Download this file and replace the one inside oldroom folder.

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

Enjoy.

This theme is exactly what I'm looking for. It looks great and it appears lots work is going on in this space. Thanks @Nismo and everyone who's contributed. Before I download and get started tinkering I'm just curious if there is an update coming really soon? I'd like to make sure I have the latest before getting started.

Nismo

@zmanz the latest one it's on first post, I fixed some things and added some systems time ago, but not uploaded yet because I need to resize the backgrounds in 1080p and 720p and I want to add some more system and upload some videos.

I have been in the hospital, I have had surgery recently and now I am taking rest, that is why I have not been able to update this thread.

regards.

Hello,
I don't know why but I can't get SNES system rom list to work properly. I don't have videos and the interface is not the right one. I've removed all theme and gamelist files but it's not working.
What can I do ?
Thank you :-)

Thank you all for your support, you are great.

@arzhur-p

I'm struggling with this theme. I have the latest version of all the software on retropie and I have added the roms to the roms folder under home/pi/RetroPie/roms and it shows the system with the correct background. When I go to the system (e.g nes) to view the games its only showing the background image and layout from the art folder not the correct system folder. I see from your original post to put everything under the .emulationstation/roms folder but if I do this the system doesn't show up at all. Please help as I really want to get this sorted. Thanks

Also I'm not sure if its Mega that's having problems but most files from the media pack stop at 99% and the download is really slow. I have checked my internet connection and its fine and I can download other files from my cloud drive on mega and I get full speed and it downloads fine.

I always need to wait after mega download completion because it need to decrypt the files ;-)
Maybe you should wait longer ?

pootis spencer

@arzhur.p No its not that. I use jdownloader and it most stop at 98 - 99%

I don't understand you very well, can you post some screenshots? You mean you don't see the tv? Do you have video files in the right folder? Have you updated your gamelist to support that videos?

arzhur.p

@pootis-spencer Well in that case I can't help you, everything works for me :/
Maybe @Nismo can upload the theme somewhere else

@Nismo
Ok let me try to explain this in detail...
The System select screen (NES, SNES, ATARI2600 etc) works fine and shows the correct background (the one that shows the details about the hardware etc for the system).
The problem I am having is the correct location of the files for the system screen like ATARI2600. All its showing is the games list. No correct background image or TV screen or video etc.

I have my folder layout as follows:
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/atari2600
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/atari2600/images
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/atari2600/marquees/
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/atari2600/videos/
gamelist.xml
xxx.zip
xxx.zip

The theme is in the correct folder located at:
/etc/emulationstation/themes/oldroom 1080p/

Whats bugging me is all the systems have the correct folder layout with the gameslist.xml in the correct location but only Atari2600 and Sega Master System shows correct with the TV and video, background and marquee.

I hope this explains it.
