@cnoto Thank you very much. This database looks awesome! I will surely find the right stuff for my bartop.

@h2805270 Wow, thanks for the B/W versions. Nice. I do like the rearrangement on the "Adventures" logo. And also thanks for appreciating my short writeup on the logo editing.

FWIW these are the fonts used (grepped from the accompanied README.txt in the initial post):

Font: Acknowledgement (SIL Open Font License v1.10)
Font: Amira Light, https://www.ffonts.net/Amira-Light.font
Font: BPdots Unicase Square by George Triantafyllakos
Font: FV Almelo (free personal)
Font: Nexa Rust Sans Black (free personal)
Font: Mallica Fairytale Demo (free for personal use only)
Font: Master of Break (free for personal use only)
Font: Nexa Rust Sans Black (free personal & commercial)

If someone needs the text as text logo versions (and before converted to path objects for final display) pls shout. Note that in some logos I did change the font-path afterwards.

I figured it out. Change md_image in the theme.xml file to md_thumbnail

@mitu thats how I had it previously.

It must be something else.

But not a big deal everything still works.
Great system retropie.
Thanks Sim

@chicuelo Thank you! Your Dark the is brilliant by the way, thanks so much for making it available for us all! I made one tiny change - swapped the Amiga character art for one I made by editing the box art for Putty (I used to love that game!):

Thanks again, and I look forward to seeing whatever you might do next! 😊

@mitu
Yes all over covers are great it's very unusual.

It doesn't matter its only just the one cover it was 2 previously the other one seemed to get fixed by deleting the entry in gamelist and making it again but same thing not working with this one.

It shows correct in a different gamelist view which is strange.
Thanks
Sim
PS similar behaviour happens when I goto add a game to favourites I see the artwork squashed but it goes back to normal straight after

Besides posting them here, I guess for bezels you can try creating a repository similar to @UDb23's one and submit it to @meleu's rpie-art.sh script so it can be installed by users (see https://github.com/meleu/rpie-art).
For boxart, maybe adding them to a scraping site directly (i.e. ScreenScraper.fr or MobyGames) in addition to posting them here.

If you want to use forum, create a topic for your artwork (or 2 for each type of artworks) and update them periodically in case you add new stuff.

I think that has to be one of the hardest games ever...

@brigane Can you suggest any other people who do similar style widescreen bezels? Just want to make sure I haven't missed any.

Fixed it, I simply updated lr-mame2003 in retropie setup.

Many thanks for your help.

Here's a link to the shared backdrop worksheet that I created: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IrWY23hIjK30ND-7ZTsxeR5b4wsHhKSA0pfb3CSRlJY/edit?usp=sharing

This appears to be working for the artwork.

If installed through RetroPie, first create symbolic link: sudo ln -s /opt/retropie/supplementary/skyscraper/Skyscraper /usr/local/bin/Skyscraper

Command line example for SNES in the USA region with use with EmulationStation: Skyscraper -p snes -s screenscraper -u username:password --unattend --nohints --region us

Command line options

/retropie/configs/all/skyscraper/config.ini

EDIT: After the artwork is downloaded i was able to generate gamelist.xml.

@sirhenrythe5th Carbon supports video. As far as I know, the only grid enabled themes are @ruckage's Pandora and Neogeo mini themes, which are not in the RP list of installable themes (specifically because they only support the grid view).

Every thing must end one day. Today is the end. Here are my 3 last overlays. Do not worry, it's just before holydays. I will come back at the end of august or beginning of september. Perhaps, if I have time, I will release one or two small things during this month to keep you awake. But do not expect too much.

Today, I give you three overlays for three classics. Some are more famous than other, but they are all a part of my gaming history. Let's go :

Mappy (Namco):
Mappy 1080p overlay

Popeye (Nintendo):
Popeye 1080p Overlay

And of course "The Classic" Mario Bros (Nintendo):
Mario Bros 1080p overlay

As everytime, all this stuff is available here, in my reporistory or in the @meleu rpie-art script.

Now I will relax a little bit and prepare the next season. I wish happy holydays to every one and hope to see you again in a little bit more than a month.

@grant2258 - Thanks for the information. I've been spending some time messing around with the the options and thing make sense now. I think this core is complete for me, game wise. I've added all the games that I remember or have been suggested as good play. The only games I add now really are what you and Arcadez implement or new backdrops, then I'll add that game too. :)
