Vintagic Theme

@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.

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!

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 :

@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:)

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!

New system added. N64.

Cocoon!? The movie that celebrates the very existence of both Wilfred Brimley and Steve Guttenberg? You sir are a madman and a scholar. Well done!

Edit: Please tell me there's a '*batteries not included' splash screen around the corner.

virginsteele

@mediamogul hehe! good idea!

Congrats, man, your theme is awesome! I'm using (and loving) it right now.

I think (and please, that's only my opinion, don't be upset) the "system" screens aren't working in harmony. So, I've changed that screens with Ryokai arts from Deviantart. Here are some background examples:

Ryokai's wallpapers fits like a glove with you Vintagic theme.

Thanks, and keep the good work! ;)

@virginsteele These are gorgeous! 🤤 Love the individual styles you've gone with here. Will you be planning on adding video preview support by any chance?

HurricaneFan

@virginsteele Yeah, video previews would make this the best theme out there.
