[New theme] playstation

@edmaul69 what do you need. Weekend is coming up. :D

[edmaul69]

@lostless so have a few more systems than originally thought, but here is my list of missing systems:

Apple ii
Channel f
Commodore 64
Famicom disk system
Odyssey
Supergrafx
Capcom (not all themes have this but several do as it is getting more common to use fba for neo geo and capcom only)

[lostless]

@edmaul69 I made a supergrafx folder. It's called sgfx. Rename the folder to what it needs to be. I'll have to look how the carbon theme calls it.

[edmaul69]

@lostless i believe it is supergrafx

[lostless]

New update. new systems added. helping finish the theme for @edmaul69 . download new on GitHub.
sorry I didn't get to CAPCOM yet. That will have to be custom. When you say odyssey, is it the odyssey 2?

[edmaul69]

@lostless yes. Odyssey 2. My bad. Thank you.

[edmaul69]

@lostless also for capcom i only need the system.png. I dont need an image. Hope you read my posts on fixing your controller issues.

[lostless]

@edmaul69 ok, I'll get you those 2 after work. As far as the controller issue, it's been fixed. I updated the retropie script, and all is well.

[edmaul69]

@lostless good to hear my friend. At least for us pi-station owners we didnt need two controllers to use controller 2.

[lostless]

@edmaul69 download and reinstall. I hope thats all the systems for you. You can also let me know if anything is broken as I have not tested any of the new systems.

[edmaul69]

@lostless will do. Thank you.

@lostless i really hope this doesnt upset you, as it is not my intention. sooo ive been busy the last couple days. i have created a 640x480 / 320x240 version of your theme for the crt guys as long as you are ok with it. i removed all of your images except for your system.png files. i used screenshots from the web and with a lot of cutting, pasting and pixel, pixel, pixel and theme editing it finally came to fruition. i only have 3 background images. no floating images at all. if this is released i would like to consider it a co authored or you can stay listed as the only author. doesnt really matter to me. you are the one that spent forever making the logos. the crt guys get screwed on the pi since they get stuck using bland tft themes to be able to read anything. plus i wanted it for me too as i absolutely love the ps1. anywho here are screenshots. the bottom ones are in 240p on a crt. the crt images are a little dark as it is nighttime here and this tv is in my sun room. iphone takes horrid pics of a crt using an rf cable since my other cables havent shown up yet. it looks like a real ps1 in person.

@edmaul69 edit all you want. plus over the vast majority of images were from other themes that its seems we all use as theme makers. i found the exact ones online searching. LOL. My suggestion, don't make the non selected icons shrink so much. And the large one looks too big. Maybe experiment with 2 on screen and move them left a tad. Looks good. if you want to release it, just credit me for the paint splatters.

Oh and on the game screen, maybe swap the games and logo. Just make sure to change the one for retropie as that has the config image that lays ontop of the game file. so check out that xml file as well.

Is this your first time, like me, messing with themes?

[edmaul69]

@lostless how do you adjust the shrinkage. I used your theme as the base and didnt adjust that. I would love to make them bigger.

[edmaul69]

@lostless i actually made seperate config and game backgrounds with the names as a part of the image. I will swap them though. I thought about that before. Wont take much to swap though.

No this isnt my first theme. I have done quite a bit of stuff over the past few years. Im not familiar with a lot of the new changes with es themes though.

I signed up to github but could not figure out how/where to upload anything. Maybe because i was on my phone.

<feature supported="carousel">
   <view name="system">
      <carousel name="systemcarousel">
        <type>vertical</type>
        <pos>0.00 0.020</pos>
        <size>0.400 0.92</size>
        <logoScale>1.2</logoScale>
        <logoSize>0.25 0.1</logoSize>
        <color>00000000</color>
        <maxLogoCount>3</maxLogoCount>
      </carousel>

see logo size. It means it will use up to 25% of the screen x axis and 10% Y. The Y wins. The logo scale is how much it will grow. 1.2 is 120% bigger than that main setting. put it at 1 and it will not shrink or grow. I don't know if you can disable the opacity.

@edmaul69 git hub is easy if you have the app on your computer. I just have the folder on my computer, open the git hub app and anything thats been changed it recognizes and asks me if i want to commit my changes with a description on them and then once i do that, i hit sync. Haven't done it with the website.

[lostless]

@edmaul69 maybe shrink the x size to 0.33 and see if that works. that'll make it not go past 1/3 the screen.

you went the route i did before i decided to make it all scaleable.

[edmaul69]

@lostless so i had made the carasoul logo bigger to be readable on a crt, but it didnt make the other 2 logos bigger at all. Not sure why. I will try shrinking. I already fixed the logos on top for games and configuration so all i need to do is mess with the carousel.
