systems and controllers, sega32, virtual boy megacd, etc...Revisit older pictures is not very appealing yo me right now.
The good thing is that everything is uploaded and anyone can try to get something better with not too mucho effort. That would be awesome!!! -
-
@tronkyfran Superb work!!! I've updated it. The only one missing seems to be Game and Watch, it doesn't matter I'll build it with your previous 720p image.
Good Work!! :D
