    @linuxarcadeguy Maybe our friend @Hex can take a look at it. Looks like he knows how to implement such feature:

      ha ha... fruitless, unintended pun...

      also WHY i LOVE the your theme for arcade or even a TV, it takes the reality out of the theme, all these themes with REAL console pics and whatnot, yours uses elements of the system designs themselves and puts it in a nice multi-cart 999-in-1 one interlace (pandora's box style) this idea hasn't really been done much before

        By the way, if you have a long enough video, you can make it hide the ES loading screen.
        I posted about it here:

          also @ruckage if you need i made hi-rez 4:3 screenshots with proper scanlines (phosphors) for the 4:3 version of your theme will send to you on your selected platform...

          also they are all title screens, no in-game shots

            You can turn off the splash screen. There is a command line parameter for that.

              Yep, just need to add the argument --no-splash when launching emulationstation. You just get a black screen instead.

                Not sure what you mean by 'proper' scanlines? Title screens are a bit redundant though with this theme as I have the game logo displayed above the screen shot so a gameplay shot makes more sense.

                  Yeah, that trick works great. I find on the raspberry pi 3 with a decently fast SD card (I'm using a Sandisk Ultra) the NeoGeo splash video I made is pretty much the perfect length. As soon as it finishes ES is ready to use, makes it pretty seamless.

                        Hi everyone,

                        I've just uploaded the first version of the theme for you try, sorry for taking so long but I re-worked a lot of theme to improve performance.
                        This first release only supports Neo-Geo and Capcom but I will be adding a general arcade system as well. I may also do some collection systems as that seems to make sense for this - eg. differrent genres such as 'fighting', 'shmup', 'platformer' .

                        I've also made changes to allow for different help system control schemes. So far it only has 'aes-controls' and 'arcade-controls'. These are more of a test at the moment as I don't know what control schemes people are using but I can easily add more if you request them.

                        To change the help controls to arcade open the settings.xml file and change the following line:

                        <include>./settings/aes-controls.xml</include>
                        

                        To:

                        <include>./settings/arcade-controls.xml</include>
                        

                        AES CONTROLS
                        0_1500762016386_neogeo aes controls.jpg

                        ARCADE CONTROLS
                        0_1500762024816_neogeo arcade controls.jpg

                        I've also uploaded all of the required assets - these are quite big files but they cover a huge portion of the arcade titles in mame so that when I add a general arcade section to the theme all the assets will ready for it.

                        Finally I've also uploaded the splashscreen video in 16x9 and 4x3 aspect ratios. They will be much higher quality than you would get from the youtube video I uploaded.

                        If you need any help then post here and I'll try to answer your questions.

                                  @ruckage one request: when you do categories, can you please include a "shooters" myself and many of my generation (40) are not a fan of the term "shmups"

                                          @ruckage neo-geo missing loading & marquees: bang bang busters (b2b), neo pong (neopong), poker night (poknight), bust-a-move 1&2 (us versions of jap games, as it wasnt know here as puzzle bobble until GBA i think) and the theme itself does not have a 4x3 layout just 16x9...

                                          svcsplus is missing too "SVC Super Plus" (Bootleg), instead its just a dupe artwork of "SVC Plus"

                                          "select a system" maybe not needed or when you do category labels obviously would be "select a catagory" i dunno... dealers choice...

                                          thanks again for all your hard work :)

                                          hope my feedback helps.
