@BKCoder WOW. I love this.

Any details that you are willing to post would be great. Either about Software setup, physical hardware, or design ideas.

Thanks for the post.

@kiro

Great !
I loved the Amiga too.
The latest Amiberry is quite good though, definitely need to play it more often ;-)

@StonedEdge use the old trick of storing the characters in the Font rom, like old Japanese computers did (MSX/NEC PC88/NEC PC98/Sharp X68000). Of course, the display may not have the resolution, but it would be a neat trick.

any chance of sharing this theme as it looks perfect for the cocktail table image i'm creating.

@mitu Yes thanks, zIndex 31 on the image works.

reserved/WIP (just in case),please proceed!

@TMNTturtlguy Late to party but just wanted to thank you for the hard work. This blends perfectly with your theme which is by far, the best one IMHO. Both versions run perfectly on my Raspberry 400 but I did run it through Handbrake to dumb down the gain. A little too loud for my tastes. Thank you again!

My question do you think the RPi4 handle the additional screen?

Yes, it should work fine.

@PaBLoNeKeN So if you click the link it fails, but if you right click and copy link, then paste into address bar it will start the download.

Thank you guys. They do look awesome dont they.

Here's some pics of my cocktail arcade - I am no carpenter and messed up on the corners but overall satisfied with how it turned out!

@mcjacksebastian

It looks like I hardly look here anymore either xD

If you still have the design for your PCB, I'd love to see a copy of it :D

@GregLove Sorry for the late answer, I missed the notification about your post.

Alas, I can't give you my artwork, and it's not vectorized anyway, but you could check out https://www.arcadeartwork.org.

I love this theme and use it primarily. It has an adult, clean, and professional feel. Perfect for my home arcade! Thank you!

Hi @dookieshooter,

Apologies for late reply. I didn't have notifications on and have been busy with other things.

@dookieshooter said in Tronkyfran Dark plus:

is it possible to get videos to play in grid view?

As far as I know it is not possible to have videos in grid view, unless any dev update has been done on the RetroPie EmulationStation Repo to add this feature to EmulationStation as the original is not maintained anymore. If you've found a way I am interested as well to incorporate this in GridView

@dookieshooter said in Tronkyfran Dark plus:

is it possible to remove the detail window ( I assume that I can just remove that from the theme The dimming of the non selected games is a little aggressive. Possible to change that behavior?

Both are Possible for 1, in the "main" Theme.xml you'll have to remove all unwanted tags/elements within the <view name="system"> </view> tags.

For the grid non selected games dimming you can adjust backgroundEdgeColor

<gridtile name="default"> <backgroundEdgeColor>000000BB</backgroundEdgeColor> </gridtile>

The 000000 is HEX code for black the BB is code for the alpha channel. You can change this to whatever you like to get another (even colored) dimming effect. See here for some more explanation on HEX with Alpha.

This is was where my mind was at when I first though of this bootup sequence. Its the GPU test output screen.

Hope this helps some folks in the future

I had the same idea, I am trying to run RetroPie on my Raspberry Pi with Debian 11 (I can't install RetroPie on Bullseye) on a Docker container, and I am using my iPad as a screen through Remote Desktop, and a Bluetooth controller (8Bitdo Zero 2), and I can use Emulationstation (my gamepad works fine there) but when I launch any game my controller doesn't work (I don't have a wired controller so I don't know if that's the problem). I've tried to change the retroarch controller configuration and changing it to "sdl2" only works one button... I don't know why. If you don't have any issues maybe I could try your Dockerfile because it might be my setup?
