      @Nismo That's all fair enough. I get my 3D boxes from screenscrape.fr using UXS, which are probably at least a little different from ones obtained from other sources.

        @mattrixk Most of my 3d boxes are from there.

          Weird, even with cordinates from theme helper I still just get squished and uncentered artwork.

            @duiz It's very strange, with maxSize the image keep the original aspect ratio, so maybe the original image is stretched?

            Can you upload the original 2d box image somewhere so I can download it for testing?

            I can help you with the coordenates for this system so you can have a reference point for other systems.

            @mattrixk I have edited my previous post to explain it better.

              Hi all, I have been using this theme for a while and it is great. Thank you for all the work put here so far.
              In my eyes it would be perfect with no meta information. I am toying with the code trying at least to get rid of the rating and last-played indicators without success.
              Can anyone please give a hint?
              Thank you in advance

                @mindel I was thinking in remove it for the next release, also metadata doesn't work for me in portable mode so I don't need it.

                Replace the file oldroom.xml inside oldroom theme folder with this one:

                http://www.mediafire.com/file/ssdccksyr1h8mil/oldroom.xml

                Regards.

                  @duiz Try changing "md_video" from <size> to <maxSize>. Sometimes "md_image" and "md_video" can sort of get "tangled" together (I can't think of another way to explain it).

                    That will ruins the theme, the video must fit inside tv screen.

                    It's working flawessly for me, but I din't update to the latest version yet.

                    I waiting for the 2d box image upload to see and test.

                          @Kischa I use windows version, so you have 2 modes, normal and portable mode, but there is a bug that break portable mode.

                          If you enable saving metadata on exit, emulationstation overwrites the relative paths with absolute paths for video and marquees tags on gamelist, and if you use your portable USB HDD in another computer, all videos and marquees are gone. (I don't remember well but I think image tags still untouched)

                          Maybe @jdrassa want to take a look at this. It's a known bug.

                              @duiz Seems that was a bug from the latest builds, I didn't have the latest build so that's because it's working for me.

                              See this thread: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/9261/bug-box-art-displaying-incorrect-size-the-first-time-i-enter-a-system?page=1

                              A fix will be released very soon.

                                  Did you update your gamelist.xml files to add video and marquees tags?

                                      In my snes folder, I have a gamelist.xml and a oldgamelist.xml after adding the script from your guide "https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/6589/easy-way-to-add-video-and-marquees-tags-in-your-gamelist-for-video-support"

                                          Download this file and replace the one inside oldroom folder.

                                          http://www.mediafire.com/file/ssdccksyr1h8mil/oldroom.xml

                                          You will see the players on bottom of gamelist. I think i'll leave it there for future updates.

                                          Enjoy.
