Vintagic Theme

mattrixk

@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?

@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

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

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!

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

@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 ;)

@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

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!
