Vintagic Theme

[virginsteele]

Hello All.

I'd like to share the theme i've been working for my Retropie project, Vintagic.

This Theme is based on the look of the game console boxes and box art(whenever I feel they were appropriate). I always wanted to have a theme to show large views of my box scans, so this theme Designed for use at 1080p with hd/large box scans.

Currently it supports:
Arcade Atari 2600 fba gb genesis mame Sega Master System megadrive msx neogeo nes pcengine sg-1000 snes tg16

Because of emulationStation limitations on vram, and lots of blank screens, I made 2 versions of this theme:

VintagicSD - when you have more than ~6 systems,
VintagicHD - when you have less than ~6 systems.

Still a WIP, so try it out and let me know what you think!

Also big thanks to Ruckage for his NES Mini theme, I based my on yours, since when the nes mini came out I planned to do my NES version like it.

I've put everything on a website, so it's easy to share. You can download then there:

You can also get some splashscreens on the site :)

OMG! Your splashscreens are awesome!!
Why don't you submit them to retropie-splashscreens-extra repository? (I can submit them if you don't mind.)

[DarkWolf]

@meleu That would be awesome if you ask me :D

Also, some really great splashscreens on your website!

Hi all!

Just added a new system to the vintagic theme - Gameboy Advance

[tronkyfran]

This is amazing. VERY nice work.

@virginsteele
Does your theme support the "new" system carousel themeing already? or is it planed

[Syhles]

This theme is really nice I'll make sure to try it out when more systems are added, hate using themes that don't support the systems I'm using.

Looking forward to watching this theme progress.

I have to say the gameboy advance is my favorite so far, except i don't like the luigi rating. Great job though.

[mattrixk]

@virginsteele Seriously cool. I love the Gameboy especially.

One question, 3 of the images have "rating, players, genre, dev", except Neogeo which has "players, rating, genre, dev". Any reason this one has a different order?

[virginsteele]

@DarkWolf Hey, I did not know there was a new carousel system !? how do I get it ?

[virginsteele]

@mattrixk Hi, I didn't plan any order...

You can look into this "demo" file:

You can also look into my updated version of the NBBA theme here (some pictures included):

Very, very nice - great idea to have each one themed around the box style, really makes it stand out from what is becoming a very crowded 'marketplace' - will definitely give it a go when it is finished

[Darksavior]

So how do you get the HD box art? I don't believe the site sselph's scraper uses has any hd box art.

[CodeDrawer]

Might I ask, how do I get that theme? I LOVE it!

[DarkWolf]

@CodeDrawer You can download the current version on his website:
http://thepixelhand.com/retropie/

Scroll down a bit until you see "Download Vintage SD" and "Download Vintage HD" and choose the one you want

@virginsteele Really nice work, love the design!
