Vintagic Theme

[virginsteele]

Hi all!

Just added a new system to the vintagic theme - Gameboy Advance

[tronkyfran]

This is amazing. VERY nice work.

@virginsteele
Does your theme support the "new" system carousel themeing already? or is it planed

[Syhles]

This theme is really nice I'll make sure to try it out when more systems are added, hate using themes that don't support the systems I'm using.

Looking forward to watching this theme progress.

I have to say the gameboy advance is my favorite so far, except i don't like the luigi rating. Great job though.

@virginsteele Seriously cool. I love the Gameboy especially.

One question, 3 of the images have "rating, players, genre, dev", except Neogeo which has "players, rating, genre, dev". Any reason this one has a different order?

[virginsteele]

@DarkWolf Hey, I did not know there was a new carousel system !? how do I get it ?

[virginsteele]

@mattrixk Hi, I didn't plan any order...

@virginsteele
You can look into this "demo" file:

You can also look into my updated version of the NBBA theme here (some pictures included):

Very, very nice - great idea to have each one themed around the box style, really makes it stand out from what is becoming a very crowded 'marketplace' - will definitely give it a go when it is finished

[Darksavior]

So how do you get the HD box art? I don't believe the site sselph's scraper uses has any hd box art.

[CodeDrawer]

Might I ask, how do I get that theme? I LOVE it!

[DarkWolf]

@CodeDrawer You can download the current version on his website:
http://thepixelhand.com/retropie/

Scroll down a bit until you see "Download Vintage SD" and "Download Vintage HD" and choose the one you want

@virginsteele Really nice work, love the design!

[AndersHP]

Wow, this is amazing!
Now I regret that my bartop arcade holds a 4:3 screen....

[screech]

@Darksavior don't know what you call "HD box art".
But If you use ScreenScraper option on SSelph's scraper, you have access to pretty nice resolution cover :

Exemple :

even on old system :

@virginsteele Very Nice Theme by the way ;)

[Darksavior]

@screech That isn't hd, but I tried the theme since those pics you posted don't look too bad. Well, the console ones anyways. The arcade box art looks horrible:)

[CodeDrawer]

I'm installing it today! <3

[NYIslanders91]

I love this

Hi all, thanks for the comments.
As for my own retropie, I recommend if you want high quality HD resolutions for your boxes, http://www.thecoverproject.net/ has amazing set of NES and other systems boxes. I downloaded them all.

For arcade, I recommend: Flyer museum, and flyer fever

When you see those box scans, trust me you'll understand why I have so much space on my themes for the box arts!
