Retrorama Comic Theme

[Joe Gillian]

@lipebello I think you are right. I downloaded the theme from your github and tried others that don't have this problem. Maybe I should try updating my batocera. I'll try this soon and keep you posted.

I see that some of you are able to get a marquee or steam grid image to appear in the box to the left of the game rating. How is this accomplished? It’s just a blank space for me. I’m able to get the 2-D box art, metadata, and video preview, but that’s it.

@joe-gillian i think that recalbox and/or batocera have a different theme code and should be remade for it. There some videos on youtube where people are showcasing it for batocera and recalbox

@Zapan i use video view but i don't scrape videos, just screenshot and marquees

@lipebello Hi there,
Your Retrorama theme is the best theme I can find, it is awesome.
But for some reason I am not getting the Magnavox Odyssey 2 screen appearing.
I have tried updating the Retropie script, un-installing the Retrorama-Turbo theme and re-installing.
Will not show the new Magnovox screen, just blank???

Please help.
Thank you.
I am new to Retropie, I have the Rspberry PI 3B+ and running 4.7.1.

It's ok now, I fixed it.
I edited the <theme/> name in the es systems configuration file here:

sudo nano /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

Then I edited the following as my file had "videopac" as the theme name, so simply retitled it to "odyssey2" and now the new screen appears:

<system>
<name>videopac</name>
<fullname>Videopac</fullname>
<path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/videopac</path>
<extension>.7z .bin .zip .7Z .BIN .ZIP </extension>
<command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 SYS videopac %ROM%</command>
<theme>odyssey2</theme>
</system>

@lea74 Hi, thanks for the kind words.
Didn't know that odyssey2 system should be called videopac. gonna upload it on the theme. thanks!

@lipebello
Great thanks.

Also, just wondering if there is any possibility you may add a screen for the Commodore Plus/4 in the future.

Thanks for the continued work!

@lipebello just can't wait for that! Being a fan of your awesome work and following your social media for a while, you rock!

By the way, are you planning to release a Rock n' Roll based theme or just having fun teasing us? =D

@lipebello Just discovered your theme and love it!
Any chance that you will add 3d0?

Hi

I'm coming back after quite some time away from RetroPie. Any news about the 4:3 version of Retrorama that was mentioned in the past?

I'm really looking forward to it for my arcade machine with and old CRT TV.

Regards

Hello, I love this theme, currently I am missing only Wii and PS2 images. Do you plan to add them in near future? Without it my system is incomplete and I have to use duplicate pictures from PS1 and GC. Thank you, you're the best!
