Oldroom theme W.I.P. new 1.9 Beta + media packs
-
@Nismo Let me know what other stuff your missing and I can try to fill in your gaps.
-
@HurricaneFan Like I said before, I'm working in the theme right now, but when I resume my work making 3d boxes or marquees, I'll ask here if I don't find something. Thanks for the help.
-
@HurricaneFan I have an idea, I can upload or write here a list for marquees (wheel art) missed for one system, since there are a lot of systems with the same game, it's not so difficult to find the missing ones in other systems just doing a search for the name inside your ES folder.
That was my plan for missing marquees before making them by myself, but I don't have time right now, so people can help that way while I can spend more time on missed 3d boxes or the theme.
It only takes to me a minute to prepare one list of missing marquees for a system.
What do you think?
-
@HurricaneFan I do have both requested 3d boxart images. Will upload them to my google drive in a bit
-
@donkeykong Thanks, it doesn't matter if its in 3d or 2d, because i have to make it look the same than in the pack.
-
@donkeykong I was actually looking for the marquee image of both of those, not the actual box image.
-
@Nismo I am aiming to use it after you complete your magnific work, I am an end user so sadly I can not help you with this amazing theme in a high level, but I can help you in minor stuff; if you need help count with me
-
How is your theme coming along? Any chance to see an update today? Need help with something?
-
@Nismo if I can help call me too
-
@donkeykong Unfortunately, these days I have had some unexpected problems in my personal life, and the theme has been delayed longer than expected.
I hope to upload something today even if it is incomplete.
-
It's not finished but here you have.: http://www.mediafire.com/file/wp33pa361gj9bwx/Oldroom_1.9_Beta_1080_%26_720.zip
This is what I have.

Does anyone else has problems downloading image folders? It's super slow and always fails after 99% completion... In particular the gamegear and megadrive image folder. Tried it on different machines, at work and home, same issue. Maybe you reached the limit of your monthly mega.nz free account traffic.
EDIT: I fixed it by downloading the official mega firefox addon, weird eh? -
@donkeykong I don't know where are you downloading the files, but I didn't upload any megadrive folder for the theme yet.

Thanks for linking this progressive thread for me to follow... Can I ask a quick newb question? Does this completely remove the need for me to scrape? It looks like you're doing all the work and all I would have to do is download the bits for my particular setup and install it to match the same folder structure. Is this correct? How do you plan to accomodate people who are using GoodName sets instead of NoIntro? I'm using NoIntro, but my roms are somewhat modified from that because I built a fresh set in ClrMAMEpro to remove any duplicates. So now I just have 1 game 1 rom type setup, and things that are only available outside of USA are selected in priority from Europe, Austrailia, Japan, etc, in an attempt to get everything in English. I also have a few modified roms that have been translated, or hacked to provide alternate games (like the new Metroid Rogue Dawn game).
I guess what I'm getting at, is if the need to scrape is gone, how does somebody ADD missing artwork and metadata?
-
no idea if this has already been mentioned but I cant be bothered to read through all the comments. On the dreamcast image, you show box art for a megaman game. There was no offical megaman game on the dreamcast (sorry if im being picky). Really like the theme tho, Im guessing it can only have 10 systems before you get the white screen of death?
-
@trixta You won't have that problem if you "update from source" the latest version of Emulation Station. @fieldofcows had been working on a fix that I can now confirm (at least on my system) that it's working beautifully. I have 31 systems installed right now!
-
@hansolo77 Usually everybody have nointro romsets, so I made art with nointro names to fit with romset from the people.
Anyway, if you have nointro romsets you can also use my gamelist.xml if you want, or if you don't have your games scraped, but then you need to respect the paths for folders, or use a text editor to do a search and replace the paths.
If you have other romsets or filenames, then you need to use program like fatmatch to match the name of images and / or videos with your rom names and use your own gamelist with scraped metadata.
But all of this it's well explained on first post...
I'm scraping full romsets so if something it's missing it's because doesn't exist, anyway i'm taking some time building missing art not found on screenscraper or gamedatabase ( for example neo geo pocket).
@trixta like @hansolo77 told you, that problem it's fixed. If you read the credits, system art it's not mine, it's from litzoid (expet the one I created for atari lynx), I didn't pay attention to megaman but after a quick search on google it's a homebrew game for dreamcast named Mega man war of the past.

@Nismo Looking great!
-
Great work, thanks for that. Is there still a PSP (Playstation Portable) and NDS (Nintendo DS) section?
-
@Cybermen Not yet, i'm still working on the theme.
