New Comic Book Theme!
-
also i think i missed it before but whats the difference between
comicbook
and
comicbook - SE wheel art?
what does the SE wheel art actually add>? -
@serotonin SE stands for special edition. It is only for users that have wheel art or marquees scraped in their game lists for all games. It removes the classic system logo that appears over the top of the video preview in the gamelist view and instead shoes the wheel art.
-
ah its that for attract mode?
-
@serotonin No, its for EmulationStation. Its a slightly different Comic Book theme as TMNTturtlguy has stated. It displays Marquees/Game Logos where as the original Comic Book theme did not.
-
@serotonin Here is a graphic example, these are of the 4:3 version, but it is basically the same for the 16:9
Standard ComicBook Theme Nintendo Logo over image/video
ComicBook SE Wheel Art Batman Wheel Art over image/video
16:9 version of ComicBook SE Wheel Art over image/video
-
@tmntturtlguy The 16:9 version of ComicBook SE looks freakin awesome with the Wheel Art. Is Steven Selph's Scraper capable of adding those images to the gamelist file, or do I have to add them manually? I have the Wheel Art images already.
-
@beastmode thanks, i don't know if the scraper can add them in. I did them all manually, unfortunately. I don't have a huge game collection so it wasn't so bad.
-
@tmntturtlguy I'm in for quite a bit of editing then, dude lol.
-
@tmntturtlguy Is this the proper text to use in the gamelist file for your theme? If so, then it seems Steven Selph's Scraper is capable of adding the information to the file.

@beastmode sorry for the delayed response on this, for some reason it didn't show up in my notifications. Yes that is the proper line for the "Wheelart" in the SE version of the theme.
-
@serotonin i have just updated the theme to include amigacd32 per your request. The system background is the same as the regular amiga, but the comic logo is updated. Hope it works for you. I took the colors from the original console logo colors.
-
All, I have added amigacd32 system and I have changed the TMNT folder to now be tmnt. If you created a custom system using @meleu's script you will need to modify your es_systems.cfg to be lowercase. If you are using @pjft new build no modifications will be required after you update. This change was made to be inline with the new custom systems naming convention per @dmmarti thread here: themes custom collection standardized naming
-
This is great stuff! I haven't dabbled into custom theming yet. I am still using the standard Retropie Menus. I don't know how to get video previews and all that stuff yet, it doesn't seem very intuitive to acquire. Again, nice work!
-
Thanks so much. Ill download the update on my pi when I'm back home again ! Now everything will be in the awesome comic book font :)
-
@tmntturtlguy Cool Themes! Can i have the .PSD for the comic effect to make a wallpaper too?
-
@pittstone doesn't exist, the image is made up of 2 files one from photoshop and one from indesign along with filtering from Inkscape and compression from riot.
-
@tmntturtlguy Oh, O.k. Can i ask you, to make a Wallpaper for me?
I have made a Folder for SNES MSU-1 Games and it works great. Only a nice Wallpaper is Missing. I have a Logo, too!
-
How do I get NINTENDO HACKS and SUPER NES HACKS to show up in the theme?
-
@giga you need to add them to your es_systems.cfg
-
@pittstone it looks like you already have everything you need??? The black border is a seperate image file that will automatically be added by the theme. The dither comic effect can be added to the images in photoshop by using the pixel filter or in Inkscape using the newsprint filter. I used Inkscape and duplicate the image layer and place the newsprint filter with all angles at 15 degrees. You can play around until you get the desired effects.
