Retrorama Comic Theme

[lipebello]

@felleg i've never made a video before, but a lot of people are asking for a marvel intro to match the theme that i decided to make it. So i looked on some retropie intros on youtube and they all had almost a minute each.
I thought it was too long, since the marvel intro only have 35 seconds, so i make a 40sec intro, but i though that VHS overlay was so awesome, that i had to add it to the end, since the whole theme porpose is to be nostalgic.

any shot of colecovision making the list? and wanted to say you did an amazing job with this theme and intro.

[lipebello]

@8bithero Thanks! sure thing, i already have the drawings for colecovision made for the next update

[cyperghost]

@lipebello Can you add system custom-collectionsplease?
It's just so a lovely theme and it lacks support of the 4th auto-system :(

[lipebello]

@cyperghost Sure, but what it does? never knew that there was a 4th system on ES, thanks for letting me know

[HurricaneFan]

@lipebello It's a new feature coming soon that allows people to make custom game lists.

Like All Super Mario Bros games or All Mega Man games.

[cyperghost]

@lipebello Not now... it's just in testing branch :) But will hopefully released soon

[lipebello]

@hurricanefan, @cyperghost. That is awesome! i was doing manuallly to cps games and stuff. So, if i make a system called "mario" and make a collection named "mario", it will show, but if i don't have a system with that name, it will show the custom-collections instead?

@lipebello Not yet, but it is the goal of the current @pjft work (more info in that thread @cyperghost linked above).

[HurricaneFan]

@lipebello The beta build does exactly what you described. If you create a collection from a theme folder it will link your folder to the new collection. If you don't have a folder you want to link, you create a collection that shows up in Custom Collections which is probably going to be named "Collections" once its released.

It might be a week or two before it gets merged into the master branch of EmulationStation.

Any chance of a Coleco and ZX Spectrum artwork?

--Looks like Coleco is coming up now that I read, any ideas why I get white screens looking after opening a system?

this is what happens

--more edits, looks like I fixed it by expanding the memory to the gpu

[lipebello]

@zeroclash you can also set the vram to 80 to make es read all the images.
Colecovision and ZXSpectrum will be on the next update.

@meleu, @HurricaneFan , nice! next update on ES will be awesome!

[zeroclash]

@lipebello thanks, I'm loving your theme

[twd]

Anyone else having a whitey with this theme on a pi zero? Thought I borked my whole system so started a fresh clean install , updated rp script , installed the theme via Es menu. And Its whitey again. Is there somthing I am missing

[HurricaneFan]

@twd Maybe change your vram settings?

[twd]

@hurricanefan nope up or down makes no difference, shame as it's a nice theme. Hmmm have retropie changes how they handle Es themes as none of the new themes work but old ones do.

[jdrassa]

@twd sounds like you may need to update ES.

[Hex]

@twd Can you show what you see , Post your es_settings file and ES version ?

[twd]

@hex I just done a fresh install and retropie script update. So it should be upto date. I just switched it back on tried it again , switching into a Megadrive game comes up with some text quick about the theme and zindex? Cannot access files atm as I am on a iPad. Try post them up soon

[meleu]

@twd said in Retrorama Comic Theme:

retropie script update.

This isn't enough to update EmulationStation. It does what it say it does: update RetroPie-Setup script.
