Retrorama Comic Theme

@mrjordaaany - I'm a noob in retropie, the only two things that i know to fix this is ser the vram limit to 80 and overclocking.

@gaavoid - i need to mark the option for ES show snaps when there's no video available. gonna do that on the next update.

[lipebello]

I'm working on some overlays for the systems.

[MrJordaaany]

@gaavoid You hit the nail on the head! This is exactly the issue. They only thing different for my Neo Geo games is that there is a few videos in there. So changing it from auto will solve it, but I will loose videos for now.

@lipebello Sounds like you are on it :) Look forward to the next update. Love the overlays too. Where did you find that awesome image of Tarma in the Metal Slug?

[lipebello]

@MrJordaaany - I drew it. All characters and consoles are hand drawings, the rest is vector.

[MrJordaaany]

@lipebello I gotta say man, that's pretty incredible. Knowing they are now hand-drawn really speaks for the quality of the theme. Tarma in the Metal Slug has to be my favorite from the theme, you really nailed the artistic style of Metal Slug perfectly. Top job.

At some point I am going to make a bartop Neo Geo themed arcade. Would love to use your Tarma drawing if you let me.

[lipebello]

@mrjordaaany of course.

Awesome @lipebello! I absolutely love this theme and everyone that see's it always comments on how wonderful it looks.

I'm currently are using your existing overlay's, so can't wait for these system specifics ones - to go with your theme and system boot screens of course.

Fantastic stuff!

[lipebello]

@asmithau Thanks! i'm just need to do some work on the hack and japanese systems bezel. I want them to be a little different than the regular ones, like the rest of the theme.
I'll be updating the github on this week

[asmithau]

Thanks @lipebello! looking forward to it :)

I have my paypal account, filipebello@yahoo.com.br, and a lot of people asked me to make some shirts with the covers, so i'll leave the link here too. https://www.teepublic.com/user/lipebello

@lipebello I love this shirt: https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/1703495-alamogordo?store_id=126251

[MrJordaaany]

@lipebello Phil! I just noticed something and now have the tiniest nit-pick to make with your theme. For the Metal Slug tank for the Neo Geo system you have two exhausts emitting smoke. Only one is an exhaust though. The one closest to Tarma is actually an antenna.

I only say so because I recently built a small scale Metal Slug tank and that particular part is called an all-terrain antenna. Just a small detailed I noticed for your drawing. Not trying to be critical! Just thought you might wanna know. Really love your work :)

[lipebello]

@cyperghost, @meleu , @asmithau Thanks dudes! i'm really happy that you guys are enjoying this.

@HurricaneFan , yeah, i've always wanted to have one, since i discovered about the landfill watching AVGN.

@MrJordaaany , didn't know that. thanks for the tip. Gonna fix it.

First pack of horizontal overlays:

[asmithau]

Awesome @lipebello! Can't wait to try these out :)

[PeteJaquay]

the latest version of this theme seems to be broken, it might be just me but both on my pi 3 and on emulation station on my pc nothing is showing but blank white bg with plain black text for system names. really love the way there is no white system name bar and the system select bg and menu bg have seperate images. was using the older retrorama release to make my own personal menu for a 320x240 screen handheld but at some point after i did so much work it now is showing the white system line and i cant figure out how to get rid of it :(

[lipebello]

@petejaquay Try to change the theme, uninstall, reboot and install again. On version 1.75 i changed all images from png to jpg to save space and make it smoother.

[PittStone]

@lipebello i have the same Problem with emulation station. Nothing is showing but blank white bg with plain black texts. Is there the Version 1.7 with .png pictures to Download?

[lipebello]

@pittstone https://github.com/lipebello/es-theme-Retrorama/tree/1.7
try to download it and put in configs/all/emulationstation/themes to see if it works.
