So this what I have. The grid actually works and all I really need to do now is add in all the Metadata and positioning of everything. I used <autoLayout>1 5</autoLayout> under imagegrid to specify how many columns I have as well as how many games are shown in the grid. Anyway, thanks again for the help, even though I ended up figuring it out for myself. At least I know that what I did matched your suggestion to a T.

@landyvlad said in What theme would you choose for a cabinet?:

Let's say for the sake of argument that you were to build an arcade cabinet for your retropie... what theme/decals would you choose?

Well, I actually built one and chose to design it like the original Asteroids cabinet:

I wanted a single, classic design with a black background and vibrant, high-contrast colours to emphasise the retro character of the cabinet.

@quicksilver I can do VERY minor graphic changes. I'll have to take a look at where that's at and see about changing it.

I added Pocket Challenge V2 in Cygnus Blue Flammes theme.

You can run it with MAME or WonderSwan emulators
With MAME, it's pockchal

You can use Development of module-script generator for lr-mess, lr-mame and mame standalone to install this system, but you will need to manually add WonderSwan emulator connections.

I'd love to test this on a raspberry pi when you are ready for beta testers.

Is it going any great?

And I was just planning on doing a Dreamcast only image! Keeping tabs on this one for sure!

Please don't re-post the same topic multiple times.

@mitu i remember adjusting that to see what it does. now i know! looks like i had set it to 0. reset it to 100 and looks like the issues are fixed. think i was over looking this as it was one of the menu options that was opaque when selected, making it hard to read.

thanks for the help!

@Starkregen thanks that’s very kind ☺️

A game details page does seem to make sense yes. I’ll probably add one in the next release also.

Bumping for posterity

RetroPie doesn't have any music in EmulationStation - are you using a 3rd party image ?

@2play Where can I download these?!?! They look great! Does it support Pokemon Mini??

@h2805270 Really clever idea, looks a lot like Teletext, and clean layout too. My only reservation is that I'm not sure I'd want to spend too long looking a Teletext screen, as they're not the easiest on the eye. I was never a big user back in its heyday though, and others may well have a greater fondness and nostalgia for it.
