[New theme] playstation

@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.

@edmaul69 said in [New theme] playstation:

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.

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.

[lostless]

@edmaul69 Have fun. we can make this a joint venture. Cause those little icons are each unique (color design wise) out of only 6 basic shapes i made (so I'm a tad lazy). Too bad i will probably never see over half of them again as I don't use half the systems I made.

@edmaul69 How do games look on these crts?

[edmaul69]

@lilbud im not sure yet. I only have an rf coax cable at the moment while waiting on ebay. And when i had the pi hooked up i forgot to remove the crtpi shader. Doh!!

Anyone have an idea of when this theme will be officially released via the installer?

[lostless]

@aengeon i'm trying to figure out how to do a pull request. I'm new to git hub and lost. HELP!!??? Also I need to do an update. I've been fiddling with the theme after helping @edmaul69 with that Version that looks closer to an original ps1 menu. So I will probably release an update in the next 24 hours.

[edmaul69]

@lostless once you figure it out let me know so we can upload the crt version as well. The latest version i uploaded fixed the gamelist alignment to line up centered to the balls for the dithered backgrounds.

Hey all, I'm making the custom collection theme folder. What should the image be? Maybe a rack of game, pile of folders, I don't know? Taking advice or make your own and share.

[lostless]

Now released on the Es themes menu. Added the custom collection folder for when it is officially added.
@edmaul69 to add (I give you permission) 😄, you need to fork retropie-setup on github and edit the file. So go to retropies github and browse retropie-setup to scriptmodules/supplementary/esthemes.sh
There you see a list of users and theme names.
Hit the edit button, which will automatically fork a version for you, and add your user name and theme name. Save and it'll ask if you want to do a pull request with the original.
Thing is that the name of the theme must be
es-theme-themename. No -master. So reupload or see if you can rename the theme. I'll get you a low res of custom collections soon.

[edmaul69]

@lostless i will do that. Thanks.

[sergioad]

It looks NEAR perfect, I love it

[sergioad]

Downloading it

[lostless]

@sergioad NEAR???????????? You have issues?????? 😤....... 😜 In all seriousness , any suggestions?

[sergioad]

@lostless Hahaha any issue, only tha anything in this world is perfect at 100%, great work

[lostless]

@sergioad feel free to let me know if you're interested in any systems that may be missing. I'm doing them on kinda some person needs them basis.

[Aengeon]

I'm glad to see this finally hit the installer. It's hands down my favorite theme, being a PS fanboy and all.
I've been trying to think of something to do for the custom collection since I saw your post this morning, and I'm still at a stand still on original ideas.

[sergioad]

@lostless thanks

I found this to take screenshots, it works great.

Basically this guide will teach you how to set up Raspi2PNG, use a single command script
and set up a samba link to easily access those screen shots from a designated folder.

Step 1
First you need to get the program/dependency and compile the bin

sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev

git clone https://github.com/AndrewFromMelbourne/raspi2png
cd raspi2png
make

Step 2
Now you need to move raspi2png to your local bin and create a .sh script

sudo mv raspi2png /usr/local/bin

sudo nano /usr/local/bin/screenshot.sh

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/screenshot.sh

copy and paste this

#!/bin/bash
raspi2png -p ~/RetroPie/screenshots/$(date +%m%d%Y_%H%M%S).png

save by "ctrl + x" then "y"

Step 3
now to create screenshots folder and add samba link

mkdir ~/RetroPie/screenshots

sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

copy and paste this at the end of the file

[screenshots]
comment = screenshots
path = "/home/pi/RetroPie/screenshots"
writeable = yes
guest ok = yes
create mask = 0644
directory mask = 0755
force user = pi

Step 4
Restart Samba server and take your first screenshot

sudo service smbd restart

in terminal type

screenshot.sh

Step 5
Access your screenshots folder through samba

\retropie

or mac os x

smb://retropie

Step 6
Clean up left over folder

sudo rm -r ~/raspi2png
